Stop stalking my posts . You Moron.

Moron? you want to design a house but don't know the name of the software to do so?

I'm glad I'm not your neighbour. I wouldn't want your expert addition landing in my yard during a windstorm.

It would be best to leave somethinging like that in the hands of experts.

Petros:
Stop stalking me with your moronic comments.

Stupid questions deserve straight, truthful answers.

I made the mistake of giving him an intelligent response once...whew...

What I need is a basic design package to prepare drawings for zoning evaluation. Theres lots of programs advertised- but I can't find an evaluation site.

honestly, we use 'paint' to draw up our plans for permit applications. Take a photo of what you're attaching to or changing, draw your proposed plans complete with dimensions, material specifications, etc. right over top of the photo. Cheap, easy, and we've never been turned down for a permit.

You're too ****ed up to know three little letters? CAD is over the chrome dome?

That is good advice.I used paint years ago to pepare logos. the Cad - cam programs I looked at were overkill for what I needed to do.

thanks Karrie.


any other sugestions?

Without knowing what kind of project specifically you're doing, it's hard to give advice. Basically, just keep it simple, need to know stuff. Your permit office doesn't care if it's fancy, they care if it's safe and right.

Oh, and if you're actually looking for inspiration on how to plan finishing details, check out houzz.com

Good point. I've been able to obtain some 40 lb crane rail, and would like to incoprperate it into a lakefront cabin design for foundation strength and ice resistance.

Has anyone ever found his 'off' switch? He's taken to sending me mail...

With your drawings, include the engineering specifications for said material, as it's not a normal 'building material' that they will have data on hand for I'm assuming.

You don't need CAD, you need code. National Building Code of Canada - National Model Construction Code Documents

good point!

The AAR actually preps detailed specs for all crane and track rails, and has them on line. Its a cheap material when salvaged, as industrila rail is manufactored some pretty exacting strength specs.
