DavidJPotter Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I think what Joey means is that Exterior Dimensions are literally that and if your wrap-around porch is between the exterior of the house but wrapped around, the auto-exterior dimensions will skip the exterior walls enclosed by the wrap around porch areas That probably means that those areas missed will have to be manually dimensioned by you, that is all that you are looking at. The software is programmed to work a particular way and sometimes you have to manually step in an do what was "automatically" missed. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not looked at the Plan , but All Railing Walls are automatically set as No Locate on their General Tab , uncheck that and Auto dims will now Measure to them as well. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00092/troubleshooting-dimensions-not-locating-railings.html Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
