Curious if anyone has a CAD block they'd be willing to share for the unvented attic? (i'm working on modifying these since they are close to my design)

For anyone following this topic, I did speak to my T24 "guy" and Unvented is definitely an option as they have lots of levers to pull to maintain Energy compliance. Interestingly, nobody in my "circle" has done an unvented attic so I'm on my own so to speak. Will re-post back here if anyone interested. (?) Thanks!

@Gawdzira honestly I'd prefer the unvented route if I can get away with it so I appreciate you challenging me on this . I thought it would be required given the Energy Code/Title 24. Sounds like you've been able to avoid the vented route while still complying with T24. Do you have any examples (section details or references) that you'd be willing to share? Much appreciated!

Hi Alan, the plan was to use Vulcan at both ridge and eave locations (the ridge is just their continuous vent). I'll check out the HDG screen mesh as well...thanks for the recommendation!

You're awesome Jim! Appreciate the help

Yep, that's my dilemma. If the Cor A Vent just catches fire anyway, doesn't seem like a good design (from Vulcan). But if I put Mesh in front of Cor A Vent, probably don't need Vulcan. I haven't found an ember resistant vent in the application shown for Cor A Vent....that would be nice Appreciate the collab @JKEdmoand @Renerabbitt!

Thanks @Renerabbitt! Seems redundant to add the mesh in front of Cor-A-Vent and also have Vulcan so I'm not sure if that's a best practice. Perhaps just putting the mesh in front of the Cor-A-Vent is good enough?

Hi all, wondering if anyone has created Ventilation drawing/s in a Cali WUI area? I'm particularly interested in a ridge vent, shed roof, and eave design with stucco exterior. I know Vulcan is an approved Ember resistant vendor and have attached one of their diagrams. Per the code, it appears to be missing the required mesh in front of the "Cor-A-Vent", if i'm interpreting it correctly. Hoping someone has created or found a drawing to put in layout for permit submission. Thanks all!

You're awesome @TeaTime! you saved me. Thanks so much!

@TeaTime makes sense and good to know, thank you! I actually want that section of wall removed so that the bottom slope of the roof sits on the wooden porch beams. Any suggestions there?

Thank you @TeaTimefor the quick reply! I've attached the plan that I'm working with. It's in Student edition so hopefully that's not a problem. Per your recommendation, Default Wall Top is selected and it is showing as an Attic Wall. I believe the reason it's missing in the view is because it's "invisible". Is there a good way to just remove that Attic Wall? Or lower the roof plane the 1' 8 1/4"Monitor Barn 25x60 + 4 suites.planto meet the wooden beams? Monitor Barn 25x60 + 4 suites.plan

Hello all, I'm designing a Barn and having trouble getting the roof to sit on top of the wall like I want on the lean-to. I'm trying to design a 9' wall, sloped ceiling with shed roof on a 2:12 slope. I've attached a few views for reference. Any ideas are much appreciated! Thank you
