instead of screen try glass block material and make it really small.

Post your plan so we can have a look. its has to be some setting. I do the same as you with windows in brick and I don't see any problems like this.

I just draw them in Chief. Once you get the hang of it, it's easier than Autocad. I still use LT BTW, but only for Acad projects. if you would like more info maybe we could chat on the phone sometime.

You can always just add a sill to the door.

This is a good question. As I recall X16 did it too, but for me it looks fine until I build the foundation. Is that the case here?

Nice. That's some ninja stuff right there. I like this idea.

A few steps. 1. add your railing out in front of your window. you will move it into place later. 2. Change The railing to a Furred Wall underneath the structure panel. this will keep it from trying to merge with the adjacent wall. 3. move it into the brick cavity. You will need to hold your free moving button so it will allow you to place it with giving you an error. For me on a Mac that is the command button. 4. drag the ends to fit. 5. click the "No Locate" radio box on the general tab. This should keep it from getting dimensioned somehow.

You will need to compress the file to upload.

I have experienced the same. As I recall I had to select folder even in X16. Would be nice if I could set up folders and chief for that to automagically happen.

Thanks for the help everyone. And the short video @Renerabbitt... Some great tips in there.

@Renerabbitt For some reason the video won't play. Says 00:00 long.

Anyone know how to have chief fill in the cladding on this parapet wall on the rear where the roof knee wall intersects? Or is there a better way to draw this condition? File linked attached. Even zipped this is larger than 14 MB. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bbeynauuhmng7gv37hmiy/24-250025-Connell-X17.plan.zip?rlkey=d5dkdubygrh49bs2qjgxpsrjs&dl=0

This might be helpful.

Is the second part connected? part of the same floor, just lower?
