Gene, did you watch the video I posted in your other thread?

It sounds to me like we (you) need to clarify some things and use the correct terminology. We have Truss Details and we have CAD Details. Truss details are essentially a section view of the actual truss framing. Any changes to the framing in the truss detail will actually change the truss framing in the model just as Glenn pointed out above. You may have some layers locked in the Detail Layer set by default. The 2 main layers you need to be concerned with are "Framing, Roof Trusses" and "Roofs, Gable Lines". I would recommend keeping the latter layer locked unless you really know what you're doing with it. CAD Details are exactly that...CAD details. No connection to the model whatsoever. If you use the CAD Detail From View it uses whatever layer set you're currently in and creates a new CAD Detail using that same layer set. In the truss example, if you open a Truss Detail and click CAD Detail From View, the CAD items will be placed onto the same layers as the items they're representing, so again, your 2 main layers will be "Framing, Roof Trusses" and "Roofs, Gable Lines". If they were locked originally, they still be locked.

Nice symbols. I particularly like what you did with the flames. Thanks for sharing!

It's because it's not a framing item and not something that actually exists as an "object" in Chief.

There must be something in the water. My oldest son just told me this morning that he might start on building some Christmas gift he's planing while we had a little down time. Then, right as I was reading this post, my youngest son walked in and showed me a Christmas ornament he just made.

Here’s a video I made for another user a while back that might help...

Just copy and paste from materials list to Excel.

By the way, your cheek wall issue is the result of your Roof Opening on the 1st floor cutting into your wall. Here's a quick complimentary video with a few tips on-the-house...

If you had posted the plan here in this thread, most people would have seen a long time ago that you already have a suitable floor. You're not building on the Attic floor, you're building on Floor 2, so the majority of this conversation is moot.

You bet. Followup note too: You can also lose any terrain holes that may have been present in the terrain during the cut process.

That is true, but you lose any customizations you may have made in the Terrain Specification dialog.

Terrain perimeters can't be cut and pasted. They get converted to standard polylines during the process. You can always turn the layer off and use your method in Edit Area Visible mode though.

Post plan and maybe I'll show you.

You should have a Fill Patterns folder in your Core Catalog. Might be time to click on Library>Update Library Catalogs

You should always post a plan for stuff like this wherever possible.

Just to be clear, I personally don't care. I know the reason for the limitation I pointed out. I was just highlighting a potential issue.

Nope.

Looks like you might have it under control, but a few hints and pieces of quick advice on the house for you guys: Use boxes and you have a height and width attribute to work with (no impossible scripting to deal with). Use a 3D object like a soffit and you not only get a height and width but you get a schedule without needing to use notes.

Can't speak to what Eric did, but it's easy to reproduce by blocking one of the corner cabinets without the other. If a corner cabinet is blocked without it's connected cabinet, you won't get the automated corner filler.

That's because one of the things that happens when you rebuild the foundation is that the whole floor is recreated, room definitions too.

The answer actually depends on the specific symbol and its 2D block. It can literally be any layer.

Just post the problematic plan and I bet you would have an accurate answer in minutes. I can tell you with near certainty that it's exactly what Glenn said though way back in the 3rd post.

The overhang does not match. Move this wall 1/2" to the right so that its in a symmetrical location compared to the corresponding wall on the left...

There is currently no efficient ways to automatically show a Callout in one Layer Set and a normal window label in another; however, there are tons of custom macro solutions that can be utilized to show different labels in different views. Here's a simple freebie on the house that will show a normal window label in your " Working Layer Set" (note that there is a space before the layer set name being used for the OOB Working Layer Set) and a schedule number in all other layer sets. Just paste this text into your window labels... %layer_set == " Working Layer Set" ? automatic_label : schedule_number%
