  1. From Tech Support, Hello, Thank you for the heads up here, I was able to replicate the issue and it appears as though those lookout framing sections are being dropped from the roof plane above. Much appreciate the heads up, unfortunately the only solution right now is to manually adjust those joists, in this case, I group selected them and unchecked Automatic Height and then Raised the height by 24" see attached image for result But I have filed with with the folk upstairs here, so hopefully we can get this addressed before too long. Again, thank you for the heads up and also for the kind words about the X14 release. In a separate notice I have passed your words onto the development team and the rest of the company. Regards, Kristopher Chief Architect Technical Consultant
  2. Thanks Steve. When I change the wall to an attic wall, delete all framing, then reframe everything, the lookouts still intrude into the adjacent room. Maybe not a bug on your system but I have to turn off roof rafters in the floor overview so those lookouts don't show in the kitchen wall. Again, maybe not a bug but it certainly bugs me. Here's, pic below, the framing after changing the wall, deleting and rebuilding all framing.
  3. Thanks Steve. I'll play around but your solution looks good.
  4. Here's X14 adding lookouts into the adjacent room and no large ridge but some weird roof framing.
  5. See the pic above. Never seen it before and X13 doesn't (apparently) use the Ridge Size as the Wall Ledger at least from my experience.
  6. Here's X13 with a large ridge and the proper sized rafters. Looks like (I think) it should. Never seen a rafter up against a wall that matched the ridge until now. Bug? Dunno. Sent it in.
  7. I do, still don't know how a template could affect a plan in the way shown. Did you look the plan over? And that last video? If you don't see the problem in the posted plan on your system, using your templates, then perhaps that's the problem? Sent it in to tech support. Awaiting comment.
  8. Looks like the condition in unique to the plan I posted above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD4R4YxljTk
  9. THANK YOU. How would the template affect the roof framing? I did spec the ridge at 5 x 14 (ish) and that large side joist seems to mimic that large ridge beam. Not sure how I could frame the roof that way if I tried. Does the plan I posted give any clues? Perhaps there's new setting I'm missing?
  10. SO, SO helpful Steve. VERY much appreciate your help and yeah I seem to run into so many anomalies like this and spend a lot of time trying to resolve. Thank you again for taking your time to post.
  11. Here's a roof framing bug I THINK I found. User error always suspect and only post to see if others experience the same thing? https://www.dropbox.com/s/10qkr4knn6vuqp6/ROOF BUG.plan?dl=0
  12. Wanted to have a thread dedicated to all things X-14 which I think is a BRILLIANT release. There are so many new features it's really hard to keep up. Linked details - wow. That new text leader tool - awesome. Callouts can now have different arrow styles - LONG time coming but so, so nice. Way too much to list but nice job Chief. Really nice job.
  13. I've got 2 new plans started with X14 and haven't used the new features yet but linking details? Sweet. Text leaders pulled from the text box. Nice. So much more. One small 'bug' so far upon moving doorways the preview of the doorway disappears so you can't see to relocate. I'll report. Otherwise stable here.
  14. I was thinking the same thing, assuming your post is showing that enthusiasm?
  15. Select foundation walls and spec 'stop at ceiling above' seems to have filled the gap with framing. Another method?
  16. Yeah pretty dumb thread title but was curious how to auto build the condition here. Thanks raised floor 1.plan
  17. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-12900K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-12700K/4118vs4119
  18. I concur and might add a suggestion re: the 4TB 3.5" HD? Why? Genuinely curious. Backup? Or? A 2 TB NVME seems to make the most sense these days and will be faster than the other drives and speed is usually the reason for the season. Also do not forget a GOOD cooling system as I believe the i9-12900F's run pretty hot. Also good chance your post will get lost in this thread but good luck and let us know what you end up with please.
  19. Thanks Rene, working through the video and appreciate the effort!! Some GREAT new features.
  20. Same here. Chief advises against such things but I've had only a couple minor problems.
  21. Never knew there was a 'Billboard' in Chief. Thanks Mark
