That escalated quickly. Search "curtain wall"

A balcony is a room. You can select that room and adjust it's floor height to where you want it. Probably an inch or 2 below the respective floor level

California Architects hooked on Chief Architect drawing
Gawdzira replied to viggia's topic in General Q & A
Just a bit south in Carmel. -
Sometimes you will need to cheat the wall location slightly under the stair stringer so the wall does not continue up past the stringer depending on your desired design.

Pretty sure those stairs are not even legal in Russia. Heck, Florida Man just texted me and said he wouldn't even walk his pet gator down those.

Balcony on one of my floors is showing open below in 3d not sure why?

Also, these intersections can do you dirty. -
Which PDF driver are you using? "Chief Architect Save As PDF" is the most reliable.

Do you have it named as a room? If it is called out as a deck, change it to Balcony. -
That app looks like a decent program for it's use case (final drawing to send for realtors or appraisal). For me, I believe it would be slower than hand drawing on site. I am pretty fast with my oversized sketch pad (about 12x18 sheet of mdf with some clips for the paper). I print out 11x17 sheets with a grid. Even when I have brought a laptop to the site and done the drawing directly into CA I find it slower overall. Also, having the locked drawing from the site gives me a sense of comfort that a wall did not get bumped and adjust the as built.

This diagram is for an article regarding deck guardrails but the same concept should apply to retaining walls. If you have more than a 30" grade drop at 30" away from your retaining wall, consider the use of a guardrail to protect from falls.

Where do I go to change default layout size to 13x19 vs Arch D?
Gawdzira replied to cbucks's topic in General Q & A
If you are creating a title block for the size of you new set up, that is done on sheet 0. They are cad lines and text. I save layers per layout in the same file. Generally one for landscape ArchD, 11x17 landscape and portrait. -

When starting a plan file (and always) you are drawing in real world scale. 1"=1". When you send to Layout, you define what scale you send. This is where it becomes important to be aware of what scale you intend to send to Layout if you want your text and callouts to have a relative size when in Layout. For me, if I am working on a plan or elevation view that will be sent to Layout at 1/4 scale, my text is 5". If sending at 1/8", then text is 10". For your 100' long plan, you could possibly send at 3/16" scale and it could fit on a 36" wide sheet. There is also a sheet display in plan view and that could be what is bothering your eyes?

Not using SPV's in CA begs the question "Do you even CADD bro?"

Anyone have a person sitting on an elongated toilet?

All the time. Too much info? -

Change your railing from Balusters to Panels. Insert the panel from the Library.

The survey seems lacking in critical questions. 1. I am a solo office and work residential 99%. Therefore Chief can satisfy most of my needs 2. If I was to look for work right now in an architects office, I would need Revit as my primary tool. Full stop. 3. Is Chief a good introduction to drafting and something useful to get HS students interested in the profession, probably a big yes. 4. If your goal to be more of a Trade School environment, Revit.

Why is one Elevation View darker than the other elevation view?

Try turning off the sun.
