I probably wouldn't do it this was as I said above , but you have every room set at 0mm ceiling height and all the floors are set at 0mm too, hence the slab you see sitting on the ground, each room's floor needs to be at the height of the Slabs in the Elevation. ie 600mm next one 1200mm etc....

I think in this case you could even use Polyline Solids drawn in elevation and shaped to the stair-runs shown in the pic above. I might use a room made with Foundation walls if retaining walls were also needed. M.

For a few years now I have used a Store Front Wall Type, which is essentially a Wall type similar to "Frame 3 1/2" with the Framing Built and Shown ( turn Wall framing on in all Cameras) and then editing the Framing as needed to make it look like a Store Front, in Plan view, Wall Detail or 3D camera for quick deleting of "Studs". * The Mitre Framing Tool will help clean up Corners... ** best to draw the 1st wall, open it and on the structure Tab at the bottom uncheck Stagger Framing Layers, then pull wall further around. Mick.

Not sure that is possible, as it seems when a view refreshes it sometimes has the issue and other times not, but I will have to pay more attention the rest of the week. I am wondering if that was in a Plan brought forward from X12 though? M.

Personally I did not get an update this week, last one was Aug 16th I think? IIRC? you sure you were on the latest? ie : 0.55

The F1 key will always bring up context sensitive help in CA too.... I find the Manual PDF easier to search in many cases than the new Online help though...

Not sure if we've had another update ?, only been 1 so far..... If doesn't seem to happen on every Kitchen/bath for me though.....

I think most People open the Project Browser ( if not already open) and Right Click on the Page there > Edit Page Info......it's how I normally do it as the PB is always open on one of my secondary monitors.... M.

Nothing to be sorry for really, I was just giving Credit where Credit is due.... Mick

The Icons look similar , Edit Page Info has some Pages in the Icon next to the Pencil.... but it appears to be missing from that toolbar ...or moved?

Thanks , but the Solution was really Chopsaw's I was just reinforcing his post incase you had doubt's. Mick.

Check that some roof planes don't have the material set to 0" thick = invisible And for existing Roof planes Use Edit All Roof Planes , not the Roof Defaults. or post the plan....

The stairs are actually a curved section as you can see in plan view but the treads extend out to the Wall in the corner if the Winder setting is checked, but AFAIK CA still "thinks" it is a curve stair , hence some manual cleanup above the Winder Treads, though personally I find the Auto Stairwell Hole is rarely correct and needs adjustment , though it is a good place to start. M.

Have you worked through the Tutorial Guide by Chance? it's all about Defaults at the beginning.... ie the Walls , Roof, Foundation etc etc and only then Drawing.... https://cloud.chiefarchitect.com/1/pdf/documentation/chief-architect-x13-tutorial-guide.pdf 1. Yes every new plan uses the same Plan as a Template and apparently Auto Roof is On in your Template. 2. The Template also controls the Wall Type, default is Siding, so no it won't look like your House ...how would Chief know what your house looks like? 3. Place a Full camera inside the house instead of using the full overview and turning off Layers> Ceilings or use Floor Overview instead 4. No...don't use a Slab.... build a New Floor Foundation > Mono Slab. 5. at minute 4 approx, you are on level 0 , you are taken there on making a Foundation, so all you see is the Monoslab, then you delete it, which immediately takes you back to level 1, when all you needed to do was go up one level to level 1. Mick You might want to attend this on Friday too ? https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/3788144529700321551

I tend to agree with Eric especially if you plan to pass off the Plans for ConDocs later. HD Pro is now $600 ( Sept 1st 2021) but they immediately put it on Sale again , so it is back to $500 currently for HD Pro 2022. M.

I think you got it now ? but Chopsaw is right...... Existing Roof planes do not rebuild via Defaults ....in newer Versions it will warn you that you need to use Edit All Roof planes instead.

I had thought that too ( getting old?) and tried that 1st, (*) but ended up having to use the method above with the Terrain Wall. (On a slope the no room def. setting seems to be ignored and 1 wall replaces the other ) I can't remember if this was an official method and we lost some functionality somewhere along the line or if it was always a "workaround" in earlier versions. M. Edit: *I missed you said both walls were No Room Def. you need 1 of each as mentioned below....

Yes, that was what I was thinking , it was changed years ago in most places I've worked. M.

just curious if that is allowable in Oz? it wouldn't meet Code in most parts of Nth America AFAIK due to there being nowhere to step. (Put your foot) M.

I don't think I have any "inside" info in that regard , but can imagine it may have something to do with certain Wall types, having (auto) framing which wouldn't be possible. ( programming nightmare ) If you can't get the look you want ie the Lattice, then the Option, like I did above, is to make one Panel ( polyline solids multicopied ) and save it as a Millwork Symbol (Railing Panel Option) and apply it to the Fence. Mick.

Perhaps you should put a tutorial in the Tips Section , since you seem to have the DL on this problem as related to Chief at least.... M.

You can place a Railing on a Terrain Wall and use the Follow Terrain Setting ( or Step as below ) https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01003/adding-fencing-to-stone-walls.html M.

What did it say? pretty sure I used X12 as I saw it in your Sig. ...try the ones below as the plan is definitely in X12 I actually think you would be better off just making the Door a symbol ( no frame or transom) and installing it into a Hinged Auto Door Frame and configure from there.... Front Entry Door - Half Circle Motif.calibz Arched Front Entry Door.calibz

Setting it to Fixed , not Auto in the Symbol Options , should fix that. Once you place it in a new plan you need to set the height to 152" ( will pick up default 80") and set the Arch to Broken at 32" Arched Front Entry Door.calibz ** see note in my 1st post

Zip the plan File or if needed a Link to the file on a Cloud account You can use the Windows Snipping Tool ( or mac equivalent ) to screen grab pics and post Images as well. You might want to do your Forum Signature too ( see mine below) making sure you mention X10 as the answers maybe different for X10 vs X13. Mick
