please post a .plan file

Okay so either a dummy floor or raise the existing floor and set a ceiling plan and manually frame some stuff to represent the existing roof...sounds like a decent amount of manual framing. Assuming you've got some kind of strapping or hold down between floors, shear transfer etc. I feel like the ceiling plan may be more agreeable, never tried anything like that before, maybe someone else is more equipped to answer

What’s the structural plan of attack? i would think a dummy second floor...can you get a floor truss to conform?

Hotkeys couldn't get me to custom library items like this system can...1 button push for w/h, toilet, occupancy sensor, fridge with cabinet over, microwave under cab, saved plan view switching, dropping saved notes and CAD blocks, even complex actions like adding an arrow to spline in under a second. Changing a room to mono slab or floor defaults in under a second with a single button push...and for me personally...there is NO WAY I could ever remember a couple hundred hotkeys...and that's just in regards to working from desktop with the ipad.. In the field with a laptop and an iPhone loaded with the same hotkeys works beautifully as well.

Or you could do even MORE work and map every ANSI key and modifier to a MIDI note and create a 4 page graphical toolbar for your tablet to perform very complex shortcuts like switching plan views in 0.7 seconds pressing 1 button, or dragging a slider for quick input of 1-12" with a 1/2" step modifier, or swiping across a toolbar and deselecting all snaps at once Still haven't had anyone step up to do beta testing and I've been using it daily, saves me 5-10 hours per plan on avg. Glen I included you because of your post in the other thread

please post your .plan file

What method of selection are you using? assuming you are referring to a house in .plan, can you post a .plan file? can you demonstrate in a video? Are you using the Edit Area Tool? the rotate plan view tool?

looks like your front door glass has a normal or bump map applied to it

Feeling a bit lazy and not wanting to create this from scratch if anyone has this at the ready...cheers!

this took me 16 hours to get the joke, but I got it finally! so good...so good

Agh really, free ones or paid?...do I need to strip that out? I thought Joe was the one that used “arr”

There are a large handful of ways to get a perpendicular dimension, the make perpendicular/parallel tool is one as mentioned, and simply drawing from a 90 degree corner with angle snaps on will get you this with a handful of different dimensioning tools...too many ways to skin this particular cat

I personally use a p-line with a dimension label per a suggestion/trick from alaskan son...that way it can report as a macro

B/C he's just so damn good at them. I will share a .plan that has a bunch of macros I've written including site area analysis....it is rudimentary in comparison to Joe's, mine simply uses poly lines.. also I have not gotten around to putting in instructions like Joe always does in his macros. I believe this plan includes his dimension formatting macros which he gave away a while ago. You will have to reverse engineer a few things....start in the ___jobInfo macro and it will get you very far...just requires user input download: EXAMPLE-N.plan

draw order as in my rafters are drawn over the top of everything but my roof planes, as intended, and the macro specifying a header in my window label has no option to be drawn over the rafters. I dont want to change the window draw order and then have to change the header draw order and then change the rafter draw order to achieve this display. I feel like there is a draw order option for labels, I just can't find it

Can't find this, can't even remember if it exists, bwain dead this am

Refer to this thread, their are detailed videos and explanations on how to get this to function quite well:

A restricted search will bring you a lot of regards to this,it has to do with file authoring and ownership...if one machine is trying to author a file while another is trying to download the same file it will often times result in conflicting copies. ‘In my sig is a link to a thread where I propose some advanced techniques for cloud syncing user libraries

I typically name my wall type and remove description entirely from schedules, but thats just me

An experiment to illustrate this would be to add the column "numbers" and watch as you have 35 new rows

Schedules will display based on "like" information pulled from the column headings that you choose to include.. as in, if you add a column type "floor" you will now get new rows of wall assemblies from a first and second floor regardless of a lack or presence of any other differences between the assemblies. In your case you have multiple wall types using the description "EXISTING 2X4 STUDS @ 16"O.C., NO GYP BD." and since you only included the "description" column, CA schedules will not distinguish between different wall types until you add the column type "wall type" so the new schedule has the column type" wall type" which is why additional wall types are present. Simply add a wall type column and you will see your schedule populate

Came up as a contractor and started using CA as a hobby in version 7 It only makes sense that framing is on the fnd layer, how else would you be able to truly decipher the floor to fnd connections...is it a ledger detail, a flush GH detail, a stem wall with rims, a slab w/ curb abutting a stem wall w/ joists...that information must be graphically represented with fnd and framing on 1 sheet...I see no other way, section details only get you so far
