Did you notice in plan view the framing for the bottom 2 decks was framed on level zero even though one of them was actually built on level 1. I have a condition like this on a project I am working on. For some dumb reason I built the basement on level zero so I had a challenge displaying the deck. Suppose the deck on level one was built directly above the deck built on level zero..... the framing for both decks would be stacked on top of each other in plan view. Thanks for the Birthday wishes guys..... I'm off to pick up a couple of driver's from my brother, then an hour long bike ride, Dinner with Lynn and friends and then .... golf is tomorrow. BTW, this is the first time I built the basemen on level zero and I get dinged for it.

Build a 3 story house and build a foundation. Now put a deck on each side of the house , each deck on a different floor/level, 4 decks total. (this includes putting a deck on the FOUNDATION/ZERO LEVEL) Now building framing, Note on what level each deck is built on. BTW, when defining the basement, it can be a walk out basement. Any comments?

I was wondering about that. Maybe it is an issue with Radeon on a PC instead of a Radeon on a MAC. I am so close to pulling the trigger, I have one particular that is killing me.

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I am looking at the attached computer. Will this computer give me a noticeable increase in speed? As Perry said, my current 'puter seems to be getting slow. Any input would be awesome.

Thanks Larry,

Hi Guys, I am Looking for a surf board and rack symbols, any help? thanks

It's either a hidden Bitcoin mining algorithm on our systems or it's Trump's fault.

I too have noticed a slowdown, hence the interest in a new computer. I need to find out if the newer computers are fast enough to warrant the cost.

Hi MAC users. I have a late 2013 IMAC. I am thinking of upgrading. Before I upgrade, I would like to test drive a particular plan on a newer/faster computer. If you have a newer/faster computer, would you mind emailing me. I would like to discuss test driving my file on your computer. Thanks

I think Michael has worked it out.

I am working with Michael on this, I will let you know how it works out.

I love the new one too.

So I was downloading PUBLIC BETA from my digital locker and I noticed this.... I think it has been there since 2001. It looks like it it a download of a CERTIFIED USER certificate. Is that so?

Nice job E

Not fair, the workshop was for beta users. Solver has the basic answer, you also probably do not have framing on,

this was covered in our last workshop, The workshop video has been posted by Chopsaw.

I have a feeling you did not try your solution. If you asked me, this plan is a bit of a mess, yet interesting. 1. He adjusted many of his wall heights manually, not a good idea unless you know what you are doing 2. the wall is not there because his stairs are on top of wall 3. I think he is missing a staircase from the garage to the next level up....... This is a relatively complicated model.

I guess I didn't know what I was talking about, my ceiling does hang off the wall. So my question is, why is Jerry's ceiling sitting on wall and not hanging from wall?

Interesting, I had not thought of this...... it might make sense to use this method if you wanted the ceiling TO SIT ON THE WALL and not hang off the wall....... I think....... suppose you selected the exterior wall and defined it as going through ceiling, would the ceiling now hang off the exterior wall?

Framing turned off.

this is how you use the top floor to get a finish at the overhang. Notice the z fighting? framing and finish? turn off the framing and it should look good.

That is the point of the extra floor. Attics will never have a room. So create the extra floor. if left office so I can’t look at your model

yes, the mysterious attic level.... I always have one extra floor..... if I have a two story house, I really have at least 3 levels...... give it a try, always have an extra level, it will come in handy.

again, you should post the plan, but if I had to guess, I would of really turned that attic level into a REAL FLOOR WITH ROOMS, and then the cantilevered portion would have a finish defined by you. If you look at the underside you should see a finish material, but it will have no thickness, because of this if you have the framing turned on I bet you will see z fighting between the framing and the soffit material .... so the solution would be to turn off framing. Of course you can always add a psolid under the cantilever to serve as the finish.
