  1. I'm currently designing a home for a client and we are using roofs that range from 2:12 to 3:12.  I've not worked with these types of roofs in the past and my concern is properly venting the roof.  Does anyone have any insight or section drawings that can help me understand how to effectively make these areas work.

     

    Appreciate all the help.

  2. The exterior housing is what we use.  Often times it's connected to a copper supply which slides into the wall and the connection is made in the basement.  I was just giving an example of the actual exterior valve I'm looking for.

     

    Unfortunately I don't know anyone using Revit.

  3. I’m venturing into going extreme green here in northwest Indiana. Since we are still using the archaic 2005 IBC, does anyone have any insight into LEED sections for single family?

     

    Does anyone build in an area such as California or design LEED homes?  Could use some insight into how detailed your sections are. My verifier won’t give me any insight and utilizes my sections to score the house. 

     

    Any  help is appreciated. 

  4. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot but does anyone have any insight into spiral stairs.  I'm working on a project that I want to put a set of spiral stairs leading from the main floor deck to the lower level walk-out.  Customer doesn't want traditional stairs due to their size and they don't want to ruin the look.  I've looked through tutorials but mostly talks about using the 3D spiral set in the catalog.

     

    Thanks for the help or information.

  5. I don't like the Gable Accents Chief includes.  Can I get someone to build me a version of this that I can adjust manually for different gables?  I build these onsite without the 2x materials.  Just the lower portion.

     

    Thanks for the help.

  6. I have made almost every adjustment I can think of besides for drawing the soffits manually to get the soffit panel to sit inside the fly rafter underside.  Please look at the attached image and see if anyone has had this problem and / or knows how to rectify.

     

    Thanks for the help.

  7. My Design-Build firm has grown and I'm looking to add another full-time designer.  I've seen people in the past ask this forum but everyone seems to work for themselves so I'd like to see if you know if any colleges, universities, or tech schools are teaching design with Chief?

     

    Thanks for the help.
