You have to set the Conc. at the point that lets the gravel adjust to the point you want it.You will have to increase wall default to get what you want to get the gravel to sit on the footer.

Here is the way I fill in my Floor Structure DBX

Add a 4" layer To the Floor DBX Set Concrete to Elevation you want relative to Level (O).

        Have a great weekend, Ken

Thank you Rene for sharing you work. Great job,much appreciated.

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

Stairs,L,U,winders,Segmented stairs. Did you find it?

Yes latest stair video on whats coming in X_13,just watched it

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.

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

Try using display main layer only

  Have a great day, Ken

Thanks Michael,

            Have a great week, Ken

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

         Here are a couple Log homes I have done with chief. Yes it is totally doable.

        Go for it, Ken

Thanks Alan,

Have a great week, Ken

Nice,Thanks

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

               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

I'm guessing ,pony walls

Nope,no improvement on standing seam.

I set my Corner Boards at 1/4" thick. Looks closer to normal,not that much trouble.

   Have a great week end, Ken

Thanks Mark,

           Have a great weekend, Ken

Add a plate to a beam then add that to your user library. Next time it is ready for use.

 Hope this helps.

      Have a great week, Ken
