  1. I always assumed it was Chiefs way of telling me to rest my eyes (on a bright white screen).
  2. For a site plan? 3d? If for 3d, search this site for "plumbing riser diagram"
  3. I usually do this with poly solids. Some subtraction and then put a hood unit inside. Generally one of the pro GE or Viking ones.
  4. Carmel by the Sea counts the building area to the outside of the siding. I believe Monterey County does as well.
  5. Thanks, I found this: (pic) But, I am unclear if the exception with fire sprinklers would allow a non 1-3/8" thick door. Like a shaker style panel door?
  6. Is it still required to have a 20 min. door with self closing hardware on an attached garage to house door? I heard that this was removed from the CRC.
  7. In regards to your sill plate gap, both side are critical nailing locations so I would rip a 2x10 to fit. Also, on the side where the hangers touch the P.T., I would put a strip of peel and stick Bituthane or Zip tape to isolate the metal from the P.T.. Even though you can get Zmax hangers, if you ask the engineers at Simpson (and they are being honest) they will tell you that nothing except stainless steel will survive P.T..
  8. Thanks for that input @Bob-Roraback Does the vapor barrier issue still apply with a conditioned crawlspace? There is a thread in the Chatroom currently regarding details and who will read them. I am hopeful to see a paradigm shift that construction documents become a true instruction set for the builders. I don't want to hijack this thread but the other thread in the Chatroom will hopefully get traction to open this discussion.
  9. Looks good. I have a few questions regarding the placement of: 1. the sill sealer sheet at the wall to joists. Why do you have that there? The batt insulation should make that connection and this is not an air barrier type of set up for that system. 2. The sill sealer below the sill plate is not standard where I have built. I would normally put that at the P.T. sill plate to concrete wall connection. Below the wall sill plate, I have been using acoustic sealant to maintain a tight air barrier. 3. I am not familiar with putting a drain pipe on the inside of the foundation walls. Is this a frost heave prevention detail?
  10. Drop the DPI to 144 and see if you get the same result?
  11. I did use that print model feature once when making a chipboard model. The guy in the office next to me just got a small laser cutter for making wood models and now I really miss having that feature.
  12. Also, on Michaels last image, change the "Locate" to "Surfaces". That will give you what you want for as built conditions.
  13. I have hot keys for standard dimensioning and for interior dimensioning. I would recommend setting up a hot key for interior dimensions (and just about everything else you use constantly).
  14. The engineer I use a lot uses Chief. Jared at JP Engineering (California based) 831-264-3217
  15. ...And the next person who calls a muntin a mullion is getting coal for xmas.
  16. A link is worth a thousand pictures ( I may not have that correct?) https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Dictionary-Architecture-Francis-Ching/dp/0470648856/ref=asc_df_0470648856/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312138007830&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2079614019782659626&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031886&hvtargid=pla-489411544698&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60258871097&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312138007830&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2079614019782659626&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031886&hvtargid=pla-489411544698
  17. I often need to push the perspective to capture enough in small spaces. I will then take the image to Lightroom to adjust for vertical.
