or what Larry said

if you know the existing roof line height that you have drawn copy it and if you want the fascia's to match lock the fascia heght or lock the baseline height on the one you want to match then paste the new ridge height, it will change the pitch and match the ridge heights

no I forgot that is why I suggested to call tech, I am not tech savy, I had to copy the user lib that is in the my document folder and paste it back in but not sure where sorry I can't help more

Call Chief support, I had this happen and they helped

Perry that's what I was suggesting but he wants the R.O. to show on the print at the door as a label from what I am understanding

I think only if you set a door to the r.o. that you want that door to be in the door label ten copy that door where you ant it, then if you have a differnt door you have to set that label and copy that one

If you go into door defaults under framing you can specify the r.o. for each side, and top, they when you set your defaults for your door schedule add the r.o. to your schedule and they will show, if you get a door that is different just set it in that door dbx

Nope files are not reversable

Some very good information on here just wish I had more time to spend doing some of these things to learn more, hopefully in the slower months I can thanks to all of your imput

Jay what area these are being done in is one of the first things I was going to ask also

Larry just a thought if you draw a pline solid in elevation where you want to extend the other pline solid will they extend, inother works will a pline solid cut and trim to another pline solid, not a my computer with Chief but just a thought, I know if you want to trim or extend a rafter you have to extend to another rafter

Lew I am sure they are Chief will have to be contacted on Tuesday.

you can email or call me at my listed numbers

Skinner I have one and could give it up, like Lew suggested I can check with CA on Monday to be sure I can do this without effecting my current lic agreement and lose that,

I also block any txt and save it so I don't loose it

here are the 2 walls that I made if you can use them or adjust them from what I am sending you walls.zip

I also made these 2 walls in Chief using beadboard pattern and adjusting to 8" wide and stretch to fit this might work also

see if this will work for you it is from 3d warehouse https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=9aa6e1c4c758f9bee6bd89d9bbf9e646

J Joey Chief usually does just before the final release but the program has been beta test by other members before it is offered to SSA subscribers

Graeme I understand that I was putting out there that if they were looking for a tester to test before V8 comes out to see how things were going I was will to help out since I have sent many request in, always willing to help improve the program even if they wanted to do some test between.

I would be willing to test stairs and railings if it didn't effect the correct version so that I could still work on things and I was sent a seperate file to work on with stairs

+100000 chief we need a big overhaul on stairs and railings and ASAP, chief users have been asking for a long time, if there is improvements made and can be put to use before the next version you would make a lot of users very very happy

no trouble here either using logitech on 3 computers

Perry doing a set of simple steps to the second floor steps are 42" wide and cover the wall below which has steps to the basement and they are jumping all over the place and a simple straight set of steps that should be nothing to do and I have to keep moving them back into position, very time consuming, Chief please fix fix the steps and railings

Glenn thanks for the info now is there a way to show it as 9'-1 1/8" rather then 109 1/8"
