Yes. You're so right.

The reason I don't do a pony wall method is because often times I need to use a pony wall for other reasons, such as a brick pony wall
Otherwise yes this works

That's a good point. Wouldn't it be great if ponies could have more than two walls?

That is a drawback because you have to address each exterior wall. The version I suggested is one and done. 

Rene's video prompted me to find a simpler way: 

1. Create a recessed baseboard like the one attached.

2. Change the walls into pony walls, with the lower wall being a copy of the upper wall.

3. Give the lower pony wall a 0” drywall thickness on both or one sides, depending on whether it's interior or exterior.
4. Make the lower wall height the same as the baseboard plus the floor thickness (same color too, if that's the look).
5. Align the main layers, if needed.
6. Save the molding and wall types. You're done.

I've had similar issues. Chief tech support could not replicate it, but it happened in a particular plan EVERY time I used cameras in that plan. But only on one fast computer with a 4090. Then, yesterday, it happened on a different plan. But it was an altogether different computer. Evidently, some computer/GPU combinations cause crashes, but neither I nor Chief have solved it. 

Years ago, this was in an obvious location. Now I can't recall where to change it. Let's say I want to change the 5 1/2" lengths to 3" without the glass pony wall snapping to the solid walls. I'm having a brain fart. 

The deck is definitely on the floor above the roofs. It's the only thing on that floor. 

I'm pretty sure I've solved this before, but my aging brain is giving me problems today. How does one enable the deck to show up when it's over a section of roof? Any help would be most appreciated. 

Aha! I spoke too soon. An hour later, the catalogs have deployed. Thank you. 

That works fine for User Catalog, but I still don't see how to handle Bonus and Manufacturers. 

I didn't want to trouble you, Rene. I will look at what you sent in the morning. Thanks so much!

This is probably simple, but I've not encountered it for a long time and don't remember the solution. While the walls are still present, the rooms are gone, as are their floors. When I turn on wall framing, it has raised about a foot as evidenced by the framing showing up at the bottom of the windows in 3D. Other elements raised too, like the exterior stone and its cap. 

The plan was created in X16, and I've had the same issue when bringing it forward to X17. 

The plan is too large to attach here, but if you want to take a look, it can be downloaded here for X17: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s6clgf0pou6t0vds9nb7b/PELLEGRINO-16-6.caproj?rlkey=wihf3j2ih78g96rdrp336vf53&dl=0

There should be some available in the 3D warehouse for Sketchup.

No issues. It is solid. Managed Projects will take some getting used to.

Right in front of me. Thanks Steve!

Does anyone know where the setting is, if it exists, to set a beam size for railing walls when choosing a Post to Beam railing?

And add mulch or something to outline its path.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Seems like there's a missing option in the roof dialog. If we could separate rafter tails from the rafters (calling them something else, of course), we could vertically offset them to be below the soffit. To my uneducated coding mind, it sounds simple. I suppose it's not.

I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to replicate the corbels. Rafter tails are not an option because the corbels are below the soffits. Manually attaching them to the horizontal elements should be simple, or so I assume, but I wonder if there's an automatic method. This abandoned home will eventually be a beauty once the squatters and their poop have been permanently removed.

I'll give that a try.

Hi David. I'm aware of those options, but they are workarounds. If I want a green forest background, the inside rooms are tinted green, unlike in real life or photography. Thank you!

Looking at past threads, this topic has come up repeatedly. Since it's been a while, I'm asking anew: Is there a setting that will cause a backdrop to NOT color a scene? I can do it with images, or in Photoshop, but has Chief implemented a button that I don't know about to fix this? The attached scene is entirely too green when a forest backdrop is deployed.

That's it. Thanks so much!
