DRAWZILLA

In the first white railings the spindles are spaced too far apart for code. I would not buy a house like that, too many level changes, but I'm old, and everyone will get there someday.

I use many different layers like walls normal, walls interior, walls no show on plan, Same for railings, interior, exterior. It makes it a lot easier to select the group of walls. You can set all the walls to go to any layer you want in the wall defaults.

You might try a ceiling plane slopped the same as the roof but installed lower than the roof. of course, remove the drywall under the roof. the ceiling plane has its own framing to make any size and direction you need.

Chief does not do it automatically, normally people will use a molding polyline using a molding that works for your roof edge

Larry , this is how Chief has always worked , if you change the ridge to a larger member then the hips and ledgers will also change. I have sent this in many times. You need to use a roof beam for ridges and keep the ridge in the roof DBX same size as the rafters to work. we should have separate boxes for hips, ridges and ledgers.

You can also try turning the "daytime backdrop intensity" to something around 500

also make sure "rooms" are also turned on.

https://fhc-usa.com/ Here is a company that manufactures glass railings including all details and ICC- reports. very handy, especially in California and Nation wide They also provide lots of other glass things like shower doors. The webinars are very informative pertaining to codes.

I would not have it cut a wall hole and just use a passthrough for the opening

Generally, walls will go up to meet the roof or follow a ceiling height setting. Don't know your situation but if you set your ceiling to 8' and the roof baseline to 10' then you can use the balloon through ceiling to automatically get the wall to 10' high, baseline height is set to the plate height plus the vertical depth of the rafter. It's all in the roof DBX.

I would try a wall material region using a frosted glass from the lib.

I did have cataracts but the latest and greatest was 5000 per eye extra so I went cheap

Yep ,I got the cheap ones, distance vision only, wish I could do it again.

Hay ,Joe, i also have the implants but near vision suffers, need glasses

3' FOR ME, BAD EYESIGHT

I have 2- 43" 4k monitors, plenty of space for photos,pdf's, lib's.

Just a guess but maybe the slab is below the terrain?

You can also create multiple schedules separating outlets, lights, switches. or however you want by checking what to include in that schedule.

I use a separate layer set for sending elevations to the layout, with windows and roofs and walls line-weights set larger than any plan view. This gives it more pop. You can also adjust the actual material line weights as needed

General rule of thumb is, attic walls will not build if no wall exists below it.

i think it comes from using different resolutions between computers

Just open it and close it usually fixes it.

I know Alienware does a lot to fine tune their systems, like manufacturing their own motherboards for a better working experience without bottlenecks. the extra cost IMO is worth it. I'm on my 6th one now.

my system is only 2 months old and I have it.

I have been using windows 11 for a year now without those problems so far, not sure what's going on with your system
