Also along with other suggestions, I find that the nVidea studio version of the graphics driver works better for CA than the gaming version.

Just for those who are interested in what the building code is in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, here are reference copies of the Ontario Building Code. 2024 OBC.Volume 1.January 16 2025.pdf 2024 OBC.Volume 2.January 16 2025.pdf The Ontario Building Code is based upon the Canadian National Building Code, with additions and modifications specific to the province. Volume 2 is additional clarification and prescribed solutions to the code as well as climatic and seismic data.

Export the plan file to remove all textures etc.. That file should be uploadable.

This is a view of the adjusted grade. Mark's comments are on point as well.

It seems that the floor levels are sort of confusing. Why is the entrance lower than the garage floor?

I can't tell you how long I looked at that DBX when working on this but it was greyed out. Of course it was, I had to highlight the macro to enable it! (smacks forehead) Thanks Gerard!!

Hi Alan, Thought I would take a stab at extending the schedule a bit, but the metric area column is not totaling. Any thoughts? dn-areascheduletableexample.plan

I noticed that you are running with CA X-14 and unfortunately that is no longer on my computer. Here are the steps to do what you are asking. To change the wall thickness 1 break the Internal 4" wall at the wall junction 2 select and change the wall type after the break to Internal 6 To make a wall that is against another wall 1 Create a new wall type called Furred 4" (you can use any name that is meaningful for you) 2 Delete the drywall layer that is going to be against the other wall 3 Add an air gap that separates the two walls (not necessary everywhere, but may be required by code in some jurisdictions) 4 Draw a section of the wall away from any other wall. 5 Change the structural setting from split framing to Furred 6 Move the wall against the exterior wall. This leaves the drywall in the interior of the external wall, but for most purposes that works for most drawings.
