Okay sorry I thought it was concrete. So yes you should do the 2x8 construction / decking.
-
Sorry I didn't realize it was X12. First thing I did was make sure the heights are matching for the Porch / Open to Below, as well as the floor finish / structure. Uncheck Sil Plate in the railing specifications. Continue the railing across the stairway, but "break" into a separate section. Then the separate section over the stairway would just be the Beam. No Railing. I drew foundation walls below. As mentioned made the stair tread # reduced, and changed it to concrete. I could be wrong but I don't think there is a cost to upgrade to the new Chief? I think the monthly / yearly subscription covers all of them? Could be wrong.

Hi Bob, I tried to fix it as best as I could. Only the front beam won't connect there is a small space you may need a polyline solid to fill it in. It seemed like you had too many steps so I made it the minimum number just over 7" riser height. New file attached, hope it helps! NEW FRONT PORCH ADDITION 1256 BLOOMERY ROAD - New.zip

I wondered if it was a layer, I tried that and it didn't do anything

Hi there, I would like to show a dashed line where the man door / overhead door openings are in the foundation plan. It used to default when I used X15 but since using X16 I can't seem to figure out how to show it. Thanks in advanced! Ange
-
Amazing thank you!!

Hi there, How can I move the footing dashed line so it is centered on the foundation concrete only, and not centered on the entire wall depth including the framed wall. Thank you in advanced!

Edit Wall Layer Intersection - Help using this Tool

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?
-
Thank you @DBCooper and @robdyck - these are both great solutions
