DRAWZILLA

The way I read (not exactly a lawyer), is no, but I could be wrong, of course anything you create is sharable .

Sneaky, I thought you had automatically did all those changes in real time with some new method. You have been eating too much kangaroo.

What if the X2 version is a hacked version, and not registered, or someone gave their old version X2 to him. Not saying it is, but this could happen.

I like it and use it a lot also.

yep, you got it.

David , are you sure Chief would want you to do that.

Break the foundation at the corner so you can change independently, you should be able to adjust it also.

NO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I meant what I said, select the footing and change the depth of the footing only, to Add 6", you still want the slab just like all the other levels, 4" thick. There really is no stem wallbut if you consider it a stem wall it would also be 4"thick but 12" wide or whatever the footing width is.

Select each raised footing and add 6" to the depth

Nope, look at the bottom of your footings only at the raised portion, they need to be 6" deeper to align with the rest of the footings, Its all about the depth into grade not the depth of the footings.

Isn't that Microsoft's motto also??

the rest of the American women want "Brad Pit"

You also need to select the raised footings and deepen them to match the un-raised footings.

Scott, I laughed for an hour, very funny. Do you all realize you pay for the lunch?

Here we really can't do any prescriptive methods, everything I do is engineered by a structural engineer with Calc's and site visits

Once you have a layout the way you want it , you can always save the layout with the city name and just use that one when needed.

Greg, you have to do better than that.

Prize isn't good enough to play.

Alan With nail on windows it doesn't matter, I could see your point if everything was custom, probably what you do in Carmel. Most of the homes I deal with for additions are tract homes, built cheaply . Those homes also have no interior casings, just drywall finished. When I'm doing custom it's a different story. My contractor clients would fire me if I sheathed the whole job.

This doesn't get fixed maybe b/c Chief thinks it's such an easy fix--you fix it and save it to your lib. for future use. I say a lot of users never go into the symbol DBX and get lost when they do, so for most people the answer is to just fix it for everyone.

Scott, even on stucco walls? We usually never sheath the whole house The stucco is easy to flair the extra stucco to look ok. Siding is another story , in that case they will usually fir out the remainder of the wall to match the thickness of the shear wall. And we never use vinyl siding strictly for that reason, too flimsy. Hardiplank siding will span 16" without the need for backing. But sometimes it make more since to just go ahead and sheath the remainder of the wall where shear walls are applied. But never the whole house.

Most general notes still apply, if it's not general, then I usually try to place any specific note on the plan it applies to, foundation, electrical, framing. I want the sub to see those in particular. Electrical is special and has the most notes just b/c of the title 24 requirements.

Hey, where's my chicken dinner??

I win, just admit it.

Most of the time we don't sheath everything except for earthquake stuff. I also have no walls with sheathing out here. Mostly stucco also.
