    Sometimes I go up to the second floor, or create one if there isn't, and just create a no rail deck--builds perfectly and all adjustable. I hate doing 2x2 lattice so just do it in the decking DBX

    Sometimes I tickle myself too.

    Yes use a template plan for all your basic settings. You'll never have to set them again.

    Chief's "print to PDF" creates very large files, sometimes to big to send

    What I really want to know is, who tickled you , is there something going on in your office?

    For me printing to PDF has got a lot slower in each new version, but it does work.

    as long as they are rooms it will find the levels

    My title 24 guy just takes it off the floor plan and with Joes header macro you can adjust exactly what to show on the floor plan.

    I have set up my remodeling template plans to have all the existing items not to show up in any schedules. When I start the as-builts ,everything is existing, then when done do a save as -existing, then start the new and change everything over to new, including new walls, windows, doors , cabinets, etc. The schedules just fill out automatically. Everything for new and existing is already in my remodeling template plan.

    I just didn't get it, one of those days, I guess

    remember ,for the soffit problem ,to rebuild your roof planes with each change, unless you have auto roof framing on.
  14. DRAWZILLA
    or just use a balloon frame wall, that's how they would build it.

    Thanks Michael.

    It's not 2700 to upgrade, it's less depending on what version you have
  17. DRAWZILLA
    are the downloaded manufacture files still in your download file on your computer.
  18. DRAWZILLA
    Did you turn off auto floor framing, if it is, turn it on and use the joist direction tool, it should work. Make sure the deck is not locked also. Under decking turn on auto framing or re-frame it.

    I know Michael (Alaskan_ son) has a nice purple one. Maybe he will put it up again in this thread.
  20. DRAWZILLA
    boy, do I need one of those.
  21. DRAWZILLA
    floor trusses are manually inserted ,so you need to select them all and use transform / replicate to raise or lower them or just delete them ,change the floor height and re-do.

    I used to draw in Softplan switched to Chief 12 years ago and never looked back. Chief is so much easier to learn.
  23. DRAWZILLA
    it does that with every version update during beta and every new version.. no return after that ,so be sure you want to go forward.
  24. DRAWZILLA
    I was just trying to do it automatically, you can just offset the footing in the garage to match the stem wall also automatically., isn't that better then workarounds? There does come a time when you need to shut off auto foundations and manually fix but not in this simple design.
  25. DRAWZILLA
    good thing b/c you really don't need any workarounds anyway for this condition, but there are other conditions that you will need the invisible wall, not sure why you are getting the sill.
