Steve Thx for the nugget on walls through ceilings.

I had a bit of time today. I finished tracing the Wolf Poly ash trims we use on our jobs. I have been experimenting with placing flashing on the stacks. Mixed results. See attched jpg POLY ASH TRIM.calibz

Thank you for this simplistic explanation of Macros and providing me with a basic understanding.

2nd the g602. Its a great design and super comfortable.

We are using wolf polyash trims for our lintel. Made of 4 pieces. Grab the pdf from wolf trace over them in cad add them to your library and you can stack them up how you need them. Pm me I will send what I have sketched up.

I have been working around this problem with molding lines. In the effort to increase efficiency i trying to allow roof planes to manage the frieze. I am encountering the attached issue. Condition is to keep the overhangs the same depth and align the frieze. This is the issue on a small scale. I have larger plans that i wish to resolve on. x12 frieze issue.zip

Good evening all. I am usually lurking hardly post., this thread however piques my interest. 30 plus years designing and working in the field. About to wrap up the house i have attached the roof system for. This design was priced for trusses. It would not provide the client with what they desired within budgetary constraints. Mainly a non usable 3rd floor for double the money. I believe with careful planning and an understanding of point load transfers you can stick frame most roof systems. This home was designed so the load paths are pretty much not interrupted all the way to the ground. If you do not have confidence in the team you are using in the field to accomplish the task you need to find another team. Through out our industry everyone has become specialized. The term builder use to mean someone who could not only manage the job but could perform almost all the tasks. Today builder is the guy on the cell phone that only knows who to call. Those of us work in the field and behind the computer have an advantage we get to see if it worked or get to fix it if it doesn't. Stick has its place trusses have there place. Confident people in the field can make either work.

Michael Michael Thx!!! I started with Chief architect version 98 not 9.8. it was on a 286 processor. I did enough jobs over the years but just enough to get by for what i needed . The older the body the more I do this. You guys have been a vast wealth of knowledge and efficiency Many thanx to all of you. .

Thanks mark

That works!! Thank Eric

I did a search and all i come up with is doing it manually. Am i missing something. I would like to create the actual on the drawing . I have moved up to x10b

Joseph Will it work on x10? Thx for the heads up. Anthony

See the attached photo Mick's Suggestion. I am trying to show the Floor joist with lengths assigned. I am till getting a decimal return.

Thank You Eric!!!! I will incorporate!!! Seems there should be a setting that allows you to change the format without a macro.

From decimal to x' y 1/2" my default is in decimal inches. I cannot find the DBX to change it.

Good morning all. I need some assistance in formatting my label dimensions. I want to go from this to feet and inches(not decimal) I have searched the videos and no avail. TIA Anthony Hayes
