  1. Thanks for posting Greg. I can use this myself. Have a great week,Ken
  2. Joe, I have found that your procedure and the changes made from start to finish as you point out are something I can count on about 90% of the times. As to Scott's videos I found them a great educational tool and I have been using Chief since ver-3 and found lots of tips I had missed along the way. Have a great week, Ken
  3. Maybe I am not following this correct, but in the original post it was said that he had the roof planes coming together correctly but wanted the birds mouth to be the same to make the ceilings match. In my world this will not be possible . You cannot use rafters of 2"x8"s and tie into a roof with 2"x6"s and have the roof plane and the ceiling plane both match. The only option to get the matching birds mouth is to lower the wall to make up for the vertical difference between the two different rafters which will still leave you with an offset in the ceiling. Just another one of those things where you have to make a decision as to what is the most acceptable results. Have a great evening to all,Ken
  4. David, I have a designjet 500 and have gone to windows 10 and have had no problems. Had this printer cleaned and a new cable installed last winter and asked the guy then about win 10 and he said then it would be OK but that hp is going to suspend support of this model soon.Ordered another cable at that time to be sure I could make as much out of this machine as possible. The guy told me the 500 has been just to good a machine. Have a great week end coming up,Ken
  5. Thank you sir. Have a great weekend,Ken
  6. Thanks Greg, Another option is always good. Have a great weekend, Ken
  7. In the wall specification menu under wall types,define in main layer check Ins. and it will show when you use the auto detail icon when you are doing your cross section detail. I am in ver. x-7 . you don't mention your version which is a good idea when posting a question. Have a great week,Ken
  8. Thanks Joe, Have a great Week, Ken
  9. Perry That sounds like the ticket. Just finished a job that it would have been a great tool to have.. I do as Andy said he does in post #8.A two story full basement with mansard roof. Exterior and interior walls, window and door locations and sizes , floor heights, joist and rafter sizes, and roof pitch. Plan was to remove the mansard exterior roof/wall, overbuild the existing upper roof with a raftered steeper roof and add a second floor over the existing two car garage and add a porch/foyer for a colonial look. About twelve hours and house is drawn. Did remodel and addition as second plan on desktop at home. Have a great weekend,Ken
  10. Thanks Dennis Have a great weekend,Ken
  11. Man,talk about picking fly specks out of the pepper! I liked the line from the movie also. Have a great weekend,Ken
  12. House wall included in house square footage ,not included in garage .This is the way it is calculated in my area.
  13. Hate it when they do that. Start on second floor and click on a room then click on choose like objects tool and set ceiling heights in dbx. box. Go to floor one and do the same drill. This should do it. I usually ck. each room to see if ceiling height changed correctly.(pita) Also ck cross sections and make sure all is as supposed to be. Hope you haven't printed it all out yet. Hope this gets it done for you. Have a great week,Ken

  15. Thank you Greg, Nice job. Have a great Day,Ken
  16. Looking for a more realistic standing seam roof material than in the stock Chief libraries. If some one has one I be appreciate if you could share. Thanks in advance,Ken
  17. Reminds me of my Granddads saying which was you have to be smarter than your tools be they whatever. Have a great Day,Ken
  18. Are you on the basement level of the plan when you places the light. If so and this is what you are getting, click on the light and hold down the ctl. key and move the light into the position you want. This should place the light in the correct position. Have a great day,Ken
  19. Neat Joe Thank you, May have a use for this myself. Have a great week,Ken
