BTW, the drawing does not seem to meet the IRC code of 10" min tread depth at walkline, 3/8" tread depth variation and 6" min tread depth on inside edge. R311.7.5.2.1 Winder treads. Winder treads shall have a tread depth of not less than 10 inches (254 mm) measured between the vertical planes of the foremost projection of adjacent treads at the intersections with the walkline. Winder treads shall have a tread depth of not less than 6 inches (152 mm) at any point within the clear width of the stair. Within any flight of stairs, the largest winder tread depth at the walkline shall not exceed the smallest winder tread by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Consistently shaped winders at the walkline shall be allowed within the same flight of stairs as rectangular treads and shall not be required to be within 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) of the rectangular tread depth.

Is there any way or trick to create a electrical light fixture with a point light where the point light location is outside of the stretch planes and will move with the light fixture as it is resized? Think of a pendant light where the only stretch planes are in the stem so the light shade can be raised and lowered.

I leave the sheathing as 7/16" and make the housewrap 1/16". This better reflects true life and makes most wall thicknesses "even" numbers.

... or pedestrian door if you are PC.

Still need a few more layers!

Yes.

Thanks Michael! Not just for this one, but for all you do for others (including me) on this forum! Best Wishes, Charles

Attach plan.

I can help you. Please, send me your email. Regards, Charles

Thank you Scott. Very helpful and motivating me to get organized on Style Palettes. Here is a LINK to a video of the workshop for all who want to take a look. (Disconnected toward the end.)

Read Michael's post. He nailed it.

Good one! Michael

I can help you. Give me a call at 210 744-7489. Thanks.

Howdy Daniel, I am right here! Call me!

Yeppers, turn your window layer on in the elevation camera.

Howdy Simon, Are you using Chrome? I can get it to work on Internet Explorer but not Chrome. In Chrome, there is a handy extension called "Video Speed Controller" that works great and has programmable hot keys to boot.

To turn off/on: Preferences> Edit> Selection> Show Start and End Indicators. Shows the start and end points of a selected wall or the selected edge of a CAD-based object. This can make it easier to edit the selected edge in the object’s specification dialog. Size of indicators is controlled by Preferences> Appearance> Minimum Display Size> Labels.

Fabulous design Dave! I love it!

Maybe backup your camera away from the wall in question.

Dave has some on his website www.ChiefTutor.com.

Just make your "Top Height Reference" the "Top Tread" elevation and set the "Top Height" equal to the floor elevation.

I like to have links via highlighted labels vs. URL addresses. So I use Adobe.

I started putting hyperlinks in my PDF plans (via Acrobat) to Chief Architect's 3D viewer.
