Chimney - How?
Wondering how to construct a fireplace chimney.
According to the CA help you can use the soffit tool and apply materials to it. However, this would not "frame"...would it? Is it typical to construct chimneys in this manner?
I have an outside chimney chase...3 walls. The house is 2-story on a basement. The basement extends under the 3 outside chimney chase walls. The chimney is brick veneer. The chimney needs to extend above the 2nd floor top plate maybe 8'-10'. 1st floor has 10'

Only downside is in section view you'll see the interior wall of the chase against the house , so you'd need to remove those lines in your section detail.
I used a text box on my .plan to make notes originally so the "How To" is
