Nevermind, apparently there was already a post on this so I retracted back to previous video card driver.

Well, something new for th first time ever. X17 opens then shuts down. I updated nvidia, alienware, windows etc. today so I supposed that has something to do with it? I have restarted several times as well.

Hey guys, how do I get rid of this railing wall bottom when a carport is attached to the home and rear porch/deck? Hope the screenshots help...... Rear porch was made with railing walls and named "deck". I like to use railing walls to form a carport and remove the railing then manually input the posts and beams. Home subfloor is 36" above grade and carport space was formed with -35" floor height so the slab sits slightly above grade.

I tried doing that last pic a few years and it looked pretty good. I took a google maps screenshot of the lot and use it as a backdrop in CA. You know, before AI was coming out.

Well I've used chat gpt to change exterior wall materials and colors and it seemed to work fine. I even deleted a curved stairwell in one of my plan files and asked AI to make a better curved staircase and it worked nicely. Today I put it to the test and I wouldn't say it is to scale but it did a great job when I told it to merge these two screen shots of the floor plan my client wants. I searched everywhere but failed to find the web link. AI couldn't even find it with all the info put in.

Good feedback guys, I usually do 3:16 with the front elevation at bottom of D size sheet and 1/4" rotated on D size sheet when it fits so they have both but will take into consideration all these suggestions. I will be honest I have never used match lines and interested in learning more now.

What does the match lines do?

Yeah, I was thinking plumbers scale it to place the pipe inside the fdn forms before pouring the slab too.

Thanks guys, I need to set up E size in my templates for this purpose. I know a lot of the builders out here so If they want it to 1/4" bad enough they won't hesitate to ask. I look at my architectural scale and feel I could build by it but I am no pro. What do they scale the drawings for anyway if the dimensions are right in front of them?

I also ask because I have heard E size sheets can be a pain on site if it is windy. Those sheets are the size of a blanket almost lol

Hey guys, Architecture 101 here and wanted to get input on how you remedy this. When a home won't fit on D size sheets @ 1/4"=1'-0" normal orientation or rotated to fit, do you go to an E size sheet? Or do you add a note on each plan/elevation view saying "1/4"=1'-0" available upon request"? Do framers absolutely despise 3/16"=1'-0" when 1/8"=1'-0" is too small? Thoughts? I typically can rotate the floor plan 90 degrees and it fits but this current monster of a home won't fit at all. Happens very rarely with me.

I checked "build fdn below" and it went away but will keep your idea in mind for the next time I have to troubleshoot.

Hey guys, this gets me every now and then. I don't know how it happens, but how do I get rid of the concrete below the main slab?

copy and paste in place roof plane. Slide the two planes to connect at the pitch break and then manipulate the lower portion to the pitch desired. If I am understanding you right. Kind of similar to how I do a flared eave but opposite.

Thanks guys.
