Pools I can do, gyms I can do, but not knowing anything about a shooting range is where I am at. Thanks Gene.....good info

Will keep ya posted, I don't expect this one to be as quick of a turnaround as my usual homes. Huge sq footage and a shooting range. Glad to have structural engineers I can reach out too for the opportunity.

haha for real!

I am sure you guys get some unusual requests doing what we all do on here. I am meeting tomorrow with new clients for an 8000-10,000 SF home they want to build. They want a shooting range incorporated in the home, that is all they said and admitted it was a crazy request. I bet this is not going to be your standard wood type framing on it. Would you get an engineer involved ahead of time and work the project together on something like this? Has anyone ever done one? I am picturing a basement foundation for this but we don't do basements down here in bama.

That is a good explanation man. Thanks & will do.

I've always wondered why fireplaces show up only in cross sections but not wall elevation views. "Fixtures Interior" layer is turned on in both views. wall elevation cross section elevation

Thanks anyway Rene, I will upgrade this year. My biggest holdup is my library getting exported so I don't lose anything. I haven't mastered that yet and is always an issue.

The file could not be downloaded.

Yeah, I upgrade every two years..........

This where I was looking but that doesn't change what I want unless I am looking at the wrong thing. I won't make a big deal about it though and just add a note if I have too.

Gotta have a full wall there per owner request, this exact shower.

The only panel offset option I saw had to do with floor clearance and overall height of door but I did see this but it cannot be checked, hmmmmm

Howdy guys, is there a way to show a door with no casing AND mounted to the center of a wall?

10-4 thanks!

I have never had luck shaping it both ways but apparently you can. I have always hit "match roof". Is that what you did or manipulate the window dimensions?

I thought that same thing but the client wants one piece of glass. I guess that ain't happening and in reality would be a huge piece of glass.

Guys, is there a way to make these into one window? Definetely a special order if so.

Good stuff man, this is why I like engineer's stamping my work. I still try to avoid sending them silly things that can 't work though and feedback on here from guys who have built homes is helpful

Just wondering if they can build up with 2x's for something to nail too and trim out (hollow beams). LOL at styro foam. The ridge can be done, I already did a home like this with a bigger span and the engineers worked their magic without adding collar ties (if I understand your concern correctly)

How many framers or engineers do we have in here guys? I am very curious as to how the decorative beams (below) are actually attached to the home when they are NOT protruding into the home over the top plate. Is the front door exterior wall framed to catch the end of the beam somehow and then front part of the beam nailed to the rafters or something? Need to hear from the pros on this. I can design anything the client wants but sometimes analyze these type of things and wonder just how the heck it is done. I have seen it done before on finished homes so I know it is possible. exterior view interior view

This is a new one for me guys. How do I get the soffit to drop down flush with my i-joist rafter tails? See below screenshots................thanks as always!

Sounds like a plan, I just checked and my "bumping/pushing" icon is checked.

Guys, I think I turned off a setting or something. The automatic fillers keep going away after I reopen the file each day. I have to move the cabinet to recognize the filler to come back. Thoughts? before after I move them out of place and back in position

there is one
