  1. Code is the same here. Measured from the nosing.
  2. I glanced at Mark's plan and something he had in there made me realize that it actually can be quite a bit quicker to use Delete Surface to create a symbol out of an actual cabinet for this particular scenario. I only ran through it once so the process is a little messy, but you'll get the idea...
  3. Eric was suggesting a method of posting a stripped own version of the plan, not a solution to your problem.
  4. For that scenario you'll not only have to spin that around every which way but you'll also have to use the Alt key to limit which faces you're deleting. Way more time consuming than it's worth. In my opinion, just build from scratch.
  5. Although I do think it makes sense as it works, I can also agree that the information in the Help files on this particular roof style is oddly generic and pretty minimal. It looks like it was just pulled from the Tutorial Guide and as such there's no context.
  6. You can't create a roof plane that references itself. That would be a circular reference. Besides, it's called an upper pitch.
  7. Yes. It's being measured as Levis shows. The baseline is the other way. Its a gable end which has no baseline of it's own from which to measure for that Upper Pitch.
  8. What I was saying is that you didn't need the extra schedule before either. Never needed a second schedule. My screen shot was from an x11 schedule.
  9. No need for the second schedule, and there's no need for the extra macro either...In X12 you can add the schedule number using the window label, but prior to X12 it was controlled via the schedule...
  10. Here's how those Flat Regions work... ...and Flatten pad does the exact same thing.
  11. Actually, the room isn't doing anything. What happens when you check Flatten Pad is the exact same thing that would happen if you were to place a Flat Region (Cut/Fill) shaped exactly like your exterior room perimeter on the lot. Chief just modifies the terrain to essentially create a flat spot on the desired footprint without adding or removing any material from that area. It might dip down to make this happen (cut) or it might rise up (fill)...
  12. I was thinking perhaps you just know someone named Norman who's a jerk and you naturally confused the 2 terms.
  13. Not 100% positive this is the solution I would ultimately end up using but here's some of the first things that come to mind...
  14. Select large p-line, click the subtraction tool, and then click the shape you want to subtract (smaller p-line).
  15. Actually, Chief calls it a Half-Hip...
  16. You don't need to use that Hole In Polyline Solid setting. Just use boolean operations (polyline subtraction).
  17. There's actually a built in automatic functionality for that...
  18. No. You can use any number of things to fill in that area. In addition to: Walls Walls (No Room Definition) Optionally manually adjusted wall polylines ...you can also use: A second (Copy/Paste Hold Position) ceiling plane that is the full height if the drop and set to be solid drywall in lieu of the framing layer One or more polyline solids One or more molding polylines (along with a 3D molding symbol can even provide unique framing components) A material region (which has some quirks though) An overlayed soffit Etc.
  19. This is exactly what I was guessing but wasn't sure.
  20. I'm curious about what we're looking at here. The one on top looks clean, but also cheap and unrealistic. The one on the bottom looks awful in my opinion (the backsplash, upper cabinets, and photo hanging on the wall immediately jump out). The one in the middle is hands down the most realistic but it looks grainy and incomplete. Which rendering is from which software and using which rendering style?
  21. On that elevation region, do you possibly have Interior Is Flat unchecked?
  22. No. You can pretty easily accomplish this with a macro/keystroke recorder though. Object Layer Properties>Tab(x4)>Space>Enter
  23. This one isn't anything special. Chief simply DOES curved doors.
  24. Who says Chief doesn't do curved doors?
