Thank you DB! That is exactly what it was! Not sure how it got unchecked. And yes, apologies. I always forget to update my signature when I upgrade my versions. And Ryan, good advice! BTW...your videos have been a MAJOR part of my learning Chief over the last 9 years. I am self taught and could have never been successful without the generosity of you and others that share your videos on troubleshooting, issues and general helpful information. Thank you very much for your work!!

This is a new one for me? I no longer have a search option in my library? Not sure where it went...

Thanks Eric! I'll give that a shot.

Thank you. I'm able to designate what openings get dimensioned and how. I'm just not able to pick up exterior walls without picking up interior walls as well. I'm trying to just get my window centerline dimensions from the corner of my perimeter wall without picking up the interior walls as well. I haven't found anywhere to make that adjustment. Thanks for your reply and assistance.

Hi guys. Chief x12 user, been at it a while but still consider myself a beginner. Is there a way to draw centerline dimensions on the exterior and only pick up perimeter walls and center of window openings without picking up the interior walls into the dimension line? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Yoda. I updated my signature. I posted that I was using Chief Architect 9, I should have been more specific. I usually upload my plan but my 2nd floor was blank so I was more interested if anyone was familiar with that error code since there was nothing in Knowledge base. Thanks for your input. I truly respect and appreciate all of the users that are willing to help, especially being a rookie user. I just felt that "Signatures" comment brought nothing positive to the conversation and I guess I just felt it was unnecessary. Hopefully someday as I get better at this I'll be able to offer help to new users as well. Thanks again for your input, it is truly appreciated.

Thank you Eric! I honestly had no idea there was a difference between x9 and version 9. I do appreciate your help very much. I updated my signature.

Thanks everyone for the positive input and help! I greatly appreciate it. I deleted my 1st floor walls around my stairs and it fixed the problem. Then I was able to just draw them back in. To the Signature comment.....I explained in my post I was using version 9. I don't use forum often and apparently forgot to update my version in my signature. Thank you for pointing that out but the others were able to suggest input without a problem. Not sure why you felt the need to comment.

TROLL

Thank you!

Hey guys. I'm using Chief Architect version 9. I just got and error message that says "Could not connect new stairwell railings to some of the existing walls or railings, so could not make the open stairwell room." I've never seen this error before and there isn't anything in the knowledge base? Wasn't sure if anyone has seen this. At this point I have a blank 2nd floor and my cross section looks fine as far as stair height.

AHA!!! Thank you kind sir!!

I changed the color of my deck posts etc. Received the warning of changing deck materials. Now when I try to move my deck railing, only the railing moves and the deck underneath stays put. I deleted all the decking and drew it again, now I just get railing with no deck. I know there is a check in a box somewhere to fix but have had no luck. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Chief 9 semi rookie user.

Thank you. I was afraid of that. I searched all of the threads and found nothing. It would be nice if we could just lock our temporary dims where we want them. Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to edit what auto dimensions locate? I'd like to use the tool but don't need so many dimensions on my plan. I just want the important ones. Otherwise the plan gets overrun with dimensions.
