  1. The lot dimensions as drawn are very suspect . We are getting site surveyed. I am curious as to how accurate it is. If this site matches surveyed site I will be very impressed.
  2. I have not tried it. they do it without a site visit. My client got this and there was even floor plans of both floors. Not sure how that was obtained,
  3. This is interesting, anybody seen this? https://getasiteplan.com/contact/.
  4. BTW, I think this is the "buck wall" method that I was looking for several years ago. However, I guess the "buck" width is limited to 3.5" in this example. But with this method I must use 2 walls and 2 set of top plates. IOW, I can't do this in a 2x12 wall.
  5. BTW, look at this plan. Look at the two pics. The only difference is : the pic where the stone returns, the casing is 3.5" the pic where the stone DOES NOT RETURN, the casing is 4". hmmmmmm 925915640_DoubleWall fix?.plan
  6. The easy fix is to lock a good truss and multiple copy. An easy fix for this plan.
  7. why does this post keep disappearing?
  8. Hey guys, here is the plan. BBBB plan with bad trusses 2.plan
  9. I don't think the roof could be any simpler

  13. I see it just the other way around. The more value the more there is to discuss and explain.

  15. I can't think of an example to dispute your statement that a FRAMING LAYER SET might work for different levels, or a FLOOR PLAN LAYER SET may work for different levels. I have unique LAYER SETS for each level because it hurts my head thinking about the exceptions. I also have unique ref sets for each PVS for the same reason.
  16. Well....... if Steve Nestor doesn't do a vid, I will volunteer. Steve, let me know if you want to do it.... or if somebody else will do it...... ...... this is my final warning, if you guys won't do it, I will.
  17. Oh boy, this one is in my wheelhouse..... if I can only answer before Alaskan Son does...... define the dropped ceiling in the ceiling tab.... you want a 10" dropped ceiling, give 6" of airspace under floor joists and then 3-1/2" ceiling joists and then 1/2" drywall. Easy Peasy
  18. Thanks Racklamore...... I swear, every time I see rlackoe I think of Racklamore, isn't that weird? I appreciate the garage doors.
  19. Maybe, or after turning off auto framing he adjusted the floor height which is essentially what you are saying.
