Paul, My first guess is that the roof baseline is not over the wall main layer. Second is the wall default top height has been changed. Best to post a stripped-down copy of the plan for best answers. Also what version of Chief are you using?

Architectural panels (siding) which catalogue?
MPDesign replied to cfichter's topic in General Q & A
Try materials, Siding and Paneling, Fiber Cement, panels See if that material will work. Resize material to mfg spec. as required using the rainbow tool icon. -
Excellent, glad it worked!

In your foundation wall defaults image, middle of picture. "Elevation of lower wall top" try setting this to -8" - then check the alignment with main layer inside. Also you may have to extend (in your wall dbx) your brick ledge depth to floor thickness + 8"

I can't figure it out quick, so I turned on the option to use the secondary dimension option showing decimal feet.
-
I believe the dimension text size is set by layer now. That is why the option is only for temp dimensions now.
-
There is one option to adjust your number view type in dbx to decimal feet. Then you just enter numbers and it makes it feet.

I just tested my metric plan template, all working as expected. All views showing metric sizes. Were you using beta before the full release? I would suggest try a repair install, then tech support if that doesn't work.

X17 - Can't change foundation height anymore? wtf?
MPDesign replied to Michael_Gia's topic in General Q & A
Shot in the dark, did you rebuild the foundation after setting to 24"? Is the room set to unspecified or a room name? Are the defaults for foundation set to your desired settings? Just some thoughts. -
Help Sizing Mulled Window Unit to Match Frame Size
MPDesign replied to DefinedDesign's topic in General Q & A
In my experience, you need to make sure your default setting for minimum separation is set to 0. Then your rough opening settings are set to the Manufacturer's offset. test plan for review attached. mulled window test.plan -
@madcowscarnival I have my setting unchecked as Chris mentioned, I forgot to mention that part. it has been set like that for so long
-
The blocking in Allen's picture is set to 1/16" and not checked on. Not at my computer. Maybe turning back on?

Have you tried the enter key? that works for x16

claddings Wall layers lapping over each other
MPDesign replied to NZ-DESIGNER's topic in General Q & A
I would recommend using a polyline solid for this instance. I tested your example and came up with the same result. It seams that the wall auto wraps the end with the exterior layer material in elevations.
