[K Red Design]

In relation to Chantale's tip on surfaces I use surfaces for driveways, raking ceilings and objects with angles. The only problem is in the export layer setup I have the surface set up as a dashed line to represent a roof. So if I use a ceiling or floor surface, in working drawings it comes through as the line type I have set for a roof. In the layer setup it needs a different line type for a floor and ceiling. For this reason I use a floor by pick points for a custom counter top.

Hi Keith,

I always use the floor to make odd shaped counter tops also. For sloping drives, if the terrain dies not slope, I use the Ramp (in Stairs), for raked ceilings I just use Ceilings and for many sloping items that are rectangular, I use the Custom Member in Interior Accesories / Decorative - it can be rotated to any angke very easily. I get lost with Surfaces!

I agree that different line styles for Surfaces is a good idea though.
