Hello! I just migrated Home Designer Pro 2018 to a new MacBook Pro from an older one and all looked good until a started a new plan.  There were no default styles (ex traditional, contemporary, etc)  to choose from which I often use just to get me started.  Also no room labels etc to work with.  Did I miss something in the download?

      California Based Draftsman has limited opening as of 2-2-22
      By jdfales
      Hi All
      My name is Jonathan Fales and I have been drawing plans and pulling permits all over the California Bay Area for over a decade now. A tremendous amount of my work is done through Via Builders Inc out of Los Altos, CA . Most everything you see on that website had me as the lead draftsman. I have answered comments and argued points with every municipality around. On the side I operate JDFales Plans & Permits where I currently have projects all over the state and even a few out of state jobs from time to time. Aside from traditional residential plans and permits I've traced PDFs, Made 3D models, added notations to already created plans.....you name it. I can do it. My background before drawing was construction of course. I've been a laborer, carpenter, project manager and now Draftsman. If you need to make sense out of construction jargon from a contractor or technical talk from the city/ county...I'm your translator. Email Me- Jdfales@gmail.com

      Plan Views in Layout Default to the Same Floor
      By Sunnyfields
      I am doing a remodel and have created a separate existing building file and am using it as an underlay to show where walls are being removed: 
      BUT, when I export the views to layout, they all default to the last view I export. Here I export the first floor:

      So far so good. Here are the settings:

      Then it all goes awry. This is what happens when I export the second floor:

      And now the third...

      This only happens with this one plan. Could using the plan reference be messing things up? Has anyone seen this before?

      Seeking someone to draw my plans for permitting in WA state
      By Alaskachris
      I am looking for someone to draft a complete set of plans for my small 1 1/2 story house. I have Chief Architect Home Designer Pro and the plans are already drawn up. The only thing that needs a little help is the roof (11/12 pitch) with a dormer (6/12 pitch). I'll need elevation plans, floor plan, foundation plan, floor framing plan, roof framing plan, wall cross-section, electrical plans that I've already done. I can't attach the Chief Architect File because it's too big but these will give you an idea of the project. Could you quote me a price and timeline?

      Looking for Architect and structural engineer for work in N Dallas, TX
      By ChiefGregUser
      Hi,
       
      I have developed some plans in X12 premier for an 1800 ft^2 garage / workshop (~30'x647') that is attached to my existing house via a Porte-cochère.
       
      I have submitted it to the HOA, showing both the existing house and the additional building and it has been accepted.
       
      I created a plan of the original house and my vision of the additional new construction (garage/workshop).
       
      I haven't added the framing/electrical/plumbing yet, but would possibly like to use some of the 'perfect wall' designs that I saw Matt Risinger presents on his build show.
      Of course need to weight this against cost.
       
      Also, I need to be able to pull permits with the plans that I receive.  Want to get an official sign off from the person who perfects these plans.
       
      The city does not require a licensed architect, but I would like to have one anyways.  
       
      Generally people use post tension slab on grade in my area.  If the person I engage is not a structural engineer, I may need to enlist a second person to do the foundation design.
       
      The design is 1.5 stories.
       
      Thanks,
       
      Greg Baty

      Seeking CA X12 drafting for remodel
      By BernieB
      I currently have a remodel to an existing home. I am a General Contractor. I need someone to take some PDF's and DWG's and turn them into an existing plan, plus add to it the proposed remodel. Needs to be ready for submittal to Kootenai County, ID for permitting. I can send you plans for review. I would like to reach a flat rate fee plus an hourly for revisions if necessary. I am working in CA X12 and would like them in that format for ease of transfer. Please give me your availability as I am looking for someone to start very soon. Thank you.
