Check your Layer Set to make sure it's set to display that layer

Two possible ways to do this: Change the Ceiling Finish to include an "Air Gap" and "2x4 Framing" as Larry indicated Add a "Ceiling Plane" at the height desired. Either works and won't effect the floor above.

Sorry, I'm so used to writing the conditional on a single line.

It isn't the referenced layer, it's the referenced object. The first line established what object to examine. If there's a connection (ie: referenced ? is true) then the connected (referenced) object is examined and its layer is displayed. Otherwise, the owner (text or note) is examined and its layer is displayed. Very simply, that first line determines what object is going to be reported. obj is the object because the first line set it either as the referenced object or the owner object. That 1st line could have been written: if referenced ? obj=referenced else obj=owner end

What do you mean by referenced? Do you mean the note or text is connected to an object with an arrow? if so, try this: referenced ? obj=referenced : obj=owner obj.layer.to_s If there's no connection it will return the layer of the text or note as a text string.

I believe he would have had to create the panel separately from the bead edge and assign different materials. They are 2 different objects each with their own material. I suspect that the bead edge is a molding polyline.

Wall Detail is the place to do it.

You will need to edit the "Wall Detail". I do that for Garage Door Openings using Simpson StrongWall. Personally, I might also include that pdf in the Layout. Chief is not going to do everything exactly as you want - or per code. We have to use our talents to do that when Chief isn't quite up to the task.

Just hi-lite the text you want to reply to and select "quote selection"

I actually have a macro that does that for Jack Studs. King Studs would be fairly easy to add. However, you must note that the code rules (table) for King Studs is limited to walls that are less than 10'. Anything more than that would require engineering calculations for wind loading.

Thanks Bob. I'll add that to my boiler plate for Braced Wall Lines.

You might also try using a WALL TYPE that has a layer of 2x1 framing on the outside. It will actually add a level of realism.

Thanks Perry. I'm pretty sure it could be circumvented by structural calcs - but not worth the time. Do you know of any sources for such square washers? I haven't been able to find them in HD or Lowes.

The IRC R602.11.1 requires 3"x3"x1/4" square washers in addition to the standard washers for anchor bolts with "Braced Wall Lines" in Seismic zones "D" This seems to be a new requirement in the 2019 IRC. Actually, I'm using the CRC (California Version of the IRC). Has anyone found an exception to this code requirement?

Yep, it's always 2 separate schedules.

If you just want to eliminate the baseboard but keep any other moldings you would need to create a Room Molding Polyline for that molding and then select the Edit Toolbar Icon "No Molding on Selected Edge"

Alan, Normally I use the worst case. But if there's a substantial difference (more than 4" of depth I'll customize. Using I-Joists is a better solution than dimensional lumber for anything more than 2x8's

Assuming that you mean you saved the plan file with a new name ---- you need to open the layout file and "relink" to the new plan.

If you save it as a separate plan, you should be able to copy and paste it to any other plan.

Why are you building them as "framed"?

X9 is almost 5 years old. Even if you post the plan it may be difficult for anyone to diagnose.

The other possibility would have been to make sure the "main" layer was also "foundation" layer.

Without having a complete list of all equipment (with loads) as well as the number and amperage of circuits this wouldn't be possible. It could be done - but only with customized electrical symbols, etc. I find it's easier to let the Electrician or Electrical Engineer work it out. For most residential projects I just specify the appropriate panel size.
