  1. Hi Jim, I'm not getting those results UNLESS the bottom of the window is in the space occupied by the finish flooring. 1/8" above the finish flooring should bring it back.
  2. to reproduce the wall layering and configuration, you will need to break a wall and use a different wall type. Friendly reminder to keep in mind that you won't be able to make Chief conform to pre-existing notions based on other software. Sometimes, your methods will need to conform to the functions of Chief Architect
  3. In order to prevent the exterior material from wrapping around the end, you can move the exterior material layer to become part of the main layer. I can't tell you exactly how that will affect your model, but be prepared for unintended consequences. Maybe it works well, maybe it doesn't.
  4. In the meantime 2 things to try first: Renumber Schedule select schedule, Ctrl-x, Ctrl-alt-v
  5. That is the easy way. I do this all the time. One schedule per floor...only notes included from that floor. I'm doing it right now actually. PM me with your plan file if you don't want to post it here and I'll show you what you can do specific to your project. And then I'll return your file.
  6. I ate a late lunch and then made another symbol with just a face for the drain which took the face count down to 1574. I should probably do some actual work yet today...
  7. It's a kitchen sink coming soon
  8. I'd be happy to give you a price. I'll PM you with my email address.
  9. All you should need is a separate schedule for each floor with the included items limited per floor.
  10. To go back to a 2x6 top chord: open truss tr-2 dialog select 'Lock Truss Envelope..." change top chord back to 5 1/2" select 'Force Truss Rebuild"
  11. It worked for me: changed the top chord to 3.5" select the fascia, single click extend object, click on tr-2
  12. This is because you have a fence that is creating a Room and the rocks are set to be positioned relative to the finished floor elevation. Make all fences 'No Room Definition' Set all landscaping objects to be positioned relative to Terrain, not finished floor.
  13. To fix your stairs, you'll need to delete the stairs you have and redraw the stairs from the deck edge while holding the Alt key.
  14. Hey Levina, the best way to handle this is to keep all of the main floor at the default elevation of 0. Then lower the Foyer floor and other floors as needed. The simplest way to understand the elevations is to import the elevation drawings into Chief at the correct scale. Place the drawings so the main floor elevation is at 0" on the grid and the create your own 'storypole' using some cad lines, dimensions and markers to develop a clearer picture of the various elevations. This method will give you the guidance you need to adjust room elevations in plan view.
  15. Yes, I knew what it could be, but the OP said they were looking for that symbol in the library and then found it. And, that somehow this pointed to a solution for future inquires. However there are at least 2 very different options for almost the same thing. If we were looking for Markers, then we could point folks in this direction: or this: If we wanted to find a Marker symbol from the Library, then we could point folks in this direction:
