You need to get your referenced plans fixed before you will know what window schedule to fix. Once you are dealing with the correct window schedule, you control what displays here:

Hang a platform. Four connection points, 2 adjacent trusses' top chords. No worries about overloading bottom chords. Less vibration and noise below. Better drainage slope on primary and secondary pan drains. Easier access.

Step 1. Post the plan.

Howdy Steve, Smart. Nice. Thanks for posting. Best, Charles

Don't tell anybody but 45 years in December, all told.

Howdy Frank, I prefer an online meeting or a short video for them to review, then an online meeting. That way, you both can communicate the pros and cons, ideas, etc. Best, Charles

Here is one... Door - Bookcase.zip

Exactly. Or 2 x 2 TB to get the 2nd slot then you can upgrade the drives later when you need larger drives and they are cheaper. BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR SLOTS CAN HANDLE LARGER DRIVES. They may change the motherboard with these different configurations. Best, Charles

Cannot use Layer Display Options Dialog: The Layer Display Options dialog controls the display of layers in a selected layer set. From any view, select Tools> Layer Settings> Display Options to open this dialog. Have to use Active Layer Display Options: The Active Layer Display Options side window allows you to access the layer settings for the currently active Layer Set or the Object Layer Properties for the currently selected object. Select View> Active Layer Display Options to open or close this side window. I am not sure why CA does not merge the two. Any ideas?

I use molding polylines...

Or the camera becomes inactive and will only show if its layer is turned on or it is made active again.

Howdy Michael, Your end walls have no room definition selected.

Could be: Minimum Display Size specifies the minimum display size of Temporary Dimensions and Labels, in pixels. For labels, this is the on-screen size and does not affect printed or exported output.

Try holding down the Ctrl key and dragging or using the Transform/Replicate tool.

DB was saying that he reproduced your problem situation by reducing fascia to 4". Make your subfascia deeper or your roof structure (rafters probably) less deep. Best, Charles

I like molding polylines. Video

copy and rename it

Maybe you are changing the definition for wall type instead of copying the wall type, renaming it, then making changes. Or using the spray can without a license.

Here are my notes from previous posts, the manual, etc: Older Chief Architect Versions: X9 does not support reading in plans with the .pl# or .la# extension (files from any versions older then Version 10 (2005). CA 10 (2005) creates *.plan files.). To open these older plans in X9+, first open these files in X8 (or use the free client viewer for Chief X8) and save them which will be in the newer format as a .plan or .layout file. X8 will open plans back to Chief Architect 97 (released August 1997). Version 9 is required to open pre-August 1997 .pln files. Keep X8 (or X8 Desktop Viewer) until all old plans are updated. Chief Architect Viewer (free) allows you to actually view files from any version of Chief Architect from X9 back to Version 10. You won't be able to modify the model but you could at least create camera views. Notes: 1. If you no longer have access to Chief Architect X8, Home Designer 2017, or an earlier version, the X8 Desktop Viewer can be downloaded and used for this process. Once installed, continue with Step 2 below. 2. Plans created in versions prior to Chief Architect '97 (version 5) or 3D Home Architect Deluxe 3.0 will not open successfully in Chief Architect X8 or Home Designer 2017 and earlier versions. 3. Chief Architect never could open drawings from 3D Home Architect® 5.0 or later, as these programs were not created by the same company. Notes from Help: 1. After an older version file has been opened in the newer program, the plan may not appear exactly as it did when it was initially created. For example, textures and 3D symbol objects from the discontinued version may not be recognized. There may be missing electrical and other object defaults, and warning messages may display on opening the file, as well as taking 3D camera views, in regards to these objects. While you could try to replace all of the missing textures, objects, and defaults using materials and symbols from your current Home Designer Library Browser, the real advantage of being able to view the older file is to reference dimensions and object placement. In order to have all of the capabilities available in a current version plan, such as Wall Types and other features, recreating the plan in the current version of Chief Architect may be necessary and is recommended. 2. Plans created in versions prior to Chief Architect '97 (version 5) or 3D Home Architect Deluxe 3.0 will not open successfully in Chief Architect X8 or Home Designer 2017 and earlier versions. Chief Architect never could open drawings from 3D Home Architect® 5.0 or later, as these programs were not created by the same company. More information can be found in the X9 Reference Manual or the X10 Reference Manual on Page 54, "Compatibility with Previous Versions", and on Page 1338 and Page 1369, respectively, "New and Improved Features by Chapter - File Management".

Nice Robert!

If you are talking about the drywall not wrapping, check your wall layers and make sure you have an interior/exterior layer and that it is not set to zero thickness.

I don't see any walls that disappeared.

Make sure you get enough solid-state hard drive size and number for your needs. I bought an Alien Aurora R12 a couple of years ago. Now I wished I had two SSHD slots allowing at least 4Tb each. I will get two slots next time for sure as that lets you move data quickly for upgrading and/or backup from one drive to the other.

Stairs' square footage interesting thought regarding ANSI Z765-2021 Square Footage - Method for Calculating: The area of stairs is included in living area for every floor they access. Many builders and physical-minded people usually want to count the stairs in a 2-story build once (not twice), even if you have storage under part of the stairs. But if you consider a 10-story building with nine flights of stairs, then you see that counting the stairs on every floor might be best.
