DRAWZILLA

From a cad detail--it lets you scale it. / from the lib.--no scaling, just insert it, grab a corner, make it the size you want and re-save to the lib.

looked at those roof planes and they are cutting at the eaves for me.

Shouldn't have to do that though. BTW, I opened your plan in X9 and it looks fine without doing anything.

The sub-fascia controls the depth of the exposed overhang rafter area but does not control the ridges and hips ( ridges and hips are really just ridges in the DBX). This in my mind is wrong of Chief to lump them all into one item called ridges. They should be separate. For me, they are not the same sizes most of the time. Ridges and hip are structural and a 2x just won't work. Just make your rafters a 2x6 and ridge a 2x12 and you will see that they don't clip on the outside or the inside, they will show up in the camera views, inside and out. So to fix that for the camera views I have to make my ridges to match the rafters. Of course, we all know it's not built that way. Pleas Chief give us control of the ridges and hips to have separate control for each one. I have asked for a lot of years now.

wow, nice lot, if I lived there ,I wouldn't need to work , I could hunt for food.

Nice Dermot, but who would have thought the Use Enhanced lighting was in anyway connected to the reflections.

Maybe the mirror material is different in X9 than X8. I know when Chief started the new reflection tool I couldn't use the old mirror material. You might be using an old material, try to choose a mirror material from the lib. BTW, your plan reflects good in X9 for me

Very good videos for anyone having problems getting it to work, nice job. You might also want to send these in to Bug Central . They might not see these. I love the way you dig deep in your videos.

here is a short video of the problem I see

24" deep also here, min ,unless you have a soils report then sometimes you can go 18" deep. Post tension slabs are even less than that.

open each camera view DBX, first page. Select a camera view on the layout, open it, open the property's DBX

put a roof on it to block the light, see if that works

My comment has nothing to do with the monitors, it's about camera views sent to the layout, always update might just use the resources you need to draw with. On demand means the views will only update when you ask it to. No resources used in the background while you are drawing.

if you have the plan and layout open at the same time , you could turn off the camera view option to always update, and change to on demand.

mine says 4095 when I actually have 6 gb

They won't allow window treatments as a solution around here

that used to be a problem, in past versions, but I'm not getting it now.

Staples does.

A scoop footing is just a thickness, like a footing but smaller. I usually make mine 8" x 8" deep. Enough to allow some connection rebar's to connect good, and have the required edge distance. Here, slab edge insulation is required also but nobody does it. If you use a computer method for your energy calculation's , you can eliminate the slab edge insulation by tradeing off and making it better in other areas. Not sure how it is in Oregon.

The problem is that not everyone knows this( not in the manual) and could spend days trying to figure it out. Unless, of course, they follow your YouTube channel.

For many years now when you place a mono slab next to a stem wall, the stem wall will lower itself to the slab level, this has been a bug for many years now and IMO should be fixed. I have put in many bug requests. To fix this , you need to draw your slab manually and place a small scoop footing next to the stem wall, main layer to main layer. The stem wall will go back up to the correct level.

it's also in the DBX of that item you select.

It's always been a planning issue around here. Those cities that wish to adopt it add it to the city ord's.

it's in some of the city ordinances, and California has come up with their own codes.

Scott, you are the king of the workarounds, and getting something hard to work. Your video's ( and I have seen all of them) are a testament to what Chief can actually do and not in the help section, or the manual. Knowing that stuff is everything in getting your model to near perfect in my book. It's above and beyond. After viewing Dave or Dan's videos, try Scotts for above and beyond what the others put out. I know I have learned a ton of that. I like them all.
