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.

X17 does not open on the full public release of macOS Tahoe. All my other software just works. I submitted a TT.

easy PE can specify a diaphragm ceiling...14" l/480 TJI 560s

You might get some ideas from this model......free SU can open it https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/frwnjkh8gsg1je8uizn6p/Garage-Model.skp?rlkey=sqqif892fhs51sacpra1m3mth&dl=0

Hey Henry, People on this site will show how to draw this detail......but you might have more interaction over at www.diychatroom.com

You should reach out to this guy for a more complex home style https://www.larrybelk.com/

Roof?

Just thought I'd try since the release version is only months away. It closes on launch. Now you know.....

My 2 cents. Keep the midspan beam but use continuous I-joists instead of lapped lumber. and your plan has nothing in it.

Your best COA is to post your plan so people can understand what you say you need.

I hop one license between my windows and mac and it's super easy. Chrisb222 nails it. On the chief website Go to License Management and "Deauthorize" your dead machine. Install Chief on your other machine and use your login "key" to authorize the new device.

Did you have that issue before rounding to ½"? I keep mine at 1/16th and force objects to move to the exact dimension I want. So far, the CAD obeys me.

calibz Multiple Meter Elec.calibz Let's hope I did this right

Here's the OBJ file6 meters.obj

Now if I could just share the plan with the original post member without sharing all the internals, like details from you and Dan embedded, then that member would be set. Yes........it's a nice slow day and I was fishing for something to help out with.

WOW!!! This rendering thing might just become fun for me. THANK YOU, Brother man. In Chief X17 above

Nice.......I will change the meters to clear glass.

There are dials on the meters...... It would be nice to see it the same in chief as in sketchup I don't do things in render to this level, but the OP probably wants more realism than the OBJ output. This is why I don't import 3D. I can just import a static screen shot from SU and it works for me

Here's the sketchup file https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/84btt6xcfuf0m764sum5d/Multiple-electrical-meters.skp?rlkey=uxa3j43aa3xfm9l4a1fyvhk84&dl=0

Yep....sketchup can do this, but exporting it to the correct format would be nice. I tried OBJ and lost all the resolution. SKETCHUP ABOVE CHIEF IMPORTED OBJ FILE Options to export from Sketchup
