Sounds like a lot of fuss for this very simple structure. 100% Automatic including framing with the exception of manually adding the pilasters with get this the "post tool".

Post the plan as it is most likely something in the plan file or in the wall definition that is causing the issues. Never seen this before.

Look at the Wall layer intersection tool in the edit toolbar when you select the walls.

So not real sure why you are seeing the 9 m2 in the yellow box at the bottom, but what you are showing in the red box of .9 cu. meters is not the area. It is reporting the amount of subfloor for that room and its set to report to cubic meters in the material definition, It is not square meters rather cubic meters which is the area x the depth of the subfloor you have set. Two different values you are looking for.

Most likely this is the case. Just to add on to Dermot's solution. When you add a picture or a pdf directly to your layout you cannot reshape the box because it is not a layout box. If you send to a plan or better yet to a cad detail as Dermot suggests then send it to layout you are able to crop the layout box to exactly how you want it.

Don't forget to update your signature please.

1.) Reset your walls heigth to default top wall height in structures panel of the walls. If that doesn't do it... 2.) in plan view go to attic level with attic walls turned on and delete the invisible walls that you have there that are keeping the attic walls from rebuilding. If that doesn't do it... 3.) Do it how it would actually be built and select the three walls and on structures panel of the wall dbx select balloon through ceiling above so that it balloon frames those walls AIRL.

If it’s specific to floor framing. Turn off auto frame which if it’s is probably already done. Then you can marquis select all of the joists and group open them and change the depth. Probably best to change it in your defaults in floor structure as well to keep from any issues with elevations etc.

Yes quite interesting since you can no longer transfer licenses without selling your business. How can a new user start with x13?

I am guessing they must have not liked the proclamation. I gave you an upvote on this well explained alternative as there is nothing wrong with this method other than many have not found it necessary. BTW Exact same deck framing for my decks.

Yes. If you search the forum for cursor or icon you will find this has been asked hundreds if not thousands of times. It is one of the top ten newer user questions I would venture to say. But I was also helping you out by showing you the help file of what you can search and the answer to your question. Glad you got it figured out. Glad @Chopsawwas able to write it out.

Sorry I don't think we are on the same page. What I was trying to show was that if you drag to the bottom it will be horizontal instead of vertical so you will have that extra space to see your preview.

If you grab where it has the T and ... you can actually move that to the bottom for example or somewhere else where it gives you the space you need. You can see that in this shot from one of the previous posts.

Very common question. Some searching of the forum first will help many times. Or better yet F1 key and launch that help file.

I can see how this would be very frustrating as I customize my deck framing on every plan. But I have literally done I would say 5-600+ deck plans easy with chief over the years. Other than UE with not turning off auto framing or checking retain deck framing I have never lost it. I have when I didn't do that.

Losing room definition. Make sure you have retain framing checked.

All the components to a mini split unit.

Well dunno then. At least it earned me a downvote for asking you a question if that makes you feel any better. You know misery loves company.

Just curious about this. Was your answer not considered correct by other users? Did someone else offer a different method?

As others have shown to multiselect it has to have similar characteristics. However are you aware of the layer eyedropper and layer painter tools? It is quite fast to select an item on the proper layer you want and "paint" the other items albeit one by one but quickly. Alternative is you can select the layer painter tool directly which will allow you to set the layer you want. For an example if that layer is turned off in your SPV you are viewing then you can go through and put the items you don't want to see on that layer. Lots of plans that I see have imported symbols from 3d warehouse and/or made in sketchup on furniture or interior fixture layers for example when they should really be on the electrical layer. This allows me to go through on a non electrical layer showing view and click off the ones that need to be moved and they will "disappear" as I select them since the electrical layer is turned off and I can make sure I get all of the symbols converted that way.

@Renerabbitt

That is the direction of the wall. Ie interior or exterior side of the wall. seeing how you have already gotten a downvote you may want to refrain from marking your own answer as the correct answer unless it is the chief recommended way.
