Ringos

Thanks Joey. Then there must be a way to reference both of them in layout?

I liked the ease of using the wall hatching tool, but I don't see there is a way to leave the hatching and remove the wall. Super helpful, thank you.

Shcanada. Thank you. Are you just using cad box with hatching then instead of the wall hatch tool?

Renerabbitt So how do you do it?

SHCanada. When you hatch over a wall, it is not removed, right? So it still shows up on elevations and renderings?

Can you select two objects and copy multiple while dragging over a specified oc?

Say I wanted CA to even place the blocks down the foundation and figure out how many it should be? Or do I have to figure out manually how many piers and place them manually each time?

Trying to stay up-to-date on best practices. Chief makes a video of a process but then I don't ever see an update for years. I am wondering if there is any new developments in the chief program that makes this better? I've been using this as-built to demo to new construction method https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/9867/remodel-process.html Which is creating the as-built, then duplicating that and continuing to develop the demo and new construction, then overlaying the as-built on the remodel. What has been the best for others?

The engineer says 5' 10" OC for each, so I need to hit their measurements.

https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/302/multiple-copy.html Select both objects. Multiple copy from bottom tool bar. Click multiple copy interval in secondary menu and chose "evenly distribute objects with dragging." chose a number of objects. Chose a secondary number if you want another row placed from that one. right click and drag to location of last block.

I have created a foundation pier with concrete pad and concrete block. I want 13 spread out evenly. When I select the footer and post can I place them spread out evenly with multiple copy? If I place 13 and try to distribute evenly, it separates the post and footer and distributes 26 objects evenly. Seems like this is an elementary task, but I cannot figure it out.

Both texts say they are the same. Yet the rich text box looks bold and much bigger.

Where would one find the Header label text settings. When I go to framing specification (header) I don't see a text option but 6" arial rich text and 6" arial in the header text looks way different. I would like them to look the same.

I would enjoy learning what other have found is the best Font and Size for Plan and Layouts that is not Chief Blueprint. I need to change all text to a font and sizes that works for Rich Text and also keeps regular text looking the same as the rich text. Not only text but dimensions also. Maybe there is a way to do this globally so that it does not have to be done for every single dimension set and each text set?
