  1. Yoda sells a whole Chief StreamDeck system. I lean on StreamDeck for speed 13 mins in gets good
  2. Barry Connolly - First Line Design. He's in King County I'm not local but across the sound in Kitsap County
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. Oh boo hoo. Larry has been designing amazing homes for over 50 years. I doubt many can keep up with him.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. Bob, I love your energy but she asked for an Idaho based architect.
  9. Reach out to Larry Belk. He designs big custom homes. https://www.larrybelk.com
  10. 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.

  12. 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.
  13. What about the truss vendor - they have actual truss design software.
  14. Does it have to be a laptop? Good gaming rigs seem to work well. FalconNW https://www.falcon-nw.com/laptops/drx
  15. 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)
  16. Not sure what I am looking at in the material list
  17. 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
  18. X16 No issues (M1 max MBP) X17 Enable Full Disk Access....no issues Tahoe works fine
  19. 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.
