HERETOGO Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Following the video on cross section / elevation views, I can get the elevations to come up, as well as the section view through the middle of the house, save the view and go into the project view and it is there. The one thing that I can not see is how they got from the cross section view with the cabinets and solid walls and trusses to the line drawings of he trusses, floor system walls without being solid, but more detailed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 For x-sects I use the vector view camera, I have not seen the video so not totally sure of the question. They may have used the auto detail button which puts in fill paterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 You must frame the model to be able to see it in the sections. Also you need to make sure that the framing layers, cabinets, etc, are on in section view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERETOGO Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 If I auto frame once I have the roof trusses drawing in, will it change them back to rafters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERETOGO Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did a little more investigating, and the way I understand it now, is that Chief will not automatically do the cross sections as I thought they would. I guess you have to use the Cad tools to do the sections the way I was wanting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 once you draw in the trusses than they will stick and new re- framing will only frame where no trusses exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERETOGO Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks, that is great to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I always keep my sections live and only use the Auto detail for insulation and foundation embellishments. Look into using Annosets to automate most of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
