Remove all jamb, casing, etc and the brick should wrap.

As said, if auto foundation is on all the manually work would be deleted everything the foundation "re-builds".

No solution needed. Once you start to manually draw on the foundation level the auto feature should turn off.

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

Much, if not all of that information is in the Matterport. @anamariadesigns if you don't have anyone yet, send me the link to your Matterport and I will have my draftsman take a look. We pull remodel plans from our Matterport scans in the normal course of our remodel business.

Thanks Joey. Then there must be a way to reference both of them in layout?

Yep. No limit to the number of plan files in your layouts. 

Draw your existing plan, Save As to create your proposed plan, once you have everything designed and client approved, go back and make your existing plan the EXTG/DEMO Plan.

I use a system for my Layout Page Labels that's pretty simple:

• G-#  (General)
• A-#  (Architectural)
• S-#  (Structural)
• M-#  (Mechanical)
• E-#  (Electrical)
• P-#  (Plumbing)

If you use a different system (sub categories, etc) please post yours & explain why.

Same. I have

G-# Cover Page, General Notes/Specs

C-# Civil (Site, Grading, Landscape, etc.)

D-# Demo/Existing Pages

I-# Interior Design Pages (the IDs use them)

U-# User Added (Any special items like appliance specs or similar)

As an aside...that upper looks like a full overlay door, ensure you have a filler at the wall so that the door opens properly.

Hi Joey,

Are those really the current code years?

 

btw, My grandfather was a Blacksmith and Buggy maker in Ft Wayne (1895-1935)

Yes Sir. Until 2020 we we're still using the 2013 IRC and 2015 IBC. I believe the 2020 Indiana Residential Code was the first year we actually referenced a State code for residential construction.

Have you created a second level?

I knew I could count on you Joey... Any idea why my sill plate is not showing up and is only 3/4" gap?

Not without your plan file. It could be your SILL PLATE default is overriding the setting you are showing above, or a framing setting is throwing something off. I've not seen this situation before.

The 3/4" gap is because you have the sub-floor layer checked as framing, uncheck that box. As for the sill plate, that setting looks off as well and is found in the foundation ddx.

Just use the fence tool and adjust it to what you want.

Hmm...I think you are mistaken. I have different anno sets for all scales. Select new CAD detail, set the anno(default)set, and go to work...

Can you send me the file to have a look?

Open the floor dialog box and delete the sub-floor layer, then change the framing layer to 4" and concrete, uncheck the framing box. That's it, don't overthink it.

This may work. You can use the free version of Sketchup to add more meter sockets?

Nice info here but as a single user, I just don't need it and will turn it off for now.

Even in my office of 10 designers we don't use it. I may play around with it when I get time, but all the exporting/importing is a no go for us.

That is because when you created the wall for the pass-thru you created a room the tub is sitting in and now that "room" is not visable. Make the wall "NO ROOM DEFINITION" and what's behind it will show.

Check the size of the SUB FASCIA. It's too small causing the fascia to be cut at that size.
