With the unrest in Iran I am thinking of our friend, Majid, today. I hope that he and his family are safe as the situation unfolds.

I'm so glad you're okay, Majid! My heart goes out to all Iranians. I had the privilege of working with an Iranian architect who worked on many government (and large) projects prior to the overthrow of the Shah, who came to the US with nothing other than his family. He did not speak english and his daughter (who did) came in to translate for him when he interviewed. Everything he knew about construction (very little wood framing in Iran) went out the window and he had to learn a new language and a new way of construction. Through it all, he was the most humble, sweetest person I'd ever met - never being down about what they were going through (or at least showing it). So full of knowledge, too!! After a few years he obtained his architects license. I'm sorry to say that I just found out he passed in 2023 .. a true loss in the world. Best of luck for both you, Majid, and the people of Iran.

I believe you're referring to a thread started by Gus R (https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/164378/my-gofundme).

There's also https://creofora.com/ for those who don't care for discord.

LA is known for being VERY slow (even before the fires), nit-picky, and sometimes downright unreasonable. Best of luck in getting the project(s) approved!

And privacy next to non-existent. I can see in a primary bedroom for the ensuite, but I see them being used for powder baths now, too. Yikes!

What version(s) of SketchUP will this work with?

Personally, I will normally just call for stick-frame fill framing in these areas in lieu of the multiple 'half-valley' trusses. I'm not sure if either way is more efficient for the framers.

Popular now, but give it another 5 years and there will be a new "it" feature to work with.

I just checked the website and it is functioning fine for me. I'm not sure if Chuck still watches the forum, but you can email him here: https://valiarchitects.com/contact
