  1. 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?
  2. Sometimes "split lower wall" etc doesn't work every time for me and I also have to check "pony wall"
  3. 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.
  4. I always start out using the Auto build roofs, then turn it off and go from there.
  5. Thanks, Scott, another in depth study. Informative for sure
  6. I have noticed that a lot of guys saying there is a slowdown are using Xeon processors, not saying that's it , just strange.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. Raise the roof planes or ceiling planes to what you want, no craziness here, its all in the setup.
  13. It looks to me like it just drips off the side, you can see the roofing extend over the fascia.
  14. 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
  15. I'd open a "Go fund me " account for your Diagnosis.
  16. The longer you wait, the more the learning curve is. X7 will be coming early next year also
  17. You might find someone using a Mac and ask them, Like Scott Hall.
  18. If you happen to use this with a min 3' min. wide stairs, it would not pass the codes here also.
  19. lEW Multi main layers in walls was added to have clean wall connection, but framing of 2 walls was never a part of that.
  20. You can also create a phantom floor 2 for that space, so the bath would be on the 3rd floor. You can also adjust the floor definition to have an air space but you then need to add some cad to the sections for the wall, that is if you don't need to show any 3d framing and don't use the material list for your plans.
  21. Right now Chief will only frame one wall in a 2 wall single wall, but slide 2 walls together then both walls will frame.
