Make your second floor, Build the roof and use truss tool,truss option-attic room truss. It will take some manual editing in truss detail window, if you want all the braces to work the same. once edited lock truss and copy. hth

The old FMRs approach! But of course Once again very nice job!

Jon Very nice Raytrace! How did you paint the floor?

go to first floor, make sure layer, "framing, floor" is turned on find the extra board and delete. hth

How about dimensions that look like this. It would work for both framing and foundation.

I can help you, I am in Minnesota. Give a call. -
Made this in chief a while back. It was modeled from a pre made one you could buy. Don't recall the mfg. enjoy, if you find it useful. 6-12 cupola.calibz

I haven't tried this Larry, I suppose it would take a bit of time to get thru. I have been using caps lock as well, but then switch to typing an email and look up to see all caps! doh

I meant to say a wall material region tool was used, instead of a pony wall. if the face of the wall is the same you shouldn't get those unwanted lines.

It is the material region you used in that location to make the wall have a different color stucco. I would suggest using a pony wall if you want this to look like that

Skirby Here is a copy of your plan. Look inside to see how it was made. Also the numbers in the sketch were off a little. and the pitch on the model is 6-12 so adapted to that pitch. hth, sommers 3-FIX.plan

Brian, Chief has a bonus library called log truss components. if your pitch and length is a common one, they have pre made ones. Other wise individual logs to make your own.

I am seeing the same behavior Tommy.

Roof and wall conflict wont go away (X8 problem?)
MPDesign replied to 4hotshoez's topic in General Q & A
Hi Todd, Here is a repaired copy The fascia hgt of the bathroom roof plane was off. (203 7/8) should be 204 1/2 I found the ceiling planes in the room next to this offending wall to be the problem. Both planes are set extending into the wall to the exterior of framing layer. This is not the correct placement. Pulled the plane inside the room. left the base line on exterior of wall how you placed it. I place my ceilings on the inside of the wall framing to start the plane. 1505T15-mp.plan -
David, That did the trick, I downloaded the folder to the same location as the plan and all textures are present when opening the plan! thanks again!
-
David, Thank you for your time and expertise! I have no Idea why it doesn't work on my puter, is it a setting in windows 10 maybe? I tried a new download of calibz file and the plan. no joy. this is the error message I get. Try the backup entire plan, select the files to be sent to a zip. This is how a sample file download from Chief comes. I think since you copied and renamed the original texture file, chief has lost its link to the location of the texture.

LOL Lew good one!

Great tip Yusuf, we could also use this method for exposed stringers.

thank you Joe!!!

Is There A Way To Change The 'name' Of An Electrical Item?
MPDesign replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Larry In the fixture (component) dbx -
Hey fellow users I looked at this again and if the beam pocket is no more than half way to the exterior of the wall. It doesn't cut the foundation wall. I suppose this makes sense, most pockets are only 4 inches deep.

I am also missing the textures.
