  1. 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.
  2. Larry was trying to use the wall break tool that only works for walls. The 3 key is, the break line tool,
  3. Also, if you make those parapet walls a solid railing wall , it will give you a wall cap.
  4. Sometimes that tool doesn't always work for me, then I have to drag the walls around.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Scott , my charge for plots is 1.75 each, and for property reports is 1.50 each
  10. 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.
  11. no monthly fee, just pay for what you take, and they will do it automatically for you. and they have Tiff. maps
  12. And if you like to use opening indicators it will show as an openable door in elevations--not good
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. yes looks like a great site ,if I can figure it out.
  16. I use "Corelogic, have for many years, they bought out "Dataquick" recently http://pro.realquest.com/jsp/rq.jsp?&client=&page=error&action=switch&type=login It's a pay site, but you only pay for what you download.
  17. Yes, I always like to have a clean model, everything else goes very smooth. It's worth it for me.
  18. You can also change the "text style" for the beams and post, to get an underline text ( close to an arrow.) or bold it.
  19. No , both for me. For me That's too much of a difference when you could re-draw all the walls in 30 min. Maybe an hour later, its all new.
  20. For me what use to be a 3 page plan is now a 20 page plan, so I couldn't even think about it.
  21. Probably to many changes between Ver 6 and X7, It may take you longer to fix up than to just re-draw
