  1. Here is the way I fill in my Floor Structure DBX
  2. Add a 4" layer To the Floor DBX Set Concrete to Elevation you want relative to Level (O). Have a great weekend, Ken
  3. Solver, Thanks for pointing that out. Must be the old timers kicking in. Missed that all year. Here I thought we were really going to get something out of The update . I guess what we got was and increase in price and longer in between updates. Have a great week end, Ken
  4. Stairs,L,U,winders,Segmented stairs. Did you find it?
  5. Yes latest stair video on whats coming in X_13,just watched it
  6. Kudos to Chief, X_13 you will be able to correctly draw a stair that has a rail that dies dies into a wall without jumping through hoops.
  7. One more fly in this ointment. Here we have to extend exterior sheathing past and nail to sill plate so the outside of the sheathing of my framed wall has to line up with the outside of the brick on the foundation. Have a great Thursday,Ken
  8. Try using display main layer only Have a great day, Ken
  9. Thanks Michael, Have a great week, Ken
  10. Gene, I use a three layer Wall Type that allows me to dimension accurately. The company I draw for uses D logs with foam insulation between logs (no chinking). The gables are framed with half logs. The log corners are poly-solids. So far Happy Builder and Happy Clients and Happy Me, Ken
  11. Here are a couple Log homes I have done with chief. Yes it is totally doable. Go for it, Ken
  12. Thanks Alan, Have a great week, Ken
  13. Hello Doug, I am in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia No problem with uplift or inspectors here (so far). Never know when that might change. In the case of a Prow Gable (which is only occasionally for the guys I work with) we build the gable low and run the look outs back to the next truss. Ken We just call it a Chicken Ladder
  14. I know things are done differently in other parts of the country but this is the way we do our lookouts. 2x6 fly rafter with 2x6 lookout nailed to the end truss. Sheathing applied and then set on wall. Hope all have a Happy New Year, Ken
