Did you have success using his fix?  If so, what exactly did you end up doing?

Actually, I was working with the customer and I told them I was going to remove the loft and re-draw it.  They ended up liking what it looked like without the loft area.

I don't know why the triangle walls insisted on creeping into the roof area.... but problem is solved for me... for now.

Thank you everyone for all the help.

Reversed ? shouldn't they have Cedar Lap siding on the "Exterior Side?  or are you using the if Butting Roof Setting?

 

You know Posting the Plan is the best way to get help ....... 

The interior walls at the bottom of the storage... 

The dbx for the walls opened on my other monitor that had the exterior showing...

With Sun set at 200 and using an interior light set I can only tone down the glow to a bluish shade???

No!  Not Attic Walls...

No!  Not Attic Walls...

I have 2 triangle section of walls on each end of my balcony that appear to be glowing.  I turned down outside sunlight level to dusk and have a roof over that area... everything looks okay except for those two spots.  I included the window view so you can see the sun coming thru the windows doesn't hit the two areas in question.

This is done in X12.

Any guesses?

Honestly it was just a quick sketch and I never re-aligned the footing since I was trying to focus on the upper area.  The real footing would typically be centered unless the wall height increased and we needed to cantilever the footing.

You had us guessing on that one. :-)

The Slab is not sitting on the Footing nor is it "connected" to the stem walls due to the interior rigid insulation, the Slab is basically "floating" inside the Stemwalls , though personally I like to see rebar "pins" connecting them , having seen more than one example of (interior) slabs that have sunk over the years due to poor site preparation , ie no or little compaction. ( I assume ).

Thanks Mick

I was thinking of lateral forces pushing inward on the stemwall...

Hopefully Johnny will let us know...  just curious.  :-)

For Interiors folks especially, It would be pretty cool if there was a way to make a 'block' of the basic plan, or alternatively what I can only best describe as a 3D reference... or using Acad terminology...  Xref.   That would allow just the basic model without all the interior stuff added, to be referenced into several different options, and any structural (wall, door, window) moves would automatically get applied to all instances.

Is that what the new X12 Style Pallette tool does?

Johnny will need to answer that ...but maybe to counteract "Tip Out" (over) forces similar to a retaining Wall.

Maybe it is being built in an area with expansive soil... but I would think the floor slab would take care of that problem???

Why is the concrete stem wall offset on the footing?

I had to relabel all my layout sheets to match a bldg. dept's demand that all sheets follow their labeling protocol... or be rejected.

Seems to me it would be easier if each bldg dept would just add their stamps of what the "required" information is that they want to the planset.

Would blocking and saving your different kitchen layouts into your user library work for you?

I have a clause saying the first option to resolve a difference in opinions is by using the small claims court system... fast and cheap, and no lawyers.  If the amount is over the small claims court's limit, then we proceed to Binding Arbitration.

I wonder if you could get Zoom to work for you...

Sorry about that, what tricked me up was the "getting". Yes, the average cost to the employer of an employee is in the $60/hr range. This cost includes not only the employers benefit contributions but also other administrative costs and the employee's use/consumption of corporate facilities and resources. Definitely a valid guide one can use when evaluating their desired base income needs, operational cost and desired profit contribution.

One of the mistakes I see repeatedly in small businesses is the self-employed "working for wages" without factoring in the total cost of being in business.

I think you will find that the average factory worker wage in the US is actually around $22/hr, and that's before deductions.

You need to factor in the full benefit package.

What does your lawyer suggest?

Seeing how the average factory worker is getting $63/hr, you should price your services to make a profit.

Sent you some information in message.

Let me know if it helps...

Is your default cabinet height set to 34 1/2 inches?

Turn all layers on.  Zoom extent.  Marquee the perimeter and locate wayward objects.

If the 2nd photo is indicative of the rest of the Framing , I'd suggest dismantling the barn ( save material for reuse ) and Frame it conventionally if going to be a living space, assuming an Engineer thinks the block foundation is suitable for a new 2 story structure......

 

Or just build new next too it ...might be cheaper.....

 

Mick.

 

I was going to suggest using lighter fluid and a match... but Kbird’s 2nd suggestion would work better.
 

Not that I know of.

do you see the white wrench?
