I'm looking for typical Stair Framing Details. Anyone have to share?

Most likely the roof planes are not joined.

%box_scale% has been in the program for at least 15 years. Graphic Bar Scales should always be placed in the plan views sent to Layout. That way they will always be correct in the Layout.

Weird Lines showing on my windows in plan view
Joe_Carrick replied to Rickster's topic in General Q & A
Without having the actual plan file I doubt anyone will be able to help. In addition you seem to be using version X6 which is 10 years old. Most users here would be using X14 or X15. I personally only keep 3 versions and have always updated to the current.- 5 replies

Go back and read this entire thread. You will need the tub symbol to include a rectangular countertop with a hole that matches the shape of the tub.

Besides which you have 2 separate icons, each of which is a tool bar.

x15 Why isn't my auto archive storing any files?
Joe_Carrick replied to DianeP's topic in General Q & A
Diane, Auto Archive always overwrites the current archive file - no history. If you want extra backups you have to save manually, then there's a history. -

You have to "Build Framing" after the wall has been created - or have "Automatic Framing".

It would really be much more useful if the Stair dbx had a way to automatically add these items at the appropriate locations and orientation. Maybe X16 will have such capabilities. Manual placement is a pain and matching to stair rails for various rise/run ratios is difficult because stretching the symbol changes the shape of the profile.
-
Yes, X15 changed several NVPs so that formula doesn't work. You'll need to get Michael to provide a replacement.
-
I have some custom macros to do it. I believe X16 may provide something like that as well.

I'd use a Ramp.

Can Chief Architect perform structural load calculations?
Joe_Carrick replied to adgtx08's topic in General Q & A
I use Strucalc. It doesn't communicate with Chief. However, I can use Chief to calculate the loads and then enter those into Strucalc. Of course, you either need to be an engineer or an Architect to sign the calculations. -
Help with stairs (L-shaped with winder)
Joe_Carrick replied to JamieW_Campbell's topic in General Q & A
You'll have to do that with 4 Landings. Chief's L-Stairs and Winders are designed to do what the pic on the right shows. -
Since Glenn showed how it can be done - CA should be able to program it.

FWIW, I have a macro solution that lists all doors, drawers, drawer fronts and panels. It displays the details in the cabinet schedule and/or in a formatted text box. The price for this macro package is $75
