There is bug in Lighthouse that has been fixed. This is the symptom: When a report is converted from ClickForms to Lighthouse, it shows up in the Lighthouse program and can be viewed in Lighthouse by Clicking on the Thumbnails which shows it was converted in to Lighthouse. However, when they send this Report to their Client, the Sketch Page is not included in the Report Pak by Lighthouse. Lighthouse has posted an update on their website that resolves this issue.

You can get the latest version of Lighthouse at the address below.

ClickFORMS Tip #25 - WinSketch and Garages - To add or Not to Add ?

Many of you have called about using WinSketch regarding the attached Garage. It is either subtracting from the Gross Living Area (GLA) or it is not subtracting from the Gross Living Area. Depending on which way you normally draw garages, here's some advice on handing garage square footages.

To Subtract Garage from GLA: In WinSketch, when you click on Draw>Area>Attached Garage, in the Sign and Modifies Windows, click on the Down Arrow and select "-" (Minus) in the Bottom Box and Click on the next Down Arrow and select Living Area so it will subtract the garage from the GLA, and then Click on the [Modify] Button and it will save these settings to the Attached Garage Area and you will no longer need to change this again unless you need to Add the Garage Area from the GLA (Living Area).

To Add Garage to GLA: In WinSketch, when you click on Draw>Area>Attached Garage, in the Sign and Modifies windows, click on the Down Arrow and select "+" (Plus) so it will not subtract the garage from the GLA, and then Click on the [Modify] Button and it will save these settings to the Attached Garage Area and you will no longer need to change this again unless you need to subtract the Garage Area from the GLA (Living Area).
