Scott and Larry thanks for taking the time and make this videos, it was very helpful and appreciated.

x2 Joe, on the East coast also its never done that way.

Mike (Evergreen), I never seen this being done that way... Usually when dealing with situations like that this is the way its being done.

Check out this nice little tool https://screentogif.codeplex.com/, very useful to display quick details or instructions without using a video. I hope you can find it useful. Enjoy

Scott and Perry, Yes you can do it that way, and you find allot of that type of construction in your neck of the woods, around here if you encounter something like this in a 2 or more story dwelling without stepped out header, you will need structural window frames or some kind of a structural glass system, they use them all the time in the city or custom homes...

I agree with Gene, anything like this on the exterior of the house if there is no frame you have to use structural glass which is like Gene said will put a hole in your pocket. Even using a window frame it will have to be a structurally reinforced frame, because every corner in the house is carrying a roof load in one way or another.

Perry, been doing that way to many times latley Anytime Jon, enjoy!

The video is working here with windows player.

Anytime!

Was making something something today for a metal fabricator and it looked like a set of legs with a few modifications made to it, so I put a table top on top of it and it came out a nice coffee table, so I figured I share with you guys. This is the picture and enclosed is the DXF file of the model. If anyone needs it in a different format, let me know. Enjoy Coffee Table.zip

Thank you Joe! Yes, I had to go in into the pattern folder and select stone pattern and adjust the scale, in addition there is a drop down option with different stone patterns, you also have to select that one to get the shape of the material more or less.

Joe, This a bit off the topic so to speak... I noticed that some materials like stone or brick don't have a pattern attached to them, they show up in a regular camera view, but they will not show up in elevation veiw. Here is a few images of 2 different stone materials applied. My question is... Is there a way to create that pattern and modify the material so the pattern is available for that material in the elevation view?

Thank you Joe, can't wait to read it. As the workshop goes, I'm looking forward to it. I missed the first one, but saw the video's and learned allot from them. Thank you for your time, much appreciated!

Right On Buddy!

Industry standard you should set your rough opening to be 2" (50.8mm) on your framing in dbx you have 10 mm which is not enough and if you include this into your plan details and a framer will follow the rough opening sizes as indicated on the plan, the guys who install doors they will have problems.

Sorry Joe... Wrong wording, is not what I meant

I agree Perry, that would be nice if that can be added right inside symbol specification box in the sizing preview window that would be great.

Chief Architect just posted a video on youtube about stretch planes, the topic that was discussed at Joe's workshop. This is a real good explanation to rebut what was discussed at the workshop. Here is the link:

I see what you mean... Thanks for clearing that up!

Scott, Do you think that problem occurred because of the landing not being the same size as the floor thickness, therefore it created riser variations?

No matter what it is or how well you know something, everyday you learn something new. There is allot of guys here with lots of experience and knowledge and I learn something new here everyday and even if I already knew something, before you know there is another trick to do it better. With that said, I don't have much experience with lots of tricks, but I can hold my own on pretty much anything I need to do, and I appreciate everyone time and knowledge most of you dedicate to come in here to share and teach others. Thank you everyone! Take care and keep warm

What about .DXF format, have you tired that? I just converted a bunch of files for someone who is using MAC to DXF format and it seems he didn't have problems.

Anytime, if you ever need more files to be converted, just zip'em up and i will change it for you, just drop me a message so I know. Enjoy!

Here is the converted files in DXF format. If you need a different format, let me know please. Class Room Furniture.zip

In what format do you need to convert them?
