It works for me...follow theses steps: 1- Click on the dimension line 2- Grab the diamond on the extension line 3- Move it to where you'd like it to be...it will snap.

Great to know! Thanks Glenn

Mark - nice video. I followed your instructions as closely as I could...but, not sure I'm getting the correct result. The bottom of my cabinet is missing. I think from deleting the "separation" at the bottom cause the entire bottom of the cabinet to disappear. What am I doing wrong...if anything? Thanks. You are the cabinet master!

Just to clarify...Glenn is referring to an Apple Computer Preferences control...not related to a specific Chief Preference control.

Sorry Scott...I've been away from my computer. Went to see the new Tarantino movie... Sun angle works for me...see video. (very short). Chief has screwed it up somehow...

I've got a number of Deck Rail videos on my YouTube page.

Rail Dialogue Box...controls the entire process.. Step 1 - draw deck Step #2 - open railing to edit (dbl click railing) Step #3 - go to rails tab, select top rail, select "replace" Step 4 - select "oval" railing in library Step 5 - adjust width and depth if needed... Done...

I am also using a MAC... I can tab to the box to change the time...but you there is no highlight. Start in the first box, tab 7 times...you should be able to change the hour. I can on mine...

The ability to tab to the correct field is still there...but, the field is not highlighted. I had to make a guess when I landed in the time field...started messing with the arrows and sure enough the time changed. Looks like a glitch to me...

As Eric suggested above...you might consider using molding lines to create the lattice panel under the porch... You may also want to watch my video on building porches with columns...the columns on your front porch are hanging over the front edge of the Porch. The fix is fairly simple.

Genius! Fantastic and creative solution.

Yea...I tried moving the roof plane but it "auto" adjusts to what you see. I'll fiddle around some more and see if it's a plan issue or it's just the way CA works.

Rene...if you get some time to look at the plan you fixed for Kevin...can you tell me why there is a gap in the ceiling in the living area where the roof plane hits the wall above it. There is about a 1.5" gap...looks like there is a "fascia" on the rafter at the wall...but, I really can't figure out how to get rid of this "gap". See pics...

Thanks...glad you found it helpful.

Actually...you don’t want to think in “rooms”. You should set floor defaults and start drawing. Somehow you accidentally changed the default setting for this floor. Understanding defaults is the basic building block you should try to learn first. Check out the training videos Chief has on their website.

Just click in the room...then CTRL+E to open the dialogue box. Somehow you changed the default.

Like Dermot stated above...you have no room definition. Open the room dialogue box....click the little wrench icon...rooms will appear. Current room settings are "ZERO"... Change by clicking on wrench icon...

OK...Cranked out a video. Should help you...

It's not a "glitch"... The corner not joining is due to the fact that the front porch room is 144" tall...but on either side of this room you have an "attic room". You need to build a 2nd floor...give your attic walls "room definition". This will create a room above the front porch. You need to set the front porch room to the "default" elevations...then the room created above the front porch room...make that room an "open below" room and set the rough ceiling height to 22 1/4". Make the front wall of this "room" invisible. Done.... I may make you a video...but it'll take a bit to get that done.

Scott...love this molding idea for the pickets. I would make one modification to the picket symbol...I'd make the top piece something like 1/4" or 1/2" thick x 2" wide (or same width as picket)...then, you can bury this "connector" piece of the symbol in the bottom surface of the top rail. Then...in Vector View you won't see the molding repeat lines. Just an option to an otherwise fantastic idea for railings.

I’ve got a few deck videos on my YouTube page you might find interesting...

Not sure my video is 100% correct...but it may help you..or others. It helped me to do it...Plan Views and Pony Wall Defaults are interesting.

William gave you the answer...there are all sorts of fences in the "bonus catalog" too...

Open the camera specific to each view...change the shadow setting. See below...

You can use a "Fence"...which will follow the terrain. Select "no post"...and select "Panels". You will need to create your own custom panel. Use a 6" p-solid...draw it about 96" long and maybe 24" tall. Add a P-solid cap...say 8" wide and 3" tall. Save this assembly as a "symbol"...save it as "millwork". Now...open the fence DBX and go to the panels section and find the panel you just created. Assign the panel to the "fence". One caveat...it won't work for curved walls...only straight. Best I can do... Here is the result... Process... Process...
