  2. If I try drawing a small Mezzanine as a second floor, this is what happens...
  3. I need to create a small Mezzanine in the garage -20' walls in garage. Do you use railings or perhaps a second floor? Thanks in advance Michael
  4. If I wanted to take a small image from the floor plan and make it into a cad file, how would I go about this?
  5. Is there any way to install a hidden pantry cabinet/door?
  6. Please review the image, I set on their exterior wall option to set a layer for horizontal framing and set the distance at 24" However only one girt is showing. Thanks, Michael
  7. The side walls on the porch are actually solid railings, shutting of the layer, shuts off the entire wall...
  8. In the image attached there are two (boards) above the ceiling, any ideas? Thank you
  9. I created a steel framed structure, see below, but when I add the windows and doors the girts show through, and they are also and missing the framing around them. Thanks in advance for your help. PS I tried YouTube and couldn't find anything.
  10. This the video i watched must have missed something
  11. I created a framing structure, however after watching the video on roof purlins, it produced no purlins, just many more rafters. I need purlins (horizontal members to span across the rafters/
  12. A few framing issues on this one, when inserting a door, it isn't automatically framing, and it actually has the girt layer in the doorway, is there an option for auto framing a door (auto framing is on) Thanks, Michael KATHY1.1 (2).zip
  13. Per specifications, I need to place 2 girts around the structure, however the lowest span is different than the upper, I thought I could make changes on a elevation view, but this shows the wall, not the framing? Any ideas? Michael
  14. Thanks! I’ll check it out
  15. ComputerMaster86 hasn’t responded yet, is there anyone who knows metal buildings?
  16. ComputerMaster86, you were recommended to me to help me with framing on a barndo structure.  If you could help it'd help me a lot.   I have a house like structure that needs metal columns 20' spacing with purlins across the roof span at the location of the columns, I use Chief primarily but need help with metal framing.

     

    Hope to hear from you!

     

    Thanks,

      I have been involved in post-framed buildings a 12+ years but, only in wood framing.  I have not really dealt with metal framing.

      Great thank you

  17. Nice thanks! PM on FB Messenger or here on this site?
  18. Let me if attaching plan files will be easier ??
  19. So, I'm new to framing in Chief. I attached a image, its how far I've gotten. Since I'm trying to create a metal building, I need to create columns (6X8) 20' apart, is this possible in the framing options? Also, there will be purlins above each column. Thanks in advance. KATHY1.1 (3).zip
  20. So I produce plans that include a 3d image, elevations, floor plans electrical, and mechanical. Does anyone here include framing on their plans? Thanks Michael
  21. Is it possible to offset the railings inward to create a 3ft overhang?? Possibly making the outer railing invisible and create walls inward?
  22. Created Rails on second floor, see plan file. I created the walls as solid, to beam, at 96". However, in the 3d plan its only showing them beams. Also, if this gets fixed, will it be possible to cut into the ceiling/floor for stairs? Thanks as always. TH5.plan
  23. Seems to fix the problem thanks!
