  1. For me , when I opened it a few materials weren't there, I forgot to look and see what they were, I'll check again
  2. just uncheck use default ceiling material and no z-fighting for me
  3. I have siding vertical for the rafters, and some kind of green fascia for the ceiling plane rafters.
  4. Those are always a problem, I just use a p-solid to cover it in section view.
  5. You may have painted your rafters / ceiling joists, try using default material. Then you can change it.
  6. Hey Ron. Are you and Jim from Florida brothers, you look like it. The troll brothers
  7. I'm not sure windows 8 even has a blue screen, it just crashed Chief ,but I had to restart my computer to get it back.
  8. Did it to me also today and I just had to restart my computer to fix it. It said file was locked.
  9. yes, as long as soffits are checked, if you don't want soffits make them an air space material.
  10. For me its better to lower the top plate to get a full bearing than to chop up the rafter, kind of what his picture show's when using a 2x10 or 12. I've been called on that before. 2x12 to a 2x4 eave is just too much mustard off the hotdog.
  11. Hey, Glen vacations, not me.
  12. HEY Brian, Are you close by? what city? Yes, you now need more forms, but calc's are not needed for window change-outs, just the prescriptive method (forms) are ok at least around here.
  13. I actually like Windows 8 and having a lot of fun with it. I'm not afraid of moving on.
  14. We do get the big bucks here, but is it really worth the pounding you take every day ?????? I get enough pounding from my wife, do I really need more.
  15. H.S. and College in Orange county California and Pro in Europe (Holland) in the early 70's
  16. Check your interior wall connections. I don't see any plan attached.
  17. In college we had a double post in basketball
  18. I just keep a ton in my template plan so they are already there when I start a new plan and they are already sent to the layout
  19. Here are some energy notes I put on every plan, calc's or not, seems to work around here.
  20. Scott- No floor space and no volume add- no calc's required, but you must still follow all mandatory measures and min u- value and SHGC. Of course the building official can do anything they want. Then you can fight it by having them call the Calif. Energy Comm. hotline 1-800-772-3300. If you have any questions, they will always have the correct answer. Give them a call as things are changing every day b/c not everyone is up to date on the code including myself. As you know I stopped doing them to free myself up and really haven't learned the new program yet. Your deal really doesn't make since to me at all.
