DRAWZILLA

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.

Scott , my charge for plots is 1.75 each, and for property reports is 1.50 each

Really, I was never aware of any plan like that. I was brought over from Dataquick when Core logic took them over. They just add whatever charges I might have that month which is way less then a hundred to my credit card. I was offered that plan recently within a few months ago. Maybe you should ask them about it.

no monthly fee, just pay for what you take, and they will do it automatically for you. and they have Tiff. maps

That's exactly what Corelogic does.

And if you like to use opening indicators it will show as an openable door in elevations--not good

See if you can select to see what it is, and maybe delete it, or you can turn the layer off for that view, once you determine what it is. Usually when I see that it something that has framing of some kind that isn't straight. If you can post the plan someone here will give you the exact answer.

We have to show along with the post, the grade, #2 #1, and if it has a post cap, and what kind it is, and also what holdown it might have.

yes looks like a great site ,if I can figure it out.
