Living Square Footage Calculation missing

[Willis93]

Morning, Ive read about every post on getting the included Living Square footage calculation to come back with no success. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried plan check about 10 times. All of my rooms are set to "Include in living area square footage" Im using Chief x13

The exterior wall is setup incorrectly. The siding layer is set as framing. Also, this may be intentional but the wall has no sheathing or drywall layers. There's probably not much point using 3 dimensional cabinets, fixtures and furniture if the walls don't have all the finish layers.

Hey Rob, REALLY appreciate the fix, was so simple!! Thanks! About the layers, thanks for pointing that out. I did that so when the dimensioning the dims would be for framing not siding or sheetrock. I am sure there is a proper way todo this...it made the plans print "properly" for my framers. The 3d stuff works great though. Again thanks for chiming in on this.

Yes, it sounds like you ( or another User of Chief?) have your Dimensions set for doing Remodels or As-Builts as they are snapping to Surfaces not to the Framing ( Wall Main Layer ) which is the Default in Chief actually.
