Is this the problem?

Thanks for posting that. As Eric said, you only need to include the plan file in most cases. I suggested the backup route to make sure the file was unlinked from the open file lock that CA puts on a file while open in the CA editor. Now for a couple of questions. 1) What is the specific problem that you are experiencing? 2) Is there a flat ceiling over the porch or is it cathedral? 3) Is the architectural beam and truss structure part of the problem?

Could you repost the plan? It seems that the file is not complete. Try using the backup tool to create a zip file and then upload that.

I would think that the main problem with a mechanical room off the bedroom would be the operating cycle of the equipment disturbing sleep. There is no building code prohibiting that location that I am aware of. If diligent design work is done on improving the sound transmission index, it should work if there is no other reasonable location solution.

It would be helpful if you posted the plan file.

Unfortunately you may have to update your software. The difference between x10 and x12 is well worth it.

And Eric knocks it out of the park! I was just about to suggest that when I read your reply.

Please post the plan file.

Nice touches Eric!

Ok I will have a look at that as well. Thanks Michael.

OK guys. Arrrgggg what the heck is wrong with the libraries. I did what you suggested and updated my library and there it was!!! My CA must have Covid-19 Doug

Joe, Would I have posted this if I hadn't already looked in the library? Doug

Does anyone have a symbol of this style of tub? Doing a drawing for a renovation and they have one of these that I need to include in the interior design drawings.

For chimneys I have a one layer brick wall. Simple yet so effective.

Joe, I would really like that macro. Please see my pm to you. Doug

Also consider ceiling planes. They are very useful for a negatively sloped wall.

Wilson, I have no idea if this will fix your problem or not. This happened when I was using X11 and here was the answer from tech support. I thought it was fixed, so your problem may be unrelated. Doug Doug Norton Tuesday, Jul 16, 2019 - 09:06 AM PDT When inserting a wall schedule a strange vertical line appears when including 2d symbols for a default 8" concrete stem wall. How can I fix this? Support Answer - Grant Swenson Wednesday, Jul 17, 2019 - 02:02 PM PDT Doug, Our development team is still looking into how to properly correct the issue. However, we have found that if you turn off Slabs in your layer Display Options, the line will no longer appear in your schedule. Keep it mind that turning off the Slabs display in that layer set will also have it not show up in any other views using that layer set. Grant Chief Architect Technical Support

The advantage of using auto build for roofs is that it gets all the base lines in place, and the facia heights aligned. Pitch and intersections can always be easily changed to get what you want. Sometimes intersections are a bit of a problem, but with a little work it can all be readily solved. The auto build is, from my experience, always a great place to start.

Mike You're are entirely welcome. it was a fun exercise anyway. Glad the answer was found for the problem. Doug

Thanks for that Ken and Michael. Good to know. Doug

Not sure if I have captured the problem because I couldn't reproduce it, but I took a swing at answering a possible cause.

Hi Ken, Where is your part of the country? I have seen it done this way in our locality here in Ontario Canada, and it is called a ladder outlook system. The inspectors are cautious about it because to resist vertical loading past the gable it relies upon the pull-out strength of nails resisting shear loads. I think they make the builders install gang nail plates at the gable joint. Do you have uplift problems with wind loading with this construction method?

Not anymore. Windows 10 is a paid upgrade. However, there may be a back door https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/ Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended in four years ago, right? Not exactly. It's September 2020 and my readers report that you can still use Microsoft's free upgrade tools to install Windows 10 on an old PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. No product key is required, and the digital license says you're activated and ready to go.

If there is no ceiling, the balloon through option frames from the floor plate through where the normal ceiling plate would be to the under side of the roof framing.
