Thanks Majid!

Maybe look at a multi-function machine if she will need to do any scanning too. I've always had good luck with Brother printers and LD Products ink (ldproducts.com).

Not many textures, but 10 different buildings on a vastly changing 4.71 acre site - 200 MB.

It took a couple of hours for me .. hopefully Nathan's gotten yours out to you too by now.

Nice find Dave!

Windowizer 4 (http://www.smustard.com/script/Windowizer4) works with SU 2018. I can't comment on the others - I've never used them.

Nathan ... just wondering about the bundle deal. What about those of us that are current (paid) Truss and Foundation users who also contributed to your KickStarter campaign? Is there a way to align all of our licenses to one renewal date? I'd rather have one renewal (like Vali's Instant Architecture) than multiple individual ones. Also looking forward to when you add in the shear engineering element to the wall plugin!

I agree with pbacot. I use Chuck Vali's excellent Instant Architecture plug-in but cannot get used to first adding a line across the wall(s) for the head height before I start the plug-in to insert the windows/doors. To Chuck it makes sense, but for me it's an extra step (or two, or three, or ...) that I don't want to do.

You'll need to have both (on sheathing, on cladding) dependent upon what cladding you use.

Added my pledge! Looking forward to this one!!

I've used them on two residential projects: one was used for the foundation only (built entirely on a huge granite rock - lots of ups and downs) and was completed, the other was a three story house with the walls and floors using the ICF's (ready to pull permits and the owners divorced - never built). If you use them you MUST use a contractor who has done them before, or a manufacturer's rep who will come out and train you/your contractor to ensure it's done correctly.

I've been fortunate to see Tower of Power in 1979 and again in 2009. Awesome concerts, each one!

I saved the download of SU 3.0.99 on August 1, 2003; my download of SU 4.0.123 was on July 1, 2004. My first download of SU was on November 28, 2001 and SU 2 was on March 14, 2002!

Another point worth noting is that a well designed truss or roof is already a thing of beauty, no further marketing gimmicks required.

Spoken like a true engineer!

Added my (continued) support to your Kickstarter campaign!

That's pretty much how it's done down here, and with the detail I sent you it sounds like what you've seen and what we do are pretty close. I would agree, too, that the 2x sleepers rarely have the edge beveled to be in-plane - it takes too much time for the framers to figure the correct cut.

In my neck of the woods we don't use valley sets - where one roof covers the main truss set it is usually stick-framed (usually 2x4's and 2x6's) with what we call 'California Fill' that bears on the main set. PM me if you'd like to see a typical detail.

This is how I do it: after you've logged into your account it should bring up the main screen that has the Plugins towards the bottom of the page. Pick on either one (say, the truss plugin), then when it shows your order number pick on it. At that window it should say "Download Now" at the top - pick that and save the new version to your computer.

I think the CA might be Canadian - someone else may know more than my guess? US pricing is $49.99 each. Well worth the cost!

I'm also looking forward to when they roll out the Affinity DTP (the upgrade from Serif PagePlus)!

Long-time Serif user here too - bought Affinity Designer and Photo as well. Haven't had time to get into both yet but looking forward to using both soon!
