  1. I am having trouble trying to create a standard hollow metal door and frame for a small commercial project I am working on.  See attached details that show the conditions I was going for.  My basic conditions are an existing frame centered in a CMU wall and the same frame where I will later add some wall furring.  I thought I could just make a solid door and size the frame to a 2" x 5.5" rectangle and omit any interior or exterior casings but that doesn't seem to work.  I could add the door stops on later if necessary but I couldn't even get the frames to come in by themselves.  This seems like it should be simple to achieve.  I have experimented in the attached Chief file.

     

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.  

     

    PS.  again commercial project related .....my next question is going to be how to create a dropped grid ceiling that I can exactly adjust the grid size and location in each individual room.

  2. Trying to figure out way to do custom window grille for a 1/4 round window, as shown in attached files.  Also attached Chief X7 file for reference.

     

    Also having other minor issue with this model with walls poking thru a window, also noted on attached file.

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  3. I am having some trouble with a seemingly simple issue.  Not getting frieze boards to show up consistently..mostly on gable ends.  I am sure it is a simple fix but have not been able to pin it down.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  See attached plan file done in X6/64bit.

     

    Thanks,
