If I understanding you correctly the room you want at the 9' keep as that in your settings then the rooms you want the ceiling to be higher open the room dbx and under ceilings just put in the 144 and the ceiling will be raised and sloped where needed

Chopsaw not sure either if you are doing this in a cad detail try just putting a space between (70 40 20) to see if that helps you, I always just put the space between each and it puts the symbol in automaticly it works for me 

try not using the symbol and just put a d or space between each segment (175.00' 12d12'36"n) or instead of the symbol just put the space between

They're going onto your " DEFAULT CAD LAYER".  Just turn that layer on.

Thanks Michael, I turned on all my layers and it was a mess next time I should do one at a time, as usual thank you much for your help much appreciated

I did a plot plan in a cad detail window (Costanzo plot plan) with all the corodances provided, see detail, when I try to bring in a plan footprint by selecting the cad, and then plan footprint I select first floor and nothing shows up anyone else have this problem, I am attaching the plan

Oh...gees...
I found it.

I have to check "other" to include the blocks in the schedule. 

There's an hour I'll never get back

Just think Chris there is also an hour you will never lose again for something like that

Chris Mark made the cabinet then selected the doors, adjusted there sizes, put glass in the top one, or like he said make 2 cabinets

can you make the protruding cabinet lets say 6" or so narrower

Thank you

I could go on but I will leave you with this. When Chief gets the Stair Tool to a professional level of capability and does away with rooms that drive practically everything and moves to Story for levels for defining elevations, and does away with the separate LAYOUT and puts everything in one file like REVIT, ARCHICAD, VECTORWORKS, to name a few, then I can honestly support Chief as a Professional Architectural Design Software. 

 

P.S. I am more than happy to speak with anyone wishing to know more but not here. I am only trying to encourage Chief as a Company....Come on guys you're so close and believe you can do it.

Pretty pictures, Elaborate libraries are nothing more than putting a very $5000 paint job on a dirt track bumper car. To the professional, this adds ZERO value when I need a solid can do it all software package to produce CONDOCs. The paint job is secondary.

Scott I agree I wish Chief would concentrate on revamping the stair and railing tools, and concentrate on producing construction documents since without accurate condoc there is no accurate pretty pictures like putting a house on the ground without any foundation

yea in elevation view it would be good when I do my section details I have a detail with gravel in it for superior walls, not sure if you have those type of walls out west since you don't need frost walls 

Scott what would be the purpose that you want to change the footing material since all footings are concrete, except back here if they use superior walls then it is on pee gravel compacted with drain tile around that is the only way you can put them on

Scott are you going to record the workshop

Basil that is a tough one for Chief but can be done if you use railing and newels seperate might be time consuming maybe someone else has a better idea, this is one place we have been asking for a revamp totally the stair and railing tool

Eric, I think he meant dvd, I have that one also someplace in my many older disks

Steve if you go under the layer and whichever layer display option at the bottom of the layer display option you can change the text style to the type and size you want that will change everything on that layer to the style and size I think that is what you are asking

Sweeny a couple things you might try is doing manual roofs with 2 seperate materials on them or doing a materal region for the for those area's,

While I think it is admirable to try to make things as clear as possible to a door supplier, it is also possible to take on unwarranted liability in doing so. If you give them a door schedule with simple door types, sizes, and hardware groups,  PLUS the floor plan, then they are responsible for determining the correct handing of the door, etc. This is what they do for a living. There will still be screw-ups, of course, but at least they won't be yours or Chief's.  

I agree with Richard let the floor plan show the swing and let the contractor order the door with the hinges and knobs on the way they do it in their county or area

Thanks Glenn know I remember if you had them in a plan for printing they showed ok but in 3d when you moved the camera you didn't see the same thing

in previous versions didn't we have a lib of people I don't use them but remember having them awhile ago some of the longtime members might remember

without posting your plan and knowing what version you are using it is just a guessing game for all
