BeamChek 2024. Been around a long time. Inexpensive one time purchase. Constant updates. Does wood (many species) wet, repetitive member, Glulam, LVL Micros, Steel. Lets you set your own values Fb, Fc, E etc. etc. And offers several variants to select on the calcs so you can see actual % shear, depth of deflection and so on. Does col., notches, hips, valleys.... Never let me down. Submit calcs to structural if necessary and PE just comes back with some options if we want to consider. If you could take the model, allow user introduced values (30PSF, 40PSF, linears on partitions , stone veneers, snow loads etc.) and have the model show loads, tributaries, points, reactions etc. in the model - Now that would be AMAZING!!

Before putting the sink in a cabinet / countertop place without cabinet and put on a new layer. In the view you're in go to the layer set and make sure it's turned on. Check the fixture for height above the floor and make sure it is above the finish floor for the floor you want - slab for basement, 1 for framing overlay etc. - Should show up for you.

Hi Caitlin, My apologies to you and all of your country. We are trying. There is a control to turn line weights on and off under tools as well as a toolbar icon like Shane said. There is a control for print preview under file > print and an icon as well. Both will turn them on and off while drawing. again, sincerest apologies

Sometimes it's just easier to set the limit on the decking with the straight deck edge and build the rest. Once you make the pieces, copy / paste and the exact placement tools make it fairly simple. You can adjust the grain in plan materials - copy>edit>rename. Change the angle to what you need in pattern And texture.

That's just weird. It'll allow the change to the reveal but not the drawer. Sounds like suggestion fodder.

Caitlin, What's your dimension default set to? I have found it will over ride many of the other functions. Try setting that to 1/64 or even 1/128. It can make layouts a little annoying so I'll switch back and forth.

signed an Imperial loving Canadian Despite all the BS - Luv ya Canada......eh Can you just open the dimension defaults and set your secondary format to metric? Or just copy your template and set the primary to metric if you don't want both.

More specifically it's Dutch Colonial. Very common in the Caribbean. It would be reasonably easy with poly line solids. If you need the properties provided by the wall use an attic wall behind or use an invisible wall and overlay it.

In defaults>floors & rooms> room labels>text style - change to custom text and check rotate with plan. For correcting without resetting all - group select (either similar items or by CTRL individually select> open transform / replicate and rotate 90° - you'll probably need to adjust location with this one. Hope that helps

Ditto what Susan says. The immediate problem is in the terrain spec. EVErything is based off first floor. You can adjust the height of terrain below the first floor subfloor in the terrain specification. Yours's appears to be at the default. Bringing grade to the door sill without a stoop would require alternate construction technique such as reverse brick ledge or joists hung inside the foundation. Many jurisdictions require an impervious pad outside the door.

Sorry - make your stack bond here
