Thanks, got it handled. It is just a nuance in their guidelines there - only place around that has that stipulation. I appreciate the help.

I know we can change the default line weight for Pattern Line Weight / Edge Line Weight - but how do we change the Default Line Color for the Pattern Line Defaults? I like my patterns to be a thinner line AND a grey color (not black), but I seem to have to manually adjust each view I send to the Layout. There must be a way to do this that I am missing.

Ran into a bit of an issue, working in a neighborhood that wants an 'ARCHITECT STAMP' on the plans. Typically, everywhere else around here an Engineer Stamp/Structurals suffice. New Board Members, etc., that are following the ARB Standards exactly (engineered drawings have always worked everywhere else here and in the mountains where I draw) - have friends here locally, but figured I would ask here as well and see what you would charge. This is for Bull Point outside Beaufort, SC. Drawings & Engineering attached.

I also disagree. I think Chief is VERY easy to use, especially if you take the time to set up templates, etc. I just always find it strange when a very standard construction detail (like these stairs, chimneys, etc.) is not 'there in Chief'. My first inkling when I don't find an 'easy' way to do something is that I am just not looking hard enough, which brought me here. Thanks!

If I have exposed treads at a bottom section of stairs, with the rail on one side ending at a wall, then a narrower closed stair at the upper section, what is the best technique to create in Chief, without a huge workaround? See attached that I created with two separate stair sections in Chief (I've used other techniques as well) and a photo of what i am talking about in the real world (does not need to be so fancy). Summary: Open treads at one side of stair with a rail. Rail dies into a wall part way up the stair. Remaining treads going on up are closed. Thanks.
