coffcons Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi all, I have Chief 9.5. I've drawn a second floor with stairs to a plan and have ended up with a mystery beam. I know it's a beam because it disappears when I remove the check mark on the beam tab in the "Display Options" tool. Needless to say I haven't drawn a beam there or anywhere else for that matter. I cannot select the line in Plan view to delete it. Any ideas how I can get rid of this annoyance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 they are created by Chief to show where roof intersects with walls (head bumpers) they can't be deleted, so just turn off that layer or adjust roof to eliminate them Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffcons Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks Lew, I'm still a little unclear on what you mean. I suppose I COULD just turn off that layer as you say, but please tell me why they are drawn by Chief? What adjustment to the roof would eliminate them?

lbuttery Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 when the roof impacts ceiling height Chief draws the beam lines In a real house this is where you would bump your head walking around if you don't want them at all raise the roof until they go away Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't think those are ceiling break lines - they occur outside the plan. Post the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 try to re-frame the roof planes, looks like leftover fascia and ridge. Turn on auto roof framing. Not sure if 9.5 had auto roof framing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffcons Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's definitely related to the lower roof plane as it mirrors exactly the lower roof plane. I moved the plane up one floor for editing, but the mystery line remains. I'm just not sure how to get rid of it short of deleting the lower roof plane and rebuilding it. This is probably what I'll have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Glenn: maybe not ??? I remember doing a project way back with ver 9 .5 or 10 that had lots of areas that were lower than 6'8" and Chief was placing the lines I remember adding polyline solids to the lower height areas so that the client could see on the floor plan where usable space was versus unusable space but maybe that is not what the OP is experiencing ???

Solution coffcons Posted February 3, 2015 Author Solution Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks guys, It definitely was a roof issue. I rebuilt the lower roof planes and the mystery lines disappeared finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
