"(I was designing and building high end residential with this bottom wall negative detail 25 years ago, it was a common detail back then)" now looking back at some construction records it was at least 35 years ago. Did a house about 5 years ago which had the same detail, with this type of house design I always have interior and exterior ceiling height doors, ie flush with the ceiling, exterior doors are always timber pivot (because they are heavy). We did it with a 120mm Sq edge bottom skirting/baseboard, 12mm gap, drywall with a bottom Sq edge metal trim and a 50mm black metal strip behind the gap fixed to the framing. In some cases also did the negative detail around interal door jambs, no architraves (casings), instead of timber window revels (frame) fixed water proof drywall into alunmin window revels (frame), so the wall drywall and window revel (frame) was stopped (plastered) as one, good things never die.

I have 63 default sets setup the same or similar to yours, each default set is linked to a layer set with the same name. This allows using only one template with the ability use multiple plan scales for different plan sheets within one plan set, ie. floor plan, structural steel plan, deck plan etc. I have had CA setup like this for years ever since we had annotations sets before default sets, once setup it is quick and easy to use.

In these type of cases I use steel portal frames with concrete base footings

Use the poly solids to create the opening roof parts, re-size/shape to required size and then convert it to a symbol. OpeningRoofs.calibz

I have done a few designs with opening louvre roofs. Attached is overviews of opening roofs I have done in CA, not very good images though. Attached are 3D symbols I have made up to represent an opening roof, not perfect but looks OK. In the file are the poly solids I use to create the opening roofs size/shape and then I convert it to a symbol. If any use all are welcome to them. Opening Roofs.calibz

If you care to step outside the US its a big world with more than one country and one terminology

Quote: "So you're saying that because another company used the wrong terminology that it's "Standard" now?; 2 wrongs don't make a right." Just pointing out that MiTek, a US International Company which is leader in the supply of construction fixings etc widely use the term "outrigger". As you would know terms used in different countries differ to decribe different construction methods, materials, terms and items, We in NZ have many other different terms which are mainly handed down from English origins, ie; we have door architraves and skirting, you have casings and base mouldings and the list can go on forever, whos right? Original terms and decriptions go way back to the Greeks, Romans, Euorpeans, English and other countries, pre our colonial days, they were all designing and building before all of us.

Sub Fascia Depth/Height Setup Top of rafter to top of soffit lining measured at the back of th fascia

Michael, no offence meant, just trying to say that when a standard truss is set with standard settings and placed in the plan it should not have an energy heal or raised heal.

This is only true if the VSD and the roof pitch remains the same. Greater truss spans may require the top and bottom chord to have a greater depth. Steeper roof pitches increases the depth of the top chord. Therefore the heal height would be different in each case as the VSD increases or decreases. Standard trusses are not specified as having a heel height.

A Standard Truss: A standard truss has no heal height. The bottom of the bottom chord sits on the top of the top plate and extends out to the wall framing exterior face where it intersects with the top chord. The top chord under side sits on the bottom chord where the bottom chord meets the wall framing exterior face. The truss heal height or energy heal height is the height from the top of the top plate to the top of the top chord vertically above the wall framing exterior face. An energy heal serves two main purposes, one to increase the distance between the top an bottom chords to increase the structural span of a truss, the other to provide a greater depth between the bottom chord and the under side of the roof for increased insulation depth for higher insulation R-values.
