I usually change it to a 6" wide door and then flip it and then resize.

This is a great tip..... I considered doing this but the way I label my files, the latest was always at the bottom of the folder for easy access....... but I should rethink this..... I am sure I can thing of a way to keep the "MAIN PLAN" at the bottom of the folder list for quick and easy access.... like maybe a space before the file name of all ref plans and no space in file name for "MAIN PLAN". The relinking really isn't a big deal EXCEPT I always lose my shadows for my elevations. Good power tip Michael.

yep, that is usually the answer.

..... and that is not an exaggeration. It is getting ridiculous.

Joe, I was flagged by the county, they are using the 2019 code.

.... and by adjusting the stretch zone, you can eliminate the hanging brackets

Thanks Rob, sorry for the bother, I thought I had done a search using "HEATER", sometimes I wonder if I am entering the "I wonder where I am zone", but I should be too young for that

Absolutely. What Joe said and it defines what layer any new text, dimensions and cad objects go on. And yes, the ref sets are more powerful than before because you can use as many ref sets as you want..... very very powerful........ think about this... sometimes you want to show a FILL from another layer BUT NOT ALL OF THE FILLS...... that is where the multiple ref sets come in handy.

I am looking for a Outdoor Patio Ceiling Heater Symbol. I thought I saw one in the library but I cannot find it now. Does anybody know where it is? thanks

I think he is wrong. I would ask him to cite the code. I have never tempered the window in this situation.

Yep, I bet this is the one.

I use a roof plane..... actually 3 roofs planes.....

I have had not difficulties with X12. Everything I do is in X12, new and existing projects.

I Agee, build dormer manually ON THE FLOOR ABOVE, check roof cuts wall at bottom, put hole in roof.... I do not think it is necessary to create a room. I did countless videos years ago trying to figure this out.

present

align walls and then do the THROUGH..,.,.. for both walls

It is probably a soffit. Turn roof soffit off to verify.... if so, change the SUBFASCIA depth. SUBFACIA controls location of soffit.

The only solution that I know of is to use Michaels (Alaskan Son) area macros or Joe Carrick's package. This by the way is required for EVERY SET OF PLANS I do. I need a breakdown of Garage Areas, Heated Areas, Porch areas, sidewalk area etc. I would of thought this capability would of been baked into CA but it is not. I suppose the benefit of this is the two aforementioned guys came up with two different methods to solve the same need.

I don't think you should ever manually adjust a wall height in elevation unless you. know what you are doing. That is what got you in trouble in the first place.

No, I do not use that glass house feature. You got me thinking about turning off the ref set, it would be a good feature, but until they give you this feature, simply toggle the ref set to ref the 3rd floor or the 18th floor. (a floor that does not have anything on it). Almost as simple as a toggle one/off button.

BTW, if you do want a ceiling in that living room, I think you will need to build if with a. CEILING PLANE in lieu of the room DBX. If you want to use the DBX, go to the ceiling structure and change the depth of the ceiling joists from 5-1/2" to 16" and then to 1" and you will see how it effects the siding finish on the gable end.

Larry, you must be missing something, the Multi Ref is about as good as it gets. I have used 3. ref sets for one layer set in certain plans. It really is where it should of been years ago. Thanks CA for this.

Yep, not a good thing. Some folks buy into their neighborhoods for a certain level of quality of life and this bill could wreak havoc.
