Thank you

I want to add an addition to a As Built plan that has a roof that was mostly manually created. I believe I saw a video of a way I can use Auto Roofs on the addition without changing the manually created ones, but I can't find it. I believe there was a setting for the manually created roofs so they are not changed. Can anyone either tell me how to do it or point me to the video. Thanks in advance

Thank you. This helps a lot.

How do I increase the size of the fascia, and not as important since the plan is just to use it for reference for the addition, how would I use a real dormer instead of the false roof gable?

This is how far I've gotten. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it closer to the actual pictures. Wendel OP House As Built.plan

Thank you for the video suggestion. That got me to layout the shell of the house. Unfortunately the false gables are just that. No room inside. This house has a second floor (loft). Would like to get a more accurate drawing.

Help needed I'm a casual user and can't figure out how to build this roof. I want to build this house as an as build to add an addition for a friend. The roof is just beyond my skill level, so any help would be appreciated. I have added pictures of the front and back of the house. Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can open a catalog without clicking on it if you just click on the arrow next to it.

Ok, but when you click on a catalog and all the items show in the Filter results, if you click on an item in a different catalog, it doesn't change. The items from the first catalog still show in the Filter Results. If this is by design, I just think that the way it was done in past versions is better and easier to view items.

Is anyone else having an issue with the Library Browser in X15 When clicking on individual items they are not showing up in the Filter Results. If you click on the catalog all the items in it display but if you click on an individual item it doesn't display. I remains showing all items in full catalog. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a know issue with X15 Beta?

Thanks for the explanations. Now I understand the manufacture issue.

The cabinets I have are from the Manufacture Catalog (Aristocraft). I just thought Chief uses that info to auto populate the field.

The cabinets I have are from the Manufacture Catalog (Aristocraft). Chief doesn't take that info and auto populate?

Oh, got it. I was unchecking the auto counter top and then adding the custom. Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Using the Box height works. Just interesting to me that the schedule uses the total height (cabinet and Counter top) if its an auto counter top but only uses the box height if its a custom counter top. I think its confusing since you end up with two different heights. As for the manufacture name, isn't the macro %manufacture% supposed to auto fill the name in the Manufacture column? Do I have to manually enter the name on every item ( every cabinet)?

Thank you for the responses'. I have downloaded the plan. Ocean City Condo Remodel Steff Option 1.zip

I'm a causal user so maybe I'm missing something but, on cabinet schedules it lists the cabinet as 36" including the counter top. Typically cabinets are 35". But if I use a custom counter top the cabinet is 35", which is the correct height. So on the schedule I end up with cabinets that are 35" and 36". Is there a way to set the correct height of the actual cabinet when auto counter top is checked so all cabinets are consistent? My other question is why isn't the Manufacture not filling in on the schedule? It shows %manufacture% which is the correct macro entered in the object information. schedule question.pdf

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Main reason was to get one material list for both rooms, but I think I can get it using the Material List Area, although using that wont list the door or trim to the bathroom.

How do I combine two rooms into one? I have a bathroom with a shower that is separated by a a pony wall with glass top. Currently the bathroom and shower are two separate rooms. Can I combine them so they are one room? I have X14 on Windows 11.

That worked. Thank you

I don't have that option, or at least I cant find it in the Define Materials.

Forgot to change signature. Using X12

Anyone have any idea why spiral ducts show completely in white in PBR. Noticed in a plan that I created so I duplicated it on this test plan. Test Duct Work.plan

Thanks. I got it now.
