Boxon1 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I am working on As-Built recreation of a house, built in California, in a period of 1960-1980 (with several remodels and additions). The framing was done somewhat differently than it is usually in the other parts of the States, and the existing Plan Set is hand-drafted and equipped with very few dimensions. Most of the dimensions are site-verified, and I made some progress making a plan file, but the Chief doesn't seem to like the way this house was built. At this moment I encountered a problem that I never had before (using Chief on a daily basis since X6): After I added the roofs, this strange white belt appeared around the entire lower part of the house. I painted part of this in red, so I can identify what is it - looked like some strange belly-band, but piercing through the roof plane. -After I painted it red, it appeared to be a second ceiling plane - probably some kind of the second floor, that I can't access by DBX of any room. By the way, the room DBX shows the normal height of 97-1/8", and nothing above. No second floor. Also, at the perspective view, you can notice a gap in the exterior wall, where this ceiling plane ends. By the way, I can modify the platform option, because I need it to show properly first-floor floor joist - I already tried that. Whatever I do, I can't get rid of this plane. Any kind of help will be appreciated and welcome since I tried every trick from my bag... MacBain Av - AS BUILT.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxon1 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 This is updated file - after I made wall framing. Framing looks normal. Can this be some problem with the ceiling framing? MacBain Av - AS BUILT.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxon1 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Eric, you are genius. I can't thank you enough. After I deliver this job, I will have to return to the file and figure out how that happened, but at this moment Iam just extremely happy that you found the solution.
