Hello, Does Chief have a wall surface for Pine V Joint Paneling (both horizontal and vertical)? I am drawing a few cabin plans and the interior walls want to be V Joint paneling. Thanks in advance. Lane

Yup. I shut the program down, opened it up again and it showed up correctly. --Lane

I closed the program down, opened it up again and the settings took effect. Thanks for the offer. Lane

Thanks. It was not checked, so I checked it. Still no change, the siding does not cover the sill plate. Unless I am seeing it wrong, but even though the sill plate is the same exterior color as the siding, I still see the 1-1/2" sill plate, then the full height siding in all elevation views. I do not see any options for extending the siding in the dialogue box.

Apparently Chief thinks siding should not cover the sill plate, so in all of the elevation views, the siding starts above the sill plate. Is there a setting to make the siding start 1/2" below the sill plate so it covers the foundation top by 1/2"? Thanks in advance, Lane

Yes, nifty! Thanks!

Thanks!

Is there a method to edit an insulation rectangle? I would like the cross section view to look more professional, and to do that the insulation block needs to be angled on one side to match the roof angle. As it is now, I have to make a separate, smaller insulation block to fill in, but that makes the cross section and Chief look like it was drawn with one of those $25.00 CAD house design programs. Thanks in advance, Lane Here is the screenshot of the issue:

Thanks!

How does Chief calculate the height of the Energy Heel on trusses? Is it from the top of the plate to the top of the Top Chord? Thanks, Lane

I took me a while but I finally got it. Thanks! Lane

The exterior walls meeting up are a 4" wall going into a 6" wall. Then there is a 4" wall intersecting both. I cannot get the exterior walls to join up, and the siding shows a gap on the exterior elevation views. Here is a screen shot. Thanks in advance! Lane

Bingo! Thanks!

Try changing it from a deck to a porch.
