Re: New addition to my home can I submit to an engineer 1 - Printing Of course you can print. Use File -> Page Setup then File Print or Print to PDF (in case you need larger than A4/Letter size paper). 2 - Submit to engineer Of course you can. NOTE: I assume you have to comply with local regulations. This is not the forum for instructions of that kind... 3 - Check out this post on how to share your design.

Re: New addition to my home can I submit to an engineer Thanks for your reply I am familiar with the codes I just want to make sure that the draft drawing has the basic features and the measurements that are usually required for the engineer to make decision as to certify or not Can I attach a file for you to have a look at? Thanks |

Re: New addition to my home can I submit to an engineer Not clear in which country you live... so who should look at it?? In my country (Netherlands) you wouldn't get a building permit for this kind of incomplete data. H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |
