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.

Been working on this for no less than an hour and can't seem to get it right. Any help greatly appreciated. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xiummhhsepflm3x7v8w3o/MUNTIN-PLAN.plan?rlkey=iiymodnpdpfwv0cbc7evfxtne&dl=0

I'll be darned if the walls were just out of alignment enough to throw things off. Thought it was kind of entertaining. Annoying but entertaining. THANK YOU

Just discovered this thread and want to thank you all for the great tips. Worked a treat in my custom application.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Struggled with that forever!!!

Thanks P, hope you're doing well! Tried a bunch of options but no love so far. Have t you ever had it work?

Is there a way to do so other than manually pulling up each wall in 3D?

Thanks Mick, seems like the more I know the less I remember about Chief.

Thanks Mick, I'll give it a try - forgot to change my signature.

Thanks Jim!! Worked a treat but a bit confusing as the ceiling is already set to 144" and seem like there should be no need to 'balloon through ceiling above' as the ceiling is already 12 ft tall? Oh well. THANKS AGAIN!

Found this old thread but can't seem to get rafter color to change using this technique. I have exposed rafter tails that I would like to be brown instead of the default 'fir' color.
