I would first make sure you have room definition for the porch. May not be the problem but I would do that first.

I find a lot of surveys aren't right. I'm doing a remodel in which the survey provided to me was very old and couldn't be read. I had the owners get a new survey from the same company that did the original and found yesterday that it's way off. Off by a foot on one wall. 2.5' off on another wall and 6.5' off on another wall. These wall differences will make a difference on how the roof goes together. The owners are having them come out again ant try it once more. I usually get bad surveys about 4 times a year. Don't know how they get away with it. My site plan needs to match the survey pretty close, if not, the city may question my site plan.

I do as Joey does. I have my engineer place and size beams in markups. Then I place them in the plan.

Steve, I bought a lot of Jay's libraries back when we had .alb files for symbols. Throughout the years, I just brought them forward with each new version and still can use them...even in X12.

I have that library. Lots of symbols and easy to work with. Wasn't sure if Jay's symbols were still around. I have a lot of his other libraries too.

Take that wall type, copy it, change how you want, rename it. Now select the wall in the plan you want to change, assign that new wall type.

I have a last resort option but try Marks idea first.

If all else fails, you might need to edit the cad block and reassign the new cad block to the symbol.

Try changing the origins of the oven.

The one in the library doesn't cut a hole though in the ceiling.
-
For structural details like that, I always get a cad detail form my engineer. That detail could vary depending on the stairs.
-
I usually do cad lines for a reference.

I've done it but did it all manually.

I always have my engineer do wall loads.
-
Usually I can make the program do most of it but I always have to do some manual editing. I just expect it.

So, I'm not looking for a Pict of a range I'm looking for a "callout" like one would use for a light switch on a blueprint or floorplan.
Try turning on the fixture labels in layer display.

Try just keeping all plan files and layout files in the same job folder and see if that helps.

Pretty sure you can do it here but you can't make the upstairs be loft like with railing above looking down to the garage. We have to have a 20 minute fire-rated door (self-closing) that goes to the living space above. There would have to be an egress window upstairs (bedroom or not).

Marque select and block then add to library.
Exactly right. I have alot of notes that the city requires me to use in my plans...especially certain IRC notes.

No Room Definition didn't work but the make symbol worked after a few tries. Thanks!
To get this look, I would probably make a symbol of the railing. Recess the window and control/drag the symbol into the window.

You can look at my laptop specs below. Bought it in February of this year. Runs Chief just fine. I paid $1,500.00 after tax.

2x14 are pretty much a standard size here. I also use them for floor joists @ 24" o.c. when I attach to existing trusses and cut them off above for a new floor, b/c trusses are usually at 24" o.c. That way the ceiling gets to remain.
Have never seen 2x14 lumber here however I suppose you could special order anything but don't believe you'll find it in stock in Houston.
