  1. I am so sorry for being difficult. I am not understanding the instructions. How do you explode the block? By placing into the layout? When I place it into layout and shrink to size because it just goes in gigantic, I cannot edit anything. It is an image at that point. I don't think I am doing it correctly. I open on the side dialogue box, and it will show library and a small preview at the bottom. I grab that preview with my cursor and left click and hold and drag onto my layout page.
  2. I noticed there are all these handy pre-done construction notes inside the program library under CAD details. How do you adjust any of these details, because I need to delete some items from the text or drawings? Thank you.
  3. I have been using the layout templates provided by Chief and I have a couple of issues modifying them. I cannot seem to modify the title block. In the screen grab you can see where it states overview. I was wanting to place the project name in the block above, but I cannot even open that block. Does anyone know how to open the template title block and adjust? Thank you for the help.
  4. OMG, I never saw that! That would be hilarious if I had not spent 6 hours trying everything under the sun. You are a genius! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!
  5. I keep generating what appears to be double walls. It actually looks like a normal wall within furring strips attached. I cannot seem to remove these no matter what solution I have tried. The wall details shows the double wall. I have removed all wall framing. Clicked on the wall and opened it. Looked at the wall type and then define. In the define area I have drywall 5/8" on exterior then the main wall of 5 1/2" stud then the inside wall as the 5/8". I specify that the walls be 16" on center. Then I reframe the walls and I still get the same thing - walls with extra furring strip. Also, my walls build to 24" on center and not the 16" but the furred wall builds to 16" on center.The furred wall is 5/8" thick like the drywall. I cannot click that separately and try to remove. I have tried for hours on this. Any help would be appreciated.
  6. no. The ridge height should adjust higher because the energy heel does that for the truss. The bottom cord on the energy truss still lays on the top plate.
  7. In the edit default settings go into the roof option. Inside the roof uncheck the box with the automatic birdsmouth cut (I think it is auto selected - cannot remember). Then Rais off plate enter the value for the energy heel height. Mine is 12".
