  1. Hello Everyone, I am trying to show a glass planter box bay window in a kitchen. It looks like a bay window but with out walls. I have used the bay window tool but I can't seem to get the same look as the GIF file I have attached. Does this need to be done using plane poly line's and then converting into a poly line solid? Thanks, Bill
  2. Thank you two for your response to my question. I will make terrain templates.... Thanks for the website kbird1..it was very helpful. Bill
  3. Can the terrain perimeter be set to a default of 12" below your foundation wall so you're not always having to adjust it when your drawing plans? I am using C.A. X12 Thanks, Bill
  4. Yes MrWiley, This is exactly what I was trying do. Thank you so much for the help in this matter. Bil
  5. Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm doing an addition and I am trying to get the old floor joists (2x8) to extend past the foundation and have the new floor joists (2x12) hang on the new 2x12 rim joist. Whenever I build the floor framing the program puts the new joists over the foundation and shows the old floor joists hanging on the ledger. Any suggestions? Attached is a file of how I would like it to be. I'm using Chief X12 Premier thank you in advance Bill
  6. Thank you Mr. Dyck. for the solution!!! Works perfectly!! Bill
  7. Hi folks, I been trying to use the electrical symbol for my bathroom exhaust fans. On my electrical schedule I have the NUMBER column showing and it shows E04 for my call out, which is I want it to show, However, when I go to the Electrical Service specification then go to Label and then click the radio button "Specify Label" I use the %schedule_number% click ok, it shows on the exhaust fan in the plan A01,E04. How do I get the label to show only the E04 by my fan? Attached is a picture of what I get Thanks, Bill
  8. Thank you all for the feed back and ideas on this. Bill
  9. No Mr. Martin. I wanted to show wall framing details for each side of the house for the General Contractor. In doing the wall framing (showing headers as well) it will unclutter my need to call out the headers in my framing plans.
  10. I'm trying to have the walls with the arrows drawn on them from my previous question have a final look like the framing photo I just downloaded. If the exterior wall of the garage isn't sitting under the exterior main floor(2nd story), will I need to create two separate cad details from the Wall Details, then send them to layout and stack them? Because when I use the backclipped cross section I keep getting the result showing the roof rafters from the photo below and I don't need to show the rafters. P.S. I hope I updated my signature correctly. Bill
  11. Hello all, I wanted to know how I can show a cross section framed wall detail for a 2-story house an attached attached garage on the side. Or can it only be done by making the cross section(s) a cad drawing? I'm using C.A. x12 thanks all!
  12. I use frame elevations for the City or County planners so I'm not having to do multiple call outs for door and widow headers on each floor Frame plan layer. I don't think it can be done using cross sections, because if I move the cross section back clip to get all the main walls, I lose the framing for the main floor dormer with the windows and such. I think I will do the point to point stitch as Mr. Davis suggested. Thanks guys or your input. Bill
