No, he just builds better and I agree with him .He reviews every plan, if you only knew. It's good practice. He also teaches the classes at Cal State Long Beach. and checks the engineer tests for licensing for the State of California. Do you think I just go with what Chief gives me for framing, I don't think so. but I do like the double joists under all parallel walls

You are correct, it just my engineer for the last 20 years requires it. I would also hate to rely on plywood to hold up wall weight when it could be 20' tall

Is it a laptop, . The Ati Radeon is older tecnology. Is this an older laptop? Looks like your Radeon video card is older. but might not have what it takes to run Chief. Call tech. support Here is what I got from the web site about your video card The UVD 2 video engine is able to decode HD videos (H.264 and VC-1 in all stages, MPEG-2 only IDCT) and allows the fluent playback of HD videos (e.g. Blu-ray) with a relative low CPU utilization (called Avivo HD). The HD 3200 was the first onboard graphics card that allows the fluent playback of Blu-ray videos. The UVD 2 on the HD 4200 supports the decoding of two video stream and therefore got a full Blu-Ray support. The graphics core of the HD 4200 stems from the Mobility Radeon HD 3400 and is therefore DirectX 10.1 capable. Because of the missing graphics memory, the performance of the card is a bit lower than of the HD 3400. Theroretically, dedicated memory chips can be directly added to the chip, making it a dedicated graphics card. Because of pricing it is unclear if any manufacturer will add memory to the chip. Still older games like Doom 3 or Quake 4 should be barly playable. Compared to older onboad graphic chips (e.g., GMA X3100), the HD 4200 is much faster. Even the Centrino 2 graphics core (GMA 4500M HD) is noticeable slower than the HD 4200. Compared to the HD 3200 the performance should be similar Using Windows XP, the HD 3200 seems to have problems with current and older drivers, as there is no 2D accelleration. This leads to very slow interactions with windows and scrolling (especially with Firefox as reported in various discussion boards). More information on the topic can be found at Planet 3D Now (de) or the AMD forum. It is still unclear if the HD 4200 also suffers from this problem

Send to layout then export each page as a DWG. Too bad you can't export all the pages at once.

Copy the plan and strip it as needed

Even non-bearing walls parallel with the wall above require double floor joists under them.

What are your computer spec's, like" Cpu" processor, video card, how much memory? You may need a new Computer or video card. But it just could be a setting somewhere

Try to turn off "Hardware Texturing filtering" in Preferences / render DBX. This works with some of the AtI video cards, if you have one, what are your specs of the computer?

Turn off auto floor ceiling framing and just delete the joists you want. But you can't turn it on again, so do it when your close to finish. Are you sure there isn't a wall above those double joists? code bearing or not..

They better be working on it and put out the fix ASAP. This could effect everyone.

In plot lines the lines seem to work better b/c you can use your line weights from any layer-set you want. Using live view, you cannot use line weights, you have to use what Chief gives you, whatever that is. for elevations ,I use plot lines with shadows

I have a love my new 3d Connecxion mouse for navigating in 3d. Works pretty good. Still learning b/c it's very touchy.

I don't have to copy /paste any schedules b/c they are already in my template layout, ready to go.

I have found that with any version ( beta or full) there wasn't anything that I couldn't work around to fix.

All the views sent to the layout are purposely blurry for the speed of the program, when using live update always. If not it would slow Chief down. When you print it will be high resolution.

Then I presume you know what they are used for ? please enlighten us--bro.

Still don't know why we have this, does it show anything, other than some lines?

Use a poly line driveway.

All depends on how good your Attorney is and the judge. Of course any time you go to court, you lose. I guess you would have to see the copy.

If its a " no room def" wall then there won't be a very small room between the walls.

I had to use the overhang layer once to get the square footage of them for lot coverage . got it from the materials list.

Did you check the web site for a download ?

Then you have to change it back b/c they can' afford it.

Not yet

I never figured out what that overhang layer did anyway. Do you know? I'm not sure what changed
