You can only modify the User Catalog.

I think the quickest method would be use a polyline solid for the arched parapet section. However, you can also use curved roof planes (with 0" Surface and Structure values) to control the height and shape of the arched parapet, then use a 3D Molding Polyline for the trim:

Use the Break Line tool on the lower gable roof form to pull the eave back in the area of concern; this will allow the wall below to extend to the high roof.

I suggest posting the .dwg file for us to examine.

Yes, I've had a CTD a few times after the latest update.

Have you tried the Bumping/Pushing icon to toggle the behavior on/off? I have mine set up with a hotkey [S,B].

I've submitted this issue to tech support, but I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this problem. When printing a layout page using Chief Architect Save As PDF there is considerable file bloat when the page includes an embedded PDF document. A page printed without a pdf is 40kb. A page printed with test.pdf is 1,152kb. The pdf is only 37kb; this is an increase of 2,780%! A page printed with test.pdf obscured is 1,153kb. So even though the print engine isn't rendering the PDF, the PDF is still impacting the size of the printed output. I use PDFs extensively throughout my Layouts, so this anomaly greatly affects my ability to share files via email, Dropbox, etc. Does anyone know how to prevent the bloat?

Use Copy/Paste with Point to Point Move. If you set up hot keys it's pretty quick.

Works for me also (I reduced the width of the transom by 1/2" so that the jambs and casing align):

European Copper is out of Tulsa. European Copper Chimney Pots.calibz The material assigned is Chief's standard Brushed Copper; the real pots have a patina, but I don't have a good texture replacement.

Agree. I model the timber frame elements separately from the building walls.

I'm coming to this late, but how much greater than 10sqft? If you can fit a person inside, then I'd interpret the space as an Accessory Storage Area (1 occupant per 300 gross sqft) and you'd need at least a 32" door for exiting. Further, if it can be considered an essential part of an employee work area, then it may need to be accessible and would need a 36" door.

Two simple symbols: a 4" insert for utensils, etc. and a 8" escutcheon for trash/recycle holes: insert.calibz escutcheon.calibz ...and if you want the 6-valve bev dispenser, here you go: bev.calibz

I don't know about a fence. I'm not sure you can get a railing wall to follow a slope.

One method is to use ramps. After the shape of the wall is set, draw ramps and manipulate the settings as required. In this example I have two ramps, one for the horizontal section of wall, and another for the sloped section of wall: It can be difficult getting the ramp heights set properly - the ramp dialog isn't very friendly - but once you understand the basics it goes quickly.

If you're looking for a display control unit, here's a generic one: homeautopanel.calibz

Just curious, why didn't you use the Quadlock floor throughout? Cost? Spans? Floor performance?

What Chopsaw said.

Here's the easel with the texture: jesuseasel.calibz

My most recent ICF project: 1) Thickness. I had a 14' tall ICF foundation supporting a precast plank garage floor and used a 10" core with ASTM Grade 60 deformed bars, #6@48" oc horizontally and #6@16" oc vertically within 1/3 of the tension face. I think a 10" core should suffice for your project, but of course you'll have to run calcs for the reinforcing depending on your soil class, equivalent fluid pressure, etc. 2) Stone veneer can be adhered (lick and stick), following the MVMA guidelines, with the drainage material and lath attached directly to the ICF web stiffeners: 3) You can certainly do the entire foundation in ICF. Advantages: one system; consistent construction and continuous insulation. Disadvantages: cost; designing the lintel reinforcement for any punched openings. If the upper floor is going to be framed, I would recommend framing any significant portions of the exposure. 4) Yes, you can place the sill plate for the upper floor directly on the ICF. A word of caution, however: there can be significant settling of the concrete pour within the ICF form which results in a top of wall that isn't level and requires a lot of shimming when installing the sill plate. Joists are installed "normally". An alternative is to hang the joists off a ledger that is attached with a specialty hanger such as the Simpson ICFVL; this type of solution is helpful when you need a flush entry. 5) The best solution for the upper floor walls is to use a tapered form for the ICF top course that allows you to align the sill plate with the outer edge of the ICF form, though you can also cantilever the sill plate over the form (if your local code allows). This allows you to align the SIPs however you want to best work with the exterior finishes:

Draw the roof planes, then change the Baseline Height to raise/lower the planes. Read the Reference Manual starting on page 800 - it's fairly straight forward.

The right side needs to be a separate roof plane; simply change the baseline height.

Using roof planes to control the gable parapets does have some drawbacks but once it's set up any necessary adjustments are a simple matter of changing the roof plane parameters: gableparapet.plan

If both plan views are using the same layerset, then of course the labels will turn off in both views if you modify the layerset. Create two layersets - one for each view.
