Still not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you have a T-shaped house with gables on the ends, the ridge lines are only going to line up if the ends of the house are the same size. If they are not the same size, then you can adjust the pitch to get the ridge to line up. See pictures below as an example.

Like I said, it's pretty basic.

Not sure about macs. Check the system requirements to see if your machine is supposed to work: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/sysreq.html If it does, then you should probably call tech support on Monday.

It's pretty basic and will only change the handrail that goes up against a wall. This picture shows a normal railing, one with extensions, one with extensions/returns, and the last one with just returns.

According to the help documentation, it isn't supported. Looks like you might need to submit a feature request.

Never noticed it was missing before but I agree with you that it should probably be there. Did you send Chief a bug report or feature request? I am pretty sure they won't respond to a random post like this.

Might be one of those cases where the view is drawing off the screen. Try hitting "fill window" (F6) to see if that makes it show. The other thing to check is if you are using a layer set that has everything turned off. If not one of these things, then you might want to post the plan .

How did you get what you are already showing? Assuming you are using a "specified" label, you should be able to use %elevationf% to get the same as the automatic label. If you want it formatted differently, you can use %elevation% and add your own formatting options such as %elevation.to_ft.round(0)%. If you need something more complicated, then you would probably need to write your own custom macro.

I played around with it for awhile to see if I could figure out a way to cause the kind of problems you are seeing and I couldn't. This sounds like a case for tech support.

Here are some tech articles that have more info that might help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00973/message-unable-to-open-the-file.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00099/accessing-your-archive-files.html

Are your angle snaps turned on? You can usually tell when they are off because you will have a symbol that looks like the angle snaps button following your cursor around. Are you in "alt" mode? You can usually tell because you will see "Alt" following your cursor around. You won't see this if you are just holding down the alt key, or using the right mouse button, or the control button, or maybe even some others. Did you mess around with your allowed angles in your general plan defaults? If you did, this could cause the problem you are seeing. If it's not one of those things, then you might want to post your plan or contact tech support.

Your plan is unavailable. Maybe you had it open when you tried to upload it.

I hope you mean X6 because I don't think you can import anything from version 6. Even X6 is old enough now that I would expect to find some problems with whatever you bring forward. You might want to make a fresh start instead.

As Chris and Larry both showed, you can just choose the arrowhead style that goes the other way. Another thing you could do is not use the cross section line with an arrowhead and use the leader line instead. Just select the callout and drag the diamond handle at the bottom to create it the same way you can for text objects. This should let you move the callout wherever you want.

Nope. You can use the search tool which is waaay faster than scrolling. You can also use the ALDO which will only show you the layers for the object you have selected.
