thanks Robert.

Does anyone have nickel-gap ship-lap they'd be willing to share? I'm not sure what the ship-lap is in the CA library but it's not the ship-lap i'm looking for. Thanks.

i made a carousel once, just for fun. or at least started one. never did get around to adding horses. kinda neat to see it spin around in camera view.

seriously considering it.

very nice! your dragonfly appears to be a Four-spotted Pennant.

Same here. Me and my crew often would frame a house and the scraps would barely fill a couple of wheelbarrows, while the crew next door would have enough scrap to fill a roll-off dumpster. And I've seen drywall hangers and bricklayers that were just as bad (or good).

yes, thanks to all!

That looks better than I ever thought it could, but I think I'd eliminate that weird floating half-gable and just hip that to match the original roof.

post the plan and someone will help you.

No, I do not use an external monitor.

I operate a Mac and have yet to encounter this problem.

As someone who has framed hundreds of homes in the last 35 years, I've probably used trusses on less than 15-20 of those. The primary reason being most were complicated, multi-pitch, cut-up, hip roofs with rooms of varying heights. Yes, I know even those type houses *can* be trussed, but if I were putting it together, I'd charge 5X versus what i would for stick-framing. Most all of the truss homes we've done had rooms with long, clear spans or cathedrals where stick-framing. just wasn't a viable alternative.

the baseline on one of your roof planes is about 18" away from the wall. to match the other plane it needs to be moved in to the wall. the issue above your lean-to is an attic wall. pull the shed roof back to meet the wall and it will disappear. also, the second floor wall on the front is misaligned with the wall on the bottom.

i get these fairly often. I either rotate the plan so as front door is facing right or print them to E-size paper.

would be best to post a plan. otherwise, it's just conjecture.

i'm not trying to pick on anyone as i'm sure it's just a regional thing, but where i'm from, everyone generally considers a footing to be the bottom part of a foundation and a footer to be a block of text at the bottom of a document.

Like KBird said...the program is doing just what you "told" it to do. I have no idea what you wanted the roof to look like, but I drew up one version and cleaned a LOT of other things in the plan. CONTI_10_IRIS_12:31:19.plan

All i want for Christmas is some stairs that work right. The end.

thanks, Chop. i replaced it with a porch beam and it worked fine. no idea why it wouldn't work with a room divider.

there is a room divider that is causing your problems. remove it and the odd circle wall disappears.

my 2017 macbook pro is doing fine. never an issue. but i haven't upgraded to Catalina either.

Thanks, David. I tried to duplicate the odd behavior in one of my own plans but was unsuccessful. However, i did discover that eliminating the outermost exterior wall layer on Bob's plan solved the problem.

I was just looking at Bob's plan and noticed the brick does not conform to the top of the windows or doors on the Logia. I've drawn plenty of arched windows and doors but I don't think i've ever seen this. Anybody have an explanation?

3.5" solid aluminum walls dragged down with windows.

I have a MacBook Pro and it works fine.
