  1. You might need to check the furred wall box in the 2x4 wall so it can exist close to your conc. wall.

    Your zipped file only contains the layout file....which is blank.

  2. I guess what I’m saying is you have not provided enough information for someone to accurately build this. You need to have elevations that show the height of things, if the stairs are drawn correctly then you can at least assume that each riser is somewhere between 7 inches and seven and three-quarter inches so you might be able to figure out floor to floor height.
     

    Ask Dan Baumann directly. He’s pretty good.

     

    The regulars that come in here offering their services to every single posting seem desperate to me.

     

    Now I’m waiting for my red down thumb icon.

     

    good luck

  3. Use the files to trace the walls into chief.

    The two files seem the same........

     

     

    • How tall are the ceilings?
    • what is the finished floor to floor height to confirm the stairs?
    • Some of the walls range from 12" thick to 19" thick...........

     

    Someone will come along and send you a private message to discuss how much money they will need to solve this for you.

    There are many questions and unknowns so it could get expensive.

     

    Just putting a nice roof line on this (12:12 stick framed) will be challenging.

     

    Good luck.

  4. I do the same except I skip the hyphen. 
     

    The county I live in wants the entire PDF plan resubmitted if there are changes.

     

    But I have had other jurisdictions want just the sheet replaced that has any revisions. It’s in those cases that I add the .1  or .2  to the sheet number

     

     

    A8.1 revA

    A8.2 revB

     


     

     

  5. 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. 

  6. 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.

  7. 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)
