Just one example, all drawn with Chief. Many, many capabilities of CAD. Polylines, lines, circles, etc. I have concluded long ago that whatever I can draw on paper, I'd rather draw it in with CA....

Do you have the same issue when you test it on your end? Maybe you could post a link?

The only auto update is the Living Area label.

 

If you need something different, a polyline, or polylines is the way.

 

Here is some info that may or may not help.

 

 

Unless I am missing something, I suspect this will not work in versions previous to X12?

This is kind of like asking how much a car costs per pound.

OR.... pertaining to house prices - what is the price per ft²?

In Saved Text Styles, edit the Room Label Style. Of course, you could copy it first and tweak it for your current project and revert back anytime.

Hint...

In Wall Types, define the wall and set your brick ledge height there.

PS, or....

Build Roof, Edit All Roof Planes, Frieze....

Roof Plane Specification, Frieze and add your selection of Molding Profiles.

Highlight the text THEN change the text to the height you desire.

Sometimes I like to do a whole plan in curves instead of segments.

 

Draw the arrow horizontal, release mouse, then right away grab the arrowhead end and CRTL-ALT to curve it where needed.

That's awesome! Oh, the power of CA!

Try placing a marker on layout page zero and then you can point to point move anything to that marker.

A pony wall works too -- Room Divider on bottom. Use a Wall Cap to cover the exposed framing.

 

Thanks guys! This method meets my needs well. And yes, I always consult with an engineer for any concerns. Thanks again.

Ok, Thanks!

Am I missing something about intersecting wall doorways? Framing seems to be ok, but I still have something in the doorway in 3D view.

Thank you.

Known issue - this will correct it...

Tools, Checks, Plan Check

Ok, I started CA and selected New Plan, drew the same walls, built the foundation and all's good. But being that I like to see what caused this, I opened the problem plan file, did an Edit Area (all floors) and pasted into the new plan and did another cross section and it too has the same issue. I need to get going on this plan so I may not know what caused this.

Thank you all for your replies!!!

Wow! How can I be sure I've deleted all of the Auto Detail polylines? Please see the camera view too, it shows the brick not on the lowered brick ledge depth.

Ok, going crazy here...

I thought I had this figured out, but now I can't get the wall brick to drop down to the brick ledge depth set at 8". What am I overlooking?

Thank you.

Plan_02_Help_X.plan

That did it!!! Thank you very much.

I am changing some default settings to start a new plan and I don't know where the settings are to create a garage curb that extends past the interior wall. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
