DRAWZILLA

I have been using my own joist direction markers because Chiefs are just too limited and always have been. I really don't like showing the actual joists in the plan, they are wrong a lot of the times and I don't want to spend a lot of time fixing then

I've done parallel for over 45 years. Now you know one, I know very few who does it perpendicular.

just having to fix thousands of stairs manually again and again

The problem is that handrails need a wall to generate correctly. . Notice there is no wall above the sink. It shouldn't be that way but it has been that way forever. If you take a camera view there you will see the stairs, just open

most Law enforcement will not arrest anyone in violation Scott I remember many years ago we could make our own invisible material that wouldn't show up in vector view but chief changed something along the way. we mainly used it for eaves when using sub-fascia to reduce the overhang size and wanted to see the rafter tails.

I do just as Scott does also

It's just one of those problems that just waste time and most of the time I have to set some play time to fix. I do notice the less of those joists direction arrows you use the better it gets, kind of like terrains--less is better and never 2 of the same direction in the same area. I know if anyone can figure it out you can.

I always spec "ohagins vents . They go on the roofing and gppd for fire areas--no eave vents https://ohagin.com/products/#:~:text=O’Hagin patented attic vents for tile roof applications,vent (subflashing) and a profile-specific secondary vent (cover).

I haven't had to do that yet but then again all my ADU's are separate detached buildings

foundations are just rooms like the floor plans, just select the foundation rooms and check do not include in living area or schedule

Chief has had many construction people on staff over the years.

Didn't you say you couldn't wet set in your post?

I'm in California and we wet set anchors on every job. you really should wet set all holdowns bolts also, although you can drill them in after, You will need a special inspection with each hole you drill --costly.

you might try a zip file or a cloud service like Dropbox , they have a free download

I like walkouts on level 1 b/c I like the foundation on its own level.

I have seen hangers on many of the new videos lately, That's not something easily done so I hope they are new automatically done.

I put all interior walls on a different layer than exterior walls so I can just turn everything off except one layer of walls and select them all at once. You can set the layers in the wall defaults so it's automatic

Just change the floor structure in the room DBX to what you need it to be. with auto foundation on , it will change automatically. With auto foundation off , you can draw the footings manually.

Chief has said for the last 5 or so years , each new release in the 1st quarter, they never give an exact date

You can change the gable sub-fascia to "0" and it will go up to the top.

good luck finding one right now.

PBR for me , I just don't have the time to wait for a good RT

Joe also is your stair macro still avail.

Glen has done many videos in the past.
