DRAWZILLA

FYI, been doing it that way for 40 years--no problems, talk to a structural engineer that knows. you'll learn.

We try to create a truss effect even when there are no manufactured trusses. Ceiling and rafter joists at the same spacing. Much better than not.

framing defaults and deck defaults

Check the materials list for square footage's .It also includes the roof overhang area.

Not mine, he wants them on every job when not having a bearing ridge including a metal strap

1. upload into Chief from room planner's cloud, yes but the cloud has a max. of 5 plans at this point. 2. no camera views in room planner and they don't transfer, either way. 3. no

The more CPU cores the better for ray tracing.

I just draw them in, in section elevation view, it would be nice to have a tool, b/c I have them in just about every non-beam ridge condition.

I use this slab footing tool all the time and do not want it to default to invisible. It's good as is.

Actually I'm in Eastvale near Corona but most of my work is in Orange county, in every city there.

also save as PDF then print that should work

make out of 2 windows and slide them together in elevation view.

also try to center it on the page using the center on page tool.

I don't know of any groups in the Los Angeles area. But most of my work is in Orange County.

Some of us are all trained out. been thru it all, done that.WE sometimes work on things that are outside the manual, secret handshakes. Great place to go though.

Johnny You shouldn't mix raised floors and slab footings, if you need a slab floor in a raised floor situation, spec it in the room definition, or like Scott says outside the raised floor. Slab footings will not create a slab floor unless you make a room, close it.

Lew, wish you the best.

Greg--Funny There are lots of things to see and shop-women's fav. thing. Very nice place to visit and I would go back for some very clean air anytime.

The room planner app only imports into chief, walls, windows, and doors and the room planner generated dimensions if they are on.

Lew, You just don't get it.

with a 3' side yard setback, if so, you have 5' left, Not even a legal room size, plant a garden

Not having that problem at all. I thought I explained in another thread, you may need a new computer or video card. I'm pretty sure you upgraded to windows 10 and your old video card might not be good enough for that.

Sorry Vince, sue me and find out the truth, you will learn. I never copy anything. Purchase "right to modify", you have to be kidding. No one does that. Most of my projects, remodels, have no one alive to purchase from. There is also no way to find out who did the original and how to contact. I would never do that anyway b/c it my design now.

Don't waste your time and try for a 3d representation. Just handle it in a detail. It can be done but it could take you more time than you want.

Never had a problem also.
