I think you need to change an option for the symbol to insert into wall

here is a short video about those pesky door header lines https://www.screencast.com/t/oJV2AyXi sorry about no sound I forgot to switch microphones. if anyone needs sounds let me know and I will re-do it but you can see what turns that setting on and off. you do need to set it up first b/c it will not change existing doors unless you select all of them.

I went to Chieftalk an d found a link that Scott had put there, my old link didn't work either.

Thanks for a very good meeting learned something today. I got cut off for a while there but I got back in later, not sure what happened.

Do you have enough printer memory installed , this happened to me a long time ago when I had a plotter, now I just print to pdf and hard print from that. just a guess though

Slabs are rooms , you can add a room label in each slab area and if you have your room labels set up correctly ( including the square footage macro) it will show. You can also just create your own custom room labels and place them in the rooms, that's the simple way to do it. you can also just create a p-line around the slab area with the area macro included in the label, turn on p-line labels. Many ways to do it.

you can also just use an opening (door) with no casing or jamb and stretch it across the opening, which you will need if you have a trey ceiling in one room. one good thing is it will give you a beam.

I'm in

with open different ceiling heights I will just drop the ceiling height in one room and use a room divider wall and it will fill that area in automatically. for walled areas I use a ceiling plane for the drop especially if I need the ceiling joists abv. to continue a the higher level. 2 different methods for 2 different conditions.

Ceiling planes work great for walled enclosed rooms but when you have an open side use a room divider wall for that side and in most occasions that will fill in the dropped area. make sure those room dividers walls are on and not invisible.

! use ceiling planes for dropped ceilings, I need the framing that can be created in any direction.

Steve, your videos are top notch also, enjoy every one of those, As long as I have been around, you would think I know everything, but no!!!!!, I'm always learning every day and it doesn't ever stop.

What I enjoyed with Scott's videos was the fact there were laughs and , I actually like seeing the path to getting to the final solution including the frustrating parts so I don't make that mistake. I know he did thousands of them. I enjoyed my Saturday morning funny's . Scott and I did a couple of Chief training sessions in San Diego in 2005, great guy in person also. A few years ago we also attended the Simi- annual user meetings--Great times for sure.

I love them to much, not using them is out of the question

Not here, lumber is one of the most expensive in the home. Framing is also one of the most expensive things.

My son built a large commercial building in New York and he had to pay someone many thousands of dollars just to build it or there could be trouble. He said that's the way it is in that area.

I recently went to a 4k monitor and Chief messed with all my blocked text like that, not sure why though, not fun

Check for an updated mouse driver or video card drivers. You can also try to use the standard Microsoft mouse drivers.

Thanks buddy

I actually don't remember where I got it but it was a while back

I use X12, let me see if I have it in X11 yes here it is fireplace wall vent.calibz

most cities and county's around here are 2019 codes including 2019 energy and California Green codes. I downloaded my free copies.

It might be in the code but I haven't seen it enforced around here. Gee someone might fall out that window, very dangerous. I don't think my head would fit.

Sorry joe , I read it and deleted it, but it was listed with the download.
