relatively new to ADT2004, and enjoying my experience immensely. I do have
quite a bit of experience using R14 and R2000.
A couple of quick questions.
1. When using the 'Rotate 3D' command in
ADT2004, I often find that I must enter the axis of rotation (X,Y, or Z)
multiple times before the command accepts my axis. It usually gives the msg
'Invalid Input' 2,3,4 times before working properly.
Is this a fault on my
end?
2. I tend to use the 'Match Properties' command quite frequently, and was
wondering if it possible to set up the command to 'Match' walls, or doors, or
windows, etc., without having to click through multiple menus to do the same
thing?
Thanks for your time.

you for your quick response Dennis and Paul.
To elaborate on my 'Rotate 3D' problem; I work for a small Timber Frame Co.
and often produce 3d frame presentation and shop drawings from basic 2d shop
drawings. I use the 'Rotate 3D' command to rotate my flat frame drawings into
elevation. This used to work perfectly fine in ACAD.
Here's a sample command output:
ROTATE3D
Current positive angle: ANGDIR=counterclockwise ANGBASE=0.00
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects:
Specify first point on axis or define axis by
[Object/Last/View/Xaxis/Yaxis/Zaxis/2points]: x
Invalid input.
I am familiar with the 'apply tool properties to' -> wall, under the
tool palette. I guess old habits are hard to break, but would find it
incrediblely easier to type 'MA' at the command line to match walls, etc.
Guess I'll just put that one on my Christmas wish list.
Thanks again for your help.

1. I have not experienced the trouble you are
having, but I am curious what you are using 3D Rotate for? Most of ADT objects
do not need to be rotated in 3D. They have a display rep for 2D plan and then
another for 3D. Could it be that you are rotating in 3D to achieve something
that is better accomplished via display??? Please elaborate on what you are
tying to achieve.
2. There is not a single match props command for
this (big wish item) however, you can right click any tool on the tool
palettes and choose "apply tool properties to" to achieve the same basic
thing. Try it out.

only briefly looked over the Structural Member Catalog, and have inserted a
few columns this way. I will give it another look over today, along with
creating Massing Elements. My concern is that this may take longer to create
my frame model, than the tried, tested way of creating boundaries, extruding,
and 3DRotating of semi-complex shapes.

Dennis, glad to see i'm not the only one that uses 3DRotate 🙂
From the
Command line I do type 'x' (or y, or z), but it gives me back 'Invalid input'.
if i keep hitting 'x' a few more times it finally prompts me to enter a
rotation angle. I've done this in R14 & R2000 an infinite number of times
and it's never given me a problem.

I too design timber frames on the side,
and have not found a good way to incorporate the structural members
in to timber framing. most of my frames are drawn using solids and
like you, also using the 3d rotate command but i use the 2 point option to
"stand things up". Even using the old "solids" you will love the ability
to put "real" walls and windows into your drawings....There is also a very
expensive add-on to adt (3.3) not sure if its out for 2004 that uses the
structural members, adds mortise/tenon....., Can't think of the name right now
but I will. they also have a similar add-on for sips as
