The jokester is at it again.

If you use the SAM method, it's already there for you.

Manually, conventional framed areas will not build over or under a truss roof automatically. Even the overhang won't frame where the 1st floor is trusses and the 2nd is stick build. trusses below causes it not to frame.

I have heard of lots of others using Chief on the surface

which NVidia card like gtx780 or ?

Nice thought, Nessie, but we in the remodeling business usually have lots of changes both before and after permits, I really don't want to re-do those roofs all day long. We usually can't lock anything until it done being built b/c if there is a change from the permitted plan, the cities want you to re-submit the change before continuing with the build. Just the kind of crap we go thru.
-
And as we all know you cannot frame a conventional overbuild over trusses unless you do it manually. Wish Chief would fix that.

so Glen are Michael video's wrong or not?

I use live updates for prelims and switch to on demand for final drawings b/c sometimes, ( don't know why) some don't update always, when I have both the plan and layout open all the time. If I close the plan ,and re-open, the layout always updates.

That 96 dpi number is from your printer, set it higher in the printer settings, just s guess at it.
-
Just ray trace it, I can do ray traces in a couple of minutes. other than that your out of luck.
-
so doesn't your view show it, looks like it to me.
-
Don't know, looks like it did give the vault to me, I must not understand what you are asking, maybe framing is turned off in that wall elevation

Cabinet automatic_label - what's the source
DRAWZILLA replied to Joe_Carrick's topic in General Q & A
We had a meeting with Marc (Scott sponsored) about cabinets and Marc said they all pretty much use a different code and he has come up with a macro that covers the cabinets he uses, but any others will need their own macro. -
yes, it would be nice and needed desperately.

You can just turn off soffits for the roof planes and add a molding p- line for the soffits where ever you want them. Draw the molding you need in a section view, then apply it to the molding p-line. then draw the molding p-line in elevation view and adjust the height you need.
-
I really like using the wall elevation views , they work for me.
-
If you balloon frame that wall it will show the vault in a wall elevation view. That is how it would be built in real life.

How to lighten up the roof fill pattern for plotting
DRAWZILLA replied to capitaldesigns's topic in General Q & A
I have created several layer sets and anno-sets for everything I send to the layout, with line weights adjusted to what I want. It's all automatic. Like Glen said you can also adjust the material line weight -
I have been using an engineer for all my projects for 40 years now, no problem in California. He does do the markups and sizes and calc's including lateral . I just draw it all for him.- It's legal. He stamps his pages
-
Really shouldn't have to place a break in all you walls, seems like a waste of time. I have been just drawing a box around the outside edge and making it a thicker line ( like 55). I like that look better .
-
Maybe you have to use the edit wall intersections tool to miter the foundation wall to get that plate to follow. It really doesn't matter to me b/c it never shows in anything I show on the plan
-
Not me .looks like a shadow of some kind, I sometimes see shadows doing that
-
That's funny b/c in the previous downfall( around the early 90's) all the California guys re-located to Colorado.

Where are controls for deck posts when adding stairs?
DRAWZILLA replied to Clemsongrad's topic in General Q & A
Sometimes I have to turn off newels ( make them zero width) and just add my own. A lot of times I make the wall at the top of the stairs an invisible wall so there is no conflict with the newels.
