  1. That is the height of the beam itself, not the wall. You could be right, maybe that is what he asked, not sure.
  2. You have to save downloads from each new version, but if you call T.S. they should get you back and running.
  3. I have wanted soffit framing for eon's, not just eave soffits, but soffits in the cabinet DBX also.
  4. The rail beam will stop at the ceiling or a roof plane ,in a balloon frame condition. Try to change your ceiling height
  5. Yes pressing a button is very hard these days.
  6. Thanks, I now get it. Skimmed his post too quickly. Sometimes I do that.
  7. I've never shown door labels like you want them, but each to their own. It would be nice if you could do it your way if you wanted.
  8. Try reducing recent files to 3 and see if that helps, I know a lot of us like the recent files list and use it all the time, I'm hoping a fix comes very shortly as Chief just can't leave X7 like this and call it a day.
  9. If you use a door schedule, you can also have it there, without using a macro.
  10. FYI-- Your manf'r and bonus lib. will update automatically by going to the lib. tab and using "Update lib catalogs". Chief is updating these all the time, I check these bi- weekly and most of the time there is some change. Sometimes it could be a fix on a symbol that might be giving you some trouble. Just do it.
  11. If you can learn to use all of Chief in X7, correctly, you will save more time then you know.
  12. select the window tool , then shift select all the windows, then change it there. match property's might also work
  13. Greg ok ,so you try to sister the new f.j. to the old c.j. with the electrical laying on top of the old c.j. You have to re-route the electrical, there is no way to do it using your method unless you are using 2x6 floor joists. Also, Gas lines usually also sit on top of those ceiling joists, do they magically just go through those f.j.. You also can't notch them that much, what gives. I have built hundreds of these and drawn thousands. I was looking at your photos and we just couldn't do that here also, your method creates to much of a hinge effect crippling that up like that. everything around here needs to be held down.
  14. I got one and it is the best upgrade I have done.
  15. That's Ok, we don't discriminate,, maybe you could wheel us around in our walkers.
  16. Sometimes depending, you can also use a ceiling plane for the existing ceiling, but there is some tweaking with that. And you can control the direction. Greg, nothing up there ,really, what is everything underfloor, we got slabs out here there is no underfloor to put anything.
  17. They probably choose me b/c I'm a troublemaker and they need to keep me busy or I'll cause more ruckus.
  18. Haven't been to one yet but I'll be there this year too.
  19. I made a mistake, it should read "you can't get anything by Scott"
  20. you don't move the house. It always stays at "0" level, you lower the terrain to what you need
