An action from the inspector was to add gable endwall bracing to my plan. The choices I think I have are:

1. Import an image.

• I would like to convert the attached image to a CAD block so that I can add more lateral bracing.

2. Create a lot of CAD lines.

• Extremely painful
• Is there a way to copy a number of trusses and the end wall and then convert into CAD objects?
• Are there CAD blocks of linear lumber already out there?

3. Create a text block

• Easy to do; but seems counter-intuitive when you are creating 3D views of your plan.

I know this is a common detail to add; so I know I am missing something. 

Hi Drawzilla, 

Could you elaborate how to do the CAD lines? I have an action on my plan to specify wall panel bracing. Based on IRC, I was going to use the continuous wood structural panel sheathing (OSB) method for the entire barn. In my plan, I am using Stucco-6 siding which contains that sheathing layer; but I do not know how to show that layer only or use CAD blocks (with the OSB Horizontal block from the library). Since my walls are 10 ft, I need to shoBarn2017_Rev1.planw the direction of the panels.

Move walls first then a line the foundation under it.  Then move the roof plane.  Some things will move with the wall like windows and doors.  Sometimes there's a items you have to move manually like furniture and objects.

After I think I followed your steps,

1. The external walls have been extended and moved

2. Framing didn't get rebuilt even though I have auto rebuild on

3. Additional trusses were added

4. Original Gable wall (with attic vent) is still in the original location.

5. Shingle roof properly rebuilt.

I have attached 3 pictures to show the above 5 items.

Edit area, should move everything at once.

 I tried the Edit Area (all floors) with no success. Only the bounded area is enlarged; but no framing, foundation, or roof is modified.

I have a plan for a barn (30'x40', external 2x6 framing, 4:12 shingle roof, stucco) complete. I would like to extend the building by 10' on the farthermost wall away from the single entry door which is the left wall in plot plan mode. When I try to extend framing, foundation, etc, I begin to get big disconnects everywhere and missing walls. Could anyone explain the proper steps to perform this so I do not end up recreating all of my work?

Hi Jared,

Let me try the attachment again. The key need is the plan to be modified/generated for Maricopa County Arizona.

Thanks,

Daryl

Need a Chief Architect X8 expert to help finish a detached garage plan. The attached plan needs these items:

1. Roof re-done for a 4:12 pitch

2. Site plan generated

3. Foundation plan with proper elevation (18" above grade) for a monolithic slab.

4. There is no electrical/plumbing

5. Framing plan
