Thanks Jim, did not know of that library.

Thanks, that might work Alan. I'll give it a try.

Thanks Gregory but in this case it's actually a 'floor', not a 'roof'.

Thanks Scott but can't find any 'skylight' or 'skylights' in the library.

Seems pretty straight forward 1. Cut hole in the floor (since it's not technically a roof plane); 2. Grab skylight from the library and voila? Hole's no problem but can't for the life of me find a 'skylight' in the library. Is there another/better technique?

Brilliant DB. Thanks so much for the help.

Hey Robert, thanks for the response but I know how to change each individual note but don't know how to set that Text Style as the default.

This is making me nuts and I know it's right in front of my face but I can't seem to find the defaults for text note size. NOTES 1.plan

Unchecking the "use exterior sill" check box did the trick. Thanks Glenn.

THANK YOU!! Will give both suggestions a try when time allows.

I have a couple of windows that will be demoed and put them on a separate layer with dashed lines to show that they will be demoed. The problem is only some of the window display gets the dashed lines. There's a dark line defining the outside of the window (see pic) Is there a way to get that solid line to be dashed as well? THANKS

I think I figure it out. I have a second floor in my template plan and didn't delete it during building the model and the windows ended up on that second floor..

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but can't seem to get these windows right. Help greatly appreciated. Plan file below. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4d6xwlyy502y3bby5a78u/window-challenge.plan?rlkey=1vfyhcnpi9kgxnyozzbwv7ye0&dl=0

Thanks Tea, haven't had time to try your idea bit looks great. THANK YOU WORKED A TREAT!!

Never really done dormers before and can't seem to get them placed where I'd like them. THANK YOU! Plan below https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7xgor2a9sf8d7zihgn6vd/DORMER-1.plan?rlkey=lfsgf3gnxq9dz18zgpaykx4fl&dl=0

Thanks again John but 'the reference grid' and grid snap units are two different thing to my understanding and I use the snap units to nudge and locate objects small amounts. The 1/2" simply wouldn't work for me. To quote you "I'm pretty very sure all of this traces back to the 1/16" grid grid rounding this plan file was drawn on" and thanks for your help in discovering that info.

Thanks for the reply John. I have my primary dimensions to default to 1/2" because I don't want anything more accurate than that in my plans hence 12 - 5 7/16" is indeed close enough - for me. And YES it was the grid rounding setting that was causing the issue (I kinda remember that from the past now). Will probably never understand that but don't really need to and will change the setting going forward. And again thanks very much for taking the time to look over the plan!

Interesting?

Thanks and maybe to the theories but, as I always do, I select a wall, type in the measurement as in i.e. 11' - 8" then hit enter and the measurement shows as 11' - 8 1/2" - and only in this room? Have this happen and explained in the past but can't remember why Chief will sometimes behave this way. Has some thing to do with rounding algorithms? Dunno. Will post the plan

I think I understood this at one time but am a bit baffled by the behavior today. Each measurement in the pic is set to a whole number measurement but each measurement has an added 1/2" when finally displayed. Doesn't present a genuine problem in this case but could in a different context. Any help appreciated. ...and it only happens in this room. THANK YOU

OMG, I swear I looked all over for that setting. Thanks Gene.

Can it be done? THANKS

Yes Alan much better! Who'da thunkit?

THANK YOU GENE! Had no clue about the muntin width setting. I'll probably not mess with the connection issue right now but will keep your idea in mind.
