    [QUOTE=RMorrison]Umm, shouldn't you be getting this from your engineer

    Richard:
    Actually I was able get plans approved by Ventura Co a few months ago. for a 475 sq ft single story addition without engineering. The plan checker was nice enough to mark in where he wanted more shear walls. I made simple notes on the plans. STHD14 at the corners, Min 2 AB per Panel. Nailing 3" oc in perimeter and edge etc.. Anyway I was lucky enought to get approval without an engineer stamp, but may not be so lucky this time. (same jurisdiction). I was wondering whether I should paste the full shearwall schedule (table) into the plans along with a whole list of reference notes or wheather I should just make short notes specific to this plan only. I still need to have a good table available.

    Wendy and Lew: those were good sites. Thanks. Wendy I would appreciate the table and notes if any when your server gets back on line. I don't think I can import the table from that web site into my chief plan.

    Expanding on this subject, I am struggling with what amount of "NOTES" GENERAL NOTES" TABLES, SCHEDULES,REFERENCES etc. to include so that enough information is there, but not useless clutter. Although Building departments vary from place to place, nevertheless, I would be interested in getting other peoples thoughts on this. I know this has been touched on before, Thanks. Happy NY Bob L.
