Here is another option to deal with the edge at the half wall without using the box.  You will alway see the edge of floor finish under the rail unless you take Eric's or dChop's suggestion.

Thank you , i didn't until yesterday i could do this with railing. Thanks for that.

From what i understand,  chopsaw's solution is the best way to solve this.

Thank you all for your time and help

Is your open below room using defaults? I don't ever have to patch that, it should be automatic for you. It seems to me that there is a setting wrong

Yes , i did not change anything on my side from what i remember.

Hi everybody.

Here is the plan.

The solution from chopsaw worked fine but maybe there is another way to do it that would leave the floor structure and floor finish as it is.

thank you for your lightning reply ..as usual.

i'll try this

Hi Everybody ,

I have an open below space on the 2nd floor. 

I don't see how to do to put the edges of floor finish in white  ?

I'm sure is easy but couldn't find it.

thks for your help

Thank you , that seems the way to do it  

So i have to train

thank you again to all of you.

Hi everybody.

That's me again  

I'm trying to achieve this kind of traditional roof structure.

having reduced trusses with beam sitting on it and then rafters. (hope you will understand what i mean ) .

I attach a picture of something very similar.

I'm sure people have asked before but i couldn't find it in the forum. Maybe I searched for wrong terms.

Hope you will be able to help me achieve this.

thank you all 

No ideas....

As I said , i think i have messed the wall material .

But you are right, when i click on theses diagonal wood pieces , it's written "plate".

One strange was also that i could not add doors to theses interior walls...

If I copy / paste to a new plan , everything is ok.

I'm pretty sure i have changed or edit some settings i shouldn't .... Not sure to want to spend a lot of time on finding it

I'm working on it , it seems i have messed with material . I'm trying to purge new material or edited material.

Because when i start a new plan , it's working correctly.

That's why also you can not reproduct the error. I think that when you open the file , it load the default library which is woking on your computer and has been altered on mine.

Just a guess ..

Ps: Sorry for my poor english

Really strange , I have ask my friend to open it on its version X9 on windows. And it's working perfectly.

I have tried a new plan and it's working also on mac.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program , the same.

Do you know how i could reset all preferences on my mac when deleting ? So i could start with a fresh install.

Maybe i have installed another program or library that creates this problem on my mac

No i did not change anything ..

humm ... strange. I guess i have a problem with my installation , I will uninstall and re-install. 

Yes , it's really strange.

Here is the file.

Thanks for your help

Plan Maison v2018 - 001.plan

thank you dhall , i have the same settings. This is strange , if I set the wall to "furred wall' it disappears.

If I move these to "exterior" , this plate disappears. It only affects interior walls.

Hi everybody , 

I think i gave checked a wrong option somewhere or misconfigured a wall.

I'm trying to remove the diagonal blocking on the framing without success. (see picture attached )

It happens only on interior walls.

Any clue ?

Thank you 

Hi everybody ,

I have a vertical wood siding on a house.

In order to install it , i need a set of vertical studs 16OC , then a set of horizontal studs 24OC , and then the wood siding (vertical).

Is there a way to see the horizontal studs ?

Also , can these studs go through floor platform , from bottom to roof ?

Hope i'm clear enough.

Here a picture similar to what i'd like to get .

Thank you everybody for your help

Nice trick

I'll try this.

Thank your quick reply as usual

Hi everybody ,

I have a long 14 meters wall. For the framing , is there a way to divide this wall in smaller unit module for 

an easier building process ? Like for exemple , telling CA to create new independant wall each 5 meters ?

Hope i'm clear enough . ( sorry for my bad english )

Hi Guys , 

Thank you Chopsaw , the  did the trick ! That's

Now i need to check the layers .

Thank you all for helping me solving this. I will certainly ask more help  (like making horizontal stud framing on the outside for vertical siding)

Thanks for all the informations.

I'll try tomorrow to fix this with your informations ( a bit late for me today ! ) 

Google translate is not that bad

Thank you for all your information.

The strange thing is that the 2nd floor has been created "automaticaly" using the 1st as reference. 

Both.

What i can say : 

- Foundation and 1st Floor wall are aligned. On the right everything is ok but not on left.

- On the 2nd Floor , everything is ok.

I'm looking all options and trying several things ... 

All walls are using the same type of wall . maybe I have customized one of them . I'm trying to set all them with default type.

(Sorry for my english .. i'm french  )

Hi Chopsaw , thank you for your help. 

Now i can see the Floor sheeting

Also the upper wall is aligned with the platform but the walls of the 1st Floor are still "inside".

They are using the same wall type. 

Any clue ?

Hi everybody ,

I have a 2 floors house. The platform generated between the 2 floors seems larger than the wall.

Also i have a gap between the platform and the bottom of the walls which are on the 2nd floor.

Hope you can help me solve my problem.

My version of chief architect is X8 on mac os x.

Thank you

Thank you  RL-Inc for the help

I'll work on this.

Great help from both of you .
