Powder and Mud Room won't appear in Room Schedule
CharlesVolz replied to mholley's topic in General Q & A
Look here: -
It looks like you moved the wall AND the roof plane edge. If the roof plane covers the wall, you will not have that problem. This fix may not be how you prefer to fix it. It is just one way. Best, Charles
-
Or (Option 2), cover that wall with this roof plane...

Similar here. Currently on a desktop PC with and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. I have a new desktop PC in the box waiting for me with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070.

For Residential Design: Use Arch D if at all possible. Use match lines before using a larger sheet size when practical. Always keep 1/4" scale for floor plans. (Elevation can be 3/16" scale as necessary.) Give plumbers dimensions from edge of foundation to plumbing wall main layer on plumbing side (from 2 foundation edges that are 90° to each other).

TRUSS HEEL HEIGHT not showing even after I rebuild the roof.
CharlesVolz replied to cjanderson66's topic in General Q & A
That was all I was saying with: "3. For a 12" heel height, you would make that number 12", not raise the roof 12"." Best, Charles- 11 replies

What would constitute a "work product" from CA project?
CharlesVolz replied to telligence's topic in General Q & A
No one can answer that accurately. It can mean different things and needs to be defined for each use. That term should be clearly defined in your written agreement. It could mean anything that you want it to. But when it is not defined clearly, you are asking for an argument that is not necessary. Read your contract carefully. It should always be defined there. If it is a poorly written contract, fix it. -

CharlesVolz replied to cjanderson66's topic in General Q & A
1. The bottom of the bottom cord IS the rough ceiling (just like a ceiling joist) and it is always on the top plate. 2. Gene's image below shows the minimum heel height. 3. For a 12" heel height, you would make that number 12", not raise the roof 12". 4. The easiest way to do this regularly, like most things, is to set up your defaults correctly before you build your roof planes (including ceiling heights and roof structures).- 11 replies

Wow, how different AI makes renderings!
CharlesVolz replied to DustinCourtright's topic in Tips & Techniques
What do y'all think is the best AI for now to do CA 3d renderings without too much fuss? What is the starting point and what kind of prompts? I am just starting to play with AI and it is very exciting. Best, Charles -
Changing dimension "points" on plumbing items?
CharlesVolz replied to madcowscarnival's topic in General Q & A
I show a measurement from the outside edge of the slab to the near main layer of plumbing wall, in two directions. So a plumber can easily locate the drain from there. This prevents a plumber from having to add several measurements on the jobsite, misreading where those measurements start and end, etc. Also, if the plumbing wall is drywall and gets changed to backerboard, thinset, tile, etc., your dimensions are still good. Symbols cannot be trusted to represent the actual product. Also, tubs and showers are placed up against the main (framing) layer of a wall. So the center of the exposed part is different than the symbol's center. -
Engineers are licensed by each state. What state is the project in?

Try Googling T1-11 siding.

Most of my jobs are 100% LED. With the adjustable color and competitive cost, it is a no-brainer. Some geographical areas will probably have a rebate program due to the lower power consumption.

Suggestions: Share your plan. Make sure your layers are not locked. Share your plan. Charles
