Chopsaw Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Is this just chief being smart and reminding me that hardware is required to make the connection or is there some setting that I have missed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There in lies one of the most glaring and basic problems with the way Chief draws or demarcates a deck or porch perimeter/edge (which should be a Single Line entity that does not effect Railing or Ceiling demarcations). Same for Roofs & their Soffits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it to define the deck perimeter, then set the deck's actual railing to "No Room Definition". Caution though, having those 2 walls in the same place can come with extra hassles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd give us stairs, railings etc, that are can be exploded (sort of) ...allow us to edit the parts, but with a reset button, or something like that.

But it would be cool if you had the option to choose a connection type and chief would just do it to factory specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
