  1. well, 6'8 is code minimum because its allowable...same height of clearance as a door which we all have to walkthrough. Without knowing the implications of the structural change its possible you could put a flush beam, consult an engineer.
  2. This is a code minimum is what I am referring to: It looks as if you have a structural support above your first riser which requires 6'8 min.
  3. haha, this is a mac problem only. I know Ryan Gardner has put in some serious time with chief for a patch
  4. take a look at what DB said or you can customize your toolbar and add the auto interior dimension tool
  5. I believe you might be using the auto exterior dimension tool as opposed to the auto interior dimensions tool. For setting the auto interior dimensions tool, go to your active dimension defaults and change auto room settings to surfaces
  6. please post your .plan file so we can take a look. Can't tell about the railing without seeing the plan though I have some guesses. For your stairs, draw the stairs using alternate draw mode(right mouse click) This will draw the stairs down, thus changing the reference elevation
  7. best if you post your plan file. The return roof plane has been moved so the baseline is not snapped to your main wall layer. There are some other things a bit off as well possibly. try posting the .plan
  8. post spacing, newel positioning, architectural software, deck railing design, construction detailing, beam to post setup, architectural adjustments, dimension setting, railing customization, partition wall setup, construction software tutorial
  9. Use the auto detail function. this is correct as you this is a cross section view and the cutting plane goes through your foundation walls. Auto detail will poulate a CAD polyline with fill that matches your settings for those walls.
  10. didn't quite understand the question, can you explain the problem further?
  11. Certainly, although you might post your plan here so everyone could benefit from the guidance. Sometimes if a roof is simple enough we will do it and demonstrate the methods used in a video and share it back
  12. you should share these..as a community we come up with some pretty cool solutions but we have to know the problem I always love a good challenge
  13. Happy to take care of any of your Chief Macro needs. Custom conditional macros that drive custom schedules and much more. Automatic and user configurable pricing systems, custom schedules, callout linking systems, external file based macros and much more.
  14. would need to know more about this, a floor material region should work just fine or split your room with a room divider
  15. you are either using a rendering mode or camera that is vector based or you have textures turned off. I am guessing the former. Which camera are you using?
  16. That script wasnt quite all the way there, it was missing a lot of calcs. The following script is far more accurate but still wont work for shaped windows or custom muntins:
  17. well since you are making the argument, arguably if your substrate or insulation is not a combustible issue then the vulcan vent is your fire stop and should suffice as that is the "vent" to the building envelope
  18. You simply need a non-combustable non-corrosive mesh which you can just draw in with a cad line and add a note
  19. Fillers and partitions are there own category, so just remove them from the cabinet schedule and include them in another schedule but remove base/full/wall cabinets
  20. it doesnt have some features of zom, but easy to work with and yes just runs through a browser and they keep adding features
  21. you can make anything that reports to a schedule report to a custom schedule.
