Is it possible to do ? is that what you are asking? yes i think so.... The photos of your Monitor are very hard to see , please use Windows Snipping Tool in Accessories to take Screen Captures instead Also please do you Forum signature , thanks....

I guess you could SEND TO (the same) LAYOUT from the Different Plans for each Floor, and avoid the trying to copy back into one Master Plan to do the ConDocs but once again , not something I regularly do.

Set Double Rim Joist in the Wall Type (Railing) Default Settings , on the Structure Tab. Default is Automatic = Single as far as I can tell. Mick.

There is also AwesomeBump which is free (open source) on GIT HUB , and a few other Sites which have Tutorials and Videos for it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/awesomebump.mirror/ Youtube tutorials: Tutorial #1. Generating normal texture from heigth texture Tutorial #2. Generating height texture from normal texture Tutorial #3. Generating normal, height, specular and occlusion textures from one image Tutorial #4. Building AwesomeBump from source Tutorial #5. AwesomeBump v1.0 presentation: Seamless textures and perspective tool Tutorial #6. AwesomeBump v2.0 presentation Tutorial #7. AwesomeBump v2.1 presentation Tutorial #8. AwesomeBump v2.1- starting from normal texture Tutorial #9. AwesomeBump v3.0 presentation: PBR textures Tutorial #10. AwesomeBump Pi (3.14) overview + materials texture feature. Tutorial #11. AwesomeBump v4.0 grunge maps. A quick cheat is to copy and paste the texture file info used on the Texture Panel into the BumpMap Panel and just use it... M.

Most Roofs in N.Amer. with a Parapet are Flat roofs and the Roof drains to it's own downpipes ( and scuppers) not to internal gutters, personally I have not seen these "fake" Parapets with a normal sloped roof behind them in your 2nd pic. I am not sure what you are calling a Soffit block or how you are using it , so can't really say why you are getting a gap, but I would of thought a normal wall could be used to do the Parapet? have a look at this KB Article.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00295/creating-a-flat-parapet-roof.html

Try keeping multiple Versions of each plan as you go while learning, eg do a Save As every hour with a new Rev.No# , so if you get too far down the Rabbit Hole chasing an Error like this one , you can step back a few versions if needed and try again.... might want to try setting your Redos at 30 or even 50 too. Post as many Questions as you want too Levina , lots of good people on the Forum who are willing to help....... just remember there is a REF.Manual and an Online Help (F1) to try 1st along with the KnowledgeBase Tutorials.... The New Tutorial Guide for X10 is worth going through too..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/34/roofs.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/documentation.html

The "lost Wall" is actually just inside the Front Door under the "Entry" label over the front door.....you could delete both.... It appears you have used the same Siding 6 Exterior Wall for many of the 1st floor walls in the House including the interior walls so I am not surprised CA is a bit confused the LH Garage wall should be marked a Hip roof.....you might want to read through the Roof Types Tutorial and refresh yourself on the basic styles and how to set them up. There is also 2 exterior walls on the 2nd floor on RH Side , easily seen in Plan view but also seen in 3D looking at the back Corner of the house. Corner board not aligned M.

Hi D3 , The Overhang may need to be done manually , unless the Upper floor doesn't align with the Main floor? can't tell in your pic.... *** the lower roof will build off the Porch Railing wall which you haven't drawn yet.... Attach the plan file while it is closed in Chief and some will look for you I am sure... Mick

It would mean having to use 2-3-4 Licenses for multiple Users and I think it might get pretty messy trying to copy floors back to a Master Plan at the End but I have not tried to do that specifically as I'm not 3 people M.

I would say from the Names above you should be able to get them from the Samples Gallery along with the PDFs and Videos if any are available for that Plan. Also Dalton Remodel and Riverstone I think and the Hillside Contemporary as I labelled that one X7 2015

I thought they used to list that but then they always think you have the latest which can open anything.... What year was X7 ? 2014? , I can look and see if I downloaded any Samples myself in whichever year.

Good catch but it appears to be only in plan view they aren't dimensioning accurately once stretched

Check the Sample Gallery..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/samples.html

You can also once clicked Close to what you want, use the Next icon on the Toolbar or perhaps quicker use the TAB key to scroll through things in the area of the Click. M.

I changed the Wall type to Railing Fence from Interior Railing (what you are seeing is the Drywall on the wall/floor below the railing) and checked Follow terrain and it seems to fix it, you'll need to alter the height again as you lose the Floor thickness from the height. Check DJP's video for other Ideas , I didn't look at it....

The Error reporting message does work , once they had a bad plan from me they were able to check those reports and figure out an Issue for me earlier in the year, so it is worth send bad plans in. *** Re the EKG I can relate , exact same thing happened to me, She was so freaked out, She pulled me off the Treadmill before it even stopped. She forgot to push record or something in the Panic, so I heard the Cardiologist telling her off.....I offered to get back on the treadmill ( I hadn't felt a thing) but there was no way they'd let me.

did you try 3D Warehouse? (Trimble) M.

Thanks Mark , that sounds good and makes me wonder even more why CA's symbols can't measure to centers too.... The 0" high seems wrong but it works ? that's one I haven't seen before. M.

Yep, strange one.......but then we know CA hates anything Round with lots of polygons......and many 3D Warehouse symbols are done by Students learning Sketchup for a School course, so you really need to check the Polygon count. M.

it's a pretty common error if you google search it..... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&q=fbx+converter+not+enough+parameters&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOkIyR2_7dAhUnJTQIHRpqAUwQ1QIIqgEoAg&biw=1425&bih=936 did they change the Converter to an SDK Kit? https://www.autodesk.com/products/fbx/overview

Perhaps they can Print to a different PDF Printer then, if using Sketchup's built-in one? eg BullZip which I use.

I have not seen that Alan , did you try importing into the plan and then sending to Layout ( I may misunderstand your workflow here? ) Mick.

I would contact Tech Support with this kind of Issue..... Are you the only one accessing your particular plan? , that is the only thing I can think of , other that the VPN used? some are slow due to encryption I have read.

Using FBX in what? I don't have anyway to test the File if it works..... Your DB is empty ?
