  1. Have you considered the Materials List?
  2. I assumed you would know to uncheck Roof Over This Room
  3. Go to your Dimension Defaults, change to Locate Surfaces, then pull an Interior Dimension.
  4. Make that space a room -- close it in with Room Divider walls.
  5. Those need to be drawn manually. Draw one, open it and change the settings, then copy it across.
  6. The default floor framing is an I-Joist. What type of truss do you want? Why change the flange width?
  7. Open each room, review the settings on the Structure panel.
  8. I keep grid snaps off all the time as I don't find them useful.
  9. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/adVWNY7F10w?hd=1
  10. Post a picture or 2 showing your railing.
  11. Those are Temporary Points. Search Help for more info.
  12. What I noticed was the Roof Baseline just outside the wall and how it was different from the opposite side, not the misalignment. That made me think the wall was not aligned. I've sent this in to Chief as a bug.
  13. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Qo_-0nqz7h4?hd=1
  14. You can do multiple videos in a single reply -- keeps things cleaner
  15. I don't understand. I just used Pro 2020 to do what I did in Chief. Were you unable to do the same?
  16. I'm sure you have considered all possibilities.
  17. I always seem to fumble around with foundation problems like this but see if this helps. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/IyXkkP33-EQ?hd=1
  18. A Room Divider wall set to be visible will also work. A 0" thick Room Divider will snap to the cabinet in plan, then use Transform/Replicate to move it in towards the cabinet. Use the center tool to center the doors on the cabinet.
  19. A short followup on dimensioning and how to show a problem for the best help. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Wu1yEhPG6_g?hd=1
  20. Because the program as installed is set up to automatically place Auto Dimensions, I'm guessing users might miss out on using Temporary Dimensions. I dislike the clutter of automatic dimensions (interior and exterior) while working on a plan, so I rely on Temporary Dimensions. There are times when a Temporary Dimension will not pickup where I want to dimension from, so in those cases, I'll use a manual dimension, sometimes coupled with a CAD line, then delete the manual dimension.

  21. This video is not related, but might be worth a watch. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s-TcAHsiMjg

  23. Once you set a walls length, you don't need to see its length -- trust that it is correct and will remain so. I draw complete houses using only temporary dimensions, and only add (manual) dimensions at the end of the process -- or when a temporary dimension is not picking up the point I want to adjust from, and then that manual dimension is deleted.
  24. Try this. Go to Edit>Delete Objects Choose all floors and check Automatic and Manual dimensions. Learn to trust Temporary Dimensions, and trust yourself to enter things correctly. Once you have changed each wall, then, if you feel you need them, add dimensions
  25. The default setting is to show textures, not patterns. Patterns apply to other views too, not only vector.
