DRAWZILLA

If you use a door schedule, you can also have it there, without using a macro.

FYI-- Your manf'r and bonus lib. will update automatically by going to the lib. tab and using "Update lib catalogs". Chief is updating these all the time, I check these bi- weekly and most of the time there is some change. Sometimes it could be a fix on a symbol that might be giving you some trouble. Just do it.

If you can learn to use all of Chief in X7, correctly, you will save more time then you know.

simply---YES

select the window tool , then shift select all the windows, then change it there. match property's might also work

What city are you from?

You have to create your own walls, really easy.

Thanks Glen

Greg ok ,so you try to sister the new f.j. to the old c.j. with the electrical laying on top of the old c.j. You have to re-route the electrical, there is no way to do it using your method unless you are using 2x6 floor joists. Also, Gas lines usually also sit on top of those ceiling joists, do they magically just go through those f.j.. You also can't notch them that much, what gives. I have built hundreds of these and drawn thousands. I was looking at your photos and we just couldn't do that here also, your method creates to much of a hinge effect crippling that up like that. everything around here needs to be held down.

I got one and it is the best upgrade I have done.

That's Ok, we don't discriminate,, maybe you could wheel us around in our walkers.

Sometimes depending, you can also use a ceiling plane for the existing ceiling, but there is some tweaking with that. And you can control the direction. Greg, nothing up there ,really, what is everything underfloor, we got slabs out here there is no underfloor to put anything.

They probably choose me b/c I'm a troublemaker and they need to keep me busy or I'll cause more ruckus.

Haven't been to one yet but I'll be there this year too.

I made a mistake, it should read "you can't get anything by Scott"

you don't move the house. It always stays at "0" level, you lower the terrain to what you need

Move the terrain down. and adjust your footings to deeper it's easier that way. Here is your plan fixed Also adjust the top of the stem wall in the garage to whatever height you want. complete_plan fixed.plan

Glen have you figured out a way to get those newels (piers) to go 18" below grade? That would be great if it worked that way.

If your room is set correctly than it should work if you have built the foundation. Before building the foundation you get a virtual slab( not real) and I have noticed the Garage sometimes not working. By looking at your pic's, I can't tell if it's a virtual or real built foundation. If you did build the foundation, then try to adjust your garage height at that level with auto on. Post the plan if you really want the correct answer.

Look for dirt in the hole.

I think someone should try it and tell Chief, see what happens. Jail time could be fun.

I still have to buy that Disto laser but I just wanted to try room planner first. Its a shame b/c I already have a great laser with the camera built in that I paid over 600 for, just no Bluetooth. I actually use the camera all the time in bright sunlight. You don't have to worry about the little dot at 50 feet away and ,where is it. Oh well, time to raise my prices again.

Just goes to show, "You can get anything by Scott". The master investigator.

I just up-graded my iPad so now I can try Room Planner as maybe a tool for measuring, if it goes quickly , thanks for the tips. A good add on would be a recording option. I like to record all my meetings even when I measure, to catch everything and protect my a**.

I have been doing 2nd floor additions since 1974 like this, I adjust the 2nd floor, floor, by creating a floor with 2 framing layers built right into the floor DBX. You can then add your floor beams as needed, works quite well except the direction for the existing ceiling joists are parallel with the floor joists. I just fix up the sectionswhen needed. This method creates a great duct space and you can put any size beams you want with worrying about floor depth problems. Framers and homeowners also love it b/c you can frame with disturbing the existing as much. You also don't have to re-wire all the existing electric runs and gas lines.
