Have you turned it off and on again? Is it plugged in? Sorry couldn't resist the typical IT questions. But sometimes a restart will do the trick.

This has been my go to with this exact scenario. Cabinets give lots of control for Wainscot.

There is one issue that is known and that is an issue when using dropbox and some other cloud services and working on the plan without downloading them to your computer. It was an issue that dropbox had at some point but still comes up occasionally.

Make it with a 3d solid make it a symbol and designate it correctly in the components section of the symbol dbx as a shelf. Just like in the field we have to make custom items.

Try a distribution path as well.

So what are you looking for??? Hard to help otherwise...

Look at the different material options for brick and read up on lintels.

Did you check for Rocks in the Core Library?

This photo shows exactly what I was saying above: You are using a filter with nothing selected to show so you are getting the filtered results of nothing. You need it to say Not Filtered where it currently says Active Filter. Change that and get your library back.

1.) Turn off the filter. 2.) Make sure your bottom window is not minimized at the bottom. Key is that you have a filter setup in that profile.

Read up on the difference between textures and patterns. Hint vector views use patterns, the other views use textures.

You have a filter set which is not allowing you to see anything that does not fall into those filtered results. Click the dropdown arrow for the Filters box.

Funny, I was just showing you that workaround when you posted.

Not possible to do but you can try adding a polyline mask over it with a white angled hatch line with transparent background. It will make the lines look dashed as long as it is in the draw order above the hatching.

Little tricky since its a drop beam and not a wall. But you can do it many ways. A few that come to mind: 1.) Add an opening no material section to your floor definition above that 2.) 3d Solid 3.) Drop your ceiling to be inside that space possibly adding an "opening no material" portion to the ceiling definition. or Alternatively why have a dropped beam for the Deck area, you have enough room in the floor structure there to have a hidden beam there that the joists can hang from. P.S. You need a column in that corner, and its a PE's consultation but if you are able to get away with a beam that small with just 2-3 columns I would be shocked (maybe above as trusses could cantilever that.)

Thanks for this info. It is very important when you are having an issue with the software to have that information. Again to help you not have to type it all out you may find this article helpful.

Looks like it may be pretty hard to support that dormer but that is probably a question for a PE or at least the contractor who is going to do the work and will require a visit into the attic to see the existing conditions. For Chief and doing a dormer it is one of the more challenging things to do but this search of the dormer videos should help get you going as there are lots of good videos on it. There are some additional ones on youtube from some of the power users but I always recommend starting with the chief ones. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=video&q=dormer&page=1

Try copying and pasting in place of both of them, then resize them each to the transition point so there is one that will be the wall color and the other ceiling color, then paint them the colors you want to see. Copying and pasting in place helps you not have to start over just adjust it up to where you need it.

Thank you for including this information BTW that is very helpful in getting your answer. Just a tip as you can see many include this information as well as some system specs in their signature line so the other users can see it and it save you time typing it out each time you need answer. Welcome to the forums. There are lots of great users here that will for sure be able to help you get your questions answered once we are clear of what you are looking for.

Are you talking about a Dormer?

So from this picture I personally would have probably just used glass walls and manually placed columns floor and roof should be pretty easily accomplished.

Sorry never saw this because you didn’t tag me @GeneDavis or quote me… It looks like it got answered though.

Not like this where the left side is at 9.2 degree off of 90?

If it's not showing up at all that means it is somewhere possibly on another instance of that screen or on a monitor that is no longer connected. If the situation is the same as the OP and resetting side windows doesn't do it then call chief support on monday.

That is a good question, what is fairly accurate? Within 1" error or 8" error? This is highly varying depending upon the user. I have a client who is patient and lines up his pictures well and I have seen it within 1/2" on a 40' run with his. Another client who is not as patient and have seen 4-6" off. Camera could definitely be part of it in that case but my guess is angle of the photo has more. However with hover I have not found an inaccurate roof yet.
