  1. floor trusses are manually inserted ,so you need to select them all and use transform / replicate to raise or lower them or just delete them ,change the floor height and re-do.
  2. I used to draw in Softplan switched to Chief 12 years ago and never looked back. Chief is so much easier to learn.
  3. it does that with every version update during beta and every new version.. no return after that ,so be sure you want to go forward.
  4. I was just trying to do it automatically, you can just offset the footing in the garage to match the stem wall also automatically., isn't that better then workarounds? There does come a time when you need to shut off auto foundations and manually fix but not in this simple design.
  5. good thing b/c you really don't need any workarounds anyway for this condition, but there are other conditions that you will need the invisible wall, not sure why you are getting the sill.
  6. I was seeing it in your picture, so I assumed it was not.
  7. It can be done very easily automatically to late now but will do in the morning, unless Michael's video did it for you. I think what you are talking about is when a slab butts into a raised foundation then it lowers the stem wall down to the slab height.
  8. Larry, you were ignoring the "Stem wall top (C) section which would be at -18 to give you a 6" stem wall
  9. No, watch Larry's video above, that's what I do.
  10. I downloaded the final version with the new key and it doesn't say Beta anymore
  11. I do know that sometimes Chief won't cut the 2x12 enough so they cut through the ceiling. Been trying to get that fixed for a long time. Hips too.
  12. I have been using the cad detail of the existing under the remodeled floor plan, so when you remove a wall or window ,it shows from the background automatically , no conflict with this method.
  13. make sure you are using the drivers for that device and not the generic one Microsoft gives you.
  14. I wonder if he drew this plan in another version also.
  15. I put my interior and exterior walls on separate layers in the defaults, so I can turn off interior walls on the reference layer and don't show them. I also draw the reference layer first so the walls cover the reference layer.
  16. Haven't seen that one and couldn't even do it if I wanted. It's even showing thru walls
  17. When I downloaded and installed X9, the word Beta is gone, so it might be the final version until the 1st update.
  18. Sorry about that, didn't even think about those renting. When I say current SSA, I was assuming paid for this year not until Feb. 15th.
  19. anyone that has current SSA can download
  20. .Scott, thanks for including me, because I'm always there. Joe's header macro is my fav, works great for me, and it's automatic once set up-no changes after. It also works in the schedule's automatically., Saves a lot of time for me
