You said it was an older plan? How many versions back was the original created?
-
That's how I fixed the issue as well, but the odd...or funny...or, well....I didn't do anything in that plan set except open the floor plan to add a couple framing notes.That was all. I never opened an elevation, or camera view, or anything of the sort, just 2 framing notes and had to update the elevations.
-
And to add insult to injury.....Added some framing notes, re-ran the PDF so that I could send it to client, and this is what my elevations look like.
-
And it's not just for presentations. After all the years and all the "fixes", I just spent the better part of an HOUR working on a fairly simple 90d staircase with railing on the bottom part which ends at the wall. Simple right? Had to hit the delete key and draw the staircase 2D. And I am 110% certain I know what I am doing. The line in the sand I mentioned about a year ago, as to whether it's time for Chief and I to break up, is now just off my heels rather than just ahead of toes.

Clinton Robertson used to use Chief. Not sure if he is licensed in Florida, but may be worth a shot clintonrobertson@gmail.com

If you use AutoDims they will.

Check the layer for cross section lines.

Not to hi-jack...but was this Thane's office? I had the occasion to meet, and befriend Thane through the AIBD and here on ChiefTalk. Spent some time with him in Boston.

That to me would be a BIG no-no...the window is displayed on the wrong floor and as sure as I am sitting here, that window will get framed into the first floor wall. I would add a note on the elevation that reads; ATTIC WINDOW xx" X xx" TO BE CENTERED IN ATTIC WALL W/ R.O. PER MFG INSTRUCTIONS. But that me...
-
Are the labels in the center of the contour line? Hardcoded to be in the center point?
-
Did you turn off AUTO JOISTS?
-
BTW...placing a bearing beam or wall will also trigger the joists to change direction to bear on that beam/wall.
-
Go to BUILD>FRAMING>JOIST DIRECTION and place a direction indicator in the plan.

Anyone Send 'Live' Elevations To Layout?
joey_martin replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Even sending them to layout using the plot line setting is still "lve" in my opinion. If a change is made, I make one click and the layout is updated, even with plot line. -
Anyone Send 'Live' Elevations To Layout?
joey_martin replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
All live elevations, sections, and 99.5% all live details. I also have them set to not manually update. I have few if any issues. -
Open the symbol, choose the 2D block, remove/change fill.
-
Of course....you won't be able to have 5 independent windows across there if you use this tool.

Where are controls for deck posts when adding stairs?
joey_martin replied to Clemsongrad's topic in General Q & A
But without the newels how will you stop and transition the rail? -
But what if you want to add windows to the box/bay? That is why being able to explode...like a dormer...would be best.
-
I do save as occasionally, but honestly I hit save and move on. Last thing I need is a hundred different versions of plans to keep track of. If a client wants me to change something, they best be sure because I'm going to charge them $80/hr to change it back if they change their mind.
