Getting worn out? Too many diapers?

But you're right. Maybe it's time for a FAQ in this forum, for beginners, simpler than the Archiwiki? Is it possible to find the 50 most asked questions some easy way? Moderators?

Actually, this is/was one of the reasons for the creation of the Wiki, however answers to these FAQs have not been implemented there yet...in part because we as a group have not been making contributions there.

Anyone can create a wikiname and post an article there for others to improve upon in wiki-fashion. Just hasn't been happening. For myself, it's easier to respond semi-coherently/quickly here than to produce real writing there, so to date I have been an editor there and not a writer.

If you are in the 3D window, turn around.. it has to be somewhere.

You are what you are.. part of being born into a human body.

3. Why can't I change the thickness of my wall?!
Tear down the wall, be free.

With a mirror

5. Where is the offset command?
Between the conscious and the unconscious.

3. Why can't I change the thickness of my wall?!
Because you are a mere mortal, you fool!

4. How can I change the picture in the picture object?
Stop trying to change others and change yourself instead.

5. Where is the offset command?
In AutoCAD.

6. How is ArchiCAD different than Revit?
It's not. It's exactly the same program but in a different box and more reasonably priced. So buy ArchiCAD.
