  1. Clever solution. I suppose you could capture that with CAD Detail from View & make cad block. Then close the wall again. That way it would not show up on Electrical & HVAC plan views. Just a thought.
  2. Thanks JK. Most of the work involved the framing. Just wish the Match Properties tool was more versatile, more properties, & would work in elevation view. All done now.
  3. I did that for the exterior. Moving on to the interior now. Just wish I could select based on "absolute" elevation reference.
  4. I have a situation where a 6000 sq ft 3 story house plan is near complete and the owner wants to raise the 1st floor ceiling by 3 feet. Easy enough to add 3 feet to the ceiling height. But all items that are absolute heights do not go up. So I want to go to 2nd and 3rd floor and roof & group select these items. There seems to be no way to select by elevation reference. Any suggestions?
  5. I have a 17400 sq ft office building single floor & was asked to calculate the base board length needed. Not having any experience with the material list function I ran a list for All Floors and the base is not included. So there must be to have the base included, right? Or is there a simpler way to get the total length f baseboards in the building. BTW The toilet rooms will not get baseboards
  6. Do all these methods work with the "Material List" function in Chief?
  7. Check out these tie-downs https://burmon.com/masonry-block-tie-downs/
  8. BTW if the installers missed the location use MSTM16 for the repair https://ssttoolbox.widen.net/view/pdf/fzhlnoduhz/C-C-2024_p267.pdf?t.download=true More options:
  9. We use truss on top of the block with Simpson META16 usually. HETA16 for higher loads & 2 each for girders. The trusses come with a pre attached galvanized strip so the wood does not bear on the concrete. https://ssttoolbox.widen.net/view/pdf/s0ldjoogcb/C-C-2024_p264-265.pdf?t.download=true
  10. If you have checked Railings / Solid like you show in the picture you posted, the nexit item should look like this.
  11. Under Newels/Balusters, below Rail Style you can select the rail height
  12. Not sure what you are asking. Open the material tab to select another type of glass.
