Jim, you mind first detailing the type of addition, is it detached, what is the current conditioned floor area excluding garage and what is the existing garage floor area and then what is the proposed conditioned floor area and then the proposed additional garage?

maybe a viable solution? 2019-03-14 13-51-15.mp4

was just going off of memory, trying to grind away at a plan-check at the moment, ughh

this isn't worth time to create IMO, just a note 1/4" per ft should suffice no? Gave up trying to show slopes(floor sloping) a long while ago, doesn't serve any purpose other than to satisfy my being irked , haha if your determined to accomplish this, does a soffit show up in lieu of the ceiling plane not showing up?

Joey has it right here, method as follows: build second floor, set rough ceiling height to the height of your parapet wall. turn ceiling/roof-over to off go to first floor place ceiling joist as ledger use ceiling/floor truss tool alternatively you could keep it as 1 floor and drag walls up past framing should work perfectly

It's Rene , haha Hope everyone can join

Oh I beg to differ https://www.span.com/compare/WDS500G2B0B-vs-MZ-V6E500BW/62384-59582 Not apples to apples but YOU will notice the difference

I would pay for this- I've wanted to use it before as a method, parsing qty from qty of notes

you could also make a poly line area macro report for requirements and input into a note to show required area- in the table

@HumbleChief @Joe_Carrick @builtright3 Did a super simple schedule using notes- Joe's method is better but above my skills at writing macros- didn't complete this but you can reverse engineer to your needs. Qty needs to be input in macros, multiplies qty times NFA and reports...totals simply adds value together @Joe_Carrick can you pull qty from a qty of notes present? plan file containing schedule: vent area schedule.plan

Comes down to liability really, heaven forbid a house burns down...not saying the fire dept. would discover the ventilation was wrong but... Richard was correct, gave him a +1 Bay Area we are getting a lot of contract plan checkers who don't miss a detail

I know you stated that you stray away from macros but these would be a very simple couple of macros and a note schedule to create a very dynamic ventilation spreadsheet

oh man I missed that, just saw the form factor and glossed over the pinout...lame for Joe

ahh Okay, I see it... so in conclusion, pretty sure he has the 860 evo SATA 2.5" as a primary with a WD500 NVMe as a data drive not being used, and then the firecuda got ditched as he probably only has 1 SATA 2.5" space available

curious now if the 860 evo is an m.2 or SSD, I thought it used to be that the 800 series had no m.2 drives, not the case anymore or I am mistaken

the other 1 is your NVME, it is a 500gb Western Digital NVME...for some reason your tech chose to make it a data drive i nstead of getting all the benefits of using it as a primary with your OS...mistake in my mind

can you screenshot your device manager disk drives?

I''m still waiting for them to make an affordable m.2 external enclosure- they probably have since last I checked

It would be a clever scam, 90 out of 100 consumers have never heard of an NVME drive and wouldn't know that it was missing and then could make a quick $100

hmm very fishy, I can't think of any reason other than to scam that your 256gb NVME would no longer be in your system-thats just flat out wrong...someone may have taken advantage of you

yeah I deleted that, realized I was wrong as soon as I hit enter, haha

I'm assuming thats your second drive?

nvme uses the m.2 slot, as opposed to a standard SATA port that an SSD would use...so if you upgraded than it should still be an NVME, though not all NVME's are created equal- they are still faster than SSDs by a lot

More RAM the better for utilizing it to increase page files on secondary slow drives and RAMdisk partitions for better read write speeds- not because I need more memory for CA(I need it for other programs running while CA is taking up its fair share of RAM)
