  1. Learn something new everyday. I have never been asked for a UL listed wall, just fire-rated.
  2. Never seen a "UL" listing for an as built in the field wall, these listing are usually for manufactured items and shipped to the field, like a metal fireplace. Fire rating ,yes. Some pre-manufactured walls might have one though
  3. For me if trusses are required I just set up all ceiling and roof framing to 2x4 mostly, I then add a note to the sections that, the trusses are designed by others and will add the new truss plan, by the manufacturer to the plans I draw
  4. Around here ---no permit means you could lose your license if caught.
  5. No permits--what's that? never heard of that animal.
  6. . A lot of times we actually have to cut them also. When doing remodeling plans we have to show the existing trusses and how they tie into the conventional framing. Do very many of those and have for 40+ years.
  7. Some cities have wanted me to enlarge that cad block, in which it's very easy to do. Just re-do the cad block, the text is just too small, save it to your lib. for future use.
  8. every one of my builder clients do not have any flooring under the cabinets, they might fill in under the DW or range but never under the cabinets. They are in the business to make money though. and build as less expensive as possible. If it's not on the plans , it won't happen.
  9. Really, I never want to change to metric at this point, over my cold dead body. would you rather change to feet and inches and it will never happen as long as they teach Imperial here in every school.
  10. I also updated my video card to the latest without any problems.
  11. .try to turn off lights that are not in the scene. get the best processer you can afford
  12. I have done a few but I don't like the software for room planner ,no consideration for the exterior lot and I must take out my paper to do that, no problems using the laser though. Even if we could just draw lines easily for exterior and lot lines that would be better.
  13. What I would like to know is, what new features will that give us.
  14. Yep, i.m just saying it works great with room planner why not Chief.
  15. I don't need to do any of that on my Apple iPad. , it works automatically.
  16. a few versions ago Chief changed that on purpose so the software will be faster, like I said in an earlier post.
  17. of course it isn't, do you use the print preview in the print DBX.
  18. Thanks Dave, that's why I don't see it as I always keep everything live
  19. oh, I care, just never see that but My 40+ years of drawing have been exclusively in residential, and have had some pretty big jobs.
  20. Yes all of them display correctly, but I really never think of it b/c they all come out great.
  21. Is everyone sure that it's not the automatic blurring Chief does on purpose to make your drawing experience faster but when you print it , it's crisp as heck.? I never have that problem.
  22. still don't see a problem yet. Which version did you draw this in? Maybe zoom in closer
  23. I see shadows there, they just need to be darkened a bit.
