Inconsistent Fascia Heights on Hip Walls Within Same Room
Alaskan_Son replied to DefinedDesign's topic in General Q & A
Ben is correct. It seems that you are trying to accomplish something that is a mathematical impossibility. The only way to have the same fascia height, the same overhang, and the same plate height (ALL 3) while at the same time have different pitches would be to use trusses and make the heel height taller on one section or the other. With rafters its simply impossible. -
Creating a Curved Edge for Built in Wet Bar
Alaskan_Son replied to justnelson6's topic in General Q & A
Next time, just draw the object right in elevation view where it goes. -
I don't believe there is any way to set a default for this. I've actually meant to send in this request myself. I think about it almost every time I change that setting but naturally, I'm always in the middle of something and forget to write it down. I'm gonna send it in right now actually. You should as well.

I have macros that do this. Away from my computer but shoot me over an email if you want to discuss furtter and I’ll see what I can do for you when I get back to the office.

It took me a while to understand your problem. I think I finally get it. What you want is for Chief to read your mind. Okay, kinda joking, but not really. There are essentially 2 things you could be doing with the Priority settings right now: Prioritizing pre-cut studs in which case Chief will cut your trimmers AND cripples from studs Prioritizing plate material in which case Chief will cut your trimmers AND cripples from plate I think what you probably want is a Structural Member Reporting Priority list for each and every framing member type. Cut cripples from this, cut trimmers from this, cut sills from this, and so on.

Ya, I guess we should have clarified whether we were talking about a camera or a manually placed callout because the 2 are definitely different. I had been assuming we were talking about a camera, particularly because the callout arrow solution is relatively self evident. My assumption could have been wrong though.
-
As Rene suggested, I do indeed have some custom systems I've set up to do exactly this. That being said, Chief also has some built in non-macro based tools to do what you want as well. For example, you can navigate to the Labels tab for your schedule, set to Use Both Callout and Label, and then simply toggle the callout layer off for most layer sets, but in your schedule layer set, toggle the callout layer on and toggle the normal label layer off.

It’s still not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish. Are you wanting those arrows pointing in the opposite direction from what the camera is facing, or do you simply want them pointing left. There is a big difference. Currently the arrows point in the direction that the camera is facing, which makes perfect sense. I’m not sure why you would want them pointing in the opposite direction but if you wanted to do that, I imagine you could just change all cameras to use a custom arrow block pointing in the wrong direction. If your goal though is to actually face the camera in the opposite direction, then you have to set up a new camera facing that way. if however, your goal is to have ALL arrows pointing to the left regardless of which direction the camera is facing then you will have to individually change the arrow for each and every right facing camera on a case by case basis.

Are you saying that you want the arrow pointed in the opposite direction to what the camera is facing?

When Lowering a deck, the handrails lower, not the deck
Alaskan_Son replied to LancasterLinda's topic in General Q & A
The proper forum for your product can be found here... https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ That being said, it sound like you probably have Auto regenerate deck framing toggled off (assuming your product has that or a similar setting)... Toggle it back on and your decking should move with the room. -
Post the plan and someone will take a look, BUT I would start by trying to disconnect and then reconnect those driveways.
-
Your problem is that only have about 6" between your ceiling plane and your roof plane so Chief is having a difficult time knowing what to do with that. I don;t think anyone would build you trusses that shallow either. Drop your sloped ceiling planes down or raise your roof planes up and you should get more expected results.

" I think I'm done rendering in Chief .. "
Alaskan_Son replied to basketballman's topic in General Q & A
By the way, why are most of your posts wrapped in quotes. Are you using AI to write those too?
