Thanks Eric, I'll experiment with some of you suggestions.

Remembering Isn't that where you put a ceiling over a cripple wall?  This is a climate controlled self storage bldg where the individual units have a wire mesh for a ceiling.

Greg

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the shelf ceiling option?

I have pony walls inside a steel bldg that stop at 8ft with open ceiling above. I made the top of the pony walls 1/8 so they wouldn't cut in to the Ceiling a the roof deck when I do a floor camera view. These pony walls seem to work, except I have to setup the pony wall each time I draw a new wall. Is there an easier way?

The bolt are more likely to stay out of openings if we have the dimensions to the Jbolts on the foundation plan for the slab men. Experience tells me they get confused when adding up dimensions from the floor plan.

Greg

When dealing with uplifts, the location of all jbolts, each side all windows and doors, by all stud packs supporting beams, 8" from all corners is important to the foundation man to have.  If they had the program put a dot on the foundation automatically when placing openings and 8" from corners, it would be helpful so we could dimension  them for the foundation man.  I'm doing this manually now.  If you're on a coast like me its required on every building.

How can you open files from the versions that had pl1 & pl2 files?

Greg

I did find it under Ext Millwork. Odd place for it, I guess they couldn't find an appropriate place.

Thank for the quick responses.

Where are the drives and walks located in the material list?
