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.

I did that for the exterior. Moving on to the interior now. Just wish I could select based on "absolute" elevation reference.

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?

That photo editing was amazing. Would AI be able to add landscape & sky to your Hill House?

Thank you, that helped.

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

Do all these methods work with the "Material List" function in Chief?

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:

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

If you have checked Railings / Solid like you show in the picture you posted, the nexit item should look like this.

Under Newels/Balusters, below Rail Style you can select the rail height

Not sure what you are asking. Open the material tab to select another type of glass.

I took a stab at it. Roof Plan.plan

What would help is an absolute plate height for exterior walls & breaking walls. Can't tell what is one story & what may be a 2nd story.
