This was what I was talking about.. This was a response to another user... Exactly and I figured it out. The edit snap properties(intersections) in preferences randomly gets unchecked constantly and I don't know why. I have never changed it in preferences which are supposedly global. I think what happens is if I import a drawing from someone else -- it will un-check it but I am not sure why. No big deal.

I am getting really good at this program and don't ask a lot of question. This one aggravates the crap out of me the dashed line that shows wall intersections when your drawing walls keeps turning off where is this setting? I found it one time... I keep resetting defaults to get it to reappear.. I don't have to use it but it is a handy little guy....

The reference manual is my best friend I have spent many hours with the toilet and the manual. I copied mine but I need to get it in a book because mine takes up 7 binders. It will not be getting any literary awards anytime soon.

Thanks guys: I worked through the floor structure dbx several times and it will not generate concrete I am going to work on it today.

I looked at some videos that discussed platform heights, depths ect. The older videos that show how to do a concrete second storysLabri House Design.plan do not seem to work with X6. I have a three story building first story is on a slab of course the next 2 story's as well will have 6" slab floors.. I changed floor materials ect but cannot get a slab floor to generate between floors. I have been working about 16 hours today . I know I am probably a little loopy but is there an easier way. attaching a sample floor plan.

For me it was a multi-window thing and it has nothing to do with graphics card or processor speed or capabilities. I am running 64 bit windows 8.1. I do not know what the issue is but I used my second monitor as my new boat anchor and it is all good now..

Yes I have the same problem does not crash my system just Chief and it does it a lot- mostly when I am doing an undo or trying to go back but it does it other times as well. Love the upgrade but because of this I am almost sorry I did.

As soon as I recoup from my new plotter.. Ill get one ...reviews are great.

Lots of luck on this one..

Stiil Have not figured out exactly how you use the tool but I will..

Perry You got that right..

Glenn: Thanks so much overlooked that one.

Curt: The walls were easy I just made new wall defs. The Roof was a little bit more difficult. I used the delete surface tool, turned off all auto framing and skimmed away surfaces. However every-time I would remove one portion and change something some of the surfaces would regenerate but leave my previous step unchanged. I have not figured out how Bill did the siding thing but I will. I just think for additions this is a nice view to show clients. I am fairly new to Chief but an expert Revit user. Chief is awesome though.

If you need help in the future we can turn around construction docs in 3 days...I have an engineer on staff as well.

I am in Raleigh but I am in...

This is what I came up with..

NCC-1701 Ok how did you do it? Looks awesome. Exactly what I want to do...

I think I fixed it for you can I send it back to your reg email.

So what part are you struggling with?

Scott: You were my super hero but I just reduced you to hero. Anyway your probably right. I am going to try Perry' s suggestion if it does not work. I am going to the pub for a few hour and contemplate it over some lager.

I want to show the framing of a dormer room I am adding on a house but show the rest of the exterior finished as it exists-in perspective view. Can anyone help a lost soul.
