Chief framing ain't good in roof overhangs.  If I am doing 3D for renders, I turn off all framing.  2D framing plans, and CAD details plus edited section views (CAD to view is perfect for this!) get the job done.

Yes, I agree, Thank you for that.

Well it's not a perfect solution, but assign a square profile to the rafters in the roof dbx. THEN you might need to pull the hip rafter back from the edge an inch or two. I have to do that whenever I do open rafter tails..... I am not a fan of hacky solutions like this, but it is what it is.

The fascia board sticking through is because the intersected roof isn't trimming the fascia board at an angle like it would be in real life. Im thinking on a solution for this.

Thank you sir, I apreciate your imput.

Two Issues:

1. Hip rafter is sticking out
2. I would like the fascia to over lap the roof sheeting instead of going through

These items I can do a work around and fix but shouldnt it be automatic?

Any help would be apreciated. PLAN IS ATTACHED

This may work. You can use the free version of Sketchup to add more meter sockets?

Thank you sir!

Hello guy's and gales,

Does anyone know where I might be able to find symbols for meter panels? I need 1 that has 5 sockets and another that has 6 sockets.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried that once, then the development authority told me to put them on the plans to get them approved

I get it, I share the frustration.
Have a great day!

I just saw you are on X14. I did this in X16. Sorry about that but not doing it over. So here is the how.

Start by making a molding Place a molding line using that.

Transform replicate, copy that line- I did 12, think 11 is better Space at 19/11.

Convert that to cabinet door, set y origin to 1/2"

Place in a wall cabinet as side panel inset. Set separations to suit. Back and each side match front.

Then using only 6 molding lines make a cabinet door symbol. Another wall cabinet this time 3/4" thick. Place the new door and adjust separations. Convert that to a fixture. Rotate so that it will lay parallel to the floor. Pen it up and set height plane to allow it to grow. 

Set first wall cabinet on the floor. Center the fixture over the cabinet in both directions and adjust height.

THANK YOU!!!

I’m using X16, I just forgot to update my profile.

Im so thank full, you saved me lots of time!!!

Just my thoughts because I have to keep it simple and everyone on the same page to save confusion.

I direct everyone to read off the WINDOW SCHEDULE. You can add all the columns there for what you need.

Framer should follow RO column 60”x42”

Window company should follow SIZE column 5036

Homeowner should follow INCHES column 60”x42”

Good Morning!

I would like to eithier find or create this Mini-Split AC Cover. I have not had much luck with doing it.
 

Any help would be appreciated

How do I renew at the standard SSA renewal rate, $695.00 per year?
I dont see it offered to me this year like usual.

Thank you very much! To easy I looked right over it.

Hey Guy's,

Plan is attached for anyone that might be able to help me.
I built this roof with custom dutch gables and I can see any of the attic wall in the elevations, 3D or sections. I can only see them in the attic floor plan.

Any help would be appreciated.

I changed all the fonts and it seems to have corrected the problem. Probably when I whent from X15 to X16. I need to pay more attention to font change warnings when the program is updated.

Thank you Glenn

Is anyone having this problem?

Whole words are splitting. I fix it but than it separates again when I adjust the box.

Also, the words go out of the layout box in the second picture.

I see I had several views so asuming you all dont know. I figured it out if anyone wants me to post it.
It would be nice if it did it automatically but at least I know how to change it now.

Thank You

I dont understand why this 6" curb doesnt control intself instead of staying with the first floor "0"?

Hello Guy's and Gals,

I need to lower these stem walls down 30" but they stay at "0".
Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I closed everything and started over one step at a time and figured it out. I wasnt following the correct order. I got ahead of myself.

Thank you for getting me in the right direction.

I have to step out for about an hour. An emergency just came up. So if I dont respond right away.

Thank You for your help

This part here. I dont see the imported view anywhere

Thats where I get stuck in the instructions. It seems like Im missing something simple here.

Hello Guy's,

Was wondering if I can export or import a saved plan view to another plan file? Can anyone help me with this?

Appreciate any help at all

In my case I had my text notes as a separate CAD detail.  (I think this is best practice per forum advice).  That's what DB Cooper was referring to.

 

The settings of this CAD detail were affecting the text note text sizing.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Jim

 

Yes, it better explains it. I tried to do it as a cad detail in the past but it had its disadvantages also.

I only like to put notes and details in the plan that have to do with the specific project so boiler plates don’t work well for me. This is why I utilize the library a lot.

The NOTE schedules are a nice idea but seem to have a few glitches that are frustrating.

 

Thank you for the help, Jim, I really appreciate it.
