When I do that I don't have to add an appliance. I simply change the bottom door to a single drawer, then click on "Specify" in the Appliance/Door/Drawer section and under Drawer Handle / Vertical position set the pull/handle 2" from the top.

Gene You gotta go a little deeper in the menu. - Click on Appliance/Door/Drawer "Specify" - Then you will see the setting you want under "Door Handle" Shane

I see that now. I have X16 so I can't open anyway. ugg. Shane

It should have your siding above the roof on the outside and drywall below on the inside. Unless I am missing something. Maybe if you posted your plan I could have a look.

When you open up the DBX for those walls what is the pony wall set to? Something might be out of sorts there. Another thing I would do is move the wall perpendicular to the roof to see if the wall behavior changes. The wall is acting on some directive you just gotta figure out what.

Probably a good thing that it was moved. I have clicked it accidentally before.

Thanks @robdyckfor the idea to look at the old drawing and dig into this further. I just went in and I know the cause, but I don't know why. When I cut the wall to make the fireplace bump out the space was temporarily not a room. When that happened the walls flipped around. Knowing this will help me in the future. While it doesn't make sense at least I know what the cause was.

I do need some Chief expert friends for sure. I have done pretty well on my own so far. things like this seem like a glitch in the software. Like why do things like this happen arbitrarily? if its not arbitrary then I would like to know what the cause is so I can be aware of it.

Here is the file that has the foundation walls flipped. it looks like somehow it was caused by adding the extension for the fireplace which wasn't there before. 27-250007A8-12-25B.plan.zip

If they have ESRI ArcGIS Pro, you can open the file (.shp or shape file) that you are referring to and export to a cad file or maybe even gpx file that can then be imported into Chief. EDIT: I looked and you can export .gpx from ArcGIS Pro. See here... https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/features-to-gpx.htm Shane

I wonder why that is an issue in the first place..... Might be a good thing to bring up to support to see what they have to say about it. Im not a fan of having #D solids all over the place.... I know sometimes they are necessary because of a special shape, but when it's fundamental stuff there should be a solution and not a work-around.

What GIS system are you using? Shane

Thanks.... I didn't even know that was a thing. TMYK.......

Dimension extensions missing AND foundation wall flipping around. I have been using chief for 8 months now and I really like it. I do have a couple questions about some things that happened in a recent plan that hopefully someone can explain. This plan was for the most part good to go with the exception of a few notes that needed to be added. The client did make some additional changes which I made. It involved adding a bath on the second floor and move a wall on the first. When I did my check of the drawings I noticed that some of the wall dimensions were missing from some walls that had dimensions before on the original check set.... These walls weren't touched in the changes. BUT the dimension line did pick up the wall that was being moved. I am trying to figure out what triggered the dimension extension falling off so I can know what to look for in the future when I make changes to a completed plan. Is this a common thing that happens? Anybody else experience this behavior? Secondly, My foundations are combination of pony walls with 12" block on the bottom for brick ledge and 8" block on top to catch the slab. At the porches out changes to a 12" block all the way up to just under the slab to catch the porch and finish floor turn down. I have this looking the way I want on the foundation. ***Rebuild foundations is turned off.*** When I went in to make the small changes to the foundation I noticed that all of my 12" block walls under porches and garage transitions were reversed. The edge was inside the main slab rather than extending out underneath the porches which is what it was supposed to do. I used the "Reverse Wall Direction" tool to fix them.... Any thoughts on why this would happen? It was every one of those particular walls. This house was reversed, but before the original check set which showed everything correctly. What concerns me on this is what else is disappearing or changing that I am not catching? Checking plans for random errors constantly is exhausting. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
