  2. Hello all - Been away from Chief for a few years, but now getting back into it. I had v10 on an XP machine, but have a newer computer and now onto X7. Some things change, some not so much. As I'm finding the new things, I am liking them. One of the nice things is elevations in layout don't seem to have a bunch of extraneous lines to clean up, like in v10. That's was always a time killer for sure. That being said, Chief still has it's quirks, so I've got some new ones to figure a way through or around I'm sure it's me not doing something right (right being defined as exactly how Chief wants it, that is). I have generated a basement foundation from the 1st floor, and it behaves ok, but when I draw interior walls for rooms (and yes, I checked the structure settings), they extend up into the first floor area, even though there is a floor there. I also assigned the basement a "utility" designation before drawing the interior walls so it knows it's a "room". Seems like dividing the area up with interior walls would key from the room designation and structure settings. Having a hard time figuring why the walls are projecting up like that. The second thing related to the basement is one wall will be fully exposed with a french door out to a lower patio area. I need to show that as a framed wall rather than block. When I change the wall type from what was generated, it leaves a small horizontal gap (a few inches) between the top of that wall and the bottom of the one above in 3D and elevation views. F12 didn't help. Not sure what's going on, but I remember not to be pulling walls up or down in elevation view. I'm sure that hasn't changed. Anyway, glad to be back and looking forward to ramping up with X7.
