I’m looking for a floor plan app for my iPad that will work best with transferring to Chief Architect. I found Sketchup but noticed there are lots of other apps. Wold like to get other thoughts and opinions. any help would be appreciated.

Or you can select not to include the newel post and make your own and put them in werever you want.

You guys are awesome, thank you!!!

Hello and Happy New Year! I have always just worked around this problem in the past and I would like to figure it out once and for all. When I connect a glass wall to another wall it wipes out the drywall and exsposes the wood stud. Im sure there is a simple fix for this but Im just a little to dumb to figure it out. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I can attach the plan if needed but I would think this shold be a problem to fix.

Thank You! I had that and other settings that somehow got messed up. Its all resoved now.

Im not sure what I did wrong but my rows in my note schedule are to big. Not sure how to get them adjusted back to normal. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, Definitely have more control over the frame work that way.

I added this problem to the suggestions.

Yes, I played around with that and its not a bad idea but still doesnt give me what I want. Thank you for trying. I think this is one of those times Im just not going to get it perfect and I have to accept it.

Yes, the window separation is set to zero to bring them together. Too bad we can’t size the left and right side frame separately

If I over lap the units then it changes the look on the floor plan. Might be able to live with that if there is nothing better to do.

I’m trying to create an accurate store front window system. If I do three separate windows, then the middle mullions are not 2" like the rest of the frame. If I do one window with three lights then all the mullions don’t show up on the floor plan Not sure how to make this work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys, that was a lot of help!

Can you put a slop on it when you do that?

Your a life saver!!! Thank You Very Much!!!

I didnt know you can add purlins. I dont see the option. Can you direct me toward it?

Hello Guy's and Gal's, I’m trying to build a patio cover coming off the house with a 1/2" per foot slope and I would like to do part of it solid and part of it with 2x2 lattice like this picture. I was trying to figure out the easiest way that I can do this and maintain the 1/2" per foot slope. Easy to do it flat but not so easy with a slope. Any help would be appreciated.

This is just me playing around trying to get organized a little better. It would be nice to be able to save notes somhow and edit them easier. I save them to the libuary but there is not master note list of any kind. Not sure how to better organize them for changing and editing.

This works perfect!!! Thank You

Ok, I will look

Can anyone please tell me how to change the symbol size in the Schedule? You would think they would com out the same size as the plan.

Solver, Would you be willing to give us a quick video demonsttation?

Thank you for doing that. I couldnt have done that good of a video for him and I learned something also.

Depending on your situation, changing the wall thickness can cause other complications like how your tie in will look. I will usually do the wall thickness same as the beam size. For the bigger columns you may need to do a lower slab to build your foundation and an upper 4" slab if you want the 1 1/2" overhang. You have a lot more control this way and its fast and easy.

Bringing this subject back from 2015 for Knee Braces, With all the upgrades to CA since 2015 does anyone have any better ways to do Knee Braces? I’m still using the same method. I just put them in the drawing from my user library and unblock them and resize them as needed, if needed but still a little awkward and time consuming.
