DRAWZILLA

you can change your gable sub-fascia to 1/16 to move the wall up also

Yes keep it live , because we all have changes down the road, and using cad means you will have to re-do all that cad work.

That's why we in Cali. have to install Always on fans to create a negative air pressure , so everyone won't get sick.. every time you open a front door or window, fresh air from the outside is suppose to rush in.. Well--at least you hope it's fresh air..

Sure but it's not automatic, draw your foundation using the foundation walls you need ,on level 0, then when you are done just copy those foundation walls you just did to level 1 and change those wall to what you want. foundation walls are just walls with rooms just like a floor plan

ok, but I wasn't talking about PBR, i was talking about the Opaque option for windows

That option was also in X9

Could also be a roof plane line that is not straight, just off a little

You could also put a roof on it.

A Lot of people here use Dropbox for their job files and the Chief data files. You then just need to open any file from the Dropbox folder and draw away. Because you put the data file there also all your materials are automatically there too.

Just maybe it's a new feature, something we could have used 30 years ago.

You might try to Clear the printer info also. It located in the file/ print/ clear printer info.

I would also stay away from these also although they have gotten better lately, but there have been problems in the past. NVidia is all I have ever used without any problems

Believe me David, it was added years ago.

I wouldn't get a Quadro card if my life depended on it for Chief.

I don't understand why this isn't part of the roof tools, we have talked about this for many years and it pretty standard for roofs.

Also some cities just don't understand the energy codes enough to apply them yet, even though I've been doing them for 30 years. It used to be a lot simpler back in the day.

All I know is the cities around here accept my calc.s using 2x4 with r-15, at least the last 100 projects without any problems. Maybe they don't know yet and the calres program approves it and Calcerts also approves it.

Looks normal to me also.

Not for me, but if you use a computer program , you can trade off less in the walls for beefing up other areas of the project, this method has no defaults like the prescriptive methods. Here we have climate zones from 4 to 12 and I have never had to put anything other than r-15 in the walls.

BTW--Your area could be much different than mine by climate zone so you may have to include exterior rigid insulation.

I never use any r-6 exterior wrap, just r-15 cavity wall insul.. If you use a computer program for compliance , you can trade off values to get it to work. There is a Chief guy here that prepares title 24 energy calc's at a really good price. Barry Hanes-- I use to do my own but I now would rather spend my time drawing. His e-mail is barry.hanes@hanesconstruction.com .

Even though there is no default, after you place it , you can select it and change the hatching. to select all wall hatching, just hold down the shift key while the wall hatching is active , draw a box around all the floor plan to select all hatching in the plan.

Tommy, that's some fireplace you got going on there. I'll bet that took some time to do.

I think what's happening is ,Prices just go up, haven't seen prices that go down and we all have to pass it along to the client as everyone else does.

not sure, but I use the NVidia control panel and adjust those settings for my video card. and always update the drivers. Also not sure what video card Bill has.
