    I have been keeping tabs on room planner and it has gotten a lot better with each new version, and almost there. It could be a really good measuring device with a few tweaks, espically for us eye challenged people, it's even hard to read my own writing at this point.

    Room planner has no way to measure the property outside the house, I think this is important. It would be nice to draw a box for the property line, adjust any angles that property has, and dimension to it. Also notes should be easier b/c ,I add lots of notes and take a 100 pictures when I measure for a remodel. When room planner has that then I'm in, except for the pictures, I can do that with a camera.

    I think we all, at sometime, feel like you do, Michael. I just move on and chalk it up to "It's Their problem and glad I don't have that disease". I'm glad there are people here, like you ,to tell the story differently, Maybe then they will get it. It's all about everybody helping everybody.

    If you have trusses and want stick framing, just install your trusses and frame it, the places you don't have trusses will fill in with stick framing automatically but beware if you have any tie-ins over trusses, you will not get any framing for the tie-in so you have to do that manually. been trying to get Chief to fix that forever. do it last thing when you don't need to auto frame anymore or you will lose your hard work

    You can always just save them to your lib. also.

    You need to delete the drywall under the rafters in the roof DBX to get exposed rafters, also delete soffits.

    Foundation walls are just like any wall, you can change them at will, make a room, if you watched any of Scott's videos, you could see he just copies normal walls and pastes them on the foundation level. Even using a mono slab, the footings are changeable.

    You mean the drug tip with reminders.

    I have used it on interior walls where the drywall extends down over a conc. wall, you just have to be aware where the main layer is and flip the wall if you have to. It only extends down on the main layer. Never done "ICF" walls, try it and see

    California has prices all over the place, even within the state. I would start out low to get work ,then after they can't do without you, pump it up.

    Oh Oh, my secret is out, at least it didn't show my dealer. How the He** do you turn that off when doing video's. I tell you though, if I didn't have those reminders, I would be dead.

    Right now you can just use an air space, 3/8", for horiz. furring until Chief adds this kind of feature, or you can create a double stud layer wall using a 3/8" stud on top of the main stud wall for vert. furring.

    Larry here is a video showing the brick ledge depth tool for you. Remember don't paint walls still applies for me. http://screencast.com/t/rMaF6SVan

    Larry, you put the stucco layer on the main layer, it should be put on the exterior layers.
