I think I learned more on that layout crew then I did framing.

I learned that things need to be layed out as if the framers were the dumbest ****ers on the planet. Lol

I'm leaning toward the left door (as viewed) being operational.

Pros / Cons either way.

Door is an 8/0 - 8/0

I’ll be helping with the framing of the barn deck.....

I got this from Calidecks (Mike) several years ago....as goes CA so goes WA

Really nice, like how the 3d rendering is tied to the stair framing plan, makes the situation so clear, leaves no room for confusion.

 

[wallmaxx]

It seems that the more you can make it clear the better off you’ll be getting your permit. We still have permit technicians working from home so the whole process needs to be as efficient as it can be made.

Saw this on YouTube so I rounded to the nearest inch and voila - from a sheet of plywood.
It's for shooting weapons from different positions - behind or around obstacles.

I am updating all my old CAD using Chief Architect. I'm putting together a roof framing calculation book.....not even 100 pages. It's in outline form now but I will explain the roofs I have experience with.

Building graphics is a time suck.
I wish I had a camera phone back when I was full-on framing

So I'm helping my buddy build out a loft and some shelving in his shop. Here's a 3-D view of revA. We shall see how this one evolves.

4' wide stairs
24' x 12' loft
shelves for a metric ass-ton of bins (for his Mrs)

It used to house a bus RV so it has a 50A service, if I heard correctly, and a sewer pipe and water.

revB. He's buying a rolling ladder like at HD.

I wasn't about to try and create a symbol representing the rolling ladder and it doesn't appear that anyone else on the Internet has done so either.
So the green see-through area is about the size minus the handrail that would stick up 3 feet above.

Since I got rid of AutoCAD, I've found ways to make CA work out just fine.
Andy told me CA was better, back in 2015/16, and only now is it through my thick head.

Do you do everything in CA? I still find myself going back to 2d cad for critical layouts. I've had minor issues with maintaining precise placement in Chief. I know the problem is something I'm doing wrong, but I've never spent the time to figure out what.

 

[wallmaxx]

100% Chief. I stopped my AutoCAD subscription for 2D Lite
Some things in AC are more easy, but CA is holding it's own.

I use Visual cad for 2D work. Started way back in the day's of DOS and just kept upgrading over the years. The problem for me is that the basic tasks I do with it don't require any thought, my hand knows what button to push. Being old and stubborn makes it really tough to learn a whole new system. So I always gravitate back to what I know. It's that whole being your own worst enemy thing.
