What version of Chief are you using x17 and the complete StreamDeck XL setup for Chief

I'm currently selling it for $275.00

I accept payment via my Venmo account Joseph-Carrick-6

  - Once I've received payment I will need a couple of days to put the package together and email it to you.

What do you want ?

• the set of icons for Chief    $50.00
• my complete StreamDeck XL setup for Chief    $275.00

What version of Chief are you using

In California (CRC) a guardrail has to be a minimum of 42" if the floor surface is more than 30" above grade.

Evidently the IRC requires only 36".

Evidently this only happens on a Mac - and then only under certain conditions. 

I'm not seeing this problem.  What rendering mode are you using?  What LayerSet?

I think it should be built exactly as the search attributes editor window is built

Not sure what that means exactly.  IAE, it's up to Chief to figure it out.

IMNSHO there should be some other options to update the macros 

IOW,provide 3 options:

• replace macros in the library item with macros in the plan
• replace macros the plan with macros in the library item
• don't change either

I know about @Renerabbittmethod but it's often not that simple.  Having 3 choices provided by chief would make it so much easier.

FWIW, this is simply a matter of the Room Name assignment.  You can edit the name in Room Types and the Room Labels will be changed in both plans & schedules automatically.

Chief has only a fixed number of  Room Functions.  

You can have as many Room Types aka Room Names as you want. 

Those each have their own set of Defaults and will automatically be created/modified accordingly as long as "Use Defaults" is selected. 

ps:  I'm somewhat of a dinosaur and prefer the older names.  I don't consider the word Master to be prejorative, sexist or racist but if you want to be PC all you need to do is modify the names (in existing plans and/or in plan templates).

How do you do that in your post ?  

Can you use a custom Millwork Symbol, Mounts on Wall ?

Set a stretch plane at the center of the width.  You can then size it to whatever you need.

Use a Lintle as the board the track mounts to.

That is what I thought, but for some reason I don't see a color listed.  

Maybe it was never added to the Wall.

Select the Wall and open the dialog.  Then select the materials tab

Put a 1/16" thick interior & exterior layer in the wall type.

or specify a wall covering in the room.

Then select the paint color from one of the paing catalogs as the material

Single family residences don't usually have to comply with ADA requirements.  That said, a clear space in a bathroom for wheel chair access should be at least 36"x48" and not be impeded by a door swing.  It should provide that clear space in front of all fixtures when the door is closed.  

The general principle is to allow a wheelchair to enter the bathroom, close the door and manuever to all fixtures so as to use them.

If that was my hourly rate my kids would not have shoes.

My grandkids have to buy their own shoes. OTOH, you just need to bill for more hours.  

IAE, I bill by the sq ft --- which depends on the type of project.

This a typo? Missing a couple of zeros? 

 

 

My exact thought.  unless it's my hourly rate

Budget & Timeline:

• Budget: $100 Flat (Fixed Price).

• Timeline: Maximum 5 Days from kickoff.

You've got to be kidding.  

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.

Hi Jonathan, 

 

The Default Sets option does do some of the elements of what I am after, but it doesn't allow me to set the default layer for the elevations or specific clippings, etc.  If what I was after isn't feasible, it's definitely a "halfway" bridge.  Was just trying to get everything in one pop.  :-)

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.

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.
