There was a post on Skylights a while back where Scott and perhaps Bill Emery? played around with the skylight holes etc , not sure they got it perfect though. edit: found it..... it was Larry Sweeny , Scott did a vid. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/2183-skylight-problem/?hl=skylight M.

Thx for the heads Up , probably a good one to put in the Tips Forums under a CAD heading actually.

The Ramp technique was posted in the Tips Forum a while back by Yusef, there is a video and a plan file , the ramps are hidden on the Z Layer which is off if you look at the plan. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5306-deck-railing-post-fascia-mount-tip/?hl=%2Bramps+%2Blayer#entry46363

That makes them almost as old as some of CA's videos I'd be happy if you started a new Thread Wendy !

it might be as simple as someone clicked on the Color toggle Button (see pic) on those two computers , but I would still call the 1-800# as suggested. Color off can be Black and White or Greyscale depending on your setting in Preferences. M.

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.
