Or if you want to keep things automated you can create a "Roof Baseline Polyline" and edit that.

You can post a zip file for Glenn or a simplified version of your plan the exhibits the same issue. I can't get a logical setting to work though so my solution would be to use "Extend Slope Downwards" and then edit the roof polyline and don't leave any extra nodes.

Ooops.. I just tried that and it did not work the way I expected it to. You may need to manually adjust the roof polyline.

Try adjusting the roof overhang in the Roof tab of the Wall DBX.

Very nice, great work. Thanks for sharing.

A little more East than West. And definitely not the usual. I think we simply skipped spring all together. Heat one week and AC the next.

Try Plan View Scale Mike. See if that helps.

Sorry I don't have a Mac but it should be the same I would think ?

Sorry you might be correct. My signature is actually current. It is just me that is currently out of date. The op was asking about x12 but if it does not work in x15 send it in by all means.

That is a preference setting. Appearance > Display > Images and Pictures: > "Display in Color when Possible"

Yes it does work for images in layout at least as far back as x8. Just as DB describes. However it did get broken at some point and has since been fixed.

Sure. ALDO > Cabinets, Soffits > Line Style:

Soffits can work depending on the situation.

Thanks Michael. I was starting to think no one understood my response. My thinking on the snaps was to lock the perimeter to to the snap grid and have a visual reference that things were aligned.

In Terrain Specifications > General turn off " Hide Terrain Intersected by Building". Then let us know what version you are using as you will need to delete the "grass" from the basement afterwards.

Maybe you could update your signature and add your computer specifications to it ? If you open up task manager while the process is running you will see what components of your system are being stressed. If you are running windows anyway ? Most likely a CPU and HD bottleneck but not exactly sure.

Short answer is no. I have found the best way to reproduce that effect is to use polyline hatching so you have control of the spacing and line style etc. Just be sure to have grid snaps on when you place the perimeter.

Hi Buzz, Give this a try..... %custom_fields["Assembly"]%

Be sure that all enclosing walls are not marked as " No Room Definition ". Also the Room Type dropdown is gray but you can still use it. Maybe post a couple of screen shots of your dialog boxes and your plan view and let us know what version you are using.

I don't have time to look at the file at the moment but you have a "flyer" of some sort that got away from you to some outer region. Try using the fill screen tool in plan view and see if the same thing happens and search the outer boundaries for the rogue item.

You can post suggestions in the suggestion forum. Be sure to include a use case as there may be some extra things to do besides creating the schedule. Standard, custom ? This can be deleted after that is done.

Not that it can't be done in Chief Architect because a skilled user can do amazing things with this software but Chief is set up for stick framed residential design work primarily. You are in for a pretty challenging first build. Fortunately there are many discussions on Barndominiums that have been archived and you can search them out here on the forum. I would suggest you read as much as you can.

All true. However she did state that the details were group selected and then "hit the cad block button" so that is on the active toolbar and does not even appear unless there is a suitable selection. Something else is going on here for sure. Computer specifications are unlikely the issue but could possibly come into play here. M$ vs. Mac etc.

Does it depend on how may objects you select ? Not that it should make any difference but there are quite a few there.
