I have actually searched for this topic and do not seem to find anything. When putting an estimate together with the materials lists how does Chief orient the drywall?(if at all) In the real world it all depends on the situation and whether it is commercial or residential. I am trying to get the materials lists as accurate as possible so there is less take off work to do in the end. If I switch from 8' to 12' sheets does the program lay them out horizontally and get a sheet count, or does it just take the total square feet and divide it into sheets that way depending on what is on the wall layer materials selection? My guess is the latter since I have not seen any option or toggle anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Eric, No, I have not tried to do something so simple as just resize the wall in the elevation....(smack forehead with palm) I figured it would be something simple that escaped me. Thanks I will do that!

This may end up being simple but it is vexing me right now. I am doing a design where the stairway going to the second floor cuts through the master bedroom walk in closet. Of course I want it open under the stairs, that part is easy, just toggle that on in the specifications. How do I have a wall go from the stairway up to the second floor landing yet not appear below the stairs? I have searched for an example of this in the support videos but have not seen anything. My guess is this cannot be a very complex issue, it just escapes me as a relatively new user. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chief X10. Thanks.
