I used to run the CAD department and QA/QC of a panel factory and we had our own software. (Walplus from Mitek) No one ever gave us anything that was dimensioned to individual framing members. You’re a good man. The important part is stack framing from a single framing reference so that floor joists, wall studs, and any other items like ceiling joists or rafters are all in alignment so plumbing and other trades can transit vertically without issue.

Wow. The Leica is $700

My new M4 Max ($$) works great. Apple is finally getting into hardware driven PBR. I don't need renders but many seem to. Windows machines are still ahead on that for now, Good luck with your choice.

What about the truss vendor - they have actual truss design software.

Does it have to be a laptop? Good gaming rigs seem to work well. FalconNW https://www.falcon-nw.com/laptops/drx

W. WA state I know you didn't need Design Criteria, but here it is anyway...........it varies slightly by AHJ here (snow loads and seismic mostly)

Not sure what I am looking at in the material list

Sure

Short cut? This is something I run into all the time. People see the pretty 3D model and then balk at the additional expense (time) it takes to make a permit-ready plan set. DB is 100% correct. W. WA state has all kinds of requirements that Pinedale, WY does not. Good luck

X16 No issues (M1 max MBP) X17 Enable Full Disk Access....no issues Tahoe works fine

Yep.....Tech support had me check some things.....and Full Disk Access was not enabled. It works now..............big thanks to the tech guys and Devin Turner for the win.
