Maybe there's a pony wall about 2" thicker that isn't being displayed on the plan. Then if the measurements are to the exterior of that wall you would get the discrepancy. We would need the actual Chief plan file - not a pdf - in order to know exactly.

Sounds like a bug. But in reality it's reporting the wall layer's material, not the room's material. What happens if you edit the wall layer?
-
Do your wall types include a "Paint Layer" ?

Chief has never handled track mounted garage doors correctly. The plan view has always been for the solid one piece door with the dooor in the closed position between the Jambs, not behing them. I sent in a suggestion about this about 4-5 years ago but I don't recall any response. I fake it by using a Doorway smaller that the actual garage door Invisible no-room definition wall inside the exterior wall then place the garage door in that invisible wall IOW the opening in the exterior wall is what's going to be built and the garage door is inserted in the invisible wall which is inside the garage. The tracks will then be basically inside the garage, not within the opening in the exterior wall. For rollup doors I use the same method.

Default sets include layersets. That should handle everything.

Do a library search for Engineered floor Joists & Trusses. There's a couple of Steel Web Trusses and a Wood Web Floor Truss that are top chord bearing. They're just CAD Blocks but they can be superimposed on cross sections.

I need help with stairs, winders specifically. X10 version.
Joe_Carrick replied to Michael_Lewis's topic in Tips & Techniques
FWIW, X10 is 8 years old and most users here are on X17. I think in X10 you would probably need to use manually created pie shaped landings to emulate the winders. You will need to adjust each landing's top elevation & thickness to get them all to connect with the stair sections As Jason said, questions and requests for assistance should be posted in the Q&A Forum. -
Click menu (3 dots) upper right on original post and then report. Then ask that it be moved to the Q&A Forum. I've already don that so it will be moved soon.

As a former California Hospital Architect, you need to: Make sure you are licensed to do this work Check with the Michigan and local codes for: occupancy class fire resistive requirements. Hospitals require much more stringent codes than other structures and I'm pretty sure anything built on or attached will have to conform to those codes. The may be additional state Hospital licensing codes & review. That is definitely true in California - I don't know about Michigan.

A.I. / LLM Good RENDERING Prompts - well maybe
Joe_Carrick replied to para-CAD's topic in General Q & A
What prompts did you use? I do notice some differences in the shingles and you specifice board an batt siding which wasn't my choice. BTW, the little pine trees planted that close to the structure is a really bad idea. They will grow and create all kinds of problems. -

That cabin was done in X4 and I no longer have the plan. However, I will go back to the original rendering and try some material options. I don't have the time right now but I can do it in a couple of days. -
It's most likely a problem with the text style for that layer. Check to see if the text color for that layer is "white"

Ok, so I tried ChatGPT with my A-Frame Cabin. Keep Architecture, Encance materials and Landscaping Add a few people on deck, change vehicle to a Mercedes GLK It's pretty amazing what a few simple instructions can do. -
Does anyone have a wire glass material ?
