    Even in my office of 10 designers we don't use it. I may play around with it when I get time, but all the exporting/importing is a no go for us.

    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.

    Yes and no. First, remove the 12" heel if you don't want it. Second, just start designing with auto roofs on and let it put trusses on the porch. When the design ready, change the porch roof to standard framing and mark it as edited so that it won't change if you make a revision.

    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..

    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.

    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.

    2 different plan views.

    Use a layer set and the plot view camera.

    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.

    Same....

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

    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....(?)
