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.

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

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

I worked with a draftsmen to get the plans drawn up but it was a very painful and unpleasant process. He had great reviews but the more I look back at it all of the designs he did were very basic rectangular and square houses, nothing with more than 2-4 roof plans. I will work on blocking out all of my personal information on the plans and upload them.
but I worked with another draftsmen to get the plans fixed and that’s when he started building them on Chief Architect and let me know that the roof layout plan was incorrect and it wasn’t right
I know how to build a cricket in real life but not in this application, but after looking at your picture where you have one near the end of the gable soffit i will learn.
You should reach out to this guy for a more complex home style

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.

Dimensioning wall frame details: why won't end to end dimensioning work everywhere?
in General Q & A
Posted · Edited by para-CAD
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.
