  1. Does an Accessory Structure such as an Equipment Storage Building have to be provided with electricity?
  2. Patrick, What are you actually trying to do? What information do you want to add to a Schedule and what would it look like?
  3. Just be aware that precast panels are typically custom per job. You would need an engineer to design them in any event and Chief doesn't do the detailing of rebar, etc. From a design standpoint there are several ways of representing them in Chief. One way is to just use a concrete wall and add joints. Another way would be to use a "transparent wall" and place solid panels within the confines of those walls. However, as I stated above the engineering details are not going to be automatic. Have you actually seen a "Professionally Drawn Library" of precast concrete panels?
  4. Set the Arch to "Dog Ear". The adjust the size as needed.
  5. I think it's a setting "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom" or similar. You will likely need to frame the walls also to get it to work correctly. I don't have time to study it right now but maybe someone else will chime in.
  6. Obviously, you can use (2) 180 degree curverd walls to complete the circle. Can you explain how they are "messing you up"?
  7. Select the mulled unit and then "Tab" until you have the door. You can then edit it to remove the Sill.
  8. You will need to "TAB" to the "Door".
  9. It's pretty much trial and error. I would do it as follows: Make sure the two side-lights are exactly the same height as the door Mull those three together - maybe without casings Make sure the transom is exactly the same width as the result from step 2 Mull those two together - again, maybe without casings Add Casings to the final mulled unit Basically, I don't like the way Chief handles mulled units with casing on individual parts. I find it's usually better to just add the casings, etc to the final mulled object.
  10. Why not just apply that pic as the material for an jack outlet. It's really not necessary to completely model the outlet.
  11. If you are wanting to show the entire solar tube, you would need to use 3 parts: round roof mounted skylight cylinder for tube ceiling lens Chief doesn't put these things together as a unit. It would be nice if they did but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Typically I just show the 1st and 3rd items and provide notes on the roof and floor plans. Sometimes I might include a detail but usually it's not needed.
  12. Is this a "Floor Overview"? That type of Camera is just looking in from the top and doesn't show anything above the top of the walls. You need to use a "Full Camera" in order to see the Ceiling.
  13. Then just show where the outlets are to be located. I don't provide separate plumbing plans, just where the fixtures, gas outlets, hose bibs and shut-off valves are to be located. Generally I do this on the Floor plans. Site plans for the service piping like Joey said.
  14. I've done them using a special wall type that inclusde chinking and then stacking log symbols. It works just like the actual construction. It's not as easy as normal walls with siding but the results are 100% accurate for any milled logs (round, square or "D")
  15. Does anyone have a typical section detail for Leach Lines showing required depth, gravel, etc. ?
  16. Doug, Are you using frameless or face frame cabinets? I don't think you can specify the thicknesses for face frame cabinets.
  17. I recall someone had posted a link to a service that would create a "Site Plan" for existing property. Does anyone know where that thread is?
  18. FWIW, you will need to have a king post & header above the doorway to support the beam. Check with your engineer.
  19. I store my Chief projects and Data files in Dropbox on 3 computers. I have Chief (one license) installed on those 3 computers. This is IMO the most logical solution.
  20. May either the FORCE or the FARCE be with you.
  21. Did you search the Library for "Claw Foot" ?
  22. Rich will tell you that the Roswell crash was a "Weather Balloon" and our technology is a figment of our imagination.
