Has anyone had issues changing exterior wall materials? I am confused as to why some of my walls will not change from the default blue siding when adjacent and connecting walls have no issues.

No that is exactly what is NOT working for me

I am having an issue with the Library Browser where even when the top left Icon and in the view tab icon is show with a check mark to indicate being open but there is no sign of the Library Browser actually popping up on my screen or right sidebar, next to the Project Browser, as I have used it before. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I missing a setting that would hide the Library Browser or does this sound like a glitch/issue?

Was wondering how when I change in layout the drawing sheet in the print settings from 1/2" scale to 1/4" scale, how do I also change the reference grid to reflect that as well.

Just close the ML TAB and don't save it , then generate another.... ML's are basically a "snapshot" at the instant you generate them only
let me look at the plan....
Please and thank you! I have no idea why the framing pieces are coming out like this on all the lists I've generated.

Did you delete the ML and open it again to refresh it ? ( it doesn't refresh automatically)
And how do I delete the ML? Or where is it that I locate it?

Check out Structural Member Reporting in Plan Defaults , copy the existing default , (so you don't alter the original) and try different settings eg cut list , but my guess is you have total linear length on by default, so CA is consolidating the materials.

edit: a coule of KB Articles that may help...... PDF under Tools Green button too.
Made a copy of the default list and switched it to buy list, but still same issue.

Trying to figure out how the material list works and generates its numbers, Am a student and still relatively new at chief. Below is a project have been working on and this is the first time I have been asked to do a full material list. Have watched all the tutorials on it but cannot seem to find out why its giving such long 2x6 boards. The plan is attached below to look at.

You can draw a line on plan view or elevation and convert it to a molding. You will have more control with it that way.
Thank You.

Hi all still fairly new to chief architect and was wondering if there was a way to specify where the crown molding may end on the soffit and return back into the wall. Also rather then have the chair rail stepped (see photo below), I would like it to slope downward so that it meets with the chair rail below. Also please feel free to provide perhaps an easier method to working with molding if an easier method exists. Thanks!

What version of Chief are you using?
- X10 has a Niche Tool and also the ability to insert a Symbol into a Wall.
- Prior versions can be done with a Symbol blocked with a "Wall Material Region".
Not finding where this niche tool may be.

I've looked and not seeing where the niche tool may be.

Room Divider tool resulting in framing exposed?
in General Q & A
Posted
I am attempting to create a loft in a pool house and am wondering why the floor keeps coming out with these exposed framing sections. Am I using the wrong tool for this? I created a second story, used a room divider then adjusted the opposite room to "Open Below". I also found that soffits, shelves and moldings dont cross over these places where the room dividers are and it has me puzzled. Is there a setting I have missed or am I going about creating this wrong?
