  1. I don't see any defaults, I guess we have to make it as needed. Then copy
  2. ok, well I have found curved roofs don't tend to play well in chief. no matter the version. Hope you get it sorted.
  3. Hi Shane, I had a look at the trim issue and I think its caused by the curved roof section. I'm not sure if you intended it to be curved. I took the liberty to change it to straight sections and it is doing a better job of joining the trim. attached a sample to look at. hope that helps, Michael Hidden Oaks 34-rooftest-1.zip
  4. Happy New Year! Question-thoughts: Is your roof framing 2x6? Seat cut correct? Did you auto frame or manual ceiling framing?
  5. 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?
  6. I went down the path to attempt this look, style using wood and standing seam roof. Created in x16.
  7. 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.
  8. 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"
  9. I can't figure it out quick, so I turned on the option to use the secondary dimension option showing decimal feet.
  10. I believe the dimension text size is set by layer now. That is why the option is only for temp dimensions now.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
