DRAWZILLA

I keep my template plans and layouts in my X6 folder so when I come across something not just right, I just open them and fix and re-save for any new jobs. It would be nice if Chief had a "Make default" for everything that would automatically go to your templates

All of my main details are already in the layout, Done. All the others are in the lib. I just modify a detail as needed and I have many to choose from. Very rarely do I ever draw a cad detail as I have just about every condition already available to me. Nothing like a lib that has just about everything you need, but it takes years to get it just right.

You can make the basement floor 1 and go up from there. then no problem. this method also will give you a foundation plan.

Turn off soffits in the roof DBX. The sub fascia controls the eave overhang if soffits are on. No sure if that's whats going on with you though.

If I have to rotate a plan, I just rotate in the layout--not the plan.

The good thing about copy / paste method is that the layer comes with it.

You can also control the showing of window labels for each window in the window DBX--label tab

Check your mouse for an updated driver or low batteries

I also add S.C. for solid core to the door label.

Some rooms might have a ceiling and a floor above, that's why we have this, no matter what floor its on, like a garage with a second floor over part of the room. The 1 story portion of the room will have ceiling joists.

Yes there is a bug, when you uncheck "Obscure glass in vector views" in the 3d DBX ,it should do it. It works for glass doors

Textures and patterns are two different things you must adjust both as needed ,they don't work together and are not connected at all.

Yes, one way is to make the door a slab type and use hidden hinges and make the door the same material as the walls and remove all hardware. You can use a molding p-line as the base on the door and call it a push open door. also set the jamb to 0"

Don't use a room wall material as the inside of the glass also get painted with that material, always has, use a wall material region instead.

Yes, it's already in the room DBX, look there. As for permanent changes ,other than a template plan, there is no way to change them permanently

Lot of railings will also slow it down, especially if they have round balusters. if so just make them square until your ready for views or turn them off until you need them

Thanks, I didn't know that, wouldn't that be 22", that would really screw with trusses at 24" o.c. I'll never get into any attic, headroom problems and I'm to old to do it. I have my contractors do it and take pic's also. I'd break the client's ladder or chair.

No ladder for me

They don't have to, the filters are in the ceiling. for easy changing

Joe, if I did any jobs in freezing climate's, I would also do that, but I don't, and builders around here just don't want to use the space for utilities

Here in California we almost now exclusively install the FAU/ in the attic space. For some reason Spray foam insulation is not used at all. I tried a few years ago and the foam company couldn't get state approval here, so we just put in the fiberglass batts

I think the "x" is actually the plenum portion of the FAU.

There are others, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I know I turned this one in a long time ago.

for one, Take a wall elevation of a Cabnet and try to change the countertop to 100, it just doesn't do it.

Look like some kind of ceiling to me. Make it an open below room.
