Michael's works, I just tested it, point the leader line to the wall in plan view

did you try %upper_layers[3].area/length% it does assume your third layer in is framing

i think because there can be pony walls, there is no "guranteed" way but I could be wrong. if you run object_properties against the wall you get per below. so if you can find it in there you can just use the property, but if i remember, it is not there. I think you could try the lumber area divided by the length but I'm not sure it works in all cases area --------------------------- 317.884566 sq ft length --------------------------------- 419.476541 in Doing the math from the above it gives 109.125, which is what I have, I'm just not sure it works in all case. put the following in your text box connected with a leadr line to the wall %upper_layers[3].area/length% (it shows area in sq ft below, but if you do it like above it reports in sq in) angle ---------------------------------- 89.99999999999999 ----------------- Float

nice tip, i usually sit there adjusting the z. this is much better

Can you change the batt size to be 1 sq ft?

if you move the wall divider which goes across, down, and then move the left wall divider down (it will drag the actual wall with it) and then move the actual wall back, it will work, but it is not perfect

the room divider overlaps the siding:

when trying to align the basement walls to the main floor i get this error

maybe post the plan

100cm IS 1000mm

i was at the computer store Friday and they had two 3080s for sale. They had a cute sign though. number of days since I was asked if we had 3080 cards 0 https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00117382

is that a 3d CA plant on top of the cabinet?

I believe it is more like this: ground is earthen ground.

per NBC illustrated guide: NBC Subsection 9.10.15. uses the term “glazed opening.” Glazed openings include windows and glazed portions of doors. The area of glazed openings is measured to the rough opening of the window or door, not to the edges of the glazing. The City here allows the use of the CA window size as opposed to the RO The City here also has a variance for zero lot line. A variance here is a variance to the code which is issued by the respective authority: https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/building/variances/advisory-zero-lot-line-variance.pdf ) One - Two Storey House - No glazed openings or unprotected mechanical openings are permitted on the exposing building face at 0m limiting distance. At 1.5m limiting distance, a maximum glazed opening area of 7% of the exposing building face measured from grade to the underside of the uppermost ceiling is permitted. No individual opening is to exceed 3.5% of the exposing building face. I added a calc for the last one, basically determines if a window exceeds 3.5% of the building face. It does not matter how far from the PL this is, the elevation facing the neighbors blank wall on the PL cannot have a window exceeding 3.5%

you have to build trusses. there are none there, see solver's video to check for them An ugly way....:Turn your all layers on set. You will see the rafters. Click Build-Framing-Roof Truss draw from top to bottom on right most rafter. then select the truss and multiple copy to the left.. Delete ridge rafter There is a video on trusses by CA one item from my "one note" on trusses. you may need to rebuild the truss after altering the room or roof plane,do this by selecting the truss, open up the dialog, check Force truss rebuild

are you pressing the auto exterior dimension after you put in the p2p dimension, or are you suggesting you go to another view and come back and now they are gone? I use a separate dimension layer for dimensioning foundations. i auto do them first and then manipulate the auto line to be where I want or p2p it. I have never seen the p2p vanish

couldn't agree more. every once in a awhile I catch myself trying to put leader lines on layouts when some funky looking font size shows up. then I remember oops I'm on layout, need to go back to plan

I recall him saying it in a video that he chose to do it that way (callouts on layout for elevations). annotating elevations is a different story. but I was more commenting that some things other than just the page details should perhaps be on layout. If you look at brekenridge layout, all the descriptions are on the layout. see below. callous for the kitchen elevations are all on layout. same with description and scale I followed him and my template has these pre done(below). I have a global variable for elevation scale and global variable for plan scale, which then takes care of most use cases. The advantage I see is that you can see the placement in layout easer relative to others on the same page. As well, you never have to change the font scale.

i think Scott h uses callouts and scale descriptions on the layouts in his demo videos, which I have followed and am happy with it as they never need to be resized

you can also get a low headroom kit for overhead openers. I just built a garage with 10" headroom. i had both the wall mount and overhead quoted . overhead was $500 cheaper. And you can see why, the overhead openers which go on sale all the time are $275 with wifi (chamberlain), but the wall mounts seem to be $700

it is not always the case with p2p. if p2p snaps to an object, then you can select that object and then click on the dimension number to change. You have to be careful where it is snapping to, drywall vs stud. It is one reason why I use p2p a lot as it works in both cases (snapping and point marker). For me, I only really every use p2p, auto exterior and interior dimension tools... and storey pole. of course I also create new dimensions, delete dimensions from the auto exterior to suite my needs

if you are dimensioning to nothing(which looks like you are on the left), it will put a point marker there. To change the dimension you have to click on the point marker then the dimension number this was very frustraing for me as well until i figured it out. it is still difficult if the dimension is small

what do you mean, I am not comprehending for something like the footing

but you could put in the disclaimer on the drawings and as part of the contract. I have a "structural details incl post/beam/footing to be TBD by structural engineer" then people ask "do I have to" then I say, not required by law but you may wish to for peace of mind.

i get both, externally drawn and stamped, and my drawings stamped. I prefer my drawings as I will put in more details. If not required by law to stamp, then the famous "errors and omissions" clause applies. Most plans here do not require a stamp except tall walls, and the engineer will sometimes limit his scope to the tall wall anyway. floor/truss guys do the floor/trusses, point loads I see a bit of a gap in that the engineer does not always check that, for instance the footing and column in my drawing are sufficient for the point load in the floor guy's drawing.
