Got that right. That is more true than most people know

I just build then manually so to eliminate some frustration.

In the text DBX under the options tab ,you can add the arrow by checking the box, if I understand correctly.

using soffits for a roof plane in the hard way.

Interesting study I use just a standard light gray fill, not using transparence at all, printing in grayscale with the setting for color off is grayscale

I find that in Chief I really don't use much cad at all, isn't that the reason I switched from a cad program in the first place.

Barry, no-file yet

How you going to frame that puppy

There will be a lot of times your plan won't fit on a 24 x 36 so tell him to go fly a kite, 30 x 42 it is, who's the boss anyway.

No I am not just ask my wife. I also misread some questions a lot, I had to re-read that one many times to get it.

I was just agreeing w/ Lew

I always use the layer option, makes it easy to change if you need to.

That would be a standard raised floor template. I don't include a floor in mine. leave it blank until I know what it is. That plan you have would not be a standard type.

Yes

I have been using Barry to take the load off of myself doing it. It has just got too much now. Its just easier to have Berry do it. Barry has done a great job for me and my clients

They are in your "My documents" file in the" Chief Architect Data" file, for windows. Mac, don't know

You can also create a truss there and modify it.

Doug, Are you working on arrows disconnecting from macros, it sure would be nice. I would like to use macro's for stairs and headers but I can't because somewhere along the line they disconnect and I get the dreaded "evaluation error" on the printed plan (embarrassing ). Those pages are expensive to re print. Also happens with annotating a header in the framing plans. If we just didn't need the arrow, it would really be nice. Other than that I can't use them as they are.

Look in the Archives, you have a copy there

you can also control 3 ways using this. Check the defaults

Using anno-sets you change the annoset not the layerset. when you want to go from say floor to framing. I never use " use active layer-set"..

You set it all up in the anno-set DBX, there you can tell it what layerset you want plus many other things . copy another layerset and re-name

Yes but once set up it good to go. I use a lot of layersets but usually its just a copy of another layerset with a few changes.

I used to set up different templates for every condition, but later on I found its just too difficult to update them all as you go, so now I just use a very basic template and just change it to what I need. Much simpler for me, when I find something that needs changing, and that happens a lot as you go until its good to go.

That line you circled is suppose to be there, its the interior line of the plasterboard.
