Dept of Sneaky Tricks

What about "those" jobs with more than 26 versions?

We rarely have jobs with more than 26 versions....

The closest I've gotten is revision B.

But If you feel like they're still making a lot of revisions and you're on C or B,
then on the next revision you can jump to AZ, or BZ, or CZ...

The problem with the "Jones_9/16/10.plan" is that the file name is pretty long.
With this method, it's just "F", and you know that's the latest...

[jonathank]

Yes...but then you have to change the sort order.

Edit active camera

If you want to Rename a camera view, easier to have it open and then change the name here than trying to figure out what one it is in the Project Browser..

I always name/label the section for layout, copy the text and paste that into the section name..

You guys do know that we left "Sneaky Tricks" behind a long time ago with the file naming discussion - yes?

To sticky this message create a unique hash tag title (like Twitter) so you can search it easily. Do you think it'll work? #SneakyTricks

OMG! Brilliant!

Before I recreate this for myself, because you've done it now, show us 3D views from inside and out.

3D views looked good as far as I remember, got a busy schedule this afternoon, but will post back with 3D when I can.

Pretty Clever Rod!

Now why can't Chief just let us do it without all the gymnastics?

Here are the interior and exterior shots. I show a comparison with a standard corner window. Picture 1 and 2 are inside standard and inside workaround, respectively. Picture 3 and 4 are outside standard and outside workaround, respectively.

For some reason the lintel casing is melting down the right side window, but this occurs for both the standard and workaround, so I don't think it has to do with the workaround method at all.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but the easier approach is to simply get a running start with each window and jam them into the corner. Here are my pics using this approach.

I can't get the post to show as a 4x4, even though the windows are 4" from the corners. Looks like the post shows as the framing layer thickness regardless.
I can probably adjust the frame, sash & trim values.
Looks promising, though.
Thanks,
Jim

Scott,
How did you get your post to size down to a 4x4? I wasn't able to get that. I don't think Rod's post is a 4x4 either. Do a screen capture w/ one of your windows selected.

I do not know, it was nothing I did special, I simply got a running start with EACH WINDOW... one at a time..... and jambed them into the corner. If you can't get it I will do a gotomeeting with you... let me know.

Scott,
I tried that. Slammin' the window into the corner after a 50' acceleration.

It worked ..........kinda. The post is a full 4"x 4", but...........what does your post measure?

Jim

A true 4x4, I have no clue why it is a 4x4
