  1. The 2 headers need to be connected using a hanger or an "H" angle. Scott did you use a wall material region for that wood siding, that's a perfect use for that tool.
  2. Using Ccleaner did you also clean the registry, that can also slow everything down if cluttered up.
  3. Just add the lib. wall to the plan, then select all the walls you want to change, and go to your wall DBX, and the wall you added from the lib will be in that DBX to select from. Any wall you put on the plan will automatically add it to the wall DBX.
  4. They are done all the time and we really don't use structural glass ,we cantilever beams, done very simply in residences. I don't think the window frame has anything to do with it, if I understand you correctly.
  5. It must be hard for Chief to design the program with all the different systems out there.
  6. yep, I have never use the auto place outlets , they have never worked correctly for me.
  7. You can copy the plan to a new template. There will be repair though.
  8. Isn't using the sub-fascia and the fascia the same thing, In that case you don't need shadow boards. if you need a built up fascia then yes.
  9. Just delete the shadow boards and use the sub fascia and fascia to what you want them to be very simple, the rafters will then go to the outside plate line
  10. Actually I do use the Ceiling height of 18" for the Crawl Space, just no ceiling finish. Min 18" clearance is needed for a typ. Crawl, but sometimes it could be 36" depending on how high the floor to grade is. The 18" is really to the grade with no slab. I always have to draw the grade line in every section, it would be nice if the program did that.
  11. I use "Screencast", they say anyone can watch them from there b/c you upload to their website, they do all the work from there. But I just do video's using the cameras. I never liked walkthru's
  12. This happened to me and I told them I have already done 6 homes there, and they approved me. no problem.
  13. Yep I hit that save button every chance I get.
  14. I sometimes will have to use the "Auto Detail" a lot of times to fix up those slabs in section view especially if they are combo raised to slab conditions. Anything other than very basic needs cleaning up but can be done.
  15. Check the Internet. I have downloaded details directly from the manf'r. Much better than doing your own.
  16. We don't want to combine basement floor plan and foundation on the same plan. We want them separate b/c here in California we must show all the shear, holdowns, Bolt placement, on the foundation plan. I need the basement floor plan clean for all that Architectural info needed for that page. In all my 40 years, I have never put them together.
  17. You should be able to slam the sliders to the corners with a small steel pipe coll. It's doesn't look like you want all glass in the corner, at least it doesn't look like it. That would certainly make it easier to model and build.
