Use the 4.0 software. Replace the existing files with the alt files.

Hello, can someone please post two clean screen shots of the 3.1 Vignette 1st floor plan & 2nd floor plan (with everything turned on) for CDS - thank you (or direct me to one if someone already made this available).

I have the new NCARB software installed (so I can't use the alternates) and I do not have access to another machine (64bit) for alternate practice tests. I was hoping to just see a clean floor plan of the 3.1 Vignette (unbiased without other people's solutions), so I could practice by hand. Thank you.

I used 4.0 version software and replaced C4TUT3W1.dwg with C4TUT2W1.dwg, also changed the name to C4TUT3W1.dwg from C4TUT2W1.DWG, but it just didn't work. Did I miss anything, please help!!

Thank you Coach but it just didn't work for me. It couldn't be installed on my 64bit computer then I tried an old lap, it just stopped at 99% self extracting. :( looks like I won't be able to practice this now.

If you have the 4.0 software installed then use the 3.1 files like you would any other alt.

I did, but just don't know why it didn't work. I tried on both 64bit and 32bit laptops. Besides DWG file, is there any other file that needs to be replaced?

If you opened the dwg in cad and saved it, it won't work. You'll have to download it again.

Hi Coach,
The Software Link has been removed from the Iron Warrior Archive, Is there any other way I can get to the software to download it? I would like to do that so I can use the 3.1 practice vignette, as right now I only have cloud-based software.
Thanks!

Here’s how to run NCARBs software on Windows 10 using Windows XP Mode using virtual box VM.

[Completely free downloads, easy to install and set up. Run NCARB software without being forced to use their vpn for $10. Plus you can run version 3.1 and run different problem variations by swapping out two files in the NCARB folder]

Steps for setting up windows XP mode

1. Download windows xp mode here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=8002
Download the file named WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe. It’s 470 mb.
[Download and install 7-Zip at http://www.7-zip.org] You’ll need it to unzip the windows XP mode. Download the exe for your operating system, for me and most likely you it’ll be the one that says it’s for 64-bit Windows x64.

2. Create a folder to unzip to on your C drive (ex. C:\Windows XP Mode)

3. Run 7zip, search/navigate to where you downloaded the WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe file (most likely in your downloads folder). Right click the WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe. Go up to “open inside.” Click on ‘sources’, then xpm. You should now be inside the following C:\Users\your pc name\Downloads\WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe\sources\xpm\ . Once inside the xpm file copy everything in that file to the folder you created in step 2 (C:\Windows XP Mode)

4. Rename one of the files you just copied in C:\Windows XP Mode. The file is VirtualXPVHD. Rename it to VirtualXP.VHD (add the period between XP and VHD. (if you already installed virtual box the icon should change to a box. If not it’ll change to a disk drive)

5. Run virtual box and click “new”. Name the operating system whatever you’d like ie Windows XP. Under Version select Windows XP (32bit).

6. In the next step set the Memory size to either the recommended or more if you have a lot of RAM in your pc (probably 512mb min though).

7. Next step select “Use an existing virtual hard disk” and navigate to C:\Windows XP Mode\VirtualXP.VHD. You should now have Windows XP Mode in the left panel of virtual box. Right click. Start.

8. It’ll look like windows is booting up/setting up for the first time because it is. You’re basically running a second pc on your machine. NOTE: most of the time your mouse may not work for the first few minutes of the install because the drivers haven’t been installed. Just use the TAB, Arrows, and Enter keys to set up the first few steps (like naming your pc, selecting your language etc).

9. The first time after you “install” windows xp in virtual box it’ll most likely go to a black screen or at least it did for me. Not to worry. Simply click Machine at the top and reset or ‘host+r’ (the host key is the ctrl button on the right side of the keyboard by default. Also to get mouse control click the little green or yellow mouse icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (right click for the various options).

Once you have everything set up you may think the resolution is so bad and the screen is so small… this is useless… and the mouse control is so annoying why do I have to hit the little mouse icon all the time and why do I have to hit the right control key to get back to my real desktop (ie get out of the virtual windows xp desktop). The answer is super simple. Just go to ‘Devices’ at the top of the virtual machine, navigate to ‘Insert Guest Additions CD image’ and install the guest add-ons which give you full screen resolution and much much better mouse control. Also, if you want to easily copy files for your desktop to the VM windows XP desktop simply go to Devices, shared clipboard, and change the setting to bidirectional. Also do this for ‘drag and drop’ (below shared clipboard). In my experience these setting only worked after I installed the guest additions as well.

You may have trouble getting your VM onto the internet without the guest additions too. However, windows XP sucks at doing most things, including internet explorer, etc. So just download whatever you need on your regular desktop and drag and drop or copy/paste to the VM desktop (including and most importantly what you’re reading these really long, boring instructions for: the NCARB exe for 4.0 and 3.1!)

Hopefully this works well for you!

Special note: when I change the dwg file out in either the 4.0 or 3.1 versions even though I changed the aut file too sometimes the program still wouldn’t load (the program instructions not the NCARB program itself). It’s not a huge deal since NCARB gives you the program for the 3.1 and 4.0 versions and they worked fine. For any other variations you can find online, just write down the requirements or alt tab to them. Also, if you do download dwg practice vignettes from the internet do not open them in autocad or they won’t work (at least if you save).

Are these correct choices for 3.1 duct / joist combinations ? Just as a note, below calcs are taken from TOP of light clearance ( 8") to the TOP of joist ?

1st = 52"
2nd = 44"
Meeting Room = 40"

Thanks

Correct.


While I see how these values are determined, the base file shows a duct between the corridor and the meeting room. Shouldn't the second floor roof have to be raised high enough to accommodate the duct clearance of the second floor (24") and the lighting clearance in the meeting room (8")? As a result the plenum in the second floor ceiling needs to actually much taller. See attached image. Note associated duct penetrating the wall circled in red which I believe is 32x24. (This condition is just clipped from view on the 3.1 NCARB answer, so no help there.) Otherwise the duct would either slice through the roof structure and be exposed to the outdoors, or would need to penetrate the load bearing wall below the finished ceiling of the Meeting Room and then rise up to the ceiling plenum...unless that's exactly why the walls flank the north and east faces of the supply duct?

Based on Coach’s response this deduction is wrong, but I don’t understand why. Would you please explain, Coach?

Success in getting the 3.1 vignette to show up after downloading the software and following instructions, but the program for the vignette is no where to be seen. Can someone direct me to where I can get the program or troubleshoot my work? I replaced the .dwg and renamed it, but when i replace the C4TUT.AUT file, the software wont show me anything, not even the floor plan. If someone just sends me the parameters for the vignette alt 3.1, I wont worry about it.

Thanks!

I believe the C4tut.AUT is just the instructions. Those can be found in the 3.1 NCARB instructions. Use Ironwarrior: http://www.ironwarrior.org/ARE/NCARB_Software(OLD)/

Hi Coach

I downloaded the 3.1 alt files from the link you provided here. Among the 3.1 alt cad files in this folder I do not see C4TUT3W1.dwg.

I would like to insert this file because that is the file that matches the sample vignette in the 3.1 NCARB study guide. The other files are slightly different so I would not be able to check these off of the study guide.

Am I missing something here? Do you have any suggestions or know where I can find this file?

Thanks!

This link no longer works. Where can people, who have 64 bit but can run the software with some errors including not being able to see the program, find the program?
