DRAWZILLA

you could also try a new mirror material, some older ones don't work

You will need to get that info from Chief, I don't think the people doing testing can talk, but what do I know.

You might try to turn reflections on in the camera DBX, what version are you using?, it makes a difference.

You should be able to select each footing / wall and adjust the footing depth from that DBX. After all footings are just walls with footings and create rooms .

So , if you follow those standards, would that make me an Architect. over 4000 projects, 42 years in this business, permits on every project obtained, All in California, the toughest area of the world for regulations.?

I heard it was quite leaky and poorly done

well good luck with all that, but I read the opposite everywhere in California, real estate is in a bubble right now and waiting to burst. Hope your right.

Yep it looks like no room definition somewhere to me also. check your wall connections.

And don't forget about the next crash which is coming, no matter how you look at it. Buy low sell high has its merits. IMO ,right now is not the time to buy in California..

ok so we all agree he was a draftsman- designer and quite good at it. and maybe not.

You could always simply just turn off framing rafters in that camera view unless you need to see the rafters.

I would say if you need that kind of detail , upgrade to Premier and do it all

of course someone would have to see the plans to make that judgement but its kind of like the lower part of a retaining wall usually is a much thicker block and more rebar than the upper level, maybe in this case it's just not enough weight or lateral loads to require more rebar.. Call the engineer of record from the building permit and ash them to make you feel better about it.

I don't think a lot of people are doing it yet, for me 3d and 360 views and making a video to send to the client are better.

around here every GFCI must be labeled but not AFCI. Every exterior outlet must also be GFCI and WP.

Sometimes when you actually print to PDF, those lines will go away

Like Jon says, You can create any rafter tail you want using "rafter tails and adjusting the roof DBX how you want it. It's hard to tell you exactly how to do it without a picture.

In the layout, turn off "layout box borders". for the dimensions just make the layout box larger by dragging it and put the dim's outside the cabinets

Around here people buy those large tract homes ,1.5 mill+, and call me out to add to them before they even move in. I've done 4 of those this year. One job we gutted most of the house and replaced with better.

I will sometimes put that plat map on my plan and trace the street as close as you can. them work out the lots one at a time using their info.. Not perfect but you can only make your plan with the info you gat or tell the client you need the exact info.

I also show the 2nd floor exterior walls on the 1st floor using a reference set.

LIKE WHAT?

for me the 2nd floor framing is always shown on the 1st floor, how else would you show posts to beams and floor beams.

Johnny, you have broken the rule about designers vs. Architecture, no one ever wins or loses this argument. this has been around this forum forever and believe me it's a lost cause. I have seen many many people without any formal education do just fine in this business. Hell I remember when they gave away Architects licenses and all you had to do was sign your name.. I think they wanted more members. Who knows what's right and wrong, I think there are enough projects to go around for everyone.

You know , you do have to re-link the plans when you move them
