You will need to delete the Base Molding from the room created by the shower and unfortunately likely also the rest of the bathroom. However you can create a manual room molding polyline for the bathroom and manually edit which walls it goes on.

Hi Pedro, Your main floor will frame in the 07 30 version of the plan by just making sure all walls have the "Retain Wall Framing" setting turned off. The wall Framing material that Mick mentioned appears to be ok in the walls I checked.

In Premier there is a Glass Shower Wall that is just a Main Layer of 1/2" Glass I think. If not maybe I made it but it is real simple. This will allow you to place a hinged slab door in the wall and you just need to adjust the thickness and turn off the casing then make the door glass. You will also have control of the hardware in the door DBX. Not sure if it all works the same in Interiors.

As I posted above both rows of brick need to be in the "Main Layer". I assume you are in a very warm climate and never have to deal with frost with this type of foundation design ? Your main floor walls are set to "Retain Wall Framing" which will retain a non framing condition if this is set before framing.

I thought the stock "Lap (knottycedar) Siding in the Core Catalog was pretty good and have captured segments of it for use in other material layup styles. But am also looking for more.

Yes it looks as though you are making progress. You just need to decide if it is replacing the sub-fascia or going in front of it as a fascia. Then turn on Framing Roof Rafters layer in Camera View or better yet put them on a Fascias-Custom Layer and turn that on.

Frame your roof and go to a plan view that has the rafters turned on. Make a copy of a standard rafter and move it over to the position of the fascia. Resize for length or width and depth as necessary and make sure Automatic Rafter height is on or things will get out of wack. A profile can also be applied if necessary.

There also seems to be a strange artifact in circle 1 under the fascia board but you would likely need to post the plan file for someone to diagnose that if you are unable to select and fix it yourself.

You just need a really good photo and make it seamless in a photo editor then import to chief as material and apply.

Chief seems to have an issue with your setup of the foundation wall. Try resetting it to this : And then give your exterior walls room definition and auto build the foundation. Not sure if it will fix all the problems but I think it will help a lot.

You can only set one pitch in roof defaults, so if you want an auto roof that has more than one pitch you must use wall roof pitch settings. Otherwise I am not sure there would be any use for wall roof pitch settings at all. Roof pitch defaults only set the pitch for walls that are set to default. There may be a better way but having the roof pitch default override the wall roof pitch settings is not it.

I am not sure what the issue is unless you are saying you did not set the wall to 4/12. If so then I see the issue. And yes as Glenn has made the correction the baseline should be at the outside surface of framing ( main layer ). Not sure this has ever happened to me, but if it is for you then good catch and I hope CA can get it fixed. Can't seem to reproduce following your steps. Are you sure your template plan is not corrupted ?

In my neck of the woods the city building department wants to see the truss engineering for review before issuing the permit. So sometimes the owner has not decided on a contractor at that point and I send in the drawings for truss engineering often or sometime just as a service for the contractor. If it works that way in Cali then maybe you can blame them for issuing the permit with the wrong truss engineering. But good luck with that.

Whoever was responsible for reviewing the truss calcs before placing the truss order would be responsible I would think. Have a great bonfire.

Yes the time tracker in Chief is per file. You can look at 3rd party trackers if you want a more general approach.

Post a sample plan file so we can figure out if it is a Mac issue or maybe something else that is specific to your computer or Preferences.

Assuming that the screen shot you posted is of a door that is wider and shorter than the symbol you created you will need to set up vertical and horizontal stretch zones. Place a similar door from the Core Catalog into your plan and take a look at the Symbol Sizing setup and you will see how it is done.

Yes. Preferences > Architectural > Opening Appearance I like your system better by the way.

I thought that may have been a little too easy. Preferences > Appearance > Display > Color Off is: "Grayscale" Or print PDF in colour and then from that print with print driver in Black & White ( Grayscale ) which is what I do so you have a nice digital presentation even if color printing is not an option.

Mine are green but you can have them any colour you like by changing the line colour for the Plants layer.

It would seem that you are now using X10 and you signature needs to be updated. It would be great if you could record that sequencing and send it in to tech support. How do you know where to select an item on an unchecked layer or is it just that you are clicking in an area that an item would be if it was turned on ?

Thanks Taylor. That helps with my understanding.

That actually sounds like progress as it used to be a square door in a arched frame.

There is a slight offset issue. Can you see It ? Not really fair to the handicapped is it. Don't be confused as this is a serious issue with several other threads that Rob and I and many others have participated in. Kinda disappointed to see Rob loosing points bringing attention to a serious problem and providing a useful solution. It seems chief has a lot of these types of problems to fix but until the complaint quota is reached nothing appears to happen.
