WHEN DO YOU NEED THIS?

I use the one in the Library and just place it? There are two sizes there? Never thought of using a window and changing the materail ?

Did you get this resolved? Other than painting the wall I have never seen this happen. Put a break in the wall at the intersection of the shower wall and the room wall try that. If that does not work try re-drawing the rear wall or check to see if you drew 2 walls at the same place as the shower wall. The only other thing I can think of is the railing height?

Ok what are we talking about?

I am doing a story and a half addition with a staircase in the rear corner of the addition. Chief balloon frames the walls around the auto generated stairwell. My Exterior walls are 2"x 6" 16" O.C which is more than enough beef to hang the stairs on. I do not want to balloon frame these walls. I tried breaking these walls and doing a frame rebuild to no avail. I want to run plates on top and bottom and rim and band just like the normal floor platform. There is nothing structurally wrong with the way chief generates it but it is a lot stronger to frame it the way I want. Instead of using open below I tried using a poly-line and cutting a hole in the floor platform but that is tedious for sure and almost impossible to get everything to line up. if I spent hours I could re-frame in 3D frame view but that does not even show up when you do a frame section of the wall. Any suggestions anyone.?

THANKS: GUYS. I HAVE DONE THE CAD MASK THING BEFORE I WILL STICK TO THAT.

ANY WAY TO BREAK A LAYOUT BOX BORDER?

Does anyone have a detail of how a deck connects to web floor truss.

I make my own and add macros. Its as fast as adding from a list plus you can control font ect...

but it does now go figure?

-unchecking post to rail did not work.

Maybe the way I did it was the best way?

In order to change newel height on deck railing, I had to convert to panel change height of newel I picked from library and then convert back to balusters. The only dbx I found that had the check box for railing passes over newel was in the stair dbx. anyone have an easier way to simply change newel hgt so railing is in between and not over the top of newels?

Hey Guys: My business is swamped right now and I need help with a couple projects. The first thing I need help with is to duplicate a set of plans for a client.

Things Quickly

I have never experienced but siding and drywall is turned off in floor plan . How do I get it back on walls display. . Its late and I tried to read old threads about it. I feel retarded right now because I usually can figure out hings quickly.

Listen to Joey Martin on this one he is the God of Con Docs

Yes we all are in competition in some sense. With that said I have given out help and have gotten some really good help on here. If you do not live within a hundred miles from me Ill help you. I am just saying...I do have a little public servant animosity though...

Ok folks you are confusing the hell out of me. I have windows 8.1 and I have x6 version 10 I am guessing . I have no problems should I? Should I try to make some? If version 10 does not install on 8.1 why did it for me. I get an ocassional crash . Should I go back to the cob webs of history and be using an outdated version of wimdows?

Does anyone out there have a copy of the Building Code Summary in DWG or maybe typed out in Chief... I am willing to pay.

Has anyone out there purchased the Architectural symbols library from Chief Symbols and is it worth the $300 dollars

Politics you gotta love it.
