When setting up the default windows put this in the label box.

If you have a thin paint layer on the wall it won't wrap. Add the jamb back on there and make it a thin paint layer as well.

Change the label to say what you need it say and then add that column in the schedule. EDIT: I forgot to change the type from lumber to Eng or LVL, but you can change those as well for the schedule.

For the large multiple ply beam, draw them to size ie...(3) 1-3/4" x 14" I draw as a 5-1/4"x14" Beam and the schedule will be correct.

Make it a "room" so that framing member heights and roof/ceiling heights are easier to handle. Other than that, model it just like you intend to build it.

They aren't technically framing members. Turn on the layer for Walls, Railings

I think PBR has a limit if 8 lights by default. You have exceeded that number which is why the other under-counter lights are not on. Increase the number of lights to 40 and they will be on. Try this video for some settings and ideas. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/6155/clay-rendering-real-time-ray-tracing.html?playlist=102 BTW, my current graphics card (Nvidia GTX 750 Ti) also doesn't support real time raytrace, but the setting helped me get to PBR rendering I am sharing here.

Chief does some of that now. I have Twinmotion and use it from time to time. Very easy export from Chief right into TM for renderings. I will attach a couple of TM renderings for example, and these are with me opening TM and knowing hardly anything about it. When you said you are not paying for SSA any longer, I thought that meant you had found a software that does all the things you described. What software are you looking at that does all those things, is as user friendly as Chief, and doesn't cost $5K/year? Bear in mind, I am not defending the direction of Chief, I am genuinely curious about what is out there that could give me the ease of Chief, with the cost, and that will do all those things.

How about a logo? She still looks fantastic, I however...well..... BTW. We have never visited Idaho and are thinking of coming to the UG meeting this year. Do other spouses come along?

If you are using a manufactures drawer front, you need to check the specs of that manufacturer to see how small the drawer front can be to maintain the rails before their "alternate drawer front" kicks in.

Because the drawer on the left is too small for the top and bottom rails to be visible.

@Jwaltonwhat software have you found that does all things you listed above? What is the cost of it?

Check availability before you spec those. Last time I needed them for a project we were out of luck.

It's the roof baseline. Just turn off that layer.

I use "L" for lights when doing electrical plans and SHIFT + L for the line tool. I don't have an issue. I also use W+E for exterior walls and W+I for interior walls. Again, No issues. Did I get lucky?

I would building those with cabinets with the countertop being the tread so that the decorative panels can be more easily added.

Use the ceiling plane tool or add a floor above the basement.

The side gable should follow that front wall under the porch. That would create the return you are looking for.

While I agree it should give more insight, did you select to move the item and then enter the absolute coordinates of 0,0 so that it would move it into the field of view? And if so, was the item highlighted (selected) when it arrived at 0,0?

In the IRC look in section R502. For the I-joists look in the manufacturers literature for the end bearing requirement.

Bill I'm going to give you my email joeymdp@gmail.com I work with a builder in Jacksonville that have an engineer we work with, let me see how backed up they are. Last house we did took a couple months though.

That should never be a consideration. Trusting someone with a measuring tape on a job site is asking to get sued. My plans contain a note that states printed dimensions override anyone's tape measure. 3/16" is an acceptable scale for residential plans.

I have an Epson WF 7610 that will print up to 12x18 which is perfect for this.

Don't need multiple plans? We can schedule one off builders sets as well. Let's have a chat! Shoot me an email and I will get you a sample set of plans. joeymdp@gmail.com
