Plans for permit submission

[Bill B]

Hi, David is the wizard and he can do that for you.
Here is my experience. I do a little part-time work (in Maryland) for a friend who owns a home improvement company. Using Home Designer Pro 2014, there are no difficulties with the permit folks with just a plan view (often with a few text annotations for clarity), a couple of elevation views and on occasion an annotated framing view. Depending upon the version of your SW, there may be the option to export the plans to the Layout view (I am not an expert of all the bells and whistles for various Chief Architect products). This looks more like a "blueprint" and is easily scaled as you desire.
Cheers, Bill B
PS - the experts on the this forum recommend you add the SW product and version to your forum profile. It enables them to provide you with more accurate recommendations.
