You will save your sanity by paying either Chief or one of the others who advertise on this forum for 2 or 3 hours of individualized training. Possibly only one hour to get you up and running on the critical path for your CAD detail drafting. I am not sure what type of object your "slab" is in that image. If you are drawing 2d details, that object would want to be a polyline with fill.

I recently had a contractor put a 5' door where the plans had called out 6068. I asked him if the door was 5'8 high also? Honestly, it is a lack of construction education in the U.S..

By the term "template" do you mean "legend", as in, this is a chart of different graphic symbols? Those are all just polylines with different fill patterns.

I am not sure how it works on the MAC but you should be able to use x17 and then close it out and jump back on to x16.

See if this is what you are after. I did this quickly to spit out a tabulated list for some site area calculations. I did not refine this and you could easily lose the labels and use the names of the individual areas (renaming the headings). I did not try to copy these polylines into a new plan yet but I suspect they would retain the schedule association. RIC As Built V1p.zip

There is a webinar on introducing X17 on May 1. Based on that, they are likely to release the full version either that day or close to it one direction or the other

A birds eye view tend to work better with the orthographic full overview. I try to position them at about 30 deg for a true isometric.

Ohh, now I remember. I add +2" to No Change and then scream an expletive.

I am not answering and more questions before I can speak with counsel.

Have you explored making this one mass rather than 3 dormers?

Block, raise, unblock.

This looks like a really dangerous stair layout. I would not do this. Also, these three risers likely kick in the need for a handrail. Will you have handrail on each opposite side? My suggestion is to design away from this configuration.

In WUI areas I have not been asked for a one hour wall assembly unless the fire code demanded it for buildings inside of 10' separation. It seems like the exterior siding material having a WUI approval should be sufficient. I am very quick to shoot these questions to the AHJ. 3 things happen when I ask a question of the AHJ (building official) 1. I get the answer that covers my butt (and it almost always the correct answer) 2. I endear myself to the building official through being respectful of their authority and knowledge 3. I generally learn the thing and maybe some more via the answer

I would download that symbol, but I may run for public office one day and don't want to have to explain that in my browser history.

Can the Aussies chime in on this? Which direction does it scroll down there?

I have used Benjamin Obdyke Slicker for wall rain screen. Easy to order direct through them. The products are very good. I have also used the Hydro gap product on a few projects. That WRB is great if you are not using a full peel and stick or liquid flash product.

I just spoke with a tech at Benjamin Obdyke. Both the Vapordry SA and the Cedar Breather products are class A rated. The documentation for Vapordry is forthcoming but it just passed the class A rating. https://benjaminobdyke.com/product-systems/system-metal-roof/

It depends on the nature of your business and how you are trying to present yourself. Looking at a floor plan presented in Fine Homebuilding has a very casual look as opposed to in a publication like Arch Daily where they are very clean black an white floor plan images.

I am going to look into this as I have a similar situation. I am doing a double roof system on my current project. The first sheathing layer is Zip and then 2x4's on edge to get my overhang and fill that cavity with closed cell spray foam. Metal standing seam over the top of the next sheathing layer.

Would Denseshield work? I am not speaking from experience but seems like the right type of product.

Great, now I am hungry.
