I am doing several screen porches on a project and would like the full height post that abuts the wall to be a full size square post, not a half post. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks everyone for the quick response. Glad this one had an easy answer.

How can I change the dimensions of the beam when I run railing with posts and a  beam across the top?

When chief  generates a string of automatic exterior dimensions it sometimes adds a point I don't want in the string. Is there a way to delete a single dimension point in a string?

Thanks for the reply, you confirmed what I was thinking.

I have a DWG drawing for a large 3 story house that I wanted to convert to chief so that I can add an electrical layout using chief symbols.

I can import the file as a basic cad drawing. all of the walls windows and doors are on a single layer, ARXFINE. I tried importing it per the instructions and then using the cad to wall tool and ended up with an unworkable drawing.

Is the it difficult too import an auto cad plan into chief and make a chief type of file?

Secondly I can work with the basic CAD file and would like to just add the electrical switches, fixtures and connections. However since my walls don't show as CHIEF walls it won't let me place the switches. Is there a way to override the wall issue?

Thanks in advance for all of your wise help.

The obvious solution to me is to just work with the basic CAD drawing and draw the switches, fixtures and connections in using CAD and skip the Chief symbols.
