  1. There might be a better way, BUT I just had a go at it and if you change the wall to a Furred Wall on the Structure Panel it will go away. The downside is so will you base moulding which can be easily added back with a moulding poly line. If there is another way to fix this I don't know of one. Might be worth elevating this to support and let them have a look and see how they would solve.
  2. Thanks for the assist guys.... Today I awarded solution to DB because he used the term "wysiwyg" and he was first to the party. For real though, thanks for the help. Helps to have help to navigate Chief and its many facets.
  3. Reminds me of the Autocad days.... Oh wait I am still living in those days.
  4. Thanks.... I am drawing some basic details and this will help. The line weight is set to 50 in some of the lines like drywall lines in a wall section which makes no sense.
  5. RJ45 is the proper designation for the actual jack.
  6. Is there a way to set the line defaults in the CAD Detail from View tool? Whenever I use it the line weights are always too heavy and wanted to see if I could bypass having to change all of that. Thanks
  7. Have you tried copying the middle window up to be the third on top to make sure it has the same properties and dimensions? When I get a minute I am going to try and replicate and see what how chief behaves. Right now I am dealing with my own Chief setbacks.
  8. Try unmulling the bottom two and see if the top two will mull. That may tell you if they may be something with that top window that's keeping it from mulling.... such as the ceiling height. I can't remember if I have ever had a three mull stack like this. I have had 2 over 2 I know. I do remember having to mull those in a particular way.
  9. I can't open your drawing. I am on X16. What method did you use to create the stone section? Is that a region or invisible walls?
  10. Lesson to learn here is sometimes it's better to go eat than to work on Chief mysteries. Have a great day my friend.
  11. Hmmm.... I know that you can adjust the thickness of your soffits. Seems like if you adjusted the soffit thickness to say 1" and then reduced your overhang it might look something like this. Then I would adjust the vertical offset of the frieze the thickness of your soffit. Then lastly change the material of your soffit to what you want. Anyway, some things to try. You might be surprised.
  12. Hmm.... Check and see if it's still under the edit toolbar. This is the way I use the tool.
  13. You will for sure have to add a wide shed dormer to one side.... This can give you the head clearance needed. I would also raise the roof bearing up a bit to give more usable width in the middle.
  14. What is their current ability? What have they used that the concepts might cross over? How green are they? The learning curve for chief will be compounded if they have never put a full set of drawings together and if they don't have problem solving ability. I guess what I am saying is their next step might be reviewing current plans and watching you and jotting down questions for discussion. Your training may be more of an apprenticeship. This might be a good article to check out on the 30x rule. https://www.amanet.org/articles/30x-rule-great-managers-multiply-performance/
  15. Alright.... Took a minute BUT all of your floor joists are drawn as a BEAM instead of a joist. The software is assuming that you want a stud pack there to transfer load. If you change your beams to joists and reframe the wall it should frame normally.
