Diamond-built

I am drawing a 26 x 28 garage. The client is asking for a 2 x 10 clear span ceiling joist with a strong back on top of them. What is he asking for a Steel I beam?

I have the same problem also I called Chief support and they talked about using a Icloud to save my drawings to so I can retrieve them at any computer. Does anyone else use an icloud that can fill me in on how to go about setting one up?

I have not created a template page yet maybe thats the problem. Because it's still not printing out correctly

Thank you I will try that and take the terrain off.

First time printing a drawing and I print out a full over view and only thing that is showing up is the roof and doors and windows and garage doors. How can I get it to print everything?

Yes Massachusetts is one of those states where you don't have to be licensed. I just want to make sure I have everything I need to start offering my business to clients before I get started. I have been making my own house drawings for the houses I have built but that's it I haven't offered my services out. From reading other people post the going rate is between $85-110 per hour. Would you say that is a fair and accurate rate?

Thank you all for your feedback I appreciate it. The Chief software is something I take serious and have been learning right along and also purchasing the upgrades. I have looked into the AIBD for becoming certified with them. Is their any other organizations I should become familiar with? Also for those that are doing this as a business you don't have to be a licences architect correct?

I have has Chief for 7 years now I haven't done a single thing with it other than playing around with it and learning it. I purchased it because I do new construction and would have to purchase my drawings online from a website. I was wondering what businesses did you start up and finding it profitable? I would like to start making money with this software. I would love to hear everyone's journeys.
