Yes. use "Floor Defaults"

Here are some energy notes I put on every plan, calc's or not, seems to work around here.

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.

Don't see it either.

PT slabs are usually the same as regular slab foundations, except with the tension bars, and the footings can be smaller in most cases. Are you asking how to model them?

Is auto wall framing on??

Sometimes "split lower wall" etc doesn't work every time for me and I also have to check "pony wall"

I had a pdf recently flip when printing. It looked good on the layout but when I printed to pdf, it flipped backwards. I opened the original pdf and saved it again in Adobe, then it was ok.Not sure what happened.

I always start out using the Auto build roofs, then turn it off and go from there.

Thanks, Scott, another in depth study. Informative for sure

I have noticed that a lot of guys saying there is a slowdown are using Xeon processors, not saying that's it , just strange.

I didn't have any of those problems when I migrated mine, so that could be it. I did notice it got faster the more I used it though. If you have a sata 6 then you must be screaming at this point, I only have a sata 2.

Should have got the 1tb version b/c I put everything on mine, and it was the best upgrade I ever did. You may not notice as much change b/c you already have a powerful computer where mine is 5 years old but I have put several new parts in it.

You have to use "TRANSFORM / REPLICATE" tool and move in the plus z direction, 1st select the roof planes you want to move. edit, sorry wrong post, I thought I was in your ceiling height post

I don't think so.

The floor plan view may be measuring to the surface instead of the outer studs which should line up with the foundation if you have your main layer set up correctly

Check your layer thickness's in the wall DBX . Looks like stucco but the outer material layer should be 1" ,or there about for stucco.

Raise the roof planes or ceiling planes to what you want, no craziness here, its all in the setup.

It looks to me like it just drips off the side, you can see the roofing extend over the fascia.

If I was working with your model, I would slide that symbol into the wall more leaving maybe 1 inch showing and put it on its own layer, then turn it off in plan view. I might also change the symbol to be thinner so you don't have that problem anyway. I have a window with the moldings built in to the window moldings but no keystone or angled sides, you would have to model them manually. I would do all the surrounding brick in the window molding DBX and the lintel top as a p-solid, easy to stretch for different size windows. Here is the brick surround but not exactly what you need. Not sure if it helps though. window w- brick.plan

I'd open a "Go fund me " account for your Diagnosis.

The longer you wait, the more the learning curve is. X7 will be coming early next year also

You might find someone using a Mac and ask them, Like Scott Hall.

If you happen to use this with a min 3' min. wide stairs, it would not pass the codes here also.
