    Pony Wall Doesn't Display

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    @KristjanM - am I missing something? Seems to work for me. I created a pony. Lower section is 10" concrete wall with a 2x6 wall on the interior. Upper wall is 2x6 and contains a window. I the attached screen clip...I opened the wall, in the "wall types" section I selected from "display in plan view"...lower wall.  The window is showing.  

     

    This display is independent of using "saved plan views"...

    My Chief Skills - Screened Porch Library X14

    in Offering Services

    Posted

    I have a new video that shows how my "Screened Porch Library" for Chief Architect Premier works with X14...and it works great. 

     

    It's the easiest and fastest way to create custom looking Screened Porches...and if you are using X14 you can now see through the screen into to room. Fantastic new improvement the engineers at Chief have brought us. 

     

    Have a look...

    Roof trusses on the upstairs back of house are not the correct elevation shoulg be 97 1/8" from the sub floor

    @LeRoyWells - 

    All I did was delete all the trusses...and inserted a new truss, used multiple copy. Worked perfectly. I also created new wall types for the attic wall and the gable end wall to not frame...so as to not interfere with the trusses. You'd probably want to make the gable end truss an "end truss"

    Ameteur Question.....

    You won't get a plate on top of the masonry wall.

     

    You could create a pony wall...with the top section a frame wall 1.5" tall. The thing is...this little section is below the ceiling...so, you may have to adjust the ceiling definition with an "air space" to push it down to hide this wall section. 

     

    Or...just use a cad box and add the plate...but, it won't show up in 3D if that is important. You could always manually place a plate on top of the CMU wall if it's important to show in 3D.

     

    See screen clip;

    2nd Floor wall Heights

    Thanks Steve, I guess the issue for me is setting the wall to 60", where is that setting?

     

    Wall heights are determined by the "room". Open the room dialogue and set the ceiling height. This will set your wall height. 

     

    You can also leave the room at the default height...and use transform replicated to move the roof plane down. Enter the value to lower in the "Z" axis.

    So...if the room is 97 1/8...and you want the wall to be 60"...just lower the roof 37 1/8".
