  1. Chad and Chris,

     

    Thanks guys,Sometimes I just can/t let things go. Guys I used to work with on the job used to say thats good enough let it go but thats just not me when I get a bur in my but I just have to work it out, Ha,Ha

     

    Hope you have a great week,Ken

  2. Hey Mike,

    Old school I guess,Sheet metal for the main layer then Made a 3/8 "x1 1/4" Rafter and raised it above the roof. Gave it the same cooper as the roof metal then transform replicate across the roof. Used the Ridge cap and raised it above the ribs and gave it the same cooper material. Probably more trouble than a lot would do but I've seen people spend more time than that in things I didn't care about. If a client wants to see Standing Seam Roofing I think it ought to look like it. Just me,I guess.

    Thanks for asking.Ken

  3. Solver is correct, it is the same as ribbed metal roofing,what we used to call 5-V Crimped. Even after this, it is not showing correctly because after you put the Ridge cap on it sits on the flats and not on the Rib. Poor that after all this time Chief hasn't come up with a true Standing Seam. It has been used for years and is getting even more popular now.

    Have a great week all, Ken

  4. Rene,

    Wow, This is something else. I have been using Chief for a long time and I wish I had half the command of the program as you. Partly because I am not pushed I guess. In my area the requirements for a permit are no where what they are in other parts of the country. Particularly Cali. Most of my clients just want enough to gat a building permit. I did connect with two local builders last year on a three high end plans that helped my income a good bit. Just want to say again how much your work and sharing is appreciated.

        Have a great week,Ken

  5. Thanks Mick,

    Just got the beta open and opened my Template plan. Not going to be able to bet into this as deep as I'd like tonight.

    Having  to shuttle the better half between jobs tonight,Pouring rain here and she has trouble seeing to drive at night anyway the rain just kills it. I,ll play between trips. Had high hops for that feature. Lots of others though. The firewall and party wall will help a lot also.

    Have fun,Ken

     

     

     

  6. Mick,

    I understand how the beta loads without effecting the current version. What I was asking about on the landing tool is ,will it enable you two build a stair that runs into a wall and allow the offset  so the stair meets the wall as in the real world?

     

    Thanks for the reply.Have a great week,Ken

  7. I did a plan for a client back in late eighties and then trimmed the house  for him. He had a pool room (game room) and when I trimmed the house he decided he wanted crown in that room. I did it, but swore i would never do it again. To this day I have not. It is a real PITA. Merry Christmas guys and a Great New Year
