  2. Hello @mthd97 I appreciate your response and will consider it; the purpose of the request is to learn what others are doing in an effort to improve productivity or to completely discontinue any effort to show framing in some cases and/or to escalate the issue and keep sending it to CA so they can hopefully fix it. Looking to push another suggestion of mine regarding a "floating" floor container which I have started. The landing seems to be a good candidate.
  3. Looking for TIPS on framing landings as it is currently not an option. Is anyone framing landings at all? If a landing occurs next to a loft or at any other location where it is adjacent to a floor system/framing. Please and thank you,
  4. Anyone using the Transform Replicate tool to align? Thank you @robdyck
  5. Looking for TIPS on how to align polylines or objects to other objects or angles. Not single objects like "make parallel" but the entire polyline whether it is closed or not. Please and thank you,
  6. @MN_JohnH This is a good topic for a suggestion. You may also reference the TJ-4000 booklet, Roof Framing for what is and is not allowed by the manufacturer.
  7. And as for my own ulterior motives: The beauty of tables...
  8. ArchiCAD with Rhino or/and Grasshopper connected can draw just about anything your imagination desires. Proficiency as the end user that’s a must. Cheers!
  9. It did what it was designed to do. Go to the KB and type Rotate read up on it. You will need to use a different tool.
  10. Use two roof planes, overlap them as needed over your support, same spacing but, use a framing reference and place it so that it overlaps the framing as needed right to left, you may need to play with it a bit. You will also need to play with the fascia buttons as to build or not or a combination thereof. See my post about roof planes needing flexibility.
  11. Isn't that what I suggested? I was replying to @lukeanthony12
  12. Most garage door bottom rubber gaskets already comply with this requirement. A simple call with the door manufacturer can produce the necessary submittal paperwork.
  13. Hi Alan, hit them back with R337.8.4 "Shall be controlled by "one" of the following methods" and use either 2 or 3. Done.
  14. Please support this suggestion as it applies directly to your request. Thank you!
  15. Please go to this post and keep asking for this to be resolved! There's much more work to do to improve on roof planes. Thank you,
  16. Hello there, go to my profile and find my website, select contact us or leave a message on the number listed, I'll be happy to chat with you and see if I can be of help with your MEP's. Thank you,
  17. On version 25 Premier, when using the material painter and having the Perspective Framing Overview, or the Full Overview cameras after selecting a material and applying it to the framing either the framing size changed, or the framing z axis changed. Using the material eyedropper picking up a material or color from the same view and applying it to the framing we had the same results of either framing size changing or its axis or elevation changing. We also tried selecting multiple framing members and changed the material to "bone" and the elevation of the framing in relation to the top plates changed slightly upward enough to raise the rafters from their seat cut. Yes, I will be submitting to TS for CA to check, but curious to learn whether this is a bug in 25 and likely rolled over to 26. Thank you,

  19. If you can create the door style you want, you can also create a wall with the thickness and layers and material you need to match the doors, the doors can be the end walls and the doors at the same time. Does that make sense? In other words the 4 foot panels can be doors or windows that just sit there along with the actual doors. If you don't want the wall to show apply a transparent material to it. Good luck. This one kept me entertained, and it showed how versatile CA is, the various ways each finds to create things is amazing. Here's my door concept, using stock doors, if the time is invested in making the shoji screens to match, it is rather simple to do. One 1" wall with no material, the rest is the same door all around, I left the jambs so you can see the doors. Have fun!
  20. Kurt, I don't think such setting exist, but, even if there was one, it is easier just to place the receptacles CA thinks the room needs and then adjust them to meet your code. Meeting the minimum code requirements may not necessarily be what one needs for outlet placement in a room, unless no design is needed the rule of thumb is to place the first outlet 6ft from the door and then space the rest 12ft o.c. Any wall spaces that are at least 2ft will also take one receptacle. Receptacles over 60" high don't count. Hope this helps.
  21. I’ve been doing this for many years now, I have a locked layer for my origin, and I call it just that, Origin, I use a marker instead. Additionally I have a set canvas area in another locked layer that defines the extents of my work area and my elevation cameras are set at each limit of the canvas center lines. Great to see how others come up with similar tricks.
  22. How big is the existing house? Are there plans for it? How big is the property? Are there plans for it? All electric may not work, no credit on electric resistance water heaters, will have to be a heat pump of the sorts or it won’t comply w Energy, how close is the ADU to the home? Is the home existing? How many bathrooms in the existing home? Who’s doing the solar? What jurisdiction?
  23. Ben, is there anything being done to correct this problem? Thank you,
  24. I keep tabs with the forum on and off, unable to reply on most posts, but this one I just have to steal the time from other tasks!! I will call it a break instead. The code update cycle is still going on and keeping me awake! I get asked this question all the time and my answer is very simple, too much has changed! Take the time to read each book and get your head around the changes sooner than later, yes, each book. CBC, CRC, CEC, CPC, CMC, GBS, BEES or CEC (we have two CEC's now) in addition to learn if there were any changes to each muni code of the jurisdictions you work with... Don't forget the Utility Company books may have also gotten updates. Good luck!! Guess who had the most and worst changes?
