That did it! I was one version back. OH Happy Day!

I am trying that now, I see the latest driver date is 2-28-2023. thx Ken!

I would use post and ceiling beam tools to get them where you want.

IMHO I think this is accurately telling you the opening info of the condition in the wall. If there is a door or window, there is an opening. It needs to report the existing condition in the wall. Doesn't matter the opening type.

I was having this problem with a test model recently. I have an invisible wall between a living room and kitchen and when I installed a trey ceiling it changes the ceiling in both rooms. Note the pink ceiling plane is in both rooms. I tried different wall types and settings with no luck. So I found the solution playing with your test plan, if you explode the tray ceiling and pull back the ceiling perimeter to the ceiling break line it works as expected. TEST-ceiling-tray.plan

Hi, I have been following the other thread on space mouse pro and downloaded the xml file that @ComputerMaster86 so graciously shared. Thank you! I was able to load the file and get the radial menu to show on screen. But once I click on the icon in the menu it doesn't activate the tool? Maybe the space mouse pro is different than the space mouse enterprise version, some how? or I'm missing something. I have confirmed that it worked for @KenL-sdd, thank you for your time trying to get it to work on my computer! Any one else using this model? thank you.

thank you Ken, looking at them and got it to link to my buttons! but they don't activate the tool when I click on the wall radial menu.

How many menus are in there? Walls and?

I also have the space mouse enterprise and struggled with using it to its full potential! This thread has inspired me to get mine working and use the radial menu's! Thank you @ComputerMaster86 for the menu file! now to get it to work and saved so I don't loose it.

Hi Larry, Try saving the active view once its filled the view and positioned the way you want.

Hi, I made a section 6' long with solids and general framing, then turned into a symbol. set the elevation to absolute and copied across the lot. It is buried in the ground but the top is level! fence-top-level.plan

I made this from a 3d framing view and some solid layers applied in elevation, notes added in 3d view, with 3d arrows from the library. it took about an hour fussing.

That label is refering to the layer in the wall type dbx. Your framing must be on layer 2. This is the view label (what your looking at) not the wall label.

pm sent.

Hi Dennis, Just some idea's. You could turn off color before you send it to layout. Or turn off color in layout. Turn off wall layers. Change the fill in wall types. Lots of ways to accomplish. A picture would help.

Hi Ethan, I was playing around with this issue. I found that if you make a separate furred wall inside, then frame it. Change the header size and then copy the 2x6 header. Turn off the label for one of them. Then last thing is lock the framing in that wall!

Thank you Ryan, I have used that setting for terrain topo lines before. Just not for an elevation marker. Learned 2 things today!

cool didn't notice that dialog before. thank you!

Hi Joey, I found that using a marker and adding the text to top and bottom works. The auto story pole doesn't play nice. By the way how did you get your 1/8" number to be small like the special characters in macros?

Try the roof beams tool. It will place the beam under the roof.

Hi Larry, Another thought, you could use temp dimensions to move it, select the 3d solid on the face you want to move and select the dimension box and enter 0 and the move all icon on the right.

Hi Paul, I opened your plan and rebuilt the floor framing and it works as it should.

Hi John, Welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you can let us know what version of chief your are using? Also some pictures are helpful! I have a home that matches your description and use case. I ended up putting a single pitch over the screen porch. The hip concept wouldn't work with out a flat area on the top.

It is driven by the layer text style.
