Tracing the footprint to properly sketch upper and lower levels is vital. You don't want to have to recreate that all the time, especially if you're dealing with angles. And with dormers it's all the easier, send the line to the point with the jump hot key Cntrl J, and then draw out the additional distance. Jump to the other point, then drop the distance back. And most importantly, move the section to another part of the page. If I could not move the sections or sketch with an overlay, I would immediately not be interested. That's lender rules about final sketch never having overlay, it's got nothing to do with the sketch development and ease of the sketch process. If they've disallowed overlay sketching, that's not something I'd like to see in my software. Restrictions are never easy to work with.
I'm still on Apex Medina, and don't want to change. Although not offered for long, I really like the Medina and will hold on to it as long as they let me. It's quick, efficient, simple to work with, and allows all the functions I need.
If you select an Apex product directly it can still work with alamode. You'll just need to pay the apex servicing charge for them to get you activated and integrated into alamode. Then it's as easy as clicking the sketch button.
If you're unsure, why not roll it back and try out the Apex Medina? The old stuff, is oftentimes, the good stuff. It's not over reaching or too technical. Quick and simple, that's what I want from my technical items. All you've got to do is fess up a few hundred extra, or something.
Why did apex and wintotal split up again? I liked it when they were dating.
Sorry if I'm off topic. I'm still on Aurora w Medina, and have no interest in changes. Everything works fine, every time.
