As shown, building down with framing sounds like how I would approach it. If the glass goes all the way up to the eave then I would want the ceiling to be a continuous line out to the eave.

Give some thought to exterior doors and snow dumps. What looks like a slider at that corner will get buried in a snow dump. The snow storms in Tahoe tends to come in feet not inches. I just finished with a ski lease/winter rental there and one of the exterior doors was a constant challenge since it was exposed without an overhang (just a typical eave above). This is especially important on any doors that swing out.

Aye, Aye Matey. In other words, what Dermot is stating is that your original question amounts to Piracy. I am not saying that this is your intention but sharing the copy with two dongles is not permitted (except on the high seas, parrot optional).

With the codes in California adding so many trimmers and kings to larger spans, I think I might be putting a plan together that notes the number of trimmers and kings so this is not missed in the field. I keep a chart on the site as we start framing to get everyone up to speed. It is an easy thing to miss and then you have a short header cut. With the price of LVL today, that would be no good.

Awesome. Thanks Dustin.

If I wanted to take the color image and get a siding pattern with slightly randomized offsets like the line drawing, can Substance player make this happen? I am trying to get this sort of look: And trying to avoid this:

I don't think it has to do with your roofs. What is the room definition for your deck/balcony?

I am trying to make a single line custom muntin. It seems like I can only load in custom muntins when the cad lines cross each other. I have tried by making my CAD block with shift select and also by having two overlapping cad lines that I make a CAD block. No luck. Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks Perry.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think the added light really kicked it up. Now to work out my light bleed

Maybe it is different for the exterior view you are showing, but, I am not able to get the transparent look through to the surfaces close behind the glass. This image is rtrt pbr. Using the otb tempered glass. The glass pieces below are different distances farther away. The bottom one is almost 2" away. Any methods to get that to not turn brown?

Is there a way to make this sort of design with the railing tool or should I just suck it up and model the darn thing?

The baseline height, in framers terms, would be the Stack Height. A vertical line drawn up from the top plate to the top of the rafter on the outside of the wall. In the image "HAP"

It means your toilet is too close to the wall. Actually, not really, but the toilet is too close to the wall. I hurt my elbow just looking at it.

1000 wds- my notes sheet- can be a layout sheet also my 11x17 layout

There is also a Width and Height field you can activate in the schedule.

Is Cubism making a comeback?

Super thin poly solid placed in front of the door panel. RTRT

Depending on your rendering style, maybe adding a frosted glass polyline solid to the interior of the glass panel could work. I know there are issue with raytracing and viewing through 2 pieces of glass so this might not work but it would be an easier solution than making a custom texture.

The plan is in the DropBox link. I need to change that ceiling plane because it is cutting through the siding as shown in the first image. I don't need a ceiling plane in the garage since I wont be rendering that area.

I have a multi level project and I am getting a floor/ceiling overlap conundrum. If I adjust the garage ceiling to a sane number like 108", my kitchen/dining level drops. the ceiling line generated is shown on the section view. How do I separate these floors from each other? I tried placing some room dividers in the garage to break the connection but that did not work. Any help is apprectiated.

I place the small line and use it to get the number I want. This fascination with model accuracy to the nth degree is mind boggling to me.This might be due to the fact that I started with a pencil on paper to make construction documents. My pencil weight thickness could be 3" on a bad day. Does that countertop have to be within and 1/2" inch? What are you trying to achieve? If I am drafting a detail to show Simpson how to make a custom bracket and it will get exported out to a .dxf, then certainly, be perfect. Otherwise, "good enough for camera" works for me.

I am going from a laptop to a desktop but I feel like it sometimes happens without the different computers opening the same file.

@glennw Would auto height checked be good or bad? DBX image below. I believe all of mine are set with Auto checked . @DRAWZILLA yeah, I do. All the time. But I have other things to do, all the time.
