Hello Robert, Do your plans work the same with the X18 release and its new features?

In addition to many of the things mentioned already I really like the added control for when extending walls and not have them snap to an adjacent wall. I also like the scrolling feature for when working in bigger projects.

That's awesome!

Yes, I've had that happen to me. For me usually selecting "balloon through ceiling above" for the main floor wall works. I did it on your TestPlan and that seemed to fix the missing drywall portion. I did have to manually shape the porch wall above the roof the get the exterior wall to build correctly. There are probably better chiefers that can explain exactly why it happens which might be more helpful.

Hello Robert, Yes, definitely would be interested in this and I think this would add value to my current workflow. As for the regional details, I would be interested in a better template for my plot plans and for my elevations better limiting distance calculations concerning the glazing in a wall. Also, I haven't done much material take-offs for my projects as I have not been asked but I have this on my list to add as a service. Not sure if you have that in your templates but if you would have that, it would be an easy way for me to expand my services. Not sure if those are the kind of thoughts your were asking for as the real experts can probably give you better direction but I just wanted to let you know that I'm interested.

Thank you, looking forward to it !!

What has happened to X18? I have not seen a "what's new" video about X18 yet. To me it seems they are later with releasing info compared to other versions.

Is there a date set for this already?

Looked right past it for many times. Thanks!! Gerard

Sorry I don't know what you mean. Do you have X18 already? I'm probably looking right at it but I don't know what tool you are talking about.

Hello Ken, I had started doing that but with the plan I am working on has several cross sections and the trusses do not all go into the same direction so I was hoping that there would be a faster way. Thanks for your help! That is what I was used to but I wanted to try to show more of the rest of the house with the current plan and thought to give it a try but maybe I need to go back to the old ways again. Thanks!

Is it possible to have the spaces in between the truss webbing filled rather than that they are see through? It would make cross sections so much cleaner when you don't see 20+ truss webs that don't align or are different shapes because of the roof outline. Any suggestions on how to make a non back clipped cross section still look clean and not cluttered? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I added a ceiling finish in the Room Specifications in those rooms and that seemed to have added the ceiling.

Google maps says Spokane is 34 miles away from Chief Architect headquarters. They might have someone that knows a little bit about the program

I feel kind of dumb, but for some reason I never saw your reply till today. Still a belated thank you for your reply!!
