THANK YOU for the replies. I moved the story pole and its reach to the other side and it seemed to pick up everything

I have 2 buildings and the story pole seems to want to pull the correct data from one larger existing home (that will not be changed and is not part of the submittal) and not so great off the separate smaller building that is in the submittal scope of work. I'd like to pull the story pole info off the smaller building but it's not cooperating. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ievtup48zv0zv6qkgi5r0/STORY-POLE-PLAN.plan?rlkey=xk4cpkl3lvu4079tr45czggux&dl=0

Weird. My template plan seems to separate them fine

I've got some text stacked in my story pole dims and can't figure out how to make them more readable. Thanks

X16 will probably follow the path of most other upgrades and include some amazing features that will help improve work flow and others that no one has ever 'suggested' or wanted (too many for me personally to list) but may prove to be useful. As usual hope is high and expectations low...

AWESOME!! Never knew that!!

...without having the chaos that having 2 schedules creates? Never have figured this out. Is there a way to create a second 'Note Schedule' for the second floor without duplicating numbered notes within that new schedule?

Awesome Steve!! Probably should have tried the same. Thank You

Seems like I've done this a hundred times in the past but on this plan I can't seem to get rafters to show unless the roof reaches a certain length. Any help greatly appreciated. Plan file https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5rxr1nvymtsg2k7qds6aw/RAFTERS.plan?rlkey=ht3eiapqqjmia8wpez5n3wy05&dl=0

Thanks V

Got it figured out. Was a bit tricky with 2 stories and a deck and thank you for your help.

Thanks Ethan it does indeed look easy but brain's just not grasping the technique. I'll try again.

Dam, it looks so simple and appears to be so Sorry I thought the pic illustrated he condition and can't seem to figure out how to execute same. It's a second story deck with stairs that drop down the outside wall. Just can't grasp the method needed.

Been struggling (getting used to it) again with this crazy house I'm trying to design from old plans and can't figure out how to draw the stair condition in the attached pic. Thank You

Thanks, in the almost 25 years I've used Chief I've never, ever, used a paint layer. Didn't like the idea and won't use it again.

What is this layer intended for?

Thanks very much Rene! Yeah, had my eye on the 4070ti and I really only need one of my 3 monitors to meet modern enough specs. to view any RTRT renders. Thanks again. Can't believe we're on the eve of X16 though March seems like a likely release time frame to me.

Thanks Jim, pretty confusing out there and I have some legacy monitors that I need to make sure are compatible with the new display port and HDMI cards.

I've had my 1080 forever and it has suited me really well but it's time to upgrade. I don't need the fanciest nor the fastest but was wondering where the current sweet spot is in terms of price to performance value? Thank You

I remember this plan from a Week or so ago, I think something that wasn't mentioned was when changing floor thickness like you're doing, you want to lock the Bottom of the platform, forcing it to build Up By default it keeps the top of the structure, i.e., the Floor, at the default floor height, pushing the structure down, potentially messing up the ceiling heights below This was Soooo helpful. Not sure I really knew what that setting was for!

VERY helpful Tea. Thanks

Thanks Michael and same here with the random floor levels changing and in this case the framing forms some of the floor levels I'm trying to accomplish. See section pic above.

Thanks Rene, I've attached a screen shot of the second floor plan view with the section I'm trying to duplicate. Perhaps Picture/PDF boxes Layer is not turned on?

Thanks, so I guess you did know that I had that happen, rounding to the nearest 1/16 as shown in the dbx, but the value was 1/32 or 1/64. I'll keep that in mind because I know it will come up.

Need to get the floor levels correct in a plan I'm trying to duplicate and am fairly lost in how to execute. Any help greatly appreciated. The section should be part of the plans and has the floor levels I'm trying to duplicate.
