Thanks, for now I am doing it manually; faster than trying to fix something when I am not sure what is wrong.

Will do.

oops...here it is The snipping tool is not the problem...old age is the problem!

Attached is a screen shot (file is too big to upload) of a story pole I want to adjust. I would like all of the elevation markers to appear on the right side of the vertical story pole line, I circled the culprit and would like to move it over to the other side. How do I do this? Thanks in advance

Thanks!

This plan is an addition to an existing building. For the exterior full camera overview, I do not want the existing building to show. The existing building walls are on a separate layer which is turned off. The existing walls do not show in the camera views, which is what I want. However, the floor and ceilings of the existing building do show up in the camera views. How can I hide the existing floors and ceilings in the camera views. The plan is larger than 14 MB, so it cannot be uploaded. A picture is attached Lane

That's it, thanks!

When I did the roof framing, the rafters do not extend to the sub fascia. The walls are about 24" (Granite and Brick, old castle built around 1850 on the Hudson River) but the roof baseline is where it should be at the exterior of the wall. Any suggestions how to fix this? the file is attached. Thanks in advance. Rafters.pdf 2022-05-17 Plan File.plan

Thanks!

thank you!

Thanks!

Once a floor plan, roof, windows, doors, etc is drawn, is there a way to exclude some of the walls and floors from framing when you build the framing? Thanks in advance. Lane

Thanks Allan!

When I draw a particular deck at the rear of this house, none of the framing shows up in any of the views. The railings show, but nothing else. If I draw the deck on another section of the building, everything shows up fine. What the deck am I doing wrong? My plan is attached. Thanks in advance for any assistance! 953691368_McllwainePlanFile.plan

Thanks everyone! With my extremely limited computer knowledge, looks like I need system that used the good old #2 HB pencils. A couple of erasing shields, maybe a leroy lettering set! Regards, Lane

Thanks! That's two votes for the 3070Ti or better, so that will get upgraded. The 1 or 2 TB drive seems like a good idea too. "Something is not quite right as the Intel Z690 uses Intel CPUs and you have a Ryzen CPU listed which is from AMD"....thanks for pointing this out, I have to check with HP to see why they listed it this way.

It's time to buy a new computer. This is what I am looking at: I really don't know much about computers, and I really do not want to rely on the salesman for information, so if anyone has any information about how good (or bad) this configuration is, it would certainly help and I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

This building has a cathedral ceiling with a railing on the second floor that defines a balcony area looking out into the room below. But, I can't get the gable wall to behave so that the upper portion is a full gable wall (where the wall portion is above the roof) and the lower part of the gable wall is a railing. Any help is greatly appreciated. The plan file is attached. Thanks! Mcllwaine Plan File.plan

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

In the foundation dialog box, there is the "garage floor to stem wall top" distance. Is this from the garage slab to the top of the concrete, or to the top of the sill plate, as Chief considers the top of the sill plate to be the top of the foundation wall? Another question; can the garage floor slab (or any slab for that matter) be sloped? Our normal is 2" towards the garage doors. Thanks in advance.

How do I draw a foundation wall where there will be an internal shelf which will support a 4" concrete slab.? The top of the slab will be level with the top of the wall. Kind of like a brick shelf, but on the inside of the foundation wall. The foundation walls will be 10" thick, with the required rigid R-10 under the slab. Thanks in advance, Lane

Check into "Simplified Wall Bracing" in the 2020 Code.

Do a "save as" then save the layout to a new file folder. Also do a "save as" for the plan you used to create the layout file for the details, notes, etc. I set mine as the default for all my new Arch D size prints; do it for both the layout and the plan file. Now, when you open the plan template, do a "save as" and save it into a folder that will have bot the plan file and the layout. Do the same for the layout template, making sure to save them both to the same folder. Next, open the newly named Layout file, and click on the tab where the file associations reside and change the file association to the one for the newly named plan file.
