when i drag a deck railing in plan views and do a crosssection elevation camera i can not get all the dimension tools to work ! Are there only some tools that work in that view ? Also it wont show all the elevation cameras & there numbers

I wanted to try & draw it manually to become more familar with the dimension tools & transform replicate & multi copy tools . After following SOLVERS post i managed to get them spaced properly but cant get the running dim . or baseline dim . to display . the point to point tool worked but not the other 2 I drew a railing wall , 6'6 " entered all the dim in the spec box , then used a cross / sec . elevation camera to view it . I cant figure out why they wont display

in plan view when i drag the elevation camera towards the plan , i get one marker saying elevation 1 & it stays on the plan view , however when i try for a diffrent elevation view at a diffrent point it does say elevation # 2 but the elevation # 2 camera does not stay on the plan I have looked at most of the settings but can not seem to find where i might set that camera view # 2 to show on the plan view

Never heard that term before , however there are so many items that have diffrent wording , which can be very annoying , especially when you are searching . If the stair stringer is smaller then a 2x12 & the rise is to large , that would make the stair carriage ( NEW TERM LOL ) not wide enough or strong enough THERE IS A SECTION IN THE IRC CODE ABOUT THAT .
Plus i wouldnt agree with that term stair carriage IT SHOULD BE CALLED STRINGER CARRIAGE imo. I can not see why this detail is nessacery is he paying for nitpicking details ??? Just put a verbal clause all STAIR STRINGERS to meet IRC code & have req. simpson connections .
type in structure magazine / wood frame stair structure design , THEY CALL THE CARRIAGE THE THROAT . aFTER SEARCHING SOME OF THIS HE MIGHT NOT BE NITPICKING FROM A BUEROCRATEIC STAND POINT!!!!!!!!

Does anyone see an advantage to setting up a template just for decks ?? I also am wondering if it would be a good idea to have the pages named & numbered ?

any ideas & thoughts would be appreciated

I also would like the walls to be block . any help would be appreciated

i remember seeing a short video of being able to measure from a picture. It showed the side of a house where you could drag a line across the home and see the width of the home as well as figuring the roof pitch & rafter length does anyone know if this can be done in x9 & how ?
I have been looking into a lecia disto S 810 laser distance meter which has this feature it cost about $800 + but if chief can do it that would save me some money being able to check dimensions from the ground would save alot of time
-
you have to check it one of the areas under deck spec

How many courses of block would you use for a stem wall ? 48" to the bottom of the footing would work for a good frost wall height , but how many courses above grade would you add ? Anyone know where i find some good detail of a crawlspace to a full foundation so i can better understand these connections ??
-
How many of you use a lazer measuring tool ? I see disto has one for $179.00 , just wondering what types any of use . one feature that is important , is for measuring outside the home roof pitches and existing outside walls . do you think the are acurate enough ?
-
There is a setting that you have to check . Look threw the defaults under build . I have had issues finding certain defaults as i use the program . It is best to change all these defaults prior to doing some designs & setting up a template of the way you want the program to work

I need to draw 4 x 4 post, for a deck rail attached to the outside of the deck . The standard rail will not let me increase the length of the post to the bottom of the deck joist , & keep my bottom rail 4" above the decking , is there a way to achieve this , or do i have to draw all these componets of the rail manually ?
