  1. Hey, what happened to the O.P. so we can find out for sure.
  2. not that I needed to replace every 5 years, I just wanted faster parts.
  3. I have used Alienware for 15 years now , never had any problems but you do need a new one about every 5 years and sometimes you can last longer with changing out a few parts.
  4. Around here edges of shear walls require a 4x4 post or 4x6 if 2x6 studs, even in the corners. I add them manually.
  5. All I know is that Chief has needed to work on framing for a long time now, it's time for X10 please.
  6. Scott, here is a pdf of the patterns Chief has. Fill Hatch Patterns Cheat Sheets.pdf
  7. I think you need to show a pic. of it for anyone to make since of it.
  8. I think if you block the framing it will stay unless they changed something recently.
  9. use the electric schedule, it will only include what you use in the plan, and you can comment and change any label you want. Works great
  10. Thanks Joe, forgot about that as I never include the size anyway.
  11. yes, don't use the swing side in the schedule, just delete that option.
  12. I use the grayscale to make your elevations pop, lines are black and at a specific lineweight , roof lines are lighter depending on what color or grayish they are. walls are around a 50 lineweight so they are thicker. All done with anno-sets automatically.
  13. room planner doesn't have that either, wouldn't that be nice.
  14. Right now some cities around here are requiring a digital "PDF"copy of the plans on a thumb drive or no permit will be issued.
  15. Around here topo maps/ grading plans run about 15 grand so I don't get them with every job, only the projects that really need them.
  16. "PNG" files have transparency, try converting it.
  17. You can also set the stairs as winders and use invisible walls to the sides. The stairs will expand to those invisible walls.
  18. also if you place trusses, the process will automatically delete the conventional framing.
  19. I could never draw from my phone. Hope its not going that way
