stephenbc Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Is it possible to get CA to recognize steel posts (HSS) when one frames a wall, or is this just something we have to clean up manually? Perhaps I'm missing something, but what I'm getting is framing that simply ignores the posts that I've placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Chief framing handles regular and repetitive framing well. Custom and specialized conditions need to be created manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yes it would be nice if it was all auto but how about two wall breaks and set the post section to retain it's non framed condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Chief does not adjust the repetitive wall framing around added posts, nor does it show the manually placed post in the framing detail of the wall. Send them a Feature Request! We don't often use wall framing, and we don't do material takeoffs. But if you do, I can see why this would matter. How to submit a Feature Request? I believe you just write to Tech Support the same way you would report a bug or other issue. Maybe one of the Chief Dudes will correct me if I'm wrong about the procedure.
