This can happen if the Roof Planes are not sitting on the top plate properly  ie you raised roof Planes manually to get the right heel height,

and Chief will frame the "space"  Automatically.

 

M.

WOW....all these years, i alway raised the Roof 12" for heel height. But just never noticed that Chief framed that additional wall above the Main Wall.

just looking back at all my other Plans.....and there it is!!

thank you all!!

hi all,

what is that Extra height thats on my Wall (and being frame) thats being added above my Floor Height setting thats at 97 1/8"?

hi,

what is the Setting to cap/closed the end wall?

this 3d view just show that it's not.

looking to buy a X12 license.

PM if have.

hi all,

i have 2 .plan open.....

when i select Perspective Framing Overview.....one plan would show the Framing view as it should.

when on the other plan....select Perspective Framing Overview....it just show the Perspective Full Overview

where is the Setting to change the Perspective Framing Overview....to show Framing.

not sure what else am I missing. 

can't still have the  -S- Step Markers to display.

Where do I turn on the setting to display the Step Marker on the Foundation Plan Set??

i do have the Step Marker layer display turn On.

is there a real practical use for Auto Interior Dimension???

takes 1click & 1/2 second to auto dim your drawing (awsome!!! and useful)

then 10 minutes to select and delete unwanted dims.

is there better solution to this??

i think it has something to do with the Dimension lines.

i had couple old dim. style lines from previous imports.

i deleted it and created a new dim style.

seem to be ok now. like Chopsaw...nothing as extreme as before with the old dim. lines.

yes. i have came across the same problem.

the 5 blocks created in the minimum area of the objects is in the box.

but the other 2 have a larger block area, even those there's no objects outside the red box.

hi,

where or what Text Style is use for the Temporary Dim. lines.

i would like to make it big, as i sometime use it when i manually stretch the poly line.

thank you.

have anyone done any 3D printing on their project.

can you share some pics??

i am interested and looking into getting 3D Printing.

hi,

is there a option to Build / Rebuild the pile layout.

like the way CA have the  Build Floor Framing??

when you adjust your walls, and click Build Floor Framing, it will rebuild the floor framing to the new wall.

is there a way to do that for the piles.... for when you adjust you foundation wall. then you can rebuild you Pile accordingly.

is the a way to change the default Space Planning  "Room Box Specification" default properties??

like.... when you draw a room using Space Planning room .(ie bedroom, bath...) the box draws in by default as Solid linetype, angle hatch Fill, linetweight=1

i would like the change the default to ...no fill,  Dotted linetype. lineweight=10

if you're "new" to CA.

just whatever computer you have. if you have Mac...use it, if you have PC, use that.

CA will work for both PC, and Mac.

no point in burning couple $K on a computer when you're just starting up.

If you are not on a MAC,  I think you can hold down the CONTROL or COMMAND key while opening another instance of CA.

 

It has been discussed before.

On a Mac...

i was able to open 2 Layouts in Mac running X8 today.

try this....

do your opening file by Double Clicking on the Layout file in your Finder, instead of CA Open Dialog.

AND.... quickly Double Click again on the same Layout, while the 1st Layout is still in process of opening.

the trick is open the 2nd or 3rd layout before the 1st is 100% completely open up. 

try it and post your result.

hi,

is there a toggle to change the Door Swing before you insert the door.

When I first initiate to Insert a door, my door swing is always on the left.

 I would have to insert the door, and take an extra step to Flip the door.

 Is there a way to toggle the door to the right, then initiate the insert.

thanks,

hi,

where is the Setting to turn On/Off the Base board trim in a Room?

i have this plan from a client... and i has baseboard On in the Garage. i would like to turn them Off or just delete them.

thanks,

hi,

just wondering if some can shed some light on this....

i've drawn 2 piers... (16"dia. x 25' deep) 

one by generated for drawing the foundation wall, the other by using the draw Slab function. both have the same dimension. so, both should be 35 cu ft = 1.29 cu yd.

but when generating the Material List...

the auto generated Pier in the foundation wall is 20.69 Cu. yd, which dont make any sense.

and the other "Slab-concrete" pier is 1.29 cu. yd....which is correct.

any idea why the discrepancy??

Pier Test.plan

new macOS, anyone running w/ CA X8 yet??

thanks dermot.

i figured that it has to have it, and it must be the same as in the Stairs. 

somehow i just did NOT see that .... lol

hi,

is there an option to turn On/Off the handrail to show in Plan view, for a ramp? like they have in the Stairs.

hi,

i havent grasp the method on how to Rotate an object by manually entering the Degree.

i know that Line is currently 67..Degree... by drwing a line that Perpen. to it and listing the property of it.

i want to rotate my Property line, that my left Lot line to be 90 degree.

...

I wonder why ca would have foam outside of main layers as a standard?

 

David

it's just CA's standard and i'm sure it's meant to be a "recommendation" to the users.

it dosent have to be your standard or my "standard". it's not set in stone that it has to be that way.

the beauty of CA is that...it do allow very flexible option for the users to customize to their standard practice.
