Thanks!

I am attaching a plan where my footings are all solid lines, even though they are dashed lines in the specifications box. How do I change them to dashed lines? Also, can a footing, independent of the wall it supports be re-configured. I want to create an extension of the main footing which will support a concrete pier for a deck. I will place the pier manually. Alternately, can I create a pilaster on the exterior of the foundation where the top of the pilaster is "x" inches below the main foundation wall? It can be seen on the foundation plan view in the front deck area. Thanks in advance. Lane Wood Street Putnam Valley PLAN.zip

Great!

Thanks!

Thanks! That was a lot less painful than I thought it would be.

Hello Again Is there (there has to be, Chief is a CAD Drafting program) a dialog box or other way of accurately spacing porch posts, when none of the posts will be equally spaced apart? Thanks in advance, Lane

That's what I want to do. the RO is the actual door size. But chief wants to add an extra 1/2"

In the template plan I am setting up, I have the Default 1st and 2nd floor joists set @ 9-1/2", both with a 3/4" Sub-Floor. The ceiling height for both floors is set @ 97-1/8", so the total rise, 1st to 2nd floor is 107-3/8". In the Stair Default dialog box, the stair height is set at 121-1/2", and apparently this cannot be changed in the stair dialog box. So, how do I change the stair default height to 97-1/8". Next, in the Default settings for garage doors, the Rough Opening should be the same as the door size, but the program adds a "minimum" for the rough opening. How do I eliminate the additional space so the rough opening size is the actual door size? Thanks in advance, Lane

Found it.

The text size is correct, but the circle around the text needs to be smaller.

My electrical labels somehow changed their size for the 2nd floor layout. The 1st and 2nd floors did not change. So now I need to change the label size for the electrical labels. Where is the magic button to do this? Thanks in advance. Lane

This mornings agita is two fold. 1. How do I stop dimensions from changing size when I zoom in and zoom out? 2. How do I get labels to show for doors in an elevation view? The window labels populate, but not the door labels. Everything checked for the windows is checked for the doors. The plan file is attached. Look at either Elevation 1 or Front Elevation Thanks, Lane Apollino Proposed Plan.zip

Where do I find the dialog box to change the size of the roof plane pitch and arrow labels? Thanks. Lane

Thanks!
