Hi @Doug_N, Rob was able to help me I had emailed him my plan. My apologies for the late response I was on holidays with no service. I do not currently have my BCIN # (only legal), but have been studying and am writing the Small Buildings next week. thanks, Angela

Thanks Rob - I just emailed you the file! I appreciate you taking a look at it!

Hi there, I am having issues with walls intersecting. Specifically I would like the the plywood / siding to be dragged back. Every time I seem to drag the layers back, it seems to just go back to where it was? Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have attached some images and also took a screen video. Thank you very much in advance! 07.05.2025_10.27.16_REC.mp4

@Doug_N @GeneDavis @Alaskan_Son Thank you all for the recommendations. I ended up creating a door symbol which worked great! Symbol attached for anyone to use; Door Slab - Custom 6 Flat Panels.calibz

Hi there, Is there a way to have the door slab material align so the horizontal joints line up from the front of the door / side? Shown in the 3D view when the door is open. Maybe a solution would be to create a door symbol using polylines so it isn't a Ship Lap Material? Wasn't sure if there was an easy fix just using the material on a Slab Door. Thanks in advanced!

Thanks Rob, this worked out perfectly! I just made a material that was 100% translucent!

Thank you for the recommendation, I already have "plumb" checked off in the "options" tab.

Hi there - I'm wondering if there is a way to have the top fascia piece cut horizontally so it doesn't extend past the bottom fascia. I have played around with the different depth / options but think I am missing something. Thanks in advanced!

That worked thank you very much @Alaskan_Son!

Hello! Is there a way to have invisible walls for a deck / not have a drywall finish show on the deck face board? I have been having this issue for a while, to fix it i just manually drag the wall up above the decking and it disappears, but wondered if there was a setting in the wall or deck that I'm missing that could make this easier. I seem to have this issue when drawing invisible walls around a stairway for a deck as well. Thanks in advance!

Okay great thanks! I have blocked them before but wondered if there was another way

Hi there - I am wondering if there is a way to place a faucet into a base cabinet and have it "snap" or move with the cabinet when it's moved. (Similar to when a sink is inserted). I played around with the "options" tab within the fixture but nothing has made it "snap" to the cabinet. Since I started using chief I have just been selecting the cabinet + the faucet and moving it together, but I just wondered if there was an easier way as I would like to share some vanities with some colleagues. Thanks in advanced!

Okay great I finally got it to work! I used the default floor structure / re-built the framing. I really don't have much knowledge with the 3D automatic framing but would like to get a better understanding. Hi Rob - I did try changing the group, but again don't have much knowledge here, I tried just doing #2? Maybe this also contributed to it working? Thank you everyone for your help!

Thank you I had not! I don't typically use the framing functions but would like to start. I have specified "Lumber" as the type of floor joist, and it keeps showing as "I-Joist". Any ideas on why this is? I have tried "re-build framing" function. Thanks Rob that did the trick! I have issues with the deck framing disappearing quite often. Not sure if this is a common pain point, I have tried looking up in forums and would like to start a new topic at some point.

I tried to remove the ceiling layer - but unfortunately the floor joists from above aren't showing. Also now have a blank area where the rim joist / floor joists would be at the sundeck. Any ideas?
