If the deck was built on the first floor, you'll probably need to go to the foundation level to see the framing.

Who bears responsibility for a code violation?
tommy1 replied to GeneDavis's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
On a personal note, I NEVER let a final plan get to a contractor or homeowner if there is a water trap. I make a roof design change or a cricket where necessary period. I have never missed seeing a water trap yet. Yes, the general contractor or roofing contractor should have caught this...especially the roofing contractor. Poor initial design work from the drafter. P.S. In the past, I have had homeowners come to me that fired an Architect for taking too long on a project or not responding to them in a timely manner. When I get the plan, I've found a couple of times that the roof didn't even work as drawn. Amazing. -
Electrical Outlets display on Wall Framing Details
tommy1 replied to BDG2244's topic in General Q & A
Here is a work around option if it would help. Once you have your electrical done, make a copy of the plan. Open the copy and change the wall types to not have drywall. Be sure to frame the wall or walls. Take a render or elevation and see what you get. My image is an elevation. -
and the .Plan in the file name.

I believe Robert is correct. Get rid of all text and numbers that are after the .plan

Doug, post your plan and someone will be able to help you.

It's also very easy to make yourself using solids.

I'm still looking for someone in the Houston area to refer work to. Must be a resident here.

In X12, you'll need to do this with either a roof plane or a ceiling plane. In order to use a ceiling plane, you'll need to have a roof above it and remove the ceiling.

Not sure about commercial though. I don't do commercial.

I don't think the amount of driveways is the issue. I can do 3 driveways on a terrain, and it cuts the curb just fine in all three driveways. Be sure you're using the driveway tool, not a driveway polyline. I'm in X12 though. It might be different in your version.

Try going to Preferences>Architectural>Roofs>place a check in the box for Automatically place roof intersection points.
