DRAWZILLA

Because it wasn't code then. As you know Calif has their own version of the 2013 IBC, so it's there

I just leave anything having to do with all this off the plan (to the side) of the layout unless plan check catches it, then just slide it all over to the layout. Sometimes I cut the overhang back to comply, it less expensive than providing the soffit.

I would love to do that but around here we have to draw the whole house on every project, even if the addition is 100 s.f. or just a kitchen remodel.

WOOPS maybe not. What code was that from.

I THINK MR. GUMP WINS THE PRIZE, A FREE DINNER FROM MR. TROLL

here is a detail for a typical calif. eave, and I think it's to the prop. line

I would try to set the memory to "in computer" and not to" in printer". that's what I use to do, but got rid of my plotter a long time ago.

Yes, I have had to do this for about a year now but not every city catches it yet so I just leave the detail for that off unless they call for it. Most cities around here use the 5' rule. just another bs rule.

We also like to make our own labels by using macro's instead of Chief's labels, that way you have more control.

Just hold down the "x" key and grab a corner of the label and drag while holding the x key down.

I always build the framing first, then add the trusses. When you re-build walls floor and ceilings. the conventional framing (the automatic ceil and rafters) will go away and the trusses will remain in those areas. A lot of times I have both types in one plan, works great.

DBX= databox. Where all the settings that apply to that tool is set up.

In the terrain DBX at the bottom of the first tab.

Just check "hide terrain under building" for the terrain problem

I have Adobe Acrobat pro ver 10. I going to update soon. Yes it the paid version but I don't want problems. I usually get the paid versions of everything I have

Never have a problem with Adobe Acrobat , you can even reduce the pdf file size if you want or convert to whatever.

Yep, Tommy, I do the same.

Not when you have 25 page sets.

Not me, Windows 10 will not install b/c Alienware (Dell) will not update any drivers b/c my machine is 5 years old.

I know an engineer in Anaheim you can use, he just needs full scale prints, and does no drawing, just for markups. P.m. me if you want his number

My laser device also loses communications with my IPad, all the time, Chief told me there is a setting (timeout type) I need to change but for the life of me ,I can't find the timeout setting I need to change. I lost the connection with my Disto when I upgraded to ver 9 so I waited for the newly released ver 9.1 and now I get a connection thru room planner, but it doesn't register in the Bluetooth section in the iPad, at all. Strange. I do agree it does take longer using room planner, I wish the dimensions were all on all the time and would stay if you wanted that. I'm not sure I can trust it at this point. Being able to lock a room would make me feel better about accidently changing a room I already did.

I just have the word viewer only

Either turn on rafter blocking or draw your own if it doesn't generate automatically, its in the roof DBX. Check all your framing layers for that camera view.

I like that idea.

That must be included with the macro package.
