Thank you, This almost 91 year old mind remembered as soon as I read your reply.

I want to dimension to framing on the dimension layer. The dimension defaults dimension to wall thickness. How can I change the settings?

Thank you, Solved my problem.

On all of my views of the foundation walls, the blocks do not srart on top of the footer. Is there a way to tell chief to start the block on top of the footer?

Using X14 When I add the story pole dimensions to the cross section elevation view ,then covert the view to a cad detail from view, the story pole dimensions change. Example, The dimension on the story pole dimension at the sub-floor level is 0' in the cross section view. When converted to a cad detail from view, the dimension changes to 11'- 2 1/4". Also on X14 I can't edit the story pole text or move the text in the cad from detail view. Not the case in previous versions.

SORRY, I AM USING X13

This is the only roof on the plans that I can't get the trim to show. What am I missing? Hartman,Alexis ROOF TRIM .pdf

Using X12 Designing a two story residence. Is it possible to show the floor framing overview for each floor or roof separately without all of the floor framing being shown? On the layout page I have the floor framing for the first floor in plan view. On a separate layout page I have the floor framing for the second floor in plan view. When I click on Orthographic Framing Overview I get both floors framing views. I would like the framing overview for each floor on the layout page that I use for the plans instead of both floors framing being shown.

Thank you, problem solved.

Using X12 My exterior walls show only the stud wall lines with the fill color. How can I get the osb, siding, and drywall lines to show in the plan view. Also, my interior walls do not show the drywall lines.

Mick, Thank you.

Using X8. I am putting on a metal roof using standing rib panels. I can't find a way to make the standing rib show in prospective view. It just has a flat view. Am I too many versions of Chief behind? Thanks

Kiwideziner, Thank you very much I used 12' for the bottom chord and 6' for the top chord. The results was what I was looking for. This Forum has bailed me out many times and I thank all of you who answered my plea for help. Junior
