How to calculate square footage?
CharlesVolz replied to heidistokoe's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
This is what I use. Numero Uno for residential. ANSI Z765-2021 - SQUARE FOOTAGE.pdf -
This way may be easier to measure the existing stairs close enough in the field. I am still assuming that the stairs curve along a single arc as shown. It is using the Intersecting Chords Theorem which says that the product of the lengths of the segments of any two intersecting chords is equal. When you use perpendicular chords you can measure A, B & C close enough and calculate D and thus the radius of the existing stairs.
-
Sounds like to me you need the radius and the tangent (angle) somewhere along the curve (or arc). Just call me so we can chat.
-
If the existing is truly is a radius, i.e., is a single arc then do this, then measure from the center point to the staircase to get the radius. Once you have that, I usually draw CAD line in CA to snap to with the stairs.

HOW TO DO A REVEAL BETWEEN BASE BOART AND THE SHEET ROCK?
CharlesVolz replied to Sandor09's topic in Tips & Techniques
Post your plan! Otherwise we are all guessing. Guesses: You did not apply that molding to the wall of your 3D view. You did not use black material for the reveal molding and white for the base molding. Best, Charles -
HOW TO DO A REVEAL BETWEEN BASE BOART AND THE SHEET ROCK?
CharlesVolz replied to Sandor09's topic in Tips & Techniques
The easiest way that I have found is to use room moldings. Easy to apply to a whole floor, a room and/or eliminate on walls as desired with CA's room molding control. I used the air gap material at first but prefer the look of just black color. Use moldings set 1/32 to 1/16 proud to inside of wall face to avoid 3D "Z-fighting". -
You are welcome! Glad to help!

Yes, just add a second floor. Timber frame1259140725_Brook CV1.zip Sometimes I will add additional floors to control the bottom of the clerestory walls separately from the first floor. So, the clerestory walls will be on the 3rd floor. The 2nd floor would be used for any loft or attic storage above the first floor. Like this:

Howdy Rob, I would use horizontal exposed structural beams across the opening and horizontal ceiling planes before and beyond. (If customer would let me,) I would like the look and feel much better. Best, Charles

From Help: You can control what displays in the footprint using the Layer Display Options dialog.

Use wider wall or 3D solid if you do not want to mess with that. Oops. Steve snuck in there...I didn't see you coming...

This or this Or custom.

Howdy Rob, Look here in your elec symbols DBX:

I use a 1/2"x1/2" molding in the room molding settings and set it to "black" or "no material". Black is my usual preference. This is the easiest way I found.

If you want definitive answers, post the plan. Otherwise it is just a political novel.

Please post the plan so we can all play along. I love a good mystery.

Use one door the width of those two.

Toolbars also a problem when using multiple monitors with different resolutions. I have not seen a post on that fix either.

Also can use molding polylines set 1/32 to outside of wall face. Use black (my preference) or airgap material. I suggest using an exterior room molding polyline (one polyline with multiple stacked rectangular-shaped moldings) to keep the molding(s) out of the way while working.
