Not sure what you mean by " Disclosure tables"? Haven't heard that term.

Gotcha, good luck,

Bob, are you saying you would do a whole new house for 800 bucks? How do you survive at those rates. You must do a lot of business.

I like to lock it for safety and highly recommend it, you can lock the layer or the cad block.

Put that cad block, and unblocked lines, on a separate layer so you know where they are, and lock it if you find yourself losing lines.

Now that the king of hot keys(Scott) is gone, hot keys just blow.

I just use a cad mask set behind the floor plan, so when you remove a wall, the dotted line cad mask will automatically show up. There is a video on Chief's web site.

You can try to restore windows and see if that brings it back.

For electrical lights just insert the cad block and only one will be included in the sched., but will show on both floors.

Thank you Glen , that's what I was trying to say but was too busy to explain.

I always use the box scale in the layout box label and never have that problem.

You need to create an open below room over the stairs for them to show, or you haven't checked the see floor below in camera defaults. You can also use the auto stair hole tool

also make sure the layout and plan files are in the same folder

All I can say at this point is post the plan and someone can see for sure.

I can see that the lower roof plane is in the way so the walls can't generate. Just move the roof plane back.

I would unblock that not explode it.

I don't think Chief will exactly model that, just get it as close as you can and use the detail callout for exact conditions. You will have to do some cover-up in the sections also. You might be able to get the floor close though using a custom floor system.

Post a picture, not sure what you are talking about.

sorry-not seeing that problem.

I don't do it anymore until Chief fixes this, been around a very long time. If I did, you have to create 2 different walls, 1 for new, and 1 for existing. the pattern would be on the new stucco (transparent of course) wall. Anytime you have two different materials join in Chief it will create a line in vector view . for me its easier to cross hatch the existing areas using a white line so you don't have to outline the exact areas involved, put it in the front of the view, like a mask.

Well, it's just not the correct way of doing it, the separation line should be dotted and the walls should be solid, automatically without having to manually do it.

Between the 2 (new and existing) does Chief still create that line in vector view? That's why I don't do it anymore, unless they fixed that.

I agree with you 1 million percent.

You are correct, I don't think It's always been that way. Never noticed , as I usually build roof planes and attic walls manually. It's just what I remember.

Chief will not generate an attic wall where there is no wall below.
