So there are times I know I am asking a DUMB question. But for some reason I could not figure it out and I was searching Flip plan. Well I worked perfectly! Thank you for not giving me a Down Vote LOL 

So I just got off the phone with a customer and I need to flip this house after I just finished designing it. I have not done all of my elevations and sheets yet. So does anyone have a link or a tip for flipping this project without having to redo a bunch of stuff?

Doesn't matter if I add or don't add shear wall details on my plans down here on the coast in Alabama. The engineer's will provide their own details anyway and override mine and stamp their own structural drawings. I made the details and have them in my library though.

This is a fair point, if it requires and engineer they are going to do what they want. I was just wondering if anyone has done them for customers when it wasn't required but the customer wanted them. Here is North Texas there not required on a residential project. But it would help make the house stronger in case of a tornado. 

Hey, so I have had a couple of projects close to the Gulf of Mexico. They require Shear Wall design in the framing plans. Not really sure if I should just start adding them to my designs. Its not a bad idea in Tornado Ally where I live and its not a crazy concept to understand. I did not see a conversation about it so I thought I would start one.

My favorite is seeing a new post in Q&A and seeing it siting there with 0 replies and a downvote.
Who downvotes someone for asking a question?!  So rude.

 
Just remember, internet forums are like "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"; the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

 

Very true TeaTime!

I got downvoted for commenting on a post where someone was asking for some design help. Why would you down vote me for asking if you need help? and then I cant even see who did it or why...  Not Love less War

So I was hoping this would be a more active group. Are any of y'all also AIBD members? I have not rejoined yet but I am planning on doing that this year. I love AIBD and the support they give designers.

I am not sure if you still need help but I would be interested in talking with you. I have a long background in AutoCAD and I have been a Chief user for over a year now. 

Are the walls interior surfaces in line? If its off a little it will show a line

I am working on setting up my own custom "Active Default Set". I have everything the way I want it except the view symbols. I have tried to find video but I have not had any luck with this exact problem. I am sure its something simple that I am missing. 

Did you find someone to finish this for you?

I might be able to help you with all of those items. I will send you a PM

I am starting up my business again and I am going to do it this time with ChiefX14! I am working out of Greenville / Royse City, TX

Joe did you ever find someone to help you friend? Waco is a little bit of a drive from me but I can help them with plans and getting through all the steps. DM me if they still need help. 

BTW this is what I am working on. 

Thank you everyone for the answers! 

I am trying to up a belled roof on some of my houses. I am redrawing some of my old AutoCAD plans. I tried doing it with two roof planes but the lower part but the two plans dont want to connect because the wall top is right there. Does anyone have any ideas or tips for me?
