We have recently added the CAD Library for those who might need some resources for designing their own building project.  The AutoCAD details will be some of the more standard details that I use throughout the plansets.  The Solidworks models will be mostly components that I have created for generating the 3D models of the different designs.  Check out the new CAD Library here:

I've been using phpBB now for about a year and I've finally decided to switch to SMF by Simple Machines.  It seems like a much better forum software.  My main reason for switch was the amount of spam I was receiving with phpBB, the spam controls are very limited, at least out of the box.

Hopefully, everyone finds this forum software to their liking.  I've also added the member map mod which is a nice bonus.  If anyone has any recommendations for stuff they would like to see added please advise.

I've been designing this shop/studio/garage for the last couple of months, its 24x48, I might increase the size to 28x48.  Anyhow, I'm pretty new to construction so I've spend some quality time reading up on framing, concrete etc...  I think I'm almost there with the design but I found this board that has answered some of my questions so I thought I might post up some screenshots so I can get some feedback before we start spending money...

Currently working on a new garage design with attic and dormers.  This one will be a 3 car garage with a stemwall foundation, 12/12 roof with attic and dormers.  Similar to the previous shop design I will be adding and alternate upstairs floorplan that has an apartment/living quarters for a single or dual occupancy.  Unfortunately, I have been very busy with other engineering work and am just now getting back to the site. 

I've attached a couple screenshots below of the work in progress.  Note, that this time around I am going with a drop top chord on the gable truss so that I can use 2x6 outlookers.  For high wind areas I think this is the better way to go.  It also eliminates the thorny issue of cutting into pre-manufactured trusses.
