DRAWZILLA

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.

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.

make sure you are using the drivers for that device and not the generic one Microsoft gives you.

I wonder if he drew this plan in another version also.

outside main layer is correct

I say the outside face

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.

Haven't seen that one and couldn't even do it if I wanted. It's even showing thru walls

When I downloaded and installed X9, the word Beta is gone, so it might be the final version until the 1st update.

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.

anyone that has current SSA can download

.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

no issues here, I have been using it for months

For now, I just set up all my section elevation cameras in my template plan and send them all to the layout template ,so it's already done. I use layout box labels for all those views.

Long drive just for lunch, throw in some layer sets and anno sets and it's a deal. Anyway my wife won't let me play.

Brian ,I just tried to use the truss base and it doesn't work anymore, with conv. framing. Don't know when this got changed. I pretty much manually build my roofs like Rob described above, so didn't notice. Sorry about that and thought you wanted this to work with auto roofs

Me too, it would be nice, but I don't even want to try with 14 rooms it could get a little harry, nice but too much trouble still, I'll just stick to my method for 2 stories, until Chief deals with it.

Here it is https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01846/configuring-a-leica-disto-device-to-work-with-chief-architect-software.html

I don't know as I have never done it, but I do know it's possible.

You can use a truss base and it will overbuild even if you have no trusses

Yes, you can do that.

Dealing with 50 different cities, I will put general notes on page 2 and beyond b/c a lot of cities want their own different special notes on page 1 Just kind of the way it is around here.

yes, I just want to get in and out as fast as I can. Traffic is very bad around here and my appointments are between 10am and 2pm. After those hours it will take me an extra hour to get back.

Yes Room Planner imports wall and doors ,but not anything else, like cabinets. For as-builts it's pretty good. also automatically inputs measurements from laser measurement devices. I do need to practice more with it though before I actually use it. I have practiced on my own house. I can see myself using room planner, I do need to get one of those portable lightweight laptop tables , just can't hold everything at once.
