    Hey,

    Matt (or David) didn't answer my question (prev. post). BTW, I was impressed to see what document format Matt used to post his drawings.

    Andrew,

    In response to your question above, it is not currently possible to make the wall different widths by moving the side faces in the wall type. Vertically Compound Walls are currently restricted to be the same thickness. There are workarounds of adding wall sweeps or reveals or breaking up your wall into two wall types. Please call support if you need more info.

    In response to your question about document format, here's the dwf as well (notice it's smaller than the pdf?).

    Thanks for the quick response, Matt. Smaller dwf file size noted. However, when I double clicked on the dwf file download, AEV 3.1 reported that the file type was incompatable, & would not load it. ??

    I had the same problem with Matt's DWF, but then I right-click downloaded and was able to open it with no problem. Bug?

    Yes, I think it's a bug with this board, you have to right click download, like Allen said.

    Best be would be to zip it.

    Try updating to the newest version of AEV. You can check automatically from AEV under "Help|Check for Viewer Updates"

    I used the current version (Ver 3.1 Build Version: 3.1.0.92) to preview the file here and it worked fine.

    If you still have problems after updating, there is a newsgroup called "autodesk.express.viewer" at news://discussion.autodesk.com that might be able to help more that we can.

    At this point I have been steering my clients away from vertically compound walls - unless they have good reason to use them. If you want one section of the wall to be thicker, it won't work, as noted earlier.

    None of our print shops out here are interested in DWF and only time will prove whether Autodesk will change the format yet again, or make you pay to even look at the format, etc.

    And while I'm blazing away with my rant-gun: I keep a copy of the Acrobat 4.05 reader around since later versions are bloatware, and take forever to load. If ain't broke, don't bloat it!
