DRAWZILLA

if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll do it in X8 for you.

nice job, haven't played around with it yet myself.

yes I do, you have it all

Sense of humor, I like you already.

it's saved at no scale, not so sloppy and I can change them any time. I have thousands of cad details I brought with me when I first started Chief ,and I'm not about to re-draw all of those so it worked out good for me. Scaling is not an issue for me b/c I don't want anyone scaling the details, always dimension if it needs it.

your room dividers were located to the outer line of the deck I moved them under the out looker beams and made that room separate from the deck room, then it framed ok. you may have to add the side deck that I took away here is your plan fixed SMITH_ADDITION_7TH_IDEA.plan

I always put details directly from the lib. to the layout without any problems, its just you can scale it, which I don't want any, I just want it readable. no scaling details on my plans

Maybe it means Designs wacko, but it is good advice.

From a cad detail--it lets you scale it. / from the lib.--no scaling, just insert it, grab a corner, make it the size you want and re-save to the lib.

looked at those roof planes and they are cutting at the eaves for me.

Shouldn't have to do that though. BTW, I opened your plan in X9 and it looks fine without doing anything.

The sub-fascia controls the depth of the exposed overhang rafter area but does not control the ridges and hips ( ridges and hips are really just ridges in the DBX). This in my mind is wrong of Chief to lump them all into one item called ridges. They should be separate. For me, they are not the same sizes most of the time. Ridges and hip are structural and a 2x just won't work. Just make your rafters a 2x6 and ridge a 2x12 and you will see that they don't clip on the outside or the inside, they will show up in the camera views, inside and out. So to fix that for the camera views I have to make my ridges to match the rafters. Of course, we all know it's not built that way. Pleas Chief give us control of the ridges and hips to have separate control for each one. I have asked for a lot of years now.

wow, nice lot, if I lived there ,I wouldn't need to work , I could hunt for food.

Nice Dermot, but who would have thought the Use Enhanced lighting was in anyway connected to the reflections.

Maybe the mirror material is different in X9 than X8. I know when Chief started the new reflection tool I couldn't use the old mirror material. You might be using an old material, try to choose a mirror material from the lib. BTW, your plan reflects good in X9 for me

Very good videos for anyone having problems getting it to work, nice job. You might also want to send these in to Bug Central . They might not see these. I love the way you dig deep in your videos.

here is a short video of the problem I see

24" deep also here, min ,unless you have a soils report then sometimes you can go 18" deep. Post tension slabs are even less than that.

open each camera view DBX, first page. Select a camera view on the layout, open it, open the property's DBX

put a roof on it to block the light, see if that works

My comment has nothing to do with the monitors, it's about camera views sent to the layout, always update might just use the resources you need to draw with. On demand means the views will only update when you ask it to. No resources used in the background while you are drawing.

if you have the plan and layout open at the same time , you could turn off the camera view option to always update, and change to on demand.

mine says 4095 when I actually have 6 gb

They won't allow window treatments as a solution around here

that used to be a problem, in past versions, but I'm not getting it now.
