Go to build roof dbx and rebuild fascia and roof trim, that should remove leftover trim.

Use a pony wall, set the height of the lower wall off the floor.

I really like my Asus G750! Core I7 2.4ghz, 12 gig ram, 1T media drive and I added an SSD for the primary C drive. Boots in 8 seconds! 2 gig Nvidia card You wont be disappointed, good quality build and great battery life.

Graham That is great info! thank you for taking the time to compile the data! cheers, Michael

lock the pitch and change the fascia height

Austin, Check this section camera in this quick model. hth, Michael sip-walls-roof.zip

Terry, Have a look at this model and how I made the wall. regards, Michael strawbale wall model.zip

It has to do with the red color you are using. If you want it to not to go black use a lighter color of red. RGB color (R-255,G-70, B-70) it appears after testing this that if your green, blue is below 60-65 it looks black.

Rich I actually went around the perimeter first and then made rows up and down on screen. Even added a few randomly at the end to fill in a couple spots. I just tried this to see it again. open geoplaner and upload the file I shared. It will fill in the points in order of there original clicking order.

Great job Jon ! I love it!

I had the same issue yesterday morning. (~30 seconds is an eternity on a computer) I thought it was my computer acting up! Rebooted several times, checked task manager and the process was running but not the application. It finally opened after shutting the computer off and I walked away cursing till about 8:15 central. I like Jon's thought about a fail safe, How about a password access with a challenge question as backup?

I think Its certainly close enough for approximate terrain modeling. Its an easy way to make a terrain in your plans. It used to take me quite a bit of time to get half way decent results from chiefs tools and images of elevation maps from google and county websites..

Hey gang, Glad it worked for you Bruce & Mike. Wow Bruce 500 point markers, that took a few minutes. Scott & Perry Navigate to your lot. zoom in so you can see lot boundary lines. Place about 100 + markers over your lot or area. Chief extrapolates the contours better with more points. Then export the waypoints. Then import the gpx file into chief using the gps import function. Rebuild terrain and presto! Here is a file that I made about 220 or so points. It is in Steamboat CO. waypoints (1).zip

I messed with it for a bit. It wasn't liking the walls only on 2nd flr. As you said no finished bottom to floor platform. I didnt try building the framing though. Maybe thats the answer. I would stick with your approach of soffits and solids.

Hi Bruce, I have had success with this gps data using this website. http://www.geoplaner.com/ Type in your address or cordinates, start adding waypoints around your property and export in .gpx to import into chief. It works really well, at least did for me.

Scott, I did the following to get it to work. Open attic wall dbx and uncheck the no locate and room def options. Increase 2nd floor open below room ceiling height to 548".

ooh! well thank you anyway!

Wow Joe that is very generous of you! Thank you, will put to use since Anderson is right in the neighborhood! Dennis- I played around with the ctrl override, success! thank you for the reminder. cheers!

I would ask questions here specific to your challenge in chief. Lots of great help and free! Feel free to Pm or email me if you wish

General venting, trying to use this yesterday I don't think the bay, and bow units work very well at all. The exterior casings will not connect even with the no framing between command checked. I cannot resize the side windows to be big enough to connect to the center picture unit. Even with ignore casing for opening resize checked off. Hey Joe, how do/did you make custom units.

+18, as in 18 is the number of years I have been using Chief! and stairs are still an issue.

Mike Go to the roof tools, fix all roof command. Add your freeze board there and it will place freeze on all roof planes.
