Create it in sketchup then import it into chief as a symbol..........but you need EXACT sizes, pitch, and dimensions to make sketchup useful in this instance. Loom is cool. https://www.loom.com/share/eebe1a80e68f48e4932879d46a4eecb1

Most called windows are actually ½" smaller both ways than called (48" x 36" is 47 ½" x 35 ½") and the R/O actually is 4-0/3-0 Anderson has some custom sizes....always refer people to the vender literature....

If X18 is featuring files existing on a CA cloud service....I could see an increased charge for that. I hope it's optional, because I like Dropbox.

I’m heading into town so I won’t be able to solve this for you for a couple hours.

Post production video editing - yes. During, probably, but timing and transitions might be hit or miss.

DWG exported from Chief.........sure. It's a mess but NEVER the chief files.

If you can find a way to share the link to your file where I can download it, I will open it and sketch up and send you back views that can be traced in chief.

Rene You are a doer. Never stop. Keep rockin! Most people never push themselves hard. I imagine some people are evious of your mastery of digital design. Some people are sad little minions. Its fun to see whatever you share in your journey to excel in your craft. Thanks on behalf of all the people you have helped.

"Permit-Ready" is fully dependent on your AHJ (location)

Rene could build you a custom cabinet.

You don't need on-site You need John Schrader or Dan Baumann. https://www.imagine-drafting.com or https://www.chiefexperts.com

This works here in W. WA state.

I have it turned on automatically for any time I’m working on a chief architect file. I use different time trackers, like Clockify, when using other apps for me, I export it into an Excel spreadsheet where I can total all the times in a column and assign a value per time (rate of $/hr)

You might have to readjust your walls so that you can make a great looking roof line and not what you have currently.

No problems other than Allow Full Disk Access during installation.

Dell owns Alienware If you earn a living from the computer (TOOL) then have one built. Puget Systems is great. It's still great for my wife's business.

I paid Alaskan Son to create the superscript option. He was fast and reasonable. It takes a modified font that he provides, I chose modified ARIAL. Then I set all my font type to ARIAL and the window and door openings to the modified ARIAL. Rene also provides this, I don't know if it is only in his plan template or can be sold as an individual item.

You can reposition the order in the schedule. The first column allows you to drag up or down and the label updates in the plan. I don't know about floor zero numbering.

Trusses are engineered by their design software. If this is stick framed with a structural (curved) ridge for a cathedral look..................it's all do-able but the cost just went up. Not just bending roof plywood or 1x8s, but the interior ceiling surfaces all have to be curved (unless flat ceilings) Crazy fun. If they have the $$$ and desire.......go for it!

Bob will be alnong soon. He seems pretty helpful.

I don’t use chief architects project management system. But yesterday I took all of my archived files which were in dropbox and moved them to two separate external drives so that I could minimize my 380 GB Dropbox folder. I had almost all of that archived set to online only, but I realized, why am I keeping these archived copies from X7 forward? I still don’t understand their project management enough that I would trust using it but some of you have been very successful with it so maybe one day I will take the plunge

Gene speaks truth. i would pass on framing that. Without flat roof planes, it won’t be able to be prescriptively designed and wait till you get the bill from a structural engineer. maybe they could 3-D print it out of a large scale plastic printer and just crane it into place

That's called a prow over here
