That's not much information to go on. Make sure the roof planes layer is turned on

If you hung out long enough you will see how that window just gets mysteriously center as you go through the video. That's how good she is, she did it without having to touch it! lol She seriously did an amazing job on that video. We should direct all newbies to that one.

Yes, I'm aware. Back to my original question. Why does CA set their default at 1-1/8"? Not important just curious to know where it was pulled from. I build on the west cost (California) so is this a east cost standard? Maybe because of the cold? Not sure?

The mill core (J Metal) that we use is 7/8" but they screed the brown coat to it and than the color added will make it one inch. Not sure why I'm even processing this after almost 40 years in construction. I guess because I'm full time doing drawings and design now and I like to be accurate.

Yea, if I'm not more confused afterlol You bet I will I'm very excited!

That's what I have always done is 7/8". However It always usually ends up being 1" on finish Not sure where Chief gets 1 1/8"

Just curious to know; I notice that Chief always defaults stucco thickness to be 1 1/8" when stucco molding is 1". Is stucco different thicknesses depending on the area?

Made a decision; I signed up for the online training. Thank you all for you input!

I thought she moved through it pretty good for a newbie. Nice overall lesson and covering a good amount of information. However for me I didn't see one thing that I learned from it and I would typically get something out of every video even if it just reminds me of a tool I forgot about. But I do think this video serves a good purpose for someone just getting to know the program.

Thanks guy's for your input, I appreciate it.

I have been using the software always in the highest version I can get since 2004. I think it was version 4.0 back then (not real sure) but I remember that they had just dropped "Broderbund" like the year before at the time. I have never had any formal training and don't mind going thought the basics even if it seems slow because even though I have done all my plans on it over the years I feel like I'm missing a lot of the basics that could be holding me back from being better. I have all my annotation sets in good order and I try to keep my plan fully live when it goes to layout. I still get confused by some things that should be very basic. I'm not totally settled with my system of construction documents and cad details. I typically just copy and pasted general notes from the city I'm working in and really don't have my own setup. Trying to get a better layout template setup. Also need to learn more about relinking plan to layout. I know enough to get by but I'm tiered of just getting by and have plans that aren't consistent. I have also been trying to get better at finishes and need to learn how to do presentation walk through and around. Here are some renderings I did of a wine cellar with outdoor patio themed with wine paraphernalia that I recently did to give you an Idea of what I can do. Also and ranch style house with guest house and garage

Thinking of signing up for the intermediate online training. Does anyone know who the instructor usually is? Also, was wondering who else has done it and if its worth it?

Nice! Thanks for the reply. Glad your still around!

The reason I said that is because I felt bad from all the comments. I hate to see people give up on such a great forum. It sounds like you just insulted me, that was un cool!!!

I think we chased off Henry and Pitchfork! I really do believe that someone should delete this whole thread. Its just taking up space. Just a thought

That's hilarious! But I try not to pass judgement on this forum and don't relate that video to it. Their are a lot of good people here that just like to help. I would like to show off if I could but I don't know enough, lol

That makes sense the way you explained it.

I never heard that before. So I guess I'm yelling at my potential new clients as soon as they get my written proposal? I don't know how I have gotten any work over the last thirty years. I use caps a lot. never heard that before.

I vote this the award winning most worthless thread ever!

Were you able to solve this issue and if so what was it?

I agree with this statement but it's a little harsh because you don't know how much Eric has helped others through very difficult situations. He's here because he wants to give back like the rest of us that are here. Plus we learn a lot out of helping others. Him telling you to go to help is the way he helps you sometimes and others will answer differently. You should respect that and not slam him. Also you should read the Forum Guidelines at the beginning of the forum Thank you for understanding

Hello Henry! Thank you for your question! Here are a couple of video link's to help you understand the layers. I like the video links better than the help because I'm more visual and not so good with written instruction. This video covers X10 layers in detail and so you will need to use help or go to the new feature video's for some of the things that are new in X11 like the wrench Icon. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/4/understanding-layers.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=video&q=x11 Forum Guidelines: This forum is owned by and moderated by Chief Architect, Inc.

Hey guy's, I have asked before if anyone new where I can find rolled roofing and no one seemed to know. Just wanted to make you aware that I found it in "Owens Corning" catalog. Hope this might help someone Search words for this topic: Rolled roofing, cap sheet, modified torch down

You would think that the "Break Terrain" tool would have solved that issue.

Thank you David, I didn't know that about the data lines
