it's one piece, 12" x 48", and set to negative offsets with his method....

Okay I was thinking tipping out < due to Roof/Wall Loads eg Snow.... M.

The Slab is not sitting on the Footing nor is it "connected" to the stem walls due to the interior rigid insulation, the Slab is basically "floating" inside the Stemwalls , though personally I like to see rebar "pins" connecting them , having seen more than one example of (interior) slabs that have sunk over the years due to poor site preparation , ie no or little compaction. ( I assume ). M.

Which means you have SSA and thus X12 will be Free for you .... and all future versions too, while you keep SSA Current each year. ($525 per year currently) M.

Been hoping to hear that ...and so have waited for the 3070 Series to release to replace my 1070ti which doesn't do RTX. M.

Johnny will need to answer that ...but maybe to counteract "Tip Out" (over) forces similar to a retaining Wall. M.

Shouldn't be too difficult with the ability to copy or make new wall types , build the Wall Layers in Chief just like it's built in the real world , if you are having trouble provide a cross section from a Manufacturer (or ??? ) for example here on the Forum so someone can help you.... this video may help too. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5454/creating-a-new-wall-type-with-a-new-material.html M.

Seems to be do-able with the Wall Tools, have not built a whole house so......... but with some Custom Wall Types and a Custom Molding Profile for the Wall Cap it looks good. ( only an Architect could come up with an angle like 47.8° ) . It needs a little bit of work in the Cross section to adjust the Auto Detail CAD boxes but it's minimal for the Molding Chamfer and the fact Chief places 2 boxes for the Insulation due to the use of pony walls. I assumed the Walls would have Siding and Drywall ......... all done in X12 Beta as an X12 Test...

This can work for basic designs like a Kitchen or Bathroom , you can then make a Saved Plan View with Zoom enabled for each Option. there's a little more on it in this X10 Video , probably worth watching it fully, if you are not familiar with SPVs but the 3 option part is at about 10 mins. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/2421/saved-plan-views.html

Yes, in Chief that would be the Finished Ceiling Height though , not the Rough Ceiling Height which would normally be the Wall Height or Top Plates. M.

As Eric mentioned start another Thread with a few Pics and either He , I or someone will have a look , as I am not sure why you "lose the frame on the inside? you do need to make it wider if changing the inset to. You can delete your posts above about this and I will too , to clean up the thread. M.

I think you mean Top of Wall Plate and Rough Ceiling are the same thing... Typically that is probable right, but I usually use Top of Plate as well

It appears the CAD Block for the Symbol has been rotated somehow , open the Symbol ( Not Object) and on the 2D Block Tab have it generate a new one and see if it fixes it.

You can still add it back if you prefer the Icon , you can even make a Custom Copy Toolbar , with CUT and paste Hold etc etc included. M.

This is common , don't know the reason but is is sometimes easy to extend the wall in 3D up to the top by simply dragging it. Generally they show one floor below the floor the Deck is built on. they show on the Floor they build on but as mentioned yousan "show" them on the floor above or below if needed. Plan open in chief while uploading. M.

there are 12 of those Icons in Chief , so this might help in the Future...

Are you in a PBR View when this happens ? M.

not assigned to a Text Style is it?

The Quadro Cards have a special Double Precision Floating Point Chip along with the NV GPU and that precision is needed in Engineering , scientific, etc Applications for instance, and thus far outstrip the GTX/RTX line for those Applications , but Chief is not one of them, so they suggest the GTX line instead ( now RTX line). the Quadro cards can also have alot more dedicated memory up to 24GB currently I think , Chief suggest 4GB though I'd go 6 or 8 on a GTX/RTX card if I could. Quadro is Nvidia's brand for graphics cards intended for use in workstations running professional computer-aided design (CAD), computer-generated imagery (CGI), digital content creation (DCC) applications, scientific calculations and machine learning. The GPU chips on Quadro-branded graphics cards are identical to those used on GeForce-branded graphics cards. The Quadro cards differ substantially in their ECC memory and enhanced floating point precision, which tremendously reduce the risks of calculation errors. https://www.velocitymicro.com/blog/geforce-vs-quadro-whats-the-difference/ https://www.engineering.com/DesignSoftware/DesignSoftwareArticles/ArticleID/18630/Whats-the-Difference-Between-GeForce-and-Quadro-Graphics-Cards.aspx There is still alot of heated discussion on the Quadro VS GTX everywhere , some more talk over at Autodesk for example here..... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/quadro-vs-geforce-what-s-the-truth/td-p/8681995 Mick.

You can use the Pass-Through Frame Setting , uncheck Wall width and set it to the required depth to reach the exterior Wall M. The Plan to look at : Pass-Through as a Box Window.plan

Try a Pass-Through ( window Menu) instead of a Door Way perhaps

No I don't think so , it is just that Chief does not need the Quadro Series Cards, so they suggest saving some money but I believe Solidworks does like a Quadro ......

Reserved for future Pattern additions

Another Website for making Patterns I came across...........https://pattycake.io/ but here is a 6x30" Herringbone I made recently ....use File>Import>Pattern to bring it into Chief. Use the Rotate Angle on the pattern Tab is you want diagonal Herringbone (45°) 6x30 Herringbone.pat Feel free to add your Own to the thread for Others to download.

Hi G. I recently found this website for making Patterns ......................https://pattycake.io/ but here is a 6x30" which I think approximates the size you need, use File>Import>Pattern to bring it into Chief. Use the Rotate Angle on the pattern Tab if you want diagonal Herringbone (45°) as soon below 6x30 Herringbone.pat
