Sorry Eric, You're correct. I phrased it wrong. Molding profile is correct. I have a lot of these for window lintels. I do remodels for homes that have this all the time.

I personally would do that by making a molding polyline. Once you add it to the window lintel, resize the window all you want....it will work just fine. If you want me to show you how to do it via Zoom, let me know. 832-754-6160.

If it is an island room, just create a new layer for that wall. Put the wall on that new layer and turn it off so it doesn't display in plan view.

I believe he's now okay using his dwg in his plan. Helped him via Zoom.

Yes, please let us know what you find out. I've never experienced this issue.

Very smart approach and is why I import this way too. I learned to do this a long time ago.

For some of the remodels I do here, The City of Houston sometimes requires this but it has to be done by a licensed electrician to be submitted.

I just got this laptop not too long ago and have no problems. See my specs below.

I personally would reconfigure one of the two structures or both to make the roof work easily or have a detached garage with a breezeway.

Sounds like a video card issue.

You could also use walls or even a slab. Kinda depends on the situation.

As Marc mentioned, if it's blocked, unblock it first. If it's not blocked and your multi-selecting text, try opening one text and see if you can edit it.

I just show a cad block in electrical plan. I don't use a 3D symbol for I'll never show it in a render.

This is what I always do and works just fine.

I've done this a lot with patios and carports that are free-standing. If I have troubles making Chief build it the way I want, I don't fight it (no time for that), I just do all posts and beams manually. Goes pretty quick.

As David commented, once you've built framing and then you make structural changes, you then have to rebuild framing again.

If your just wanting a door with 3 lites at the top. Make it. Just use a "glass panel" door type in the door dbx> raise the bottom up> add manual mullions.

This is how I always do it.

This issue has been around for a long time. Since I don't use the materials list, I've deleted the house wrap in all my exterior walls that call for it in my template plan.

That is correct. Manual dimension.

Yes it will.

The only other thing that's strange, is that I'm not having these issues with files that were recovered for X11, only X12.

Okay, I found the problem and it has nothing to do with "saved plan views" for I don't use them and saved plan views are always set to "none" for I don't use them. Here's what I have to do to fix this in certain plans and ('ll explain "certain plans" in a minute). In different working plans, when I send the plan view to the layout referencing the 2nd. floor, I have to open the viewport and tell it which floor to reference and not use the default setting of "automatic". It seems to reference different things in different plans so I have to open the viewport in the layout (different plans) and turn off stuff. Now that I know how to fix it, it's a quick fix. This is NOT a user error or a program error. I can open a new plan and layout and send the plan to the layout referencing the 2nd. floor and all is good. Here's what's happening. Last month, my laptop hard drive went bad and lost all my files. OMG, this was my worst nightmare for I was working on 3 very involved plans. Anyway, I did have a great computer tech recover my files. I bought a new laptop and reinstalled X10, X11, and X12. Apparently in the recovery of the files, something happened to the files that is messing up how the referencing is being transferred to the layout for it's different with different plans. Everything works fine when I do a new plan. I also noticed that a couple of the textures didn't recover right even though they should have but was an easy fix. So far, these are the only problems I've had with these recovered files. I'm so relieved that I at least got my files back!

Dermot, I don't use saved plan views. I will check this again later. Thank you.

Did anything happen in X12 when sending a plan view to layout with the 2nd. floor reference turned on? It's not working for me. I can get it to show right if I send it to layout as an image. Just tried it in X11 and the plan referencing the 2nd. floor sent just fine to the layout. (without sending it as an image). Am I missing something new in X12?
