  1. Thanks. Live Loads and Design Criteria I handle separately (as Structural). My "Codes" macro will list the codes for Washington as you show - without the indication of what sections are not adopted.
  2. What would you place on your title sheet as the code list? Can you post a screen shot?
  3. Hi Maureen, California updates every 3 years. Do you know if Massachusetts is going to adopt a similar strategy? The last time was evidently an increment of 6 years.
  4. Undoubtedly it was derived from the UBC or BOCA. I remember the time clearly and while I no longer have a copy of UBC or BOCA it appears your code is very much a version of one of those codes. As you say, it's a Frankenstein. The IBC wasn't in existence prior to 2000.
  5. We used to have the "UBC - Uniform Building Code" in California. Is your code derived from that?
  6. How often are the codes updated? Is it regular every 3-4 years?
  7. This is an example of the codes list I use in San Diego County. Can you provide a list your jurisdiction requires? I'm trying to create a comprehensive macro for as many locals as possible.
  8. In California we use modified versions of the IBC & RBC. Our current versions is 2022 CBC & CRC. Are there any jurisdictiions (States, Provinces, Countries) using anything other than the IBC & RBC?
  9. Create a "Slab" or "Solid" of the desired base size and place the Cabinet (without a base) on top of that.
  10. Molding Polylines might work. I'm not sure but it's worth a try.
  11. FWIW, I use Arial and Arial Bold for almost everything. For fixed width I user Courier.
  12. It's technically a "Lower Wall Type" vs "Upper Wall Type". I wish CA was consistent in naming these things.
  13. Use a Pony Wall for the CMU on top of the slab.
  14. Use Labels in lieu of Notes or Text. The Labels are automatically attached to the objects and when the objects move so do their Labels.
