The proposed plans that the principal of the firm wants me to do are in no way are close to the IRC code requirements, which I told him, and he still wants me to do his proposed plan. As a now Registered Architect, I believe I am responsible to meet a standard of care in all of my drawings . He will be signing and sealing the drawings. Do you have any suggestions about this situation?

But this isn't often, and you have to have an EXCELLENT reason as to why this is. It sounds like there is something your boss isn't telling you... maybe this is the case? We had a similar thing happen recently, but chose to redesign most of the project as an addendum instead of risk the code violations.
