Thank you TeaTime

Hi guys, 

I am having a hard time making the line style for plumbing lines to show correctly on the layout. I have to zoom close to get them to show them "correct". I guess "correct" is what showing in the file Line-Label-2.png

They are on a layer called "Footings, Step Markers" where they can be displayed or not as you choose.

David,

Thank you for your quick response,  forgive my ignorance but what is this symbol, what if I decide to delete it, it's not locked but I still unable to select it. 

Thank you,

Hi all,

What is this symbol? it just appeared, I can't select it, I can't remove? 

Thank you,

Robert

great, thank you I did not know you can do that. 

Thank you 

I am trying to extend the wall behind the cabinets but I can't.  

I have a larger dormer in my design, please see pictures. The "cheek wall" I assume that's what they are called are showing in the plan. I am having a hard time removing them from the plan, or even make them invisible or even toggle them. I am trying to extend a full wall a couple of feet to contain the kitchen. Please see the pictures, I hope they would explain what I am trying to do.

Thank you all 

one last question, is there an automated way to configure the truss to have some of web members to be vertical ?

post your plan and it will be fixed

Shane, it's not much of a plan, I am trying to learn how to do it. I just created a rectangle. 

I GAVE UP !!! 

the room Flat Ceiling is unchecked, 

Hi all,

So I spend some time trying accomplish this, please see my master pieces vs an actual construction ! 

I checked and unchecked every option, NOTHING! any idea how can I accomplish that. 

Thank you all 

How bad is it ?  when things are so crazy busy I forgot about my OWN POST.

I need my life to slow down !!!  

Thank you all for your respond, this place is an amazing educational resource.

post and footing manually. BOTH the post and the footing show on level 1.

You are right.  that's what happened exactly 

I am sure someone asked this question before, but I could not find any posts. 

I am trying to show the Post Footings on the foundation plan;  The Post Footing Layer is ON.  but nothing is working short of redrawing them on the level 0. I can redraw them but I would like to know what am I doing wrong.

I must vent a little here, why does CA has the ability to do the most complex roofing and framing task so easily then something as simple as showing the Post Footings on the foundation plan is so unintuitive and difficult ?

How do you use the controller in chief? 

I enabled gamepad and configured it how wanted but can't get the program to respond using the gamepad (Dualshock)

Me too, I enabled the gamepad but it won't work.

Make sure you’re on the right floor level

thank you Michael,

well, I am trying to cut the roof rafter to over lap over the bearing beam, so what floor I should on . my issue also is how would do I rest the beam at the ends.

The more I use CA the better at it I am getting but still there are things I am having hard time mastering.  

Hi guys, 

I am looking for ideas and suggestions. as you see in the attached image, I have this shed roof, the rafter is 27 feet long. I would like to run a beam somewhere in the middle or above plumb with the loft railing. 

Any suggestion how would I go about doing that. I am opened to any ideas and suggestion including keeping it as is, but 27 feet long is making me uncomfortable 

Please be a little descriptive as far as the CA command sequence please.

Thank you.

Don't know

If the Solver, the KING,  of Chief Architect does not know!  I have a feeling that means it can't be done ..

Thank you,

Add them manually.

how would I add them manually, are these in the library somewhere ?

Hi Guys, 

I tried to do this going into the door specification dialogue window then into hardware but I could not figure it out, how I can configure the door to get a simple shed door like the one in the picture.

thank you,
