I will get some sleep and maybe things will look different tomorrow

For some reason I really have this whole plan messed up. Just sent another thread out for the front house framing. I think I'm suffering from burnout. I have 12 plans going at the same time but this one is giving me a hard time. My Dad is in stage 4 cancer and I have to get out to Michigan from California on the 30th. Burning the candle at both ends to get all my work done.

I would love to place the plan! Harco.plan

What the he** is this? I have never seen this happen before. Anyone got a clue? Thank You

Much closer! Big Help. How did you get rid of these things? Did they just go away when you did what you told me?

Yea, part of the problem is that it passes under the second story cantilever. I did it as one tall room and I tried it with 1st and 2nd floor. There has to be a way but I'm not sure what it is.

I guess no one knows how or don't have the time for me on this one. I will call support in the morning. Its really got me stumped. Thank You for the views

As I move the lower wall back from underneath the upper wall the beam and post disappears. Can anyone help me with this? The plan is attached in my second response. Thank You

Turn on all the Terrain layers and see what comes up and you can just delete it

They look like terrain elevations info Terrain Elevation Data. Turn the layer off or delete it

Here is another file. The other one may not work Harco.plan

Is there anyone that has a little time to help me to clean this up? This my first time attempting to do exterior stairs. I seem to be close but have a few issues I'm having problems with. On top of whats circled in this picture I would like a ceiling instead of vaulted. Harco.zip

I would imagine that if a fire separation is required that they would want it in the attic as well. I ques it would depend on if the requirement is just for the breezeway (corridor) to protect you to get out or for the possibility of a fire on one side reaching the other side.

Thank you, that really helps me.

Although, as a builder if the sections are saying 0" than I may want to match that.

Yes, I do see 100' FF on topo. drawings

That makes a lot of sense. Typically I use the subfloor of the main living space as Zero when I measure elevations of a property and make that consistent to all my subcontractors so we are all on the same page. So I can use negative and positive numbers from there depending if I'm above or below. I'm assuming the plan checker will except anything as long as it makes sense to them.

Perfect! Thank you Chop!

I'm trying to understand terrain elevations because I'm getting more and more jobs where I have to show the correct slope on the elevations. I noticed that "0" seems to be the finish floor height as far as what the terrain see's. In this it says subfloor but that's not what I get in my section when I measure it. I get top of finish floor. Looking for clarification and some advice of where I should be having my "0" at? Im assuming subfloor, but I know usually plans I have seen in the past call it FF (Finish Floor) but the subfloor makes more sense because different rooms have different finishes such as wood, carpet, tile... Any advise would be helpful Thank You Oop's, I does read from subfloor. Still would like some advice on elevation starting point though. Should I start with the terrain to "0" and In the terrain specs box when I'm setting terrain elevations.

Thank You! I tried to move that in every direction except for that one that you did. I guess this stuff just happens from time to time and we have to make it work. I wish there was a better explanation but I don't know what it would be.

Thank you I will post it soon. Have to run out for a few.

This is the kind of stuff that is very irritating to me!! If anyone can help me to easily find the problem when this happens I will be forever grateful! I can post the plan if needed but If I have some direction I would like to figure this out myself Thank You

Or you could just make a poly line box or select the area and use the fill to make whatever scale grid you want. Don't forget to select whether or not you want a background color or transparent.
