Pass thru window blocking elevation view
joey_martin replied to ChiefChrissy's topic in Tips & Techniques
That is because when you created the wall for the pass-thru you created a room the tub is sitting in and now that "room" is not visable. Make the wall "NO ROOM DEFINITION" and what's behind it will show. -
Check the size of the SUB FASCIA. It's too small causing the fascia to be cut at that size.
-
I tend to use the material region tool. I create a batten and then muti-copy as needed all over the plan.
-
Choose to align the walls from the inside face. There is a checkbox.
-
You are saving the new layer set over top of the saved plan view. Read up on Saved Plan Views.

Wall layer settings.

Select the "room" just outside the exterior walls and hit the button to make a room molding polyline. Add your profile from there. This method will automatically cut your openings for you as well.

Problems with the Exporting Plan to PDF file
joey_martin replied to ChiefUserNurin's topic in General Q & A
Nothing gets exported to PDF, you need to PRINT to PDF. It looks like your line weights are all messed up or the scale you are sending, or.... We need the files to figure this out.. -
wall elevations vs cross section elevations
joey_martin replied to winterdd's topic in General Q & A
Because the fireplace on technically in a different room. Make the wall in front of the fireplace NO ROOM DEFINITION and see what your results are. -
Is there a way to layer fill options in plan view?
joey_martin replied to annalisax's topic in General Q & A
Do yourself a favor and use keynotes rather than fills... -
As a designer that is in the field weekly visiting our job sites, I can tell you 100% that the trim carpenters will be telling stories about the jerk designer that thought it was cool putting crown molding on a vaulted ceiling. I am one of those designers....sadly....I don't do that any longer.

Nail a cleat up and fasten to the cleat.

Your stem wall needs to be a pony wall. no need for a workaround or pulling the brick down, just create that stem wall and use it for your foundation.
-
You have a ton of cleanup to do on the walls, but if you look at the WIC in the bottom right of your plan I fixed that wall and rebuilt the foundation, which you didn't have built. 2000SF Lily Plan.zip

Are you sure you want the brick extended OVER the slab, or setting on brick ledge that is part of the slab? That setting is in in the wall definition.

Just sent a ticket in.

Change the 2D symbols to whatever you want them to be.

Starting a plan in Chief and merging to Revit
joey_martin replied to LegacyChief's topic in General Q & A
Short answer. No. Long(ish) answer. Maybe. There may be a way to export the Chief model as a 3D .dxf or .dwg and then import and maybe....(?)- 1 reply

How do I get this closed riser/open below look?
joey_martin replied to Kalvin18's topic in General Q & A
Honestly, I would simply draw those as a CAD box and when I had the shape right I would make a solid and give it the depth/width it needs. These are not typical stairs, so just like in the field where they won't likely be built with regular stringers, you will need to use all the tools and think it over a bit.
