Hi Andy, I noticed your request and I will be interested. I design and build on the eastern shore of Maryland and I do extend my tentacles to Baltimore area and beyond. Shoot me an email at mail@globalhomeimprovement.com. Fidel Drawings_2bdrm duplex.pdf

I totally agree with you... all nothing but greed

That socks!!

Do you still have this software available? Please reply

I am a design build contractor and very frequently work on remodeling. I really love what I do and I have been experimenting on chief architect for some time now and also geared on purchasing the software. I have also been checking ChiefTalk for some time now and I have a question regarding outright ownership after purchase. My thing is that when I buy the software, I have full ownership and I can do whatever I want with it - selling it to whoever I want to, without been controlled by CA for change in ownership and also charging a fee for the change. That is outrageous or what I will call greed.

Yep, and that was exactly what I did....using multiple copy. Thanks Drawzilla

Thanks for the quick response. I do insert joist hangers on most of my design for the sake of presenting a 3D framing view to my clients. It might not be necessary to professionals like us who are deep in the trade, but to an average Larry-Home_owner, it gives them the vision or rather an idea of what is holding the structure together.

Does CA or anymore know how to insert Simpson joist hanger on floor or ceiling joist, so also goes with hurricane straps for rafters. I was able to work on this manually (see attached) and it took a lil bit time to get the hangers in place on all floor joist. It will be great if this can be achieved in framing default setting so that the joist hangers will automatically be place in auto framing. Any suggestion will be appreciated
