Thanks all for the help. Shane

I will. Thanks. Didn't know you could edit the pony wall heights.

Apparently the Abutting roof tool only works for walls on the interior of the home. Bummer.

I did... I have used this before and it worked perfectly. Only thing I haven't done is create a new drawing and see if it still does it. I didn't start this drawing so I don't know what settings are lurking about that might be contributing to this. I submitted a ticket on it too.

I fixed this. There is setting in the roof object DBX, General Tab, Measurements called "Use Special Snapping". The radio box beside it was checked creating the behavior I was experiencing. Nice to know that is there as it can be useful.

Is there a way to get more control over roof hole edge snapping. I have a situation on a dormer where the first floor is brick exterior and the dormer frame sits on the first floor framed wall, BUT the wall is siding. The roof hole will not snap to the face of the dormer. My guess is that it has something to do with the attic walls flanking the dormer being brick faced as well because the roof is hopped up there. I have had this situation before but I never had such an issue. On the attached .plan its the dormer on the rear of the home. Thanks for having a look. Carmichael Remodel 2.plan.zip

Thanks guys. This helps me.

Morning all... See the attached. On the left side of this home there is a gable above which a new wall is being added. I need the exterior wall area below the roof line to be brick, while above remaining siding. I thought I could figure this out but I am not having any luck. Thanks in advance for having a look.

Hello All This is probably obvious to some, but what is the difference between Rich Text and Text in Chief? I know Rich Text is best for long lists of notes and such so I am more wondering if there is some difference other than the content itself. Thanks

From Chief Support: Hi Shane, I have been working on this and am currently unable to find the cause or a solution better than the one you have already offered. I have reported this to the development team to see if they can isolate the issue and come up with a better resolution. Regards,KristopherChief Architect Technical Consultant

Before generating the foundation you can choose whether Chief will show a mono slab or conventional foundation. The attached home is brick. For some reason it only generates the slab edge to the face of the stud wall and not the brick. Is this a setting somewhere that I am missing or something else? Thanks all for having a look. 26-250007.plan.zip

Sounds like a bug. I will report to chief. Shane

I will for sure report. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to look it over. Shane

Hello all A little mystery for all of you. Take a look at the attached plan. On the right side of the dormer the eave fascia is not drawing correctly. If the intersecting roof edge is pulled through or away from the main roof, the fascia is drawn as intended. Any idea what's going on here? Thanks for having a look. 26-250006.plan.zip

Good morning. Was the house already framed when you put the window in?
