  1. I can't wait until the cities only accept DIGITAL PRINTS. Then we have greater flexibility with the format we use. Because of the printing process, we cannot use color or the render views which are the formats I prefer. Color printing for rendering AND PLAN VIEWS will make reviewing the plans so much easier for plan reviewers. I have a feeling the print companies will have a very tough time staying in business. I was talking to the Manager of my health club and he told me because of the digital age, he is USING MORE PAPER. I think that is because his heirarchy has not adapted to the digital age.
  2. You have a slab under the living room. change to raised floor assembly and you should get what you want.
  3. Great info Graham.
  4. I gave him a few points.....
  5. Ain't that a pistol, I can't find the 2 GANG, but I did find a 3 GANG, and then I created a 7 GANG by putting 7 switches close together.
  6. Put in two switches side by side and they become one.

    Rafters

    If you build the roof correctly, the rafters will auto build if you have that function turned on.
  8. terrain breaks can be unpredictable at times. I do not think there is one answer that fits all situations. There seem to be different solutions for different scenarios. The advice I can give is to post a plan with the problem you are having and somebody may have a solution for your particular situation that helps us all.
  9. Yeah, a very very very very thin layer over the studs (maybe .00003" thick) that is black..... that should be the answer, thanks Michael.
  10. But then, don't you see the STUDS (which are not black)?
  11. I think I understand now, the problem is the "reglet" is not recessed but flush with surface of wall.
  12. Michael, would you mind posting a plan using your technique. I have not been able to make it work. Thanks.
  13. That is the problem, the roof with the skylights is not square. Hey Curt, other than that issue, nice job..... I am not sure if I would of done it that way..... but next time I will.... thanks for the education....
  14. What is the lesson? Post the plan and you will get some great help from some great guys, and the Chopster is always very helpful. Thanks Chop.
  15. Yep, Michael is one of the best. but of course my client would say... "let's change that 4020 to a 5016 "........ and I would need to start the process over again..... point is, it would be great if CA fixed this lapse in their program.
  16. Why don't you post the plan? You have been around enough to know that is what you need to do.
  17. DJP is a Texan, but we do not hold that against him, he is a good guy.

    as you can see on this plan of mine, I am putting the roof ply/starter boards on the ROOF FINISH. I am still wondering where and why it should be at either the ROOF STRUCTURE or the ROOF FINISH/SURFACE.

    Eric, I noticed you put the ROOF PLYWOOD as part of the ROOF FINISH and not part of the ROOF STRUCTURE. I was thinking it made more sense to put the ROOF PLYWOOD as part of the ROOF STRUCTURE and not the ROOF FINISH. I am thinking of how the ROOF BASELINE is determined. What do you think...... I am not sold on any method yet..... I think it has a lot to do with the ROOF BASELINE ........ I have not done enough experimentation to make a final determination.
  22. Michael is one of the best. It is worth watching all of his vids.
  23. I assume this can be done with a custom symbol, but I ain't going to figure it out. The issue is you cannot OFFSET BOTTOM CORNERS. Something I have requested before. You can offset the top corners but not bottom corners.

    Maybe you need to download the materials to your library again.
