Dell owns Alienware If you earn a living from the computer (TOOL) then have one built. Puget Systems is great. It's still great for my wife's business.

I paid Alaskan Son to create the superscript option. He was fast and reasonable. It takes a modified font that he provides, I chose modified ARIAL. Then I set all my font type to ARIAL and the window and door openings to the modified ARIAL. Rene also provides this, I don't know if it is only in his plan template or can be sold as an individual item.

You can reposition the order in the schedule. The first column allows you to drag up or down and the label updates in the plan. I don't know about floor zero numbering.

Trusses are engineered by their design software. If this is stick framed with a structural (curved) ridge for a cathedral look..................it's all do-able but the cost just went up. Not just bending roof plywood or 1x8s, but the interior ceiling surfaces all have to be curved (unless flat ceilings) Crazy fun. If they have the $$$ and desire.......go for it!

Bob will be alnong soon. He seems pretty helpful.

I don’t use chief architects project management system. But yesterday I took all of my archived files which were in dropbox and moved them to two separate external drives so that I could minimize my 380 GB Dropbox folder. I had almost all of that archived set to online only, but I realized, why am I keeping these archived copies from X7 forward? I still don’t understand their project management enough that I would trust using it but some of you have been very successful with it so maybe one day I will take the plunge

Gene speaks truth. i would pass on framing that. Without flat roof planes, it won’t be able to be prescriptively designed and wait till you get the bill from a structural engineer. maybe they could 3-D print it out of a large scale plastic printer and just crane it into place

On a mac, the 3D mouse works amazingly well in Sketchup. In Chief....not so much.

That's called a prow over here

I use BCI all the time. Never seen ELEVEN AND ONE EIGHTH If that ever slipped through to the site.....it would be a pain. https://p.widencdn.net/wm6anc If you're correct, I will keep an eye out.

Where do they make/sell 11 ⅛" I-joists? I asked Grok

I PM'd you a dropbox link for the plan file. I hope it helps It's X17.......your sig block says X16.......that might be an issue. I didn't exactly match....like eyebrow roofs and the low pitched roofs were a guess. What a wild design. Good design always thinks roof as the walls are being placed. Best of luck with this one.

I don’t think I can get the roof to match the elevations 100% so I wouldn’t charge you anything. I look at it as a chief architect and bad Design challenge. If I can get something close, you might be able to be successful with it. Sometimes we just have to help each other out.

We framed them in Harris and Montgomery counties as sloped treys or just trey ceilings.

I need wall heights and corresponding pitches or there are too many variables.
