  1. Haven’t seen this. Maybe post the plan.
  2. As Perry mentions: for the brick you are best to remove the column you used above and set a molding poly line at the base of the lower posts and give it the brick/stone material texture. btw your engineer is going to love designing how that roof beams are landing right in the middle of the windows on the lower level.
  3. If it’s not in the table then it can’t be prescriptive framing. Which means you need an engineer to design and seal the design to use those heights. Most likely they will design with an LSL stud or similar.
  4. You are saying it’s a 32”x96” door and when you go to place it then it’s a 32”x96” door…. You sure you aren’t confusing the 80 8’-0” as 80” in your mind?
  5. Exactly this. Just a note based on the question type that you may or may not be aware of. There is a different layer set associated with your plan view vs. your 3d view. Make sure you make the change in the 3d view so as to not affect your MEP plan.
  6. Probably best to put this on home talk which is for the home designer line of products as the toolset is significantly different. Not sure if HD has this but my guess is the wall was manually adjusted in which case the bottom plate is below that ceiling or sheathing. If that’s the case then try looking for a default bottom wall height on the structure panel of that wall dbx.
  7. No he is simply saying open the elevation you have the note or whatever plan view you have the note and use ctrl+C or Cmd+C for mac and go to the new view and use ctrl+V or Cmd+V to paste the note into the new view. Unlimited amount of copies of the note that will all report the same number.
  8. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/75/terrain-site-plan-basics.html?playlist=138 And I encourage users to use CAD lines for the actual property line for site plan and consider the terrain perimeter as a tool for renderings. Make the terrain perimeter alot bigger than the actual lot size.
  9. As a side note you can see that your wall above is not aligned with the wall below since the match wall to wall above tool is in your edit menu.
  10. Not sure what your exact issue is. Looks like you moved that foundation wall and did not adjust the lengths of the perpendicular walls. It appears the walls are stepped correctly. Maybe a pic describing what you need and/or the plan file?
  11. Most people dont remember it because it automatically turns off when you manually adjust the wall.
  12. When you manually adjust a wall you lose the dynamic aspects of it. Reset the wall to have default top and bottom wall heights.
  13. Saw this earlier today and have thought about it a few times. I haven’t tried this, but what happens if you use a roof plane for your roof structure and sloped ceiling planes for the insulation and lower portions of the roof within the building envelope?
  14. Do you have another cabinet or an appliance to the right of it? That will keep it from working.
  15. Yes I understand that but the question wasnt clear if it was for the decking, or in 2d for a fill as he is showing in the picture. Both different answer depending on the requirement. BTW you can also simply use guide lines and the 3 key oob (break tool) to do the staggering. But you need to make sure the deck room is set to maintain its framing or it will try to fix it.
  16. Please explain your question more.
  17. Use ALDO. BTW if the little red plus sign is there then it is actually being used.
  18. This was what I was implying to for making the cabinet doors above using the bifold doors as the starting point. But going direct to making it a symbol is a great way too.
  19. Workaround is to create a room polyline and fill the polyline instead of the room. Best to put on separate locked layer when done.
  20. 5 minutes to begin with in x14 sounds crazy long to me so I don't think I am understanding your issue. Maybe you can help us out with some more information. Just so everyone is clear and hopefully someone can help here. You are using Chief Architect Premiere X15 Not a Home Designer Pro product correct? (Your signature still says X13 and you refer to version 15 Pro, so if you could please clarify and/or update your signature that would be very helpful.) With the hardware could you fill us in what you have so someone with a similar system can try to answer and/or test for you as well. (This would also be great info to put in your signature line so its available on questions like this one.)
  21. Print Screen of a blank template and then imported as a png file with no background. Own layer and locked obviously.
  22. Assuming this is for a rendering it would require a custom Door panel that is doable but definitely will take some work. Use a Tall Cabinet with a custom top hinged door with the sections you want to see open as the door. Here is a VERY QUICK version of it with two doors shown just to give you the idea. You would need to have on a separate layer set/layer turned off with another one that shows it closed. Also requires a doorway as Joe mentions.
  23. Try using find from schedule group change to not used and either move them all by cutting and pasting or deleting all but one. I will sometimes place notes in the cad detail where my schedule is off to the side that is cropped out of the layout view. Some reasons are for custom items to be added or sub groups within the same nite style.
  24. appears the OP is looking at the ALDO for the plan view and not the 3d view.
  25. Honestly sounds like it should be a complete resubmittal with fresh set of plans showing what has been done and what is the actual proposed. Remove previous plans from project completely. The AHJ examiner should be on board with this seeing as to the fact there is SUBSTANTIAL structural and architectural changes.
