I had the issue awhile back, and ignored it and somehow I think it went away. Either that...or my brain just adjusted to it and I've mentally moved on. FWIW...I use a Dell mouse.

Very cool. Do you still use Krea, or are you using another AI app for your workflow.

Pretty cool! Works well w/ Gemini, also.

I guess what I would do is turn off automatic for my ceiling joists; move my reference marker where it would need to be; build the ceiling joists; then move it back so that all the auto-framing members are being referenced in the correct location, and turn on auto-framing for everything besides the ceiling joists. Not "auto", but 90%... Otherwise, I don't see an "offset" feature that would allow you to keep auto-framing on.

We don't tackle framing in Chief a whole lot, but I'm guessing if you have a very specific location that you want your ceiling joists (i.e. right beside your rafter), I would set the first one and then place all your other members based off that one. Auto-anything in Chief is fine for some of what you do. The rest needs to be manual...but the manual way is still pretty easy to do.

I don't know... What about printing to PDF is slow as molasses? We print to PDF on all our plans we send to customers for review.

I've always done it with 3D Solids.

I guess I wouldn't say this is the "fix"...probably more of the work-around. I just edited a truss, deleted all the old ones, and offset the correct ones so they're all right. I don't know why it's doing what it's doing for you. Kind of weird. 1214266502_Trussproblem.plan

So you can actually drag the newel post over to be in front, but CA does NOT like it. It immediately just makes it a half post (regardless of your post style you select), and there is a lot of funkiness in how it builds in 3D.

You betcha. Glad to help!

Yep, I think Rob is right. Here is the door along with a screenshot of how it looks on the plan. OH Door.calibz

There is a layer called "Stairs & Ramps, Stringers". Make sure that's turned on. Then turn on "Draw Newels" and "Draw Rails" in your stair specifications DBX. It's under the "Newels/Balusters" section.

I have all my stringers and newels, etc.. turned off in plan view...so I didn't notice. Here's a snip on what they look like turned on. I guess I don't know what look you're going for, but looks ok to me.

You mean something like this?

Can you send the symbol over and we can look at it? Meaning just export that library item from your library, and attach it here.
