all I can say is "Good luck with all that"

you have to place the posts and beams manually.

The new truss tools are so much better than before. All you have to do is set the heel height now and auto build, what extra is that, a couple seconds to set the heel height. overall you save a lot more than that to do a truss roof. I don't mind it at all, just part of the setup.

i thought this is a deliberate change because of a lot of complaints about the heal height settings.

yes i agree with you, something isn't correct with the truss specs. We never used to have to set the heel height for them, now we do.

raise the roof planes up, the walls will follow or add a 2nd floor with no floor.

i think it's just the angle you are looking at it, try to bring your camera up higher.

Yes ,you need a roof plane and a lower ceiling plane then build with trusses.

Is the deck framing layers on in that camera view?

I never got used to mine so I gave it to my grandkid, he loves it.

yep, forgot about exploding the bay, that works.

If the bay creates a room, it will generate a room label, you can always change it to bay window. without a floor no added square footage, with a floor added square footage. You can also not include it if you want. Make the wall between the bay and the living no room def and it becomes part of the other room but that could cause other problems.

drawing 50 years, never saw that before today. drawn over 5000 plans.

that doesn't look like a chief door symbol to me. the new looks correct.

I have been using windows 11 since before it was released without any problems other than some video driver problems, those are fixed now.

I see this also, I think it means they haven't got to them yet but working on them, still beta. It could mean there is no update. Mine still work though.

Some of us never got that notice.

Larry notice when you open X15, the heading doesn't have the word beta anymore. Chief has been doing that in the final beta for years. there will be a final update before it officially releases.

the rule I use for myself is, if a plan is still in the preliminary stage, then bring it forward. if it is mostly done, then finish in that version that got you there. been doing that since 2005.

And for all remodelers out there I have to put a (e) or (n) in front of all those rooms. sure would be great if it was a checkmark instead of changing every one and having two of each.

No, because as we design it we never know what will be required for the model to comply until it's complete. you can set up u-values for doors and windows and have them show in the schedules, but you might have to change all that later. Of course, here in California, we have the toughest energy codes in the nation.

I haven't noticed anything yet.

it's already there in beam framing under "with joists" or "under joists", I just wish it were in the edit toolbar instead having to open a DBX and find it.

make sure you also check "mark as edited" at any roof planes you want to be left unchanged.

so far so good with me
