    I have set up my remodeling template plans to have all the existing items not to show up in any schedules. When I start the as-builts ,everything is existing, then when done do a save as -existing, then start the new and change everything over to new, including new walls, windows, doors , cabinets, etc. The schedules just fill out automatically. Everything for new and existing is already in my remodeling template plan.

    remember ,for the soffit problem ,to rebuild your roof planes with each change, unless you have auto roof framing on.
  6. DRAWZILLA
    or just use a balloon frame wall, that's how they would build it.

    Thanks Michael.

    It's not 2700 to upgrade, it's less depending on what version you have
  9. DRAWZILLA
    are the downloaded manufacture files still in your download file on your computer.

    Did you turn off auto floor framing, if it is, turn it on and use the joist direction tool, it should work. Make sure the deck is not locked also. Under decking turn on auto framing or re-frame it.

    I know Michael (Alaskan_ son) has a nice purple one. Maybe he will put it up again in this thread.

    boy, do I need one of those.

    floor trusses are manually inserted ,so you need to select them all and use transform / replicate to raise or lower them or just delete them ,change the floor height and re-do.

    I used to draw in Softplan switched to Chief 12 years ago and never looked back. Chief is so much easier to learn.

    it does that with every version update during beta and every new version.. no return after that ,so be sure you want to go forward.

    I was just trying to do it automatically, you can just offset the footing in the garage to match the stem wall also automatically., isn't that better then workarounds? There does come a time when you need to shut off auto foundations and manually fix but not in this simple design.
  17. DRAWZILLA
    good thing b/c you really don't need any workarounds anyway for this condition, but there are other conditions that you will need the invisible wall, not sure why you are getting the sill.

    I think anyone would need more time
  19. DRAWZILLA
    I was seeing it in your picture, so I assumed it was not.
  20. DRAWZILLA
    Here is my take on it very simple
  21. DRAWZILLA
    You can just make that stem wall invisible.
  22. DRAWZILLA
    It can be done very easily automatically to late now but will do in the morning, unless Michael's video did it for you. I think what you are talking about is when a slab butts into a raised foundation then it lowers the stem wall down to the slab height.

    Larry, you were ignoring the "Stem wall top (C) section which would be at -18 to give you a 6" stem wall
  24. DRAWZILLA
    No, watch Larry's video above, that's what I do.

    I downloaded the final version with the new key and it doesn't say Beta anymore
