I’ve used Apple Pay quite a bit. I even have an Apple Credit Card...mainly because the offered a big discount if you purchased things directly from Apple and used their card. So - got my wife an Apple Watch for Christmas and saved some bucks. I have to say I love Apple Pay and their Card. I would now like to start using Apple Cash...fast and easy to either send or receive cash.

Thanks Michael!

Glad it was helpful... Just FYI...I probably learned this from some expert here on the Forum. Some really smart people on this Forum...genius level smart.

Click the object (window)...then look for the "copy" button in bottom toolbar. see pics below....

Sounds like you got it all figured out...but, I made a video. Maybe it'll help you or someone else.

I had to "experiment" to figure this out...but, you can do it automatically...although, there could be some consequences I haven't discovered. Open the ground floor deck room...and change the ceiling height to "zero"...or, if you have dropped the deck...you might have to give the ceiling a negative height...which the software does not like. Keep auto deck framing turned on...and the posts will build down as you would want...automatically. See pictures attached:

Yea...YIKES. I feel your pain... C'mon Chief Engineers...get to work fixing the stair tool.

Thanks! I'm happy it helped you out...

I'm not working at the software at the moment...so, take what I say with a grain of salt. But - can't you just create new materials for each of our fascia? Open the material...copy it, change the grain direction...save it as something and then use it as needed. Yea...this method is a PIA. I get it...but, just something you could do. Ok..I agree...Chief should just fix this issue.

Yea...no more cabinet library's PLEASE.

I don't believe Chief will "clip" the skirt or a Stringer. In the video below I show how to use a 3D molding polyline to create a good looking...and realistic looking skirtboard. It's near the end of the video...feel free to skip along. It's an older video...sorry for the "green" look I chose for my Chief color. Yikes...although, on this being St. Patricks Day...maybe it's appropriate?

Your post inspired this video.

Thanks Robert. From the "sales video" I assumed that this new incredible tool was created just to make this common stair design possible with just a couple clicks. Guess not. As I've said many times...the stair tool (the weakest tool in Chief) needs a major overhaul. But hey, I'm not holding my breath.

Yea...I know about using a landing...but, watching the Chief "sales" video...I thought Chief was giving us a tool that actually solved this issue. But...not quite. I gather it's like everything that's related to the stair tool generally. It kind of works...sort of, somewhat...

Wondering if I'm doing something wrong... Is it possible to create a "complete break" in a stair in the middle of a tread and wrap a full tread partially around a wall corner...like in "real life"...or, as I've been experiencing, does the tool only separate the stair into complete sections maintaining full treads for an upper and lower section. The tool (for me at least) doesn't seem to work as per the video Chief put out about it. It would be nice if when releasing these new tools they would release complete videos on how tools like this work, what the process is...etc.

Excellent suggestion Doug!

Genius...works like a charm! Thanks again Michael!

The file doesn't work. You need to close the plan in Chief before zipping the file. If you have the file open...and you go into file explorer and zip the file...it won't work. Close the file in Chief first.

It's been removed...you will have to add it to your tool bar. Right click any toolbar, select "customize toolbars". Select plan view...Search for Fireplace. Drag the icon onto one of your toolbars. Then you will have it when you need it. See pic attached:

Strip the plan...or, make a copy of the plan and remove everything you can from it. All we need is walls and the roof. You can remove cabinets, doors etc. Might help... You still may have to "zip" the file to get it to the size required.

Glad to help!

I'm with you 100% Joe...it's an absolutely amazing tool. Very small limitation...especially for the first release of this new feature. I hope they continue to "improve" this tool in future releases...but, I'm happy with it either way.

Perry...thanks for that! I took your symbol...which looked to me like you may have grabbed off of 3D Warehouse and made some edits to it. I changed the text color to RED and changed the box material to a Chief galvanized metal. Also changed the grill material to a stock Chief material with a black color. Here it is: Chimney Sidewall Vent Cap.calibz

You will have to post the plan...please! Thanks!

Yea...but, you can only add one "interior door" object to a style pallet. Therefore...you can only effect a change to one door type. Not good...unless I'm totally missing something. FYI..."style" is an available property in the "interior door" object...but, it only changes the style on the "type" of door you select in the "object property" field. Such as "hinge", "pocket", "sliding"...etc.
