DRAWZILLA

Lew there is another thread on layout and plan setup, check it out

I knew Larry would know.

no problems on this side either

I also do it this way because I need a foundation plan for con doc's.

Yes I have many wall elevation cameras ,and many elevation-section cameras saved in my template plan also. off to the side, then just move them into place or delete them as needed. The room problem is there but very easy to change and not a problem for me, just remember to set your default rooms first thing so when you name your rooms all the defaults come with them. Don't create your slab or raised floor until you have named the rooms first

yes anything I have drawn on the template, sometimes it is better to not copy items and sometimes you need to add setup for new items.

I copy all items from my old template plans to the new profile plan and import some of the other items shown

me too.

I would try this using the deck tool, No railing, on the 2nd floor weather you have one or not, that's how I do lattice patio covers, at least you can adjust the deck layers and spacing to what you want. Easy to change joists direction also.. There might be some fix up but a lot faster than using p-solids.

Around here we only use solid 4 x headers which has some energy efficiency just be being thick, never use the double headers.

Yes, the plan views are indeed incorporated into my template plans, never have to set them up again

I didn't .like it at first but now I love them and have become as fast as Scott with his hot keys.

yes, I've noticed your puter a little slow lately on line, when you have go to meeting going it takes a lot of recourses.

"Quickly learning" doesn't happen, I'm always learning, don't know everything yet.

Scott Hall just had an online meeting about this, and we have believed for a long time ,this is a bug but never gets fixed

thanks Joe

You can now cut and shape the views any way you want. That's new also

That looks like a metal roof to me.

build them and watch what happens

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TRUSSES. There is a problem with trusses framing correctly over other roofs, sometimes the eaves will not frame. with a roof below and vice versa. its been that way for a lot of versions now.

Here's how, the builders ignor it in the field

Taking a stab: do you have trusses on the 2nd floor.

In X10 you can tell Chief where to look for libs.(data folder) wherever they might reside. Some people put the whole Data folder on another drive or Cloud service.

Chief still won't generate an automatic attic wall where no wall below exists.

I think I have also worked it out.
