Thanks for making me aware of the font under the preferences. It doesnt do anything globally but I dont want to leave something out. I want the materials list ot be the same also.

Thank you that was a big help becasue I didnt know you could group select

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the text font globaly throught the program without haveing to go through every annotation set?

Thank you Perry!

According to the ADU laws in California, if you build a new detached ADU, you must have solar. As of January 1st 2023 there is an exemption; If your PV Capacitiy on your title 24 is below 1.8 kwdc then you do not need solar. Here are my questions: Is anyone familiar with this and can help me understand it better? Does ayone else have any questions or input in this matter? Is there a way to lower the kwdc in the title 24 and if so, how? This image is a snipit from a Title 24 report for an ADU that is 787 square feet (two bedroom two bath unit). As you can see the PV Capacitiy is kwdc 1.95 and if it was 1.8 or under then the owner will not be required to do Solar.

Good point! That was another thing that we were able to use pad footings under existing in verious locations becasue the engineered beams could carry a good span so we didnt have to undermine all the existing footing. In your case you have a partial basement so dont know how the would work. I dont do basements.

Assuming the exsiting ceiling joist and roof will need to be torn off: I had a job recently where we just added a 4x12 to the top of the wall around the perimeter and used LPT4's to connect the beam to the top plate. Worked real nice so we didnt have to remove all the stucco and drywall. Just some drywall on the inside for shear wall.

Thank yoyu for sharing I had a 17" laptop before and it was just to big and bulky to use on an air plane or in a car when traveling. I take and extra 24" monitor with me in my suitcase when I travel. These new flat monitors pack easy and take up very little room and I prefer to have at least two monitors to work on anyway. They are also very cheap. I also use my Ipad pro 11 for an addtional monitor sometimes. That has really helped me sevral times when I needed to get someting out quickly. Once you get used to 2 or 3 monitors its hard to work with just one screen. The ipad as a monitor is also nice becasue of the touch screen. I use it to do all my signatures. I use "duet" to connect ipad to laptop

Thank you all for your help in making my decision, This is the laptop that I decided to go with as per my newly revised signature. I don’t do Ray Tracing and the ThinkPad is a very durable Laptop for travel and I do a lot of it. My last laptop computer was an ASUS gaming computer (4 years old) and I had to be very careful with it and it was still slow at times. I know a desktop computer is the way to go for speed and performance, but it doesn’t fit my traveling lifestyle. I now have three LENOVO COMPUTERS: My wife has a three-year-old ThinkPad and we also have a Four-year-old ThinkCenter desk top. In my opinion they are better than anything I have ever purchased for a computer. Very dependable and durable. I will most likely never retire so I decided to start traveling as much as possible a few years ago and enjoy life and family while I still can. I have to stay mobile for now until the Lord changes my direction. Any question or more information anyone is interested in let me know.

Thank You!

Thank you Joe, I will

I have a second license that I let exspire in 2020. Can I renew that licence and keep it under the Perpetual (lifetime) software licenses? Also, I beleive I was paying 399 per year for the second license. Will it still be at the lower cost for the second licence?

Line sizing is something I have not done well at. I like color but when you print black or grey you really need to have good line sizing. I could you some help with that myself. Some ideas.

I beleive those are called medallions

Everything is working now, thank you for all your help! Im not sure about that one down vote that someone posted earlier but I will give all upvotes becasue you all were right and gave me great edvise.

So the dimesion that I was concerned about was actully in the right place. It needs to read to the outside rim and not the railing. Not sure what I was thinking but its right now.

To All, I liked Joe's method I thought becasue I wanted to be able to get the dimesiton line to snap at the main layer but it still soe I liked Joe's method I thought because I wanted to be able to get the dimension line to snap at the main layer, but it still doesn’t seem to work right. I had less complications with his method also after I figured out that you must add the air gap to the interior layer instead of the exterior layer to get it to work right (go figure). Im back to the thicker wall method and everything seems to be fine except for the dimension line.

Im so confused, this should not be that complicated. All of these Idea's will work but they all casue other complications.

Hello Joe I checked the box as air gap but is there a way to get rid of the materials? Or should I just change it to an exterior materials so the wall draws correctly without having to reverse layers?

Your after image isnt coming through

Good job Larry! I like what you are trying to achieve. I have been using the library for that purpose, but I like the idea of building the tool pallets. Wish I could be more help to you, but you have me interested. If I learn anything more, I will share it with you.

This didnt work for me. It just made the post bigger. Could I be missing a step?
