Looks to me like a first floor Roof Soffit or Shadow Board or Gutter, etc. IAE. Post the Plan!!!!!!

No, but this has been repeatedly asked for as an enhancement to Chief.

Mike, I've done that Barrel Sauna previously in Chief basically the same way Rich did. It's not going to use Chief Walls, Doors & Windows. Since you know how to use SketchUp, you might want to consider doing it in SU and just importing it into Chief as a Symbol.

Turn on the Wall Labels Layer. Also make sure that you have the Wall Label defined in the dbx

Something like this? But of course the better solution would be with consistent riser heights and varied tread depths.

Just a CAD Box with Fill (solid or xhatch) - and maybe a hole.

Scott's right. You can specify a pattern/fill for cabinets, countertops and some other items, but those only works in Plan View. For those things I generally use a "Mask" in Sections.

Auto Detail should do this, based on the pattern (not texture) specified for the material.

Are you looking at Interior Dimensions or Temporary Dimensions? There are separate Defaults for both.

Buzz, That's not true. You just need to pick the one that applies.

The danger in resetting the toolbars is that you will lose any customization. In my case that's a disaster.

Most likely, the Edit Toolbar got moved. Right Click on the Object. A context menu will appear, but the Edit Toolbar should also appear someplace. Grab it by it's handle (a little line of dots) and drag it down to dock it at the bottom of the screen.

Johnny, See post #2 for the graphics and post #4 for the annotation.

Just to clarify what Joey said: It's in the "Global>Room Info" section of the macro selection.

macros can be inserted into the room label to show finish material

I use the Room Polyline or a Floor Material Region. It depends on the job, but either of these will work.

It makes it look correct in the Plan View.

I would think it might be dependent on the USB. Older ports didn't have nearly the speed of newer ones. There might also be a restriction depending on the anti-virus settings.

I would use a "Wall Material Region". For the continuous sill and lintel probably a Molding Polyline.

Here's a link to a lot of pics. https://www.google.com/search?q=skirl+siding&rlz=1C1AVNA_enUS590US607&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=995&tbm=isch&imgil=g8ExK6UGAjAU3M%253A%253BA06KAd3crPb5ZM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.bridgerforestproducts.com%25252Four-products%25252Fsiding%25252Fexterior-siding%25252Fhaida-skirl-siding&source=iu&pf=m&fir=g8ExK6UGAjAU3M%253A%252CA06KAd3crPb5ZM%252C_&usg=__s1YevERo8m_SqB7WoFZmV9VOvLo%3D&ved=0CEIQyjdqFQoTCPHs5qXuosgCFUyagAodrCMFxQ&ei=JfwNVrHGOMy0ggSsx5SoDA#imgrc=g8ExK6UGAjAU3M%3A&usg=__s1YevERo8m_SqB7WoFZmV9VOvLo%3D

Dan, "Flitches" is the term used basically for the small pieces left after the board are trimmed square. For siding the term is "Skirl"

It's very interesting to me that there's anyone that hasn't seen this. It's been done this way for as long as I can remember. In fact, if you look at a full Stem Wall Foundation detail you will find a similar condition - but on both sides of the wall. The Footing itself is wider than the Stem Wall. It really doesn't matter how it's done - the reality is that the Stem Wall portion of the foundation is almost never as wide as the footing..
