  1. Good morning Everyone involved, Thank you for all the support. I really needed to get this done yesterday and thanks to all your input I accomplished it. Plus , I learned a very useful tool. Kindest Regards to all.
  2. Is there a way to create a 3D symbol of the building. I was wondering if you could fill me in on how to do this. I need to put 2 different house plans on a large lot. There are 26 houses in total on this site.
  3. I can do that, but it's not what I'm looking for. I am specifically looking for Bullets and columns. If I paste it from Word, I loose all the formatting. I think the notes option will work for me. I am just checking it out now. The CA text editor has a huge disadvantage over the text editor in ACAD. Its' a minor setback and I've spent way too much time trying different things. Thanks for letting me know about the Notes, much appreciated.
  4. This is typical for most of the drawings I do. I did notice that there is a notes schedule but wasn't sure how that worked for something like this. I will have other pages with numbered notes as well. Can you tell me how to start using the notes schedule (what command)?

  6. Is there a way to import the text you do in AutoCAD to Chief. I still have Acad, but I'm trying to steer away from it. I have to do a couple of pages of specifications that take up a whole sheet. UGH
  7. Well the text and columns sounded like it would work, it doesn't. Unfortunately the text just goes straight across the grid. I haven't had to manually type text like that in years. I love CA, but this sucks.
  8. Life Saver....Thank you, I will try that, I think that might work for me.
  9. I have looked though quite a lot of the Q & A's but couldn't find an answer to my problem. I've seen others with the same problem but didn't find a solution. (for example) I am trying to create notes that would consist of 3 columns with bullets that go 1 to 14.First I discovered there isn't the ability to create columns in the text editor provided with Chief, at least not that I could figure out. I have tried manually creating the 3 text boxes but then bullets start over with the number 1. Can someone tell me: 1. Can the text editor provided with Chief allow for columns. 2. If not, how do I change the bullet numbers to start where I need them to. 3. Is there a way to go past the number 9. Once I reach 9 the next number is 0 and it starts over again. I've been using AutoCAD since the 80's and this text editor is not very good when it comes to this. I have also tried creating the notes in Word and coping them into the text editor but then I loose the columns and the bullets just turn into basic numbers. Is there a way to choose which text editor change be used.
  10. I have no idea where to put the information in for that kind of floor. I have tried several things but I'm obviously missing something.
  11. Yes, that is what I am trying to get but with an ICF wall.
  12. Its just a term for Pressure Treated wood
  13. Can anyone tell me how the create a foundation with a wood floor joist system. The floor joist will sit on a pwf 2x4 (flat) sitting on the footing with the rim joist fastened to the ICF wall.
