DRAWZILLA

Mine is in the attic area.

I use that tool all the time, but I guess you could just select the roof planes too.

You know Scott Hall put over a 1000 videos up on David's site (Chief tutor), are they still there?

Hey, you guys left out the multiple pages of California Green codes. And since when did I become a landscape Architect.

If you open Chief's "D" size layout from the template / imperial / arch d size, then open the project browser and look at the way Chief has their layout pages, it's a good start. in fact, you could use that one and modify how you want it, but make a copy first.. There are lots of standard notes in the lib under cad, but they are very standard, look and see if they work for you.

Thanks for the info. It's turning out like I thought it would. Leaving it up to each city will not be good for anyone.

I like the layout box labels and b/c my template layouts are done, I don't think about them.

Thank you sir, hey, you aren't so bad. I do hear you.

for me---save some money for the rainy day, b/c it will happen, maybe 2 or 3 times in your lifetime

Every software program has some problems, Don't try to make Chief like other software, just the way you like it. I can tell you that will never happen--ever. You should learn Chief as it is meant to be used. It works great for me. Any issue I might have is some functionality issues, and hope Chief will fix it, but they don't have to. I can find an answer for every so called problem. I love this program. Greg Wells is a great guy, I have met and spent some time with him. Your conspiracy theory's won't work here. I have requested many things that Chief has fixed, and I believe they will in the future. It just takes time and there are only so many hours in a day.

To get those 2nd floor walls to balloon frame and the floor joists to hang off the walls just select the 2nd floor walls that apply, and check "Go through floor below"

I don't think you can legally. Chief owns it. They have to buy Chief first. send them a backup full plan with all the textures.

I always have a floor in the crawlspace, but it is really a dirt texture 1/16" thick, so I can adjust it like Scott shows. Don't do many full basements. Looks good in sections and 3d also.

It would also help if, when you lose room definition for some time, not sure how long that is., the room wouldn't revert back to the default once set to other than default.

some funny stuff going on.

Post your problem here.

The 940m is better than what you are using (newer)

The reason to put the details on the layout is to resize them to what you need, if you put them in a separate cad detail, you can send them to the layout to scale. When you import cad details there is always some fix up.

GOOD THING I DIDN'T ANSWER

Years ago Chief used to be on an 18 month cycle but changed it to 12 months to get new versions to us quicker, I guess it works better for them. I like it.

You'll need a lot more money too.

just gave you one, if it really means anything

I like the way Chief does it and do not want this kind of change, everyone would need to re-learn it.

You have a great new year too, humor is the best medicine for sure.

Yes, post the plan if you want specific help with the problem
