Don't copy the layer, copy the plan. Hit SAVE AS and make a new copy of the plan you are working on. Now you can change and experiment and the original plan file is unchanged. But yes, you can also simply copy and paste. Open the new plan, select the cad block, hold CTRL C go to the new plan and hold CTRL ALT V. Make the CAD layer a block first.

Just like it's going to be built. Build your wall type and go.

Try making the sub facia a 2"x8" and see what happens.

Just send it to layout...

Sure you can. Chief not so much, but you can.

Are you up on Anno Set and how how they work with the layer sets?

You can override globally when you send to layout. Check the box for PATTERN line weight and color. When you use that method, you loose the ability to control line weights from you layer/anno set, but it will accomplish what you are looking for.

Break the wall and set the thickness.

There is a post footing tool you can use to create that footing pad.

Unless you are using Auto Roofs, then you set the pitch in the wall dialog box the roof is setting on and let Chief do the rest.

You will need to rebuild the framing for those walls or the 4 plates won't show.

Check the dimension of the sub-fascia. Even if you don't use one, it controls that depth.

Open the symbol and check the X and Y. Sounds like their off, or the symbol isn't suppose to sit in a cabinet, it's suppose to go beneath the countertop.

Yep

Me too...very basic way to do this but works great. However.....P L E A S E do NOT place your stone base on top of the porch slab. Stone bases need to be grounded, not setting on top of the slab... P L E A S E!!!!

Why not just spec it with boarder planks and change the material?

Simply cut a hole in your roof to let those upper floor walls come up and add a shed roof to them so that you have more control over the roof.

Sounds like you have 2 layers of framing specified in the structure tab. Instead of a sub floor layer, you probably have another framing layer. Would need the plan file to figure it out.

You need to make a copy of that material and give it a different name, then adjust it.

Or the soffit or P-solid tool to create the courses. Might give you more flexibility than a molding.

Cut and paste it in the attic wall above. I note vents when I don't want them to show.

They are up a level? Just guessing without a plan file.

Leave the bottom flat and let the arched transom and molding from below give the arched look. Use custom muntins to further give the illusion of the arched bottom.

The are probably in a gable ATTIC wall and the WALLS, ATTIC layer is not displayed.

Unfortunately no. You can adjust a normal truss and make it a symbol I believe and add it to your library for later use.
