Could it have something to do with the recent issues with Intel processors? It looks like you are using a 14th gen processor.

I think it has to do with however that original wall was created or copied being the problem. I created a new wall from scratch, 1 layer of brick 8" thick and it works fine. Something about that original wall was causing a 12" offset down, you can see the 4" concrete core doing the same thing in those last pics I posted. The wall in the edited plan attached doesn't do that.

Good evening Jim, It should be entirely possible to auto roof this using invisible walls with room definition properties, or if you want to dive a little deeper check out Roof Baseline Polylines in the help files.
 
I would probably use a hybrid method of auto roof to start and then turn off auto roof and manually adjust the roof edges as needed. I would probably use a normal exterior wall to define the outermost boundaries of the roof, then turn off auto roof and adjust manually from there.
 

I think you'll also want to change the 3D solid's layer to "Footings, Post" in the Line Style dialogue.
 

 

 

 

I've seen that on a few other objects (don't remember which objects) I was looking at after some recent library updates. My assumption is they were created at Chief using a version of X16 and added to the bonus catalog updates.

I don't see a simple way to do it with win10 or win11, which is kind of silly, but this might be worth a shot? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/set-the-mouse-scroll-direction-to-reverse-natural/ede4ccc4-3846-4184-a86d-a028515040c0
 
For what it's worth, I use a Logitech g604 mouse and you can use the Logitech pc app to change the scroll direction and customize the buttons pretty easily.

I've run into this before but I can't remember exactly what the solution was. Do you have lintels on any of the windows before you mull them? If so try without the lintels.
 
I've found that with these types of window configurations it's sometimes easier and more accurate to turn off exterior casings, go to elevation view and get a cad detail from view, draw a polyline around the perimeter of the ganged window frames, offset the line for whatever reveal you want, copy>paste/hold position the p-line to your elevation view, then convert the p-line to a molding polyline to create your casing.
 
It would be really nice if we had control for each individual side of casings per window. On or off, different widths and thicknesses.

Jim - try checking the "'details" box in the reference view dbx.

How about creating a wall schedule, then select the offending wall on the schedule, and hit the "Find in Plan" button on the edit toolbar? If it's found on more than one floor you'll get a prompt to select which floor you want to find it on, so if it's hiding in the attic somewhere it should find it for you.
 

 

If you're using rich text and it does that you might try using "standard" text instead.
 
Here's what I get when I copy/paste your text into the two different text methods:

@someguyThere are some macros in this thread that should help you out.
@para-CAD Thats what I was always used to seeing too. There's probably a way to do it in Chief.

Are your stairs set to be open or closed beneath? It's strange they would be doing this regardless but might be worth seeing if it makes a difference.

I had the same experience when I upgraded to X13 last week, though my GeForce GTX 740 video card would get me through for another year before investing in a new PC. It turns out the shader model on my card is only 5.1 so it does not meet the 6.0 requirements. I found a GTX 1050 for a fairly reasonable price that I could get quickly. Installed that yesterday and everything is working great now.
 
It looks like you are probably having the same experience with the GTX 770.

Look at the "Graphics Features" section and it shows the shader model as 5.1. The shader model cannot be upgraded on a GPU.
 
So the "Max Shader Model" info in the X13 video card status dialog is not necessarily accurate for the Nvidia 7 series GPU's.
