Just select any roof planes you want and select the little framing icon in the edit toolbar and just those roof planes will rebuild. -
Very interesting. Thanks
-
Here in the L.A. area it nothing but tract homes with a few customs, so it works well for me.

Larry has dual Zeon's, it would be interesting to see the difference.

My Sam / Template plan is about 20+ pages and has everything I might need with any given job on it. It's a lot easier to delete, than create things. With the auto sheet index and auto section/ elevation pages, I can delete a lot and it's still good to go.

I always use an existing plan, and a new plan also, A lot of times I will get a call for another job on the same model or a second job on the same model. This has happened to me at least a 100 times in the past. Like those jobs , the existing plan already done.

If one wall is set to "no room def., you can do it.
-
Just put the existing walls on their own layer and uncheck (Mat) in the layer's column. A lot of times you are patching existing walls , so include any walls you think you might patch. I use new and existing walls but don't worry about the materials list. Once it's set up correctly in your template plan, it will work smoothly but its a lot of work to set up. I use a cad mask for any demo work, it doesn't mess with the model and when you remove a wall, the cad mask shows up automatically. Search cad mask here.

Yes I remember, if you do your 3d prior to blocking it will be good, but really why after 10+ years, can't Chief fix that. We used to ask to show blocked framing for many years, I guess we gave up and forgot. I guess that's why Chief recommends to frame last. I actually frame very early on. I actually use p-solids for those. Boy the chargers stink this year, maybe it's on purpose, so the league will grant the move. we do need someone, why are we getting 2 teams, I don't get it. New England ,Wow, if you get them, good deal, but I think if they are willing to move ,LA should have them.

they stay if you block them together before re-building.

Joe's macro's are great, they have saved me lots of time drawing.

Wall lines showing through exterior in elevation view.

You can see in the picture that a drywall layer is going thru the outside wall, just use the "edit wall layer intersections" tool to bring it back to where it should be. -
Someone isn't enforcing it, I guess.
-
I don't think it looks like a spiral stair to me. I pretty sure Scott's post would apply.
-
Every new release has given me new tools to save time, and for me that's what it's all about. I always upgrade and Chief gets me out the door sooner every time.
-
The reason the storage room doesn't work is that those 2 walls are probably set as attic walls which have no room def. Just uncheck no room def. and it will convert to a room.
-
Yes, use a sill without an apron
-
I have to use it on sections for mono slab foundation flubs
-
Where is Scotts waterfall video when you need it?
-
Don't get to excited, it doesn't always work.

No, I'm talking about the rafter and ridge/ hip framing as you can see in your pic. The ridge shows through the gable wall and you shouldn't see it below the rake or fascia boards, it should reduce like rafters do. This has been this way forever and we have put in many requests over the years.
-
Yep that's what I do also
-
Also that ridge should reduce, as not to show as in real life. This includes hips

Auto Rebuild Roof Covering Second Story Windows

You can also create a window well using walls and a low slope roof for the floor -
If you look at your curb in real life, at least around here, it's still there just lowered.
