Made this video a while back …

Fantastic! Looks great.

I made this video. A-Frame style homes are fairly easy in Chief.

Or…just get my Screened Porch Library. https://www.mychiefskills.com

In the SPV (Saved Plan View) for the foundation plan…specify the pony wall display to show the lower wall only for that view. In the floor plan SPV specify the pony wall to show the upper wall.

You need separate “saved plan views” …with unique layer sets etc.

Jim - Create a dimension default that you will use to dimension only the construction lines. These dimensions should be on their own layer. Then...create a REF SET (which you had already done) and the only layer on in this set should be the layer you created for these dimensions. Examine the attached plan. If you go to the 2nd floor...you will see the referenced dimensions. BASSETT 2 - PROPOSED - Ref Dim Fix.zip

You could place those specific dimensions on a unique layer and the use a custom reference layer set to show them on other floors.

You can only setup one default...but, if you open each roof plane you can assign and different arrow shape, color etc. Also...if you assign a different layer to the label, you can then assign and unique label style to the text. This allows you to change the text font, color and size.

You can change the arrow style also....filled, large, small...no fill. Doesn't matter

You have to have "auto roofs" turned off. Once this is done...you can open each individual roof plane and change the color of the arrow...and the size. Or...you can group select roof planes and do the same. Not a "Glitch" at all...

This video might help you out;

Turn "auto roofs" off. Then, build a 2nd floor...the roof will not move. You will need to add walls that have "room definitions" in order to create a "room". Once you have a room...if you don't need/want a ceiling...open the room and turn ceiling off. Creating a room will also create a floor system which you may not want...or maybe you will. If not, you may have to create an attic truss... Hope that helps.

Use a post to beam railing wall…specify the newels as 0” thickness.

@Renerabbitt- ahhh....well, I'm on an old iMac...so, that ain't happening

I downloaded and opened the plan...I don't see a problem.

@westvale - I sent you an email.

Honestly….just post your plan and someone will give you the exact method to fix these issues…which are easy to fix once you see how it’s done.

Yea...it's nice that it's at least supported by Chief...but, since Apple is maniacally in love with the ARM based processor and placing graphics support on the chip...it's going to be very slow. But still...it's nice to see Chief working hard to get us Mac users the ability to ray trace.

The only way is to drag the views you want into the corners...or top/bottom. There isn't a hotkey to tile just specific views...it's all or nothing using F6. You can use F6 and then close the views you don't want to see...but, then you lose the view. So...I guess that's not a great solution.

- Why do you prefer 97"? - What length pre-cut studs are you using where you end up with a 97" ceiling height? This isn't my experience... - Is this a typical rough ceiling height where you live? Just like Perry...I always have a 2nd floor in my plans. I learned this from the great @dshall. It makes a lot of sense. If you set this up in your template you can make the ceiling height whatever you like. You can always delete the floor...but if you need it - it's there, and it's 97".

Or…open the shed roof, lock the pitch, lower the ridge to the specific elevation…which you’d find by doing a cross section through the room.
