Haven't seen that either Alan.

Roof framing - rafters end up on 'framing, roof rafters' layer. In this pretty unique situation I want most of the many, many, rafters to be grayed out to show existing framing below, with the new rafters darker to show new framing above AND I want the new rafters on a different layer. Almost done manually making the changes by manually selecting the roof rafters and changing layers. but any auto framing gets me right back to black on black rafters every where. Was wondering if one could send all roof rafters to a pre-selected layer? Or certain roof plane framing to another pre-selected layer?

I started up X6 the other day and noticed a general crispness that X7 is missing. I just shut it down and am taking my medicine with X7, Not happy but not that disappointed in the current X7 speed.

Deleted that layer Joe, thanks - sometimes the forest for the trees etc, etc, Much appreciated.

Trying to get a t&g finish on a vaulted ceiling. I know it's simple. Thanks in advance http://www.screencast.com/t/GY4pnR1Mtf

Funny Dennis!

Thought so - Thanks for confirming this Joe - appreciate your time.

This is all could find on the web - in the OLD forum - are there any new tools or is it done manually as this old thread suggests? Checked all the tutorials and every Chief source I could find. Thanks for any help. http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?17306-first-time-creating-a-crawl-space

Tried it - like it.

Bad picture but it's a pretty typical crawl space with posts (6 ft. O.C.) and beams on piers. Can Chief do it all? Or do I need to build the 2 X 6 framing and manually place the piers/footings/beams?

FAR. Gross floor area all floors - plus garage area - in San diego. Lot coverage - all structures, patios covers etc. Not driveways parking pads - City of Coronado.

It was meant to address this assertion.

Many of us have had this happen and I don't think there's any way the tech guys at Chief are going to be able to reproduce this but here's a Layout that didn't update and the simple (but shouldn't be necessary) fix. http://www.screencast.com/t/08zyXNMQaHIs

When it stops rebuilding the terrain (and it won't be easy to convince anyone that this actually happens until it happens to them) pressing the rebuild terrain button does not rebuild the terrain. When it decides to stop re-building it just stops rebuilding. Again I think you have to see it in person to really get the phenomenon. If I find it happen again I'll record it.

Glenn, Check the video at the 5:00 minute mark to see the terrain fail to re-draw. I've had this happen without a crash as well and always with the 3D view open as that's the only way I can tell if the terrain is changing or not. It's random and rare but I've had it happen twice that I can remember. http://www.screencast.com/t/3Ek3wjToLptQ

I'm interested too Curt. Thanks in advance.

Easy to do as Curt, Joe and Alan suggest. http://www.screencast.com/t/Hts8zoQvM

He does talk a little weird, but never misses a Chief fix. Scott did ask for a guru, I think Glenn fits the bill.

Weird.

Yeah, Sorry had to get rid of those, too early for my brain. I found some terrain data after deleting the elvation. Didn't seem like it belonged there. Is that normal? Or should the perimeter, without regions always be void of terrain data contour lines?

Looks like you have it solved - sort of. Did you intend for the terrain to be so low at the entry? http://www.screencast.com/t/VF0L1K55q

Yes. I was working on a plan and noticed nothing was changing in my overview as I changed elevation regions etc. Happened again while adjusting regionss right before Chief crashed. I just keep an eye on it now and if it stops redrawing I'll save, close and re-open the plan.

Really would like to see the plan - if you find the time.
