MichaelJerome Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi Again, After sending this plan to my engineer he has requested several things that are list in the pdf files. I can not combine framing layer 4 and 2 that are basically the same wall but separated. With the headers that the engineer is suggesting I will have to raise the ceiling, roof and trusses. I also need to have a soffit retained over the entry for lighting but have the outside ends match with no boxed soffit. The are layers in the wall that appear as shapes in the drywall that I cannot seem to find or eliminate. The windows cannot be lowered since the closet ceiling and the closet roof limit the movement in the wall. I have drawn red lines for the framing that the engineer has requested but can't place the framing on the same layer. I would appreciate any insight on how to accomplish this so I can get it back to him for review and have accurate details for the layout and city plan review.

Is this a problem, or something that someone looking at the plan should not suggest? Is "framing layer 4" a layer in Display Options? I am trying to display this wall as one layer. When I select the wall on the 1st floor and open the layer I see one and the other is on the second floor. If I am going to show this as detail for the framer I can't create it accurately without the wall sections being one not 2. 30 minutes ago, solver said: 43 minutes ago, MichaelJerome said: With the headers that the engineer is suggesting I will have to raise the ceiling, roof and trusses. Problem with doing this? No, problem with doing this as I am working on this right now but wanted to explain that the windows will not be able to be moved up or down due to the limitations of the headers and the closet roof. 32 minutes ago, solver said: 45 minutes ago, MichaelJerome said: I have drawn red lines for the framing that the engineer has requested but can't place the framing on the same layer. Are you saying you are unable to, or do not want to? The same layer as? I wanted to show you and others the framing that is to be drawn but I cannot get the framing layers to combine. #4 and #2 need to be one framing layer to display as a detail drawing for the framer and for plan review from the city to show the shear support as the engineer drew.

You could hire someone, like myself for instance, to provide you with the appropriate drawings that will satisfy your engineer, the building department, and the homeowner.

MichaelJerome Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi Robert, I am so close on this and communicating with the engineer for the details. I know you could probably complete it without issue but I am trying to learn the correct way of doing the processes I am questioning so I can provide the drawings myself without hiring it out. I already have a complete layout but the engineers requirements are not easy to implement with the restrictions I find in CA. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just now, MichaelJerome said: I am so close on this You posted this pic: In that view double click the lower wall to open the dialog box. Then: Structure tab / platform intersections / balloon through ceiling above. close dbx click 'build framing for selected object click 'open wall detail' edit the framing as per engineers notes. dimension and note as necessary if there is framing still existing in the wall above, open the upper wall detail, delete the framing, and check 'retain framing' .

MichaelJerome Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Real close! There were wall divisions for the raised foundation wall for the planter but I may be able to do that and add the windows back hopefully and then add and adjust the headers. The image is what the smaller window and lower window would look like sitting higher on the stem wall below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 3 different walls that will be framed as one...just pick one and edit. You can even copy and paste the framing from one wall detail into another. And yes, angled headers suck to edit...so use a general framing member... or open the window dbx and specify the correct header, then rebuild the framing.

MichaelJerome Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 When I copied and pasted from one framing layer to the other it showed up on the small window side in the elevation view for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
