    You got that right, for me, Family and friends are free (except engineering), always have been. I usually get a free dinner out of it anyway.

    Father in law, if you don't do it , you'll hear about it the rest of your life. Do it this time, just for your piece of mind.

    Greg I know, but most people don't know that. I use adobe, you can also use a password to lock it. There are many other programs on line that have better locks that are foolproof but cost bucks. If I was in the stock plan business ,I would look into those.

    Then I wouldn't do it and move on. Do you have a written contract people sign. I always have somewhere in my contract that original files are mine, and they just buy a service.

    I agree give him a "PDF" and lock it, he won't be able to print it or copy it.

    Maybe use both methods, I haven't tried it yet also.

    I Use a background mask, there are videos on this in Chief's videos. then when you remove a wall the mask under it will show up as a removed wall. I do that and have been for many years, I can't think of any better way to do it. It also creates a very clean model. .

    Chief will always conventionally frame in those areas that don't have any trusses automatically.

    You should post the plan for an exact answer

    her it is . Look at the bottom left about what is highlighted

    Did you re-frame the roof to get those rafters in there? Select the roof plane and go to the edit DBX and reframe the roof plane or turn on auto framing for roof planes

    I use it all the time to put a railing into an opening.

    How simple was that. I'm thinking the worse.

    Sometimes you need to shut off the computer and re-boot. I always shut down every night.

    Doesn't the truss base work? That looks like a simple roof overbuild to me. Here in Calif. we do those all the time. I mostly build all my projects using all conventional lumber but some existing homes are trusses. Isn't that roof overbuild done conventionally anyway?

    Ok, I posted it at 1:04pm. I do know any computer can not keep the time correct if the internal battery is low or going out. How old is your computer?

    If I turn on Framing-rafters, I get them.

    Chief goes on Pacific time

    They can if you make one as "No room def"

    The pic looks like you can see thru the overhangs into the room, maybe that has something to do with it. add soffits or try to frame the roof, you shouldn't be able to see thru it.

    Nice he best answered his own question, at least give Joe a point

    Just get the best processor and video card you can afford. That's the basic's of what it all boils down to.

    Use the Bearing line tool to keep the joists separate and you can set them at any direction you want.

    I guess there are not enough people like me that really need this stuff to save me a lot of time on every plan I do.

    I always keep my sections live and only use the Auto detail for insulation and foundation embellishments. Look into using Annosets to automate most of the work.
