How would you build a raised concrete deck? The builder I work for uses this instead of a regular deck. I'm trying to figure out the best way to build this. How would you build this? I was going to use the slab tools, but if there was an easier way, I'm all ears!

4hotshoez, So if i'm understanding this correctly, you would like a video or explanation on how to control the foundations/footings using the dialogue boxes? A step by step on how to control the settings in these boxes?

I have had problems with arched brick ever since I started using this software. A video would be nice! LOL Just my .02 cents

I read this while eating Nachos and drinking a Coca Cola... I need to start cooking more of her recipes. LOL

That did it. Thank you very much for your time!

I have a gap between the bottom of the roof plain and the soffit. Any Ideas? Can't seem to get it straightened out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Roof Test No. 2.zip

X7 appeared in my digital locker last night around 11pm EST. I downloaded it and had to enter the product key 8 times before the "Activate" option would become select-able. After it finally activated the only bug I could find in the program was when I drew a square polyline and made it's fill a transparent hatch, I tried to "un-select" it but it was still grayed out. I restarted the program and everything was peachy! Loving X7 so far. although the stairs tool wasn't fixed, I'm pleased with this release. =] <----Happy Camper!

Curt, I believe around 18-20. I normally set them up and let them cook... While I cook. Lol

My renders never turn out that great, but hey at least I try. LOL Here are a few...

I have an Asus G75V gaming laptop and Chief sails smoothly on it. It's two or three years old now and gets hot enough to fry an egg on, but I bought a cooling pad in hopes that will give me at least one more year out of it. LOL

It drives me crazy that they are so hush-hush! However, when they finally do release it, it always feels like Christmas to me =] It's worth the wait I guess! LOL

Well it's about time! LOL

Lol! You hit the nail on the head! We're only human! Everyone has flaws...just like this program. LOL Nothing's always perfect.

Wow, this thread has really gone from the excitement of a sneak peak, to a whole new level. I had to turn off email notifications from it. LOL I understand that some of you are frustrated with the program, however I am very grateful that I have this program and I really appreciate all the work they put into this software. I make a living off this software and it took me many years to learn it. I'm not going to lie, I still don't know a lot. Foundations are a headache for me as well as layouts. Other than that I kinda have it down. If I worked for Chief and I read this post, it'd make me feel like I wasn't doing a good job. I appreciate all you guys do for us, and I greatly appreciate a lot of the users that help everyone out on this forum as well. A little off topic here. I was on Chief's Facebook page and read some comments that a user had left on a status of Chiefs. I believe Allen Brown even commented on that post and tried to set that gentleman strait. Lord knows he needed it. The gentleman made it seem like Chief was the worst program he had ever come across in his entire life. I couldn't believe the sass that guy gave. LOL No one is holding a gun to our head and forcing you to use this software. Good grief fella. Ya'll have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Just my two cents.! LOL

You and I both! I'm extremely impatient.

Oh snap I posted this in the chat room. I'm excited for this new feature!

Sound effects. Now that would be interesting! LOL +1
