Joe_Carrick Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 A Balcony would usually have different framing as well but Chief doesn't have a separate default for Balcony Framing. This is one of those cases where the Floor Structure Default box would not be checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It works with a balcony too. just tried it. A 3 story house with a balcony on the second floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It still works even using kitchens and baths on different floors. Just tried it. Not sure about "decks" since decks have its own separate framing. Thanks guys, I was just asking, didn't test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Saw the video, but you had all one big normal rooms, When does that ever happen ? What if you have some baths or garages, kitchens and decks. I was thinking like Perry , that's a dumb dumb place to put that default, Rooms are not Floors... and Decks/Porches etc are never at Floor level at least around here.

tommy1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 BTW, since I don't do basements here, and therefore really don't have knowledge about them in Chief, I don't know if changing the floor structure would make a difference for a basement (ceiling height and basement floor).

Kiwideziner Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This is enlightening. That is fine for maybe tower blocks where all floor heights and structures are the same, IRL here we would typically have different ceiling heights and floor structures in the house. So then it is back to tommy's method I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 "Again not true, you cannot change the default floor thickness once the floor is built.." Am I not doing that here in this video? Again my understanding is flawed but trying to help. Larry, In this video, you don't show the dbx for the room. I bet the floor structure for the ROOM is set to Default, so that when you change the FLOOR default, the room is following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 .......... THAT IS NOT TRUE. THAT IS THE ISSE. THAT IS NOT TRUE. YOU CANNOT CHANGE A DEFAULT FLOOR STRUCTURE ONCE THE FLOOR IS THERE. YOU CAN CHANGE IT, BUT IT IS NO LONGER A DEFAULT. THIS IS MY ENTIRE POINT OF THE POST. ......... Larry, You might want to double check this. You can define the default floor structures for all floors. Build a 20 story building, they all have the overall default floor structure, you can now go into the default floor structure for the 14th floor, change it, and that new default will override the OVERALL floor defaults, and then after the 20 story building is built, you can go into the default floor structure for the 8th floor and change the default floor structure for the eighth floor. The point of this post is you can change the default floor structure for a particular floor or all floors after the floors are built. I will be glad to show you how to do it in a GTM.

BryceEngstrom Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It's amazing how much time I will waste before finally taking the time to find a real solution. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdroes82 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I am having this same problem on my basement ceiling and 1st floor. I need to change 1st floor thickness. Changed in defailts, set each to use default, still not changing floor thickness when I rebuild Framing. I am using x9, and in my defaults, there is no "Rooms" - It is now "Floor and Rooms", with no Normal Room option. How can this be done in Chief x9?

OttawaP Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The whole floor resize, roof move, lower floor.....and all the combinations there of, has been a source of great fist and head pounding for me. This thread helps a lot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
