that's alright ...take the piss .... I work hard to beat CS to every post ....... was just making sure I didn't confuse a Newbie is all..... M.

try the fill window icon Eric has circle or zoom out ( mouse wheel) by the sounds of it you are too close.... M

Good news on the PC , and I believe $150 is a pretty good price for a 1TB Samsungbut check around eg newegg and amazon as prices on SSDs have dropped alot in the last 2-3 months

I see you started a new Thread , so perhaps other should copy and paste their support/suggestions over their too please

When you reset the Roof planes, you then need to select ALL the trusses , Open the DBX and check the force truss Rebuild box too. Is auto rebuild Roof still on? as those roof planes are not over your new Walls...., and i see trusses at correct height for those roof planes FYI.....you can't attach the .Plan file while the plan is open in Chief Architect.

Yep can't miss it now ...apparently you Son is a very nice guy ! M.

I guess I am not using Transparent fills in my walls ? but I do see some differences with the Built-in PDF printer still. M.

It doesn't count if you don't post the plan we all know your skills with 3D imagery Thanks for pinging me....

I tend to use Bullzip if I need to Email the file , if Printing direct then it maybe better to use the built in One as I have also seen the shading and line issues in other PDF Printers. M.

I sent a Report of your 1st Post asking they move it , perhaps if you do too they will ? I am not sure how to ask for a move of Post/thread otherwise ?

Nice Steve , should help someone, you should put it over in the Tips Forum too for other Users.... M.

In my Plan or in the 2nd KB Tut? Trusses ALWAYS build between the Roof and Ceiling plane so my guess would be that your Ceiling plan is at the default 8' or 9' Ceiling height for the Floor but you have raised the Roof ? just a guess cos you didn't provided the Plan or even a pic or two... edit: that KB tut is over a year old ( oct 2017) , so some of the settings maybe slightly different in X10 than in X9 , something I have come across before , eg in the Elevated Structures Tutorial which hasn't been update since 2015.

Forgot to mention , you may want to check the box for "no half post at wall " too so you don't get double Post where you don't want them....

All railings in CA are Walls , so use the Wall break tool and change one immediately so it doesn't join back to the other....eg set the newel height to 72" for part of it.

then make sure to do your Sig. as in particular the Version of Chief in use is important to many questions.... your name is always nice too ....

The Core Content is critical to all Chief built in Materials except some very basics which come with the Original Download. No worries we all start somewhere...... get the X10 Tutorial Guide ( see Help Menu) and work your way through it , when you have time , it is a pretty good Walkthrough for the basics.

Have to agree NEVER paint exterior Walls , just noticed your Foundation wall is a 8" conc. wall but appears to be the same Siding 4 ........ so try making a 8" concrete wall with a Siding layer instead if that is what you need or use Ponywalls for the Siding part. M.

Just noticed that your foundation walls are not aligning to the 1st floor either ..... so you may have other wall definition issues too

The walls do not change for me automatically after applying the gray B&B from the Library to them either for some reason , so I deleted them, change the default exterior wall to Siding4-Vertical, and redrew them them and it works.... ( might be a Plan brought forward issue I am not sure?) When you upgraded did you Install the Core Content on the Library menu? if not you may not have the B&B n the X10 Library Under Materials>Siding

Ahhh you don't have signatures enabled then..... *** to fill in your Signature like this .... go up to the top RH Corner above and click on your UserName> Account Settings> Signature.... and enable Signature (will Turn Green) then add your Hardware Details and Chief Software Version, as different Version require different Answers. ***To add Pics to your Posts please use Windows Snipping Tool , found under Windows Accessories in your Start Menu, Save the Snip to your Desktop and Drag it into the Light Grey Area of the Reply Window.

found it see above...... is it the Siding 4 Vertical you are trying to make/ change too?

You got it. **** but plan is empty? it's there plan just opens way off house..... others ....use fill window icon.... looks like you did your Profile ( i see your pic) but not your Signature , see mine below in Blue for how to do yours....

Make sure the plan is not open in Chief ( it locks it) and drag the file into the light gray area of the reply window... Edit: I also posted a Board and Batten Library for others in the Symbols and Content Forum if you want real 3D B&B

Hi Rod , it has been suggested to me that you need to move this thread to the Suggestions Forum otherwise the CA Team will NEVER look at it.....(and Also make a Formal Submission to Tech Support for a feature Update with Plan.) This and the Sloped Slab are two things Chief needs to address for garages specifically...... *** I think showing dotted lines , similar to how the footing shows to indicate a wall under the slab would work fine.

Turn off colour for elevations , don't send as current screen, and use Plot lines... would be the 1st 3 things I think of..... please do your Forum Signature when you get a chance , thx.
