Thanks Robert -- that worked really well. Jim

Good morning, I have a tall double casement window (1) with a custom library brick sill (2). I need to make the window taller (3) and drop the sill to the finish floor... As soon as the sill goes below the floor plate, it disappears (4). (Not entirely surprised by this behavior). Wondering if there is a workaround to force the window sill to appear? Or do I need to show this with, say, a 3D solid? Thanks again,

It's controlled by layers. Turn on or off:

I google "Class A ridge vent" and it appears there are a number of products out there: Brandguard, Air Vent, etc. Once again, I don't think you need the mesh at the ridge vent. It's already built into the Vulcan vent and it keeps embers from entering the attic space. My guess is the the ridge vent product would just need to be compatible with your Class A rated roof -- I'm assuming asphalt shingle. So, I think you could make your detail work.

Yes, I would argue the Vulcan vent functions as the attic vent and the Cor-a-vent is "cosmetic." The Cor-a-vent may however need to satisfy the Class A requirement of the roofing system. I'd suggest looking into that. Jim

Can again confirm issue. Just happened on plan I'm working on. And yes, a bay window is in the plan. Jim

Thanks Chopsaw! Thanks TT! Jim

Hi, I was working with railing panels today and noticed the panel infill varied with panel type. Here's an example below. 3 railing walls each 10 feet long. 3 different library panel styles. You can see that the panel counts vary from 2 to 4. What controls the "repeat" behavior of railing panel infills? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks again, Jim

Doug, I appreciate your detailed input. Thanks. Jim

I totally agree! Jim

Ryan, That's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming. Jim

Hello, I've got my plan keynotes set up as a vertical list on the right side of my plan sheet which works just fine for the bulk of my projects: Well, I knew the day would arrive and now I have a large house with a wide floor plan. Accordingly, I want to set up my keynote schedule horizontally across the bottom of the sheet. Like this: (This example was done in Autocad, whose table object allows for multiple columns). Can this be easily done in Chief? I think the answer is "no," but thought I'd run it by the forum. I can see a messy workaround like multiple layout boxes pasted next to each other.... Thanks again for your help, Jim

Thanks Jason for your feedback. I think I'll just have to dive into this swimming pool and see how it goes! Jim

My hunch is font substitution is happening, i.e. you don't have the font installed on your system that the other designer is using.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to consider. I probably should watch the Chief site plan training video one more time as a refresher.
