Going off memory here as I am not at my computer, but I believe in the print settings>page/sheet setup there is an option by the line weight scale to click 1 for all line weights (I believe it says something about Home Designer Pro versions in the description).

Every circumstance is different. Sometimes it will not work depending on the walls around it and room size, etc. You can use an invisible wall set to Non Room defining & PARTITION WALL that is placed so the middle of this invisible wall is at the outside layer of the wall you want to cut. This will allow the ceiling plane to snap to the middle of the new invisible wall.

Doesn't seem to affect most. It is apparently a small amount of users being affected. So obviously it is a configuration that is causing an issue with this. Chief is just trying to figure out what it is. I haven't seen any of these issues personally on my setup.

I don’t believe they made any changes at all to the saved plan views themselves. Or at least none I can think of off hand. They made more available to layout boxes for sure.

Interesting. That must be quite expensive in that area. Is that for the snow build-up?

This and pretty much all of the examples here can be done with the auto framing for about 95% of the roof with no real manual framing necessary. It’s just a matter of setting the lookout sizes rafter sizes and spanning girts if necessary etc.

I am typically showing a floor framing plan including decks so I almost ALWAYS use a small deck. A hint if you want to not mess with figuring heights is do it with a landing then turn off auto heights remove the landing and place the deck with the same elevation as the landing was at.

If you search for this issue you will find that it is very common for 3 reasons: 1.) Using live views instead of plot lines as Susan mentions above. 2.) Your model is very far from the 0,0 X/Y Coordinate 3.) The terrain is very large and/or you have an item very far away from the model that is causing distortion to the view.

Reset side windows most likely will fix the issue.

That is alot of wall types.

Just curious… Why?

As I put in your other post Landings are meant to be used as an interior landing between or on top of supporting walls. There is no such thing as a deck landing really. It is a small deck that the elevation is set with the floor elevation in the room dbx for that small deck. Then you can get beams and posts to auto build. That being said 99% of the time I am reframing my decks a different way than most using flush beams posts at the edges, etc. So I seldomly use any type of auto framing (other than to get the base of the rim joists and joists in place before turning on retain framing and manually adjusting it and adding my posts with the Post tool.

Landings are designed to fit between load bearing walls so will not frame with posts. A deck "landing" is actually a small deck with the elevation set to the height you want in the room dbx settings.

Draw the property line to actual north angle and add north angle in conjunction. Then rotate both north arrow and property to be at 90 to x/y and place over house. Site plan does not have to have the North arrow pointing up on layout. It just needs to show north in relation to the house plan.

Nice feature. Did you report it?

PBR as it worked in x13 and now x14 works the same. The additional RTRT does not currently work on Mac arm chips but is in development.

That all being said when I do them I use the slab tool and then set my heights as needed and put it on the footings layer to emulate the same line type...

Something like this? Harder to get the chamfer you want to see but typically just detailed in cad in a section. Here I added a manual footing and then manually adjusted the height to the thickness you want. It can be done with some workarounds for room heights but it generally causes more issues than a quick grab of the bottom drag up, shift and type the amount you want to change the wall height.

Export the pbr as a png or jpg and import into your layout.

Hey Johnny good to hear you are still with Chief. I have a new Studio with the Ultra chip. It runs extremely well and fast. No RTRT yet (although a certain competitor whose name starts with V and ends with works does offer a RTRT feature so the ability is there), but you can still do PBR and CPU RT.

There is separate controls for wall and regular railing so you can turn off the wall railing on the right and leave the regular railing on the right for the stairs above. hard to tell from standard rendering (shows better with line overlay turned on), but it looks like your stairs are not touching the same surface of that wall on the right which is why your wall railing looks funky.

Wow @solver that’s pretty harsh to troll someone’s post for offering symbols and content! You know a style palette is still a tool right? I would say 90% of users don’t have the know how to put that many style palettes together to do those items. The other 10% understand the work involved and value of the work put in, and 95% couldn’t put it all together with custom icons.

Try using a ceiling beam for a ceiling beam. It works pretty well.

What happens when you print it and look at the pdf. My guess is your GPU is having an issue. But this is how you know for sure.

Use the print method means the recommended way of producing a pdf document you use the stock installed "printer" of "Chief Architect save as PDF
