DRAWZILLA

This happened to me and I told them I have already done 6 homes there, and they approved me. no problem.

Yep I hit that save button every chance I get.

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.

Thanks, I also use Acrobat Pro ver 10.

Ben, What pdf program did you use?

Check the Internet. I have downloaded details directly from the manf'r. Much better than doing your own.

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.

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.

Got that right. That is more true than most people know

I just build then manually so to eliminate some frustration.

In the text DBX under the options tab ,you can add the arrow by checking the box, if I understand correctly.

using soffits for a roof plane in the hard way.

Interesting study I use just a standard light gray fill, not using transparence at all, printing in grayscale with the setting for color off is grayscale

I find that in Chief I really don't use much cad at all, isn't that the reason I switched from a cad program in the first place.

Barry, no-file yet

How you going to frame that puppy

There will be a lot of times your plan won't fit on a 24 x 36 so tell him to go fly a kite, 30 x 42 it is, who's the boss anyway.

No I am not just ask my wife. I also misread some questions a lot, I had to re-read that one many times to get it.

I was just agreeing w/ Lew

I always use the layer option, makes it easy to change if you need to.

That would be a standard raised floor template. I don't include a floor in mine. leave it blank until I know what it is. That plan you have would not be a standard type.

Yes

I have been using Barry to take the load off of myself doing it. It has just got too much now. Its just easier to have Berry do it. Barry has done a great job for me and my clients

They are in your "My documents" file in the" Chief Architect Data" file, for windows. Mac, don't know

You can also create a truss there and modify it.
