Nope. Unless you are state licensed as an architect or structural engineer, you have no "stamping" privileges. However...there are a number of jurisdictions, including HUD I think, that recognize the CPBD designation you can obtaining via the AIBD and NCBDC.

More info needed.

I believe you will need to add those custom fields and input the info when you place the cabinets.

I would start here... so that you can do windows that are the same size all at once. If you have a few different sizes, you may have to choose those all together by size. For example..the window I show as selected I can choose to find all that match the width and height, and I usually add layer as well, and I can change all those ROs at the same time.

Look at the 3D objects first. Many of the items from Google Wearhouse, for instance, can have a really high face count which is taxing on the system.

If you already have notes you want to keep on the current foundation, hold shift and select them all (there is a tool for this as well) now you can copy them. Once you build the new foundation, or auto build it, you can paste in place all the notes and such you copied.

I hope that I am missing something in your explanation. What does AutoCAD, Chief, or any other software have to do with architecture school? Granted it's been 30 years since I finished arch school, but then AutoCAD was an "elective" and not very highly attended. I'm sure...30 years later...that working with software is a part of the curriculum now, but my guess is it's a very small part. An education in architecture has very, very little to do with "drawing plans". In fact, 5 years ago I had an intern from an arch school in Michigan come home for the summer and work in my office as he was about to graduate with his B.A. and he had never put together a full set of construction documents. His school used the philosophy that the firm(s) he worked for would teach him that information. Perhaps you need to look at a Tech School or Community College for drafting classes, and go ahead and learn AutoCAD...it couldn't hurt...but if you are only looking to "stamp" plans, you are being naive as to what you are going to have to go through. Do you have any college credits heading in? If not, you are going to spend a couple years go through all the freshman and soph college classes before entering "architecture school". My opinion. This is wrong on so many levels.

Just open the schedule and use the label as the identifier.

Unless that is a window down there and not a panel. Otherwise as others have suggested, you will need to stack 2 window, or use a custom muntin.

Use a door..not a window and you can adjust the size of the frame.

Just click in the room to select the room. You can also select that line in the schedule, and look down in the toolbar for "open item" tool that will open the room you selected.

Select the roof at the valley, hit 2 on the keyboard, and then select the roof edge of the main roof you want it connected to and it will connect. Do that for both sides.

Unless I spec a specific model and style. Sometimes it matters. When I do a custom home I spec a lot of fixtures and finishes. No sense in letting someone else rack up those fees...that's what they come to me for.

Also check your wall definitions to make sure you havent set the main/dim layer as the sheetrock/

I tried them for a project...didn't work for me.

back to @decorators3 question. Why the large pantry? I hate to see clients pay to heat and cool large closets and storage spaces. That staircase could easily fit back in there what you had it.

Yes it does. I didn't mean to make it sound like we are building from napkin sketches, even the smaller jurisdiction I work in will ask for plans. The difference is, they don't get kick back for revision upon revision because one examiner interprets a code different than another. I can go from printer, to building office, to job site in less than 5 business days. That makes everyone happy!

@Doug_N I'm glad I work where I do then...none of those items would apply to the great state of Indiana!

I don't think, in all 15 of my years with Chief, that I have not used the reverse plan tool. There will be some text items that need fixed, and you will need to make a couple adjustments with elevation and section cameras. Not sure what happens with a line and edit area tool.

^^What Joe said^^ and if that isn't working then you have a wall set as no room definition or the deck should simply build.

With Auto Roofs on, select the wall and set the pitches and distances.

Yes...inquiring minds want to know.

yep..yep..

That's just a regular full height cabinet turned 45 degrees.
