  1. I don't think it will build automatically, but using the blocking(roof) tool you can draw the line of blocking in there and edit the entire line of blocking at once.
  2. The solution is to properly specify the framing. In my 20+ years of using Chief I have never encountered this problem.
  3. Are adding text OVER the dim line or using the text options within the dimension dialog box?

  5. What are your framing preferences set up as? Looks to me like your rafter framing as specified is larger then your fascia and sub-fascia specification. You need to set those ahead of time to get the right results the first time.
  6. You must have deleted the "Attic Walls" which is the best way to do those. I have an attic wall created that is 1.5" thick with no material and framing unchecked so that the sheathing, housewrap, and siding are all there, but the truss fits in and replaced the "wall framing". Add that "attic wall" back in and all the other factors you mentioned take care of themselves.
  7. The general framing tool allows for making those members metal. Either "C" channels or steel boxes just like what is shown in the OP pic.
  8. Or simply use the GENERAL FRAMING tool to have even more/better control of the size and placement.
  9. Lots of invisible walls to form the rooms and solids and symbols.
  10. However....architecturally the shutters should match the width of the windows. Small shutters on large windows = no no.
  11. Sounds like a print driver issue not a Chief issue. My Epson Sc-2100 had that happen after a Microsoft update.
