ACI SKETCH: ANSI compliant?

[Mike Ault]

Here's a New question that I have NO IDEA how to address re: ANSI.
I'm assigned an "apartment like CONDO purchase" in a 4 unit conversion (2002) that is 100% below grade. Realtor lingo is "Garden Level".
From the classes I've taken, you cannot have ANY below grade GLA on a report. So this now has; 2 beds, 2 baths, LR, Kit, DR @ 1,700+/- SF that doesn't
count tward anything? On the sketch you label it as a Basement because it is, and the SF won't populate in the grid as SF. All the Comps are above grade...
Suggestions please....

I posted ANSI advice without regard to the "apartment style condominium" portion. Thanks to Dublin for pointing it out, sorry for any confusion that might've caused.

Ansi standards indicate dimensions are to be reported to the nearest 1/10 ...such as 10.2, 5.3, 6.8, etc. If you do a run and rise for an angled wall, say 10.2 up and 10.2 over the program returns a number to the 100th, not to the 10th, in this case it returns the number 14.42, not 14.4. Also using auto close sometimes returns a number to the 100th, not the 10th. Also the total area is reported on the sketch to the 10th but ANSI requires the area to be reported to the nearest whole number. After calling ACI on this, they see the issue and are apparently working on it. So basically some numbers on the sketch page are not ANSI compliant but the numbers in the report would be (i.e., the totals)

Anyone yet purchase their NEW sketch software ???

Seems crazy to me, If I'm doing rise over run to complete a triangle.

Its how you measure, not your sketching program. Your program only does what you tell it to.
