Re: gray "block" when I drop in items .....
Awesome!

I will give this a try.

This program has been a life saver!

I am a mechanical designer and with the exception of some Solid Works projects I did for a group doing CNC 3 axis machining, my work is always done on AutoCad in 2D.

My partner (could not get married or she would loose her health insurance) and I just bought a lot and are planning to break ground with in the next month.

She is paralyzed from the shoulders down as the result of a diving accident then she was 12 ( she is 32 now). This will be her first house.

The program has made it easy to discuss design aspects with her ( clearances, a roll in show, counters that are accessible, ...).

I even used the movie feature for the first time (posted it on You Tube) to show a walk through of the house to family (who live 800 miles away), friends and even the builder (it even made it much easier to describe the odd features I needed to him).

It is not "great" but it did do the job. Once we get all the quotes in and the recommended changes from the builders, I will rework the model to be "more correct". There is a lot of details I "faked" just to get the model out in a hurry ( and a lot of details I left out).

If you (or anyone) gets a chance to watch it and sees and obvious error I am making using this program, please let me know! I am "learning on the fly".

Thanks so much .... Mike
