  1. For a basic Rollout you don't need a Library Item just check the Rollouts Option. If you want a Tray for the rollout (with sides) you will have to make you own though. It looks like Chief isn't adding the Glides to the Automatic count for the Cabinet when we check the Rollouts Option but it is easily fixed for now but should be reported. Just add +4 (=^ whatever is needed) to the Automatic count in the Components List. To add components hit the green Cross + sign , it will add an accessory , which you can then rename by clicking on it and change the Count...... I am just making a Rollout shelf , when done I'll post it M.
  2. If you were on Previous Betas Use the Reporting Tool , not TS for the Report, as it is seen faster still at this point...
  3. Your Welcome , I thought it might help those of use that think like Builders rather than Engineers (or Lighting Designers) For Others ....If you missed it the Diagram is here : LINK
  4. I am thinking you are right..... I'd have thought with a Monoslab the Foundation level ceiling heights would be 0" , since it's supplying the Floor for the Room above and nothing else.... The Defaults even show the Foundation has a Ceiling of 97" which is just weird.
  5. Just watching FL# 3 vid. ....no problem starting your own thread .... just trying to catch up from yesterday, as the old Structure Tab/Dynamic has always been an issue, so was hoping to pickup a few more Insights... Not sure I have had one as bad as the one you are working on in the CHBarry Video though.
  6. I was just about to look at your other Thread about this ....where should I start ?
  7. Not to me as I just do the above , ie copy the Auto one then turn off the display of the Chief ones and place my own. Symbols wouldn't allow you to change the Rise and Run as needed I don't think which would be an Issue, since I don't use precut Stringers from HD.
  8. Looks like he may have exported the the .calibz in X11 Melissa, assuming you tried with X10 X11 should be in your Digital Locker if your SSA is good through March 30 under the upgrade Button, it doesn't install over X10 so you can have both running.
  9. It can be a pain that's for sure especially with composite Decking where its nice to have them 12" apart not 16". You would think if they can generate 1 stringer spaced evenly that they could space 2 or 3 evenly just as easily.
  10. This post maybe of Interest too you...George just posted a new Material.....
  11. Just a suggestion to change your Thread Title to Spanish Roof Tile Materials...or something similar so Others will find it in the Future too..... M.
  12. No we didn't get that in X11 , so the old workaround of doing a Backclipped Cross section through the Staircase , tracing the Stringer with CAD Lines and converting the Closed Polyline to a Polyline Solid ( and then a Solid if you want to save it) is still the best way as far as I have seen.... Here's a Practice Plan I still have from Last year to look at.... MHD_Stair Stringer Plan.plan
  13. As Glenn said they show in plan View and let you show the tread Overhang and Center Stringer etc. depending on what is drawn they may not show much , eg with a Ramp...
  14. Charles is also in Hawaii @Charles
  15. Well you are the 2nd or third person today , so maybe you should M
  16. Do both Soffits show the same behaviour out of curiosity? ie pull the narrower on back inside kitchen and wider one over the Wall? or don't and fill gap only with a solid PS. X11 is in your Digital Locker assuming your SSA is good through March 30th. M.
  17. All doable , if somewhat manually...look in the KB for a Tutorial on Pole Structures. Also Search for Barns etc on this Forum as I have worked on Several plans for others in the Last few Months for this kind of structure M.
  18. X11 is in your Digital Locker assuming your SSA is good through March 30th. M.
  19. It looks like CA doesn't recognise the Concrete cutout at all , which is why the Auto Dims and Opening/Framing dims locators aren't working as expected, as there is nothing to snap to for the Cutout .....so it is only "seeing" the opening. Just have to use Point to Point Dims on the Foundation level........ *** I see Brian's Post too now.... which explains why I had to set Rough Opening and Conc. cut out to 0" to make it look right...
  20. It seems my local guy has us do it slightly different than normal due to having issues in the past with Framers who aren't very accurate or Own a Level , they have us frame it so the Opening is FINISHED 1" smaller than the Door size all around ....so 1" less in height 2" less in width. as far as the Top Right Images goes .............My guess is that you are not locating the rough opening but the sides of the opening with the Dim String....
  21. Your test plan is not the same as your houseplan.....you have 3.5" Casings and no conc. cutout..... but it's working Once I changed it it seems to work too , see pic below .......hmmmm let me look some more cos this is not how garage doors are normally framed PS. ITRW don't run the Jamb to the slab....that = rot and peeling paint.
  22. Which Rollouts are they ? if I use the Rev-a-Shelf ones they are in the component list as an "Insert" M.
  23. Are these maybe from X10 ? ie not working in X11 properly perhaps?
  24. Thanks Michael , certainly looks easier than Molding Lines and it will frame too....wasn't thinking about using Ceiling planes "outside"....
  25. Thanks for the Diagram will be handy when dealing with Lighting especially, which is the only place in the Manual I have ever seen Chief explain any of this actually, it's like you should "just know" the 0-180 line is the Horizon Line, but looking at the Diagram I realised it's just like looking at my old Drawing Protractor ( flipped down for the negatives) , so I made a quick Reference Image, figured someone else maybe able to use it too, if they have a "Practical " Brain like me....it's likely you can make it better than mine but I'm more about Function than Form If you search the Ref. Manual there is a bit on the Horizon dealing with Light Data or there is some info in this KB Tutorial on lighting too. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00777/working-with-light-sources.html
