I believe you are right Makes sense I guess , its not really a post to rail if Newels are Taller !

The wall's (Ext.7) layers are also incorrect , you have the Drywall as the main layer which will make for some weird wall joining I'd think , but I can't tell from this plan as it seems you literally cut a 10' square section out of the middle of the house and posted to another plan to post it here. ( at least that's what I hope )

I think you may have found a quirk , I just tried it and I found if I did it once in the Wall>Railing or Deck Railing Defaults before drawing the Deck , the new railings allowed the Newel to be changed from the Newel Tab ,otherwise switching to Panel, was the only option to enable the height change from Default railing height. Hadn't thought about it before but not sure why we can't set a Newel Default height separate from the Railing Default height , it's pretty common in some areas Probably worth reporting as a bug David.

It's a pity stuff like this isn't on a posted Known Issues page , I stopped using this Arrow when I couldn't figure it out , it would of saved a bunch of time.....

Not an Apple person but I thought there were apps that did Flash for Apple now ? there is no Password on the videos I encountered.... Or perhaps buy a nice Surface 3 while you are in US .... mine seems to run chief okay for a "Pad"

Thanks Richard , I had missed that one , wonder if there is a way to bring Posts like that over here easily for Future Users , ( 11 pages to copy and paste ), the old forum is due to disappear at some point and lots of valuable info like that will disappear.

Are you trying to make a Nana Wall Johnny? David Michael (DMDz) made some a few versions back but you wouldn't be aware of his Site I'm guessing ? and his free ( and paid) Symbols. He has a Nana Wall system for free, you may need to convert the .alb to a calibz is all ( auto on Lib. menu) , it's the 3rd free symbol down I think.... http://www.davidmichaeldesigns.com/free.html

Wendy has 3 new sets of Videos at the moment posted over the long weekend..... here is the Series with Anno Sets https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/6468-stream-of-stuff-from-wendy/

you have this posted twice too Ron.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/6492-rons-dumb-question-of-the-month/

No, some monitors are touchscreen too but mostly not , while most Laptop screens are Touchscreen capable , unless you go real cheap on the laptop. you may need to clarify your question a bit more....

Thanks Wendy , great Tips and love the "Sneaky Garage Roof Build" , will be using that one.....

Don't forget the new icon on the Edit Toolbar for " remove molding from selected edge" too M.

Nicer but may incur copyright violations if used commercially you are right the 1st one does look better than nothing BTW

You did , I was looking for a text style or default after watching your videos yesterday , didn't occur to me that the colour was Layer assigned not a Text style. thanks, Mick.

as long as your username and the Signout button is in the Top RH corner , you are signed in , I was thinking you were somehow on the mobile theme even though not on a mobile computer... do you see new unread posts highlighted ? if so , you are definitely signed in M.

Same issue with Russ's image , I think perhaps he put it in his User Gallery and posted a link here instead of the pic itself, but hasn't unlocked his gallery for Public viewing yet.

Thanks Wendy,, i like that idea , did you set up a new Text Style for Roofs to do that ? I assume it's using the Default Text style now as I can't figure out it's setting.....did I miss that in one of your new videos ? (Thanks again for those BTW ...excellent) M.

You were asking about the baluster spacing in the staircase spec. in post no#9 so I assumed you were using the Auto Railing...... but I don't think you can with the Auto Railing , you get the default (code?) spacing only, another reason to use manual railings as for your other issue .....Not sure as I haven't come across that issue with a manual railing , personally I don't like Balusters sitting on treads look wise, but if I need that look I use the Staircase Auto Rail I am not sure Glenn's method with deck railings works on staircases , at least it hasn't for me , (I may have done it incorrectly) as the railing is over the staircase perhaps? unlike in the deck scenario where the railing is outside the deck ( posts fascia mounted) , perhaps if you altered the manual railing with an air gap layer like the deck railing but in reverse to push the railing in? so perhaps Yusef's ramp method maybe the only way? , may need Glenn to chip in on this one....

Thanks again Wendy , another excellent Set of videos , hopefully you'll have time to do more in the future. Mick.

Thanks Wendy , great videos , appreciate you putting in the Time to do those, I picked up a new Annotation Set and some nice Tips too, like how useful Alt-Q really is.... For someone who claims not to be a good trainer , those are excellent , you obviously enjoy what you do, and can tell you do with a smile on your face, unlike some of Chief's Own Trainers ....... I certainly haven't watched 20 for their Vids in a row ! Mick. edit : as Rich pointed out ...definitely worth a point or 3 , thx.

If you have the Plan , you have the 3D model , but this isn't an Architecture Course , it is on Construction Management , so Lew likely has it correct , though The Uni. has good Contractor relationships looking at their website , so I am surprised one of them isn't willing to Share a plan but there maybe Legal issues (copyright etc) with that. I am sure one of the guys will Happily accept a Commission to model a commercial or Multifamily Unit for the School's use though. M.

Thanks Kelly , I have the Time Out set to 5 mins and assumed if I'm on the phone or something it will Time Out the Plan I'm working on , but are you saying the Time Out only works if Chief is Idle not a Particular Plan? Come to think of it I am not sure I have seen the "Plan is idle message" more than once or twice I do open multiple plans all the time especially if working with the different options for a Client , but I also drop in here and over at HomeTalk too at breaks and am constantly opening Other's Plans to check them out and offer help if I can. M. edit: I have reset messages to see if I disabled the idle warning edit 2: the reset did work for the warning message , 5mins it barely enough time to read a new post here so no wonder I suppressed it.

not sure Jere , you don't see this? you aren't using the mobile theme are you? very bottom of page on the LH side

Or use the Cabinets DBX and the Appliance Tab/section to insert it

@Russ , not sure how you posted your image above but it is locked and I can't view it full size. @Mickey2 Curt isn't using the Staircase's railing , ...turn them all off and then using the Railing Tool to draw you Own , then select it and check the box "follow stairs" to stop it falling to the floor.....it must also be placed fully on the staircase for this to work properly or it will "fall" down too.
