Hi, More questions on this roof structure ... 1. The ridge for some reason has two extra members that bump up higher than the roof plane?? 2. Why the perpendicular blocking - seems to run a about 10'; I can't figure out why it's there. thanks, Skip Townsend - 5.3 - Copy.zip

Thank you, appreciate the effort. I wouldn't have figured that one out!

Okay, thanks. That seemed to work for me but not the first time; I had to keep moving the roof on the front and back in & out. Finally it worked. Weird. thanks, Skip

Thank you.

Hi, Any idea why the poche is not showing in the 2nd floor crossection floor framing? Thanks, Skip

Hi, I have three issues with the attached plan. I've attached the plan. 1. Roof framing - the rafters re ommitted over a part of the roof. The rafters are showing fine on another part of the same roof plane. 2. Floor blocking is not showing, thought the plywood that sits directly on top of it is showing??? 3. Why is plywood strips showing on top of all the floor joists? Thanks, Skip Townsend - 5.3 - Copy.zip

Hi Basketballman We are a Design Build firm in, Massachusetts. We use CA extensively, Version 15. I am looking for a skilled CA person to help with permit and construction drafting. We develop the concepts so that’s not really part of it, and for the most part we don’t need heavy-duty graphics, video walkthrough, etc. since by the time the project gets to you it’s already sold. That said, if one of us is struggling with a particular model we’d like to have someone we can reach out to for help. I do use the forums which are great, but I don’t always have the time to figure stuff out for myself. Is this something you might be interested in? Please let me know. Thanks, George I can be reached by cell at 508-776-1460.

Got it, thanks. I stopped at 'fir framing', missed the 'type' option below. appreciate it.

Good idea. Here's the zipped file. I did re-build the framing prior to my question to no avail. thanks, Skip Angel - 3.0 - Copy.zip

Hi All, For some reason my plans are showing I joists where I want lumber joists showing. Everywhere I look in preferences, etc., lumber is the listed. I can't figure why this is. Seems i've had this issue before but have been able to figure it out but can't remember how. Thanks for any suggestions. Skip X15

Good Evening, I am moving an existing building on a lot. I have fully developed the existing terrain (it's slopes), and have also fully developed the existing structure. The project now involves literally picking up structure and relocating it on the lot. QUESTION - is it better to selected the structure and move it on the lot (like we do in real life), or am i better off shifting the terrain under the building. For this exercise I've done it both ways, and while both are easy tasks and seem to work without issue, I am getting slightly different results in how the slope lot 'hits' the building. The 'Subfloor above terrain' dimension isn't changing in the dialogue box. Any thoughts? thanks, Skip X14

Thank you. Appreciate it!

Hi All, Is it possibe to copy terrain from one plan to another? Along with elevation data, features, etc.? thanks Skip

Hi, Is there a simple (ie, automatic) method of creating an open stair case that has a low curb in liue of open end treads? The ballusters would to to the top of the sloped curb rather than the stair treads themselves. In the image below I cut & shaped the wall but I imagine there's a better approach that would show it correctly, including the ballusters, railing and newel. thanks in advance, Skip Marcille - 1.1.zip
