  1. Apologies, I thought I already had my signature set, now I'm sure it is. Apparently my version is too old, When I select the exterior room, which i can see is about 1/4" inch around the outside of the garage, I do not have the Make Room Molding Polyline subcommand. How does this signature look anyway?
  2. well, further searching found this article, which appears to be the first part of what I was asking to do: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00070/adding-a-belly-band-to-a-structure.html At least the rendering in that article looks correct. I've gotten down to step 2 in that article where it says to click the Make Room Molding Polyline edit button, and it shows a bitmap picture of the command. On my system, I have a convert polyline command on lower left hand menu, but not Make Room Molding Polyline button. I really wish these articles would show where some of the commands they specify are.
  3. I'm still fairly new to Chief Architect, so when you say: Draw a molding line in plan view where you want the 1"x10" to be. Are you referring to a specific command to do this, of can I use a simple CAD->Lines->Draw Line? I cannot seem to locate a command to draw a molding.
  4. hI all, I've got a design for a matching garage/barn for the classic Queen Anne Victorian I'm designing. I've attached an image showing the garage. Basically, I want to place a 10" or so blank band right where the gable begins and above the band I want to use cedar shingles with a round bottom edge. On the actual building these would all be different colors. say white for the band and a darker version of the color on the main part of the wall. I hope I've described this clearly enough. I've looked online for answers, but nothing really looked like I want. Anyone have some ideas for this operation? -- Jay
