x15 - No Room Definition Grayed Out

[Baldassarri]

Very new user; I have tried to create a straight deck edge, confirmed its enclosed.  It will not let me select a room definition and the No Room Definition box is grayed out.  I cannot determine what I did to make that happen in this drawing.  If I create a new plan w/basic box and draw the straight edge deck it works as expected.  I have spent a couple hours trying to figure it out, which I am sure is a very simple answer.  Any help/guidance is appreciated.

Be sure that all enclosing walls are not marked as " No Room Definition ".  Also the Room Type dropdown is gray but you can still use it.

 

Maybe post  a couple of screen shots of your dialog boxes and your plan view and let us know what version you are using.

You should be posting a copy of your Chief plan...not a DWG file. Thanks!

74 Old Ridge.plan Sorry attached is the plan and a few screen shots showing the issue.  I did check every wall and they all show the same thing. N gaps and the No Room Definition grayes out. Even on the tool dialoque on Straight Deck Railing - No Room Def is gray, but on Straight Railing its available to select

I am using x15

Looks like your Deck Railing Defaults are set to be Furred Walls (Structure panel, Double Wall section).

Furred Walls are essentially No Room by definition, so the option is checked, then disabled so you can't Undo it.

Thank you vry much!  I changed it from furred walls and was able to properly draw the deck.  I appreciate the quick reply
