  1. I think Mick is right on the rafter size. If you build framing you can see what needs to be done more clearly. No one can give you a definite answer unless we have your plan file. Its easier to help you when you can send your plan file.
  2. Framing comes out right also this way
  3. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I like to run the roof in both directions off the same plate line and just put in a negative number to get my porch roof right from the exterior wall.
  4. I sent Joe a PM about a week ago and He hasn't got back to me. I hope he is ok! Its unlike him not to respond. I'm looking for some macros also.
  5. I just got that in a 1TB and I love it!!! Very Happy! Thanks to all the help I got from my fellow Chiefers on this forum
  6. Hello Joe!

    You mentioned in the past that you had some macros set up for calculating square footage. We had talked about this in the past but I never did anything with it. Below is my Building Data that I have currently in a regular text box. I just fill in the information for every job and of course the descriptions change from job to job.

    If you already have something built I would be happy to purchase it from you or if you have to build it that would be fine too. Either way I need some help and your recommendation with this task and I would like to pay for your services to help me.

    If you can help I would much appreciate it.

  7. One I put the text into the Rich Text box it is accurately not bad to make it the way I want it. Its still much quicker than retyping everything. Since I started this thread I have learned a lot about Rich Text and regular text and how to use them. The thing I don't understand is why they have two separate boxes. I don't understand why they could have all the options combined in one box?
  8. Yes, everything just groups together and I have to space everything the way I want it.
  9. Is it possible to cut and past this text into a text box and have it come out with this same spacing? I always have to adjust it with font and correct spacing and numbering even if I build something in word first and then transfer it.
  10. I like it! Thank you that helps!
  11. I want to end this thread because my question got answered on a different thread. Here is my resolve I didn't know that I could make a custom column in the default schedules under "Custom Objects Field" Not sure if this was new in X11 but I never seen it before
  12. Thank you! You just helped me with this answer gave!
  13. Any idea's for best way to label the windows existing or new in the schedule? (E) or (N) Maybe just use the label column or something?
  14. Yes, that is what I'm doing. Just thought I would see if anyone new something I didn't. Thank you for confirming. This is the information I like to see
  15. Is there an option for obscure glass anywhere for the window schedule? Or do I have to add it to comments? What do you guys suggest because most every bathroom window I put in have obscure and tempered glass. I'm surprised CA doesn't have a check box in the same place you check for tempered and egress. Help would be much appreciated
  16. Yea, arent they getting ready to put out a new windows again soon?
  17. Windows 10 has been out for a while so I'm sure its pretty solid now and David confirmed it works good for him.
  18. I'm very, vary, vary happy with my upgrade to the NVME but I'm on a PC so I dont know if that helps you. I dont know anything about MAC and to be honest I dont know much about PC but I do know that the NVME is the hot ticket for me! I love it!
  19. I know several people that don't want to give up windows 7. Some claim that it is still the best windows version. I'm not proud of this statement but I always upgrade because I always think I have to have the latest technology whether it's good or bad. Most people leave things alone when their system is working good and I make trouble for myself, but what the heck! Somebody has to be the Ginny pig! My advise would be, if everything is working good I would leave it alone unless you are prepared for the can of worms you could open up from going to windows 10. It could snow ball on you to upgrade other software and hardware. JUST A THOUGHT! FOR WHATS IS WORTH I have never had an issue with CA but I don't know how it will react to other software you have and your computer. Most of the time I think it is fine. You have to weigh out the risk for yourself.
  20. I agree with your thoughts but things are hard to control. Its always easier said than done. I search all the time for stuff and its a lot of information to navigate through and so that in itself can be very time consuming. Easier to ask the question and get direction one way or the other. I don't have a good answer for this but I do know that this forum works very well like it is and it gets better. As for me, I will comply with an rules the best I can and help as much as I can. Thank you Mark, I really appreciate you!
  21. I'm doing a video to better explains my problem with my external monitors. Should I start a new thread for that? I'm also going to send it to Chief.
  22. Great video! Thank you! I will confirm what I learned from him. I want that Galaga Shirt! That was my may game of choice back around 1980
  23. Yes, I was planning on going back and studying Rene's post about this subject and see if I can figure it out. I dont have have a full understanding and I dont want to get into something like this if I dont know why I'm doing it. I need a dumbed down explanation. You know like one of those books for idiots! Thankts Me!
