When I looked at your latest model, I would agree, you are a pro.

You explained yourself very well the first time. For some reason you did not listen to the answers.

Ok Chop, how did you do it?. 3 walls? Is it easy to control the radius? It looks like too large of a diameter to be a true bullnose corner.

My take on this is if you are a professional, get the full blown version. The amount of money you are saving selecting the dumbed down version, is quickly lost when you run into a situation that will not work with the the dumbed down version. Your time is valuable. Get the pro version... in no time you would of made your money back in spades.

I swear, it just cracks me up, why don't you make it easy on people and post a plan with a note explaining your issue. I don't even know why I am responding to such an inane post by you. It just cracks me up... sorry for the rant, but you are wasting people's time .

Main layer definition ?

Those are topo lines.

Is that supporting a 10' floor load or a 30' floor load and is there a roof bearing on the wall and is the roof a 10' roof load or a 30' truss roof load and do you have a snow load on the roof and are you thinking of using #2 lumber or #1 lumber? Oh heck, throw a 4x10 in there, that should work.

You must be on the West Coast..... Perth?

I set a date for the workshop... see thread below https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/10651-the-jpcgraeme-floor-level-workshop-wednesday-aug24-at-400-pm-pst/

THE JPC/GRAEME Floor Level Workshop Wednesday Aug.24 at 4:00 PM PST...... which is Thursday Aug. 25th at 9:00 AM for the folks down South I will host a workshop via GOTOMEETING discussing FLOOR LEVELS........ (somehow we have to get JPC up to speed). We will be discussing floor levels and how changing the floor level at level 1 can change ceiling heights above etc. This has been an issue with quite a few users. We can also discuss walk-out basement issues.... why put them on level 1 vs level 0. If you are attending, please have a plan ready with questions and issues so that we may discuss. If you have headphones and speaker that would be great... if you don't, somehow it has not been an issue lately..... but better off safe than sorry so go buy some headphones with a mic with a self muting switch. If you are interested, please send me an email at dscotthall@mac.com. If your name is below, I have your email, if your name is not below, I do not have have your email and you need to send it to me (Northriver Jeff & Rob Littleton.) ATTENDEES: dsh, Perry the Slab Man, The Great Glenn Woodward, Larry "The Surfer" Hawes, JPC "He who would be late to his own wedding", JB "The Mad Baehmer" who will help JPC get on line, "New York Greg", Francois (who let a Frenchmen in?), Graeme "I don't work the weekends" Taylor, Richard "The Canuck" Martin, Jon Scussel, Chopsaw, Alan "The funniest man on CA" Lehman, Kurt C., Mark McA, Mon Cherie, Paramount, David Zawadzki, Jeff "Northriver", Moe G., Rich Windsor, Scott H., Sales, The Curmudgeon, 24 (guys who might out.... Alan L., )

Okay guys, there seems to be some interest in this. I will schedule a workshop for a Wednesday at 4:00 PM PST which would be Thursday 9:00 AM for those folks down South, or I will schedule it for a Friday at 4:00 PM PST which would be Saturday 9:00 AM for those folks down South. It is tough finding a time that works for everybody. Thank goodness I am not trying to satisfy any Europeans. Graeme, what works for you?

Good post, thank you.

You know what JPC, I would be interested in hosting a FLOOR ELEVATION workshop if there was enough interest. Some how I seem to get through it.... not to imply that I don't have issues occasionally. The reason I would host it is to see if I can solve what ever issues you or anybody else has. I get it... there is some confusion/irrational CA behaviors, but I cannot quite put my finger on the problem yet. Whhhoooooooaaaaaaaaaa, is this the JPC that never shows up for the workshops?

Not me, I paint exterior walls. I understand that some users have issues, but I have an anti issue cosmic shield surrounding my personal space, so no problems here....... not yet anyway.

Nice job J & J. Good solutions.

Material eyedropper...... I think this will take about 9.43 seconds, Alan's method probably takes 10.68 seconds, I would definitely use my method.

That is the way I thought it worked........ Maybe I am doing something wrong. I can get the footing to do down, but I can't get it to come back up. https://youtu.be/yBUXHxw1_XY

No, that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the upper floor level to SIT ON STEM WALL, NOT HANG. That is not what you show. You show the upper floor HANGING OFF OF STEM WALL.

Here is a situation that is auto. But wait, I would prefer the upper floor to SIT ON STEM WALL................. as shown, the upper floor HANGS ON STEM WALL. I would like to have an option that the lower floor HANGS ON STEM WALL and the upper floor SITS ON STEM WALL. As it is now, both floors HANG off of the stem wall.

Another great comment.

I hate to admit this, but I did not fully understand this. Thank you Richard for the vid. I agree with Richard, it seems like the bottom of the footing should remain static. If I change the elevation of the floor, why would I want the elevation of the bottom of the footing to change in elevation? I want the bottom of the footing to remain static and defined by the depth of footing relative to whatever floor elevation I have defined for level zero. IOW, the height of the stem wall is defined by the defined floor level of level zero and the level of the floor at level one. This should take precedence over whatever I had defined the stem wall height to be.

Glenn, I think the answer is yes. However, I think it is difficult to control the angle displacement of the spherical backdrop. Go ahead and give a play, look at it and now see if you can rorate the backdrop 90 degrees. With Joe's method, it seems it would be very easy to rotate the cylinder 90 degrees.

Yes, thanks for your time Joe.

You are not losing it, you are not listening. Tech says it is normal behavior, I say it is normal behavior. It is behaving as it is programmed. But what I am saying is, this is not good behavior, I agree with you, it should be changed to how you and I think it should behave.
