Roll back to your previous driver version that worked and let tech support sort out the issue. Relax and have a great Christmas.

Very nice work. Those doors look good and thick and sound proof.

You can tint glass whatever color you like.

No sorry it does not work that way. However polylines are a great way to quickly check sq ft.

Something like this:

This really belongs in General Q&A but I believe rafter tails will only work on one end of a roof rafter or roof beam. If that does not suit the project just draw your p-solid in elevation view and profile the end just the way you need it and multi copy.

Vector view would fix that problem.

If you use a couple of extra attic walls as cad patches it is almost stable but it definitely could use a little help from the Chief.

You may have a duplicate wall in play there but hard to be sure without looking at the file.

Thanks Gene, That was just a quick demo but I knew something seemed a bit off. See Revised.

If you want it to show correctly in plan view use a p-solid with solid fill.

If this looks any better give these setting a try or go to medium if you have a faster computer than I do. Linear was giving you the issues. Also there is way more elevation data than chief likes to handle and I would guess your surveyor did not actually take over 5000 measurements unless he used a scanner which from the PDF it appears he did not. I would try working with less of the data as it would appear that most of the data is computer generated and not measured. Chief would likely come up with something close to what your surveyors program did with using the measured data. Not enough time to actually look at the .dwg right now but check and see if the elevation points are there.

Revit, or Revit trial version. Also possible in Archicad. Possibly someone here will be willing to do it for you.

You can also turn off the ones you will never use in defaults or pull them off if it is just a particular view you are concerned about. Nice job on the foundation walls Joey.

Awesome. Thanks Joe. Have you contacted Chief directly or put something into Suggestions ?

Is that something that you might be able to include ? Chief may take the offer more seriously then for profile generation.

That would be great Joe since not every Wide Flange steel beam has 1/4" flanges and webs. LOL Proper section views are really important on engineered drawings.

You will need a dividing wall between what looks to be the entrance and living room. Mark it as "Full Gable" and then put the living area on the right on to "Roof Group" 1. It should then mostly auto roof for you.

I am not sure that was the original reason but I totally agree and have use them that way as well.

If it helps I have some joist direction lines that are just cad blocks to help the drawing look complete that don't interfere with the framing. I can't remember how bad the screw up was that made me create them but I am pretty sure tech support did not have a better answer at the time.

Check your labels text style and see if it is set to "Rotate with Plan". Sounds like you should have it deselected.

I was just messing around to figure out the issue and reframed the kitchen wall with no deck in sight ? It makes no sense to me unless chief is remembering a deck.

I already deleted the file but I don't remember seeing a deck anywhere. ?

Yes "Automatically Build Wall Framing" is turned on in the New plan file so when the walls rebuild all the new studs end up on the Framing, Wall layer which destroys all of your custom work. So somehow that was turned on ?? It will need to be off or each wall set to "Retain Wall Framing" when you do any manual work on it. I think there was a recent request for that to happen auto magically if it is something that you have difficulty remembering to do that. Also got an odd warning while exploring in the kitchen area that may be causing issues.

Yes once you have grabbed them... Put them back on the layer they were supposed to be on. If you can reproduce how they jumped off that layer send it into tech support so they can fix it, since that would be the most annoying thing to just happen. Check to be sure auto frame is off before sending to tech though.
