  1. Set your 2nd floor room height to 60"...build the roof, make sure auto rebuild roofs is turned off, then, open defaults and change your 2nd floor room height to 9'. You will get a ceiling break line showing where the sloping ceiling intersects the flat 9' ceiling.

  2. To create this you will need (2) separate rooms. One to have the vaulted ceiling...the other room to have a flat ceiling. You should use railing walls, no balusters, "Open", "post to beam", no top or bottom rail. Use a single layer wall type...with the only layer being "fir framing" and designate a width for the wall. Then set the beam to be the width of the wall. Designate a depth for the beam. 

     

    This is an older video I created a while back...using X11...but the methods shown still work and I think will help you.

     

  3. @HumbleChief - Yea, no idea what is causing your trouble with the framing. I did download the plan and I can see the problem. However, I've created a plan from scratch in X14 using my template (not a SAM)....and my framing works as it is supposed to work. I don't get the same framing condition. 

     

    Could it be a room definition? Or..possibly a framing or roof group issue?

    THANK YOU. How would the template affect the roof framing? 

     

    Don't you use the SAM method? I'm just guessing about the problem but seems to me the SAM can eventually carry over things that you really don't want or know about. 

     

    But - I'm just guessing. So take my comment for what it's worth.

    Here's a roof framing bug I THINK I found. User error always suspect and only post to see if others experience the same thing?

    Larry - I think your template could be the problem. I just opened X14 and quickly recreated a similar plan. My template has auto framing turned on...and the screen clip below shows the result. Worked as expected...

    a NEW crash

     

    An internal rendering error has occurred (assertion failure):
    mHead-»size == mSize

     

    I was in a CAD detail creating this in 2D......all the text vanished.

     

    I copied the log that gets generated to send to apple

     

    402,415 words

    1225 pages

     

    This has to get solved.

    Is it "Apple"...or is it "Chief"? No other application that I use on my iMac has this issue. You should send the info to Chief....

     

    I really doubt Apple is going to make changes to their operating system in order to accommodate Chief.

    Good vid Steve.

     

    I have a question,  suppose you did not have a second pour group,  how would that change the model?

     

     

     

     

    The "pour group" is only relative to the material list. The material list will segregate the materials for each "group". It doesn't change the outcome of the foundation construction. I probably should have mentioned that in the video...oops! :blink:

    I have the latest M1 MAX fully spec'd laptop.  Chief Architect randomly crashes.  Everything else works as expected.  

     

    The Studio should be pretty amazing for anything you might want to do, especially if you get the M1 ultra.  I can't say I've noticed any performance increase with CA, however.  The daily intermittent crashes have me looking at other design suites.

     

     

     

    Hang on...X14 is coming. I'm hoping Chief has X14 dialed in for the MAC with this release.

    The symbol does cut the hole, but it's taking the sides with it.  It does not happen with Kohler catalogs - only custom symbols I bring in or convert from Kohler.  Maybe it's time to nudge tech support on this fix!

     

    In my video I use a modified Kohler symbol...and I don't have this issue. I've opened and closed the plan and created new camera views...no problem. Weird. 

  10. So the problem is that the symbol is not cutting a hole in the custom countertop...or, it does, but when you open the plan at a later date the "gap" returns?

     

    I've tested this on my MAC...I've saved the file, opened and closed and created different renders and the sink is always in the correct position...no gap. I wonder if it's a video card issue?

     

    Or...am I not understanding the real problem....admittedly I'm not sure if I do.
