    I can see in your pic that the ridge's at the gable end's are not aligned exactly, they are offset from each other just a little bit. Try to align the roof planes with an exact dim.

    Scott, I think it could be an Apple thing, I saw the walls in a P.C.
  3. DRAWZILLA
    We're not men, that I can say.

    Not knowing how your Apple or anti-virus works, I would think the anti-virus would put it in some kind of " Quarantine " and from there you can delete it. That's how mine (E-Set) works

    sorry about that If you want the walls on the second floor to go past the roof then just cut the roof plane around the box out. if you want the walls to stop at the roof ,use the "Roof cuts wall at bottom" tool, of course this is the manual way.

    You cant mix Chief with a trailer symbol unless you have mucho expertise.

    Set it up to use a text style in the layers to easily change the text size.

    Try to make your rendering as large on the monitor as you can, (fill screen) before sending. Also set your video card to the highest resolution possible.

    Chief works using rooms, I'm not sure what you have, but using Chief you need to create rooms and the ceiling height dictates how high the walls are.

    Yes why not just copy the stairs layer, and call it stairs cad

    Ok I'll take it, you would not get paid.

    Really Johnny, two different things. Design and final working drawings are different, most people have no idea how to do the structural or get it thru plan check, although in some parts of the country, you don't need much to get it through plan check. I always appreciate when people give me their idea's, I can take it from there and make it right without compromising their plan to much.

    Thanks Joe, again spell check, I should read these before sending

    I think the lady was talking about her home, and I'm sure anyone can design that. Weather its good or not is to be determined. That was a correct statement
  16. DRAWZILLA
    When you block anything , you also need to set the layer you want b/c just blocking it will put it on the default cad layer.

    No one is, Yusuf. Good design is good design, no matter who does It, and who see's it. Everyone applies the best knowledge they can, some good some not so good. the marketplace will determine. Certainly not someone on this forum.

    Joe , most people have no idea what Architect means, I have had to correct many. Most people call me an Architect not knowing. I do explain the difference to them.

    simply--NO

    Agreed this is nuts

    I also learned Architecture in college, good design is really what you make it. What you did learn is good design, as decided by your teacher. And I don't think I'm missing any point. When I hire someone to do drafting for me , I want it done my way. I also know what good proportion is, but it might not be what you think. That is why I try to come up with something that pleases everyone that works.
  22. DRAWZILLA
    Is the correct layer turned on/
  23. DRAWZILLA
    I disagree, you can't possibly be the only one who decides good design, the eye of the beholder could be another Architect or designer for sure. Never seen any of your work, i'll bet I could pick it to pieces, just like anyone could. Of course you try to discourage something that doesn't work. Maybe try to make it work, that's your job. What if someone really dislikes your design? Do you make it work, or say its my way or the highway?

    I was just looking at your plan ( photo) which doesn't have any windows in it. So it would be obvious to place a wall break there to accommodate for the siding. Much easier.
  25. DRAWZILLA
    You guys are just dreaming up things that almost never happens. Of course, there are some designs that can never should be done. but your ego's are just nuts. I would never hire an Architect with that attitude. This thread has become, you guys strutting around like your some kind of god. Face the fact ,you are not the only ones that can design, weather the design is good or not is in the eye of the beholder. It's kind of like me saying your designs stink, having never seen any. Get real, your license really doesn't mean crap unless you have some talent. You'll starve to death. There is nothing wrong to design within a budget and not do what I would like to see b/c I'm god. You'll get more clients that way.
