Is there any way to delete the hinge swing lines in elevation?

That did it ... Thanks Mike

I can't figure out how to change the porch roof height. I'd like to drop it 10" and nothing in "Room Specification > Structure" does the trick. Thanks, Bob

Thanks Bill... that did it!

In the attached truss detail my design shows the roof like the LEFT side and I want it like the RIGHT side. I know it's and easy fix, but I'm stuck. Thanks, as always. Bob Truss deail.pdf Eave.pdf

Thanks... I didn't know what "boxed eave" meant. I appreciate what this forum provides.

I have a continuous return on the gable ends and the soffit is level (perpendicular to facia), but on the eave ends the soffit is parallel to the roof plain. How do I make it like the gable end returns, perpendicular to the frieze board? Thanks in advance Bob

I made a CAD block and added it to my library, but when I go to use it again it disappears when I hit the explode button. This does not happen when using one of Chief's CAD blocks. What gives? Thanking all in advance. Bob

Nothing is lost forever (hopefully). In your menu bar go to: View > Toolbars. Make sure Toolbars is - ✓

Hey Justin, I'm a long time kitchen designer / cabinet maker that has used several different CAD programs over the years. I just started using Chief X6 and I'll be doing construction drawings for a local architect. It would be nice to exchange ideas and work flow processes with someone local. Bob

I'm new to CA and I've been having a terrible time with the program crashing, 6 times this morning alone with no common thread of what I was doing when it crashes. I'm using the current version of CA PremierX6, Build: 16.4.1.200SX I have a new Mac mini (Late 2014) 3 GHz Intel Dual Core i7 16 GB memory Intel Iris 1536 MB graphics card 24" LED Apple Cinema Display I have contacted support and they are trying to determine the problem. Does anybody else use a Mac mini? Does anyone else have a problem with crashing? Any suggestions? Attached pdf is error message I get serious error.pdf
