I am not a fan of these... no matter the version. I just grab the grip on each one and pull it tight so its not as noticable.

@jacpdx I think DBC should get the "solution" nod....

Oops.. I see DBCooper already called this link out. Great minds I guess.

https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00344/modeling-a-subdivision-or-lot-with-multiple-structures.html This is what I used to make this subdivision...

If all else fails, try building it manually.

Are each one of these houses symbols? This is how I would have done this from the start, model the houses, have one of each style, turn them into blocks, then then bring them into your contoured lot plan. Adjust each one accordingly in their x, y, z. Obviously, you'll still need to learn the terrain tools to level areas out. Seems like a huge project that your learning on....

Ah man... wished this wasn't in the middle of the week. Orlando is 4 hours away, and too many things going on this week up here in Tally. Enjoy Florida.. maybe you'll be the next famous Californian to move here. Millionaire Row in Miami would suite you well.

Nvr mind... got it. and WOW. See you went with creating the second floor. Just calc'd, a full circle walk on the main floor is about 110'... 48 laps is a mile.

Which Chief version is this?

Yeah that's good. You can try sending via a zip file too, that's what most peeps do. More secure that way too, I believe, but I could be wrong. Be sure to be out of the file before you do either. I won't be on here much longer tonight, but others will.. and they all like challenges. I get that!

Floyd may have done it, but I remember Aerosmith doing it too. I was more of the 80's hair metal guy.. so Aerosmith would have been more in my brain than Floyd. After watching The Wall, never watched them again.. lol.. L-O-N-G time ago. Back to your roof.. yeah, I'd def make a second floor for that. That's nuts. Boy you stepped in with both feet on this huh. I may be asking you advice in due time when you master this.

What are you doing in the attic? If your adding rooms, etc, the easiest thing is just make it an official floor. This might bump up your roof (if you have it modeled), but you can bring that back down. BTW, your subject made me think I was going to hear an old Aerosmith song! :-)

Hello INH You can disable the attic walls, and delete them and their phantoms. Go to you defaults, then to Walls, then to General Wall... uncheck "Auto Rebuild Attic Walls". Then you can go delete those phantoms. But keep in mind, there is a reason there are phantoms, the software thinks a attic wall is supposed to be there for whatever reason. I wouldn't just go crazy and deleting these walls without a good check. Tread this road lightly especially since your new here.

As Joe has stated.. 99% of your time will be in the model, but to answer your question, it tracts them separately. Keep in mind, if you have them both open, time will be charging to both (I believe) even though you can only work in one at a time.

I had no idea what the title should be.. What I am asking is when we have multiple windows side by side, framed individually, what determines the casing material in-between? I have a brick wall (both sides), and I want 6" in-between windows, but since the wall is brick, I get brick casing on two of my windows, the third is what I want. Even adjusting to 4", I get the same result. Exterior is visa-versa.. so.. I'm a little confused. Thanks,
