DRAWZILLA

Well, you just cut your own pay for the same work, if I'm reading it correctly. Not my idea of good business.

Nice score, Think about me at Christmas

Probably break the play equip. but I'll play.

This is when it pays to get up late on the west coast, never had a problem.

This job is not going to make any magazine's, so do it. After all we work for money, don't we. I always try to please every client, even if it wouldn't be the way I would do it. I know what I like but someone else might not. What your talking about here doesn't seem to be anything that hasn't been done many time before. As long as it's not something really bad, it just a matter of taste.

I LEARNED A LOT TODAY .Thanks for looking that up guys. 1foot, does anyone think its good enough to use for what we do. Could be, of course if I needed anything more I'd get a survey done.

So the base height could be 5 to 6' off. Are the waypoints then accurate to the base within inches? I can't be 5 to 6' off between waypoints. I really don't care about the base being off, but the waypoints ,I do.

Thank you for all the info. That went pretty easy. I was just wondering how accurate it is. Within inches or feet?

If you set up template plans and layouts, no need to bring in anything, it's always there when you start up every new job. Everything already sent to the layout. Very , very fast. open the plan and start designing right away, no set up other than some defaults and colors.

or just call it a balcony. depending on what you need

Isn't that what I said?

Larry, Chief will always conventional frame an area where no trusses exist. This is good for us guys that have mixed framing, which I have a lot. In an earlier video you may have changes the floor framing for one room. Nice video, you are doing so good with those.

for some reason the base molding was going crazy, I just replaced it with a manual one. River House fixed.plan

Larry, thanks for the video, I was just commenting for the O.P., he seemed a little confused. I think the reason that the balloon frame stopped where it did was b/c , I believe you used a roof plane, and a balloon frame at the below wall ,will only take you up to the roof, if you had used a floor system as the roof, it would have gone full height. But if you have to create a slope on that roof, use a roof and do it using the go thru floor method like you did in the video.

That depends on if you want the wall to balloon frame from the floor to the top of the parapet, or not. More info on how you want it to be.. Lots of different ways to do it.

Larry was trying to use the wall break tool that only works for walls. The 3 key is, the break line tool,

Also, if you make those parapet walls a solid railing wall , it will give you a wall cap.

Sometimes that tool doesn't always work for me, then I have to drag the walls around.

Since most of my work comes from local contractors, my workload is usually tied to the local home shows. They have about 5 a year around here. Constant work this year, not a huge backlog like it use to be. Haven't needed to advertise in 30 years.

everything conventional for me, haven't had to deal with a truss manf'r for lots of years. My clients just don't want to deal with it.

I'm not saying my way is the only way, just saying there are other way to easily add them to your existing macros. I put then in a folder on my desktop and that automatically gets backed up by Carbonite.

You can also just copy something with a macro assigned to it, to your plan and the macro will automatically come with it and install itself.

Just draw or copy it to page "0"

yes you can

thanks again ,Joe the label man.
