I will remember that for another job. Seems what I am trying is not working. I added the frieze boards manually and all looks fine. When I moved my roofs to the second floor and unchecked roofs over this room, it did work - my frieze board came back - but on one side. I need to keep moving but will remember this. Thank you!

I did drop them 3" to expose my trim under the windows, that is the the case. So the fix would be to lower the garage space/ceiling 3" Thank you!

Ah! Very good. Thank you so much! I will keep an eye on this. I have been used to moving things regardless of these spaces - and I do keep running into things like this.

I did find that these two walls have the siding going up past the top plate 1 October, 2020 - Loom Recording (1).mp4

Hello, I am trying to get my frieze boards to show up on two roofs. This is one of my more simple rooflines I have drawn, but even putting a new roof on is not working. Maybe a conflict with the wall, but I even drew over the wall with the end wall that has a frieze board. Thoughts? And as always, I very much appreciate all the help everyone has offered!! Plan link in next post... Thank you, Steve 1 October, 2020 - Loom Recording.mp4

Yes, that is what I am finding. So it is from a corner/end that something changes.

To change to a pony wall means I would need to select both walls in the dbx, adding a pony wall. Then I would need to set up my heights. I have my setting as Main layer and as it shows in the video, it works differently depending on if you start from the middle or end - which I think it messed up. So I will chalk this up as - it is what it is. It really is not a big deal - was just bringing it up as what I see is some program issue. I'm just saying that I will spend more time messing with these settings that are defaulted for most of what I draw and so this is really a small thing. Thank you.

Here is what I find. If I place my pony wall in the center of the existing stem wall, it works as expected. Both main layers of the stem wall and the pony wall line up perfectly. If I start my pony wall on an end of the stem wall, it starts in a different place... 30 September, 2020 - Loom Recording (1).mp4

That is my settings

I will try the align option - that may work fast. I generate me foundation wall from my main floor. For daylight and walkout, I draw over the wall with a pony wall all set up with the conc. and siding walls with my daylight height set perfectly. This works very nice. Typically I only have one or two walls like this so it is fast. This home just happened to have a number of walls and I noticed it will not remain lined up.

Just wondering if this is normal or how things work in Chief. It would be nice to be able to just trace over my wall with the new wall and it be placed correctly. I guess I could try changing the walltype and see how that goes. No, I am using a pony wall that is all set up with heights. So done when I am done tracing over the original. 30 September, 2020 - Loom Recording.mp4

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong, but I cannot have these buttons (see image) open at the some time in two separate windows. When I click on a button on one window, the same button turns off on the other window.

Thank you!

I will check fur wall option. Did not think of that

Very cool! I will remember this. Thank you!

Learning about the material region - kind of like a solid with layers - very nice!

Very good. So far I got it working by not bumping it. But this is all helpful as I move forward. Thank you

No - I don't know what that is - so I will look into that - Thank you

Maybe I could just use a 3D molding line - add stone for the material

For now I am just holding the column away a little more than an 1". I just want to get this to the client - I can figure out other better ways later.

So I made a wall type that is only a stone wall - inside and out. I have a thin wall on my screen and placed this 4" wall on each side - worked fine. Then I wanted to copy the wall and base to the rear house wall as shown. But when it connects to the siding wall, it changes my stone wall to match the siding. I guess I can make a stone wall, but I do not want stone over the doors - I want columns. Thoughts?

Got it - Thought is looked like a ceiling plane

I found it. I had my Structure set to 9.25 for rafters. I had changed that from 3.5 when messing with some rafters that I later decided against.

Didn't work - Ugh! After I sized the vent to match the others, the cut line (whatever) shows up.
