  1. In those cases, I keep the top rail just for the location, then make it very small. Then with either a shape or soffit, I will create the size I need and place it "around" the top tail that I shrunk
  2. Hard to call it advertising when it's free. It's a disappointment for certain.Yet the clearances needed are found on other websites to help with laying out a room
  3. Unfortunately, the CAD blocks are not available, yet the misc items are.
  4. You don't have to agree with it. It was a thought, that's all. Contact Chief Architect and snap at them. They'll have the definitive answer for you.
  5. Some of it could be the manufacturers decision to only offer their product to Chief Architect users, and not Home Designer users.
  6. Open up the catalog, pick the style you want, then put your cursor over the railing and watch the icon change. Click, and it will change
  7. It may not be something that is done by a lot of people, so a solution isn't readily available without asking support. Maybe someone else will chime in that has a better solution for your particular desire or has done it before, If your "sad" comment is directed at me.
  8. Maybe because the version you have is 3-4 years old, and newer versions may have changed it. Can always email support and ask them for an explanation. Anything else is just guesswork.
  9. I think that's the best you'll get unless you dig into it deeper.
  10. Look at your top toolbar at the light bulb. Click that and select "toggle sunlight"
  11. You had posted it on Chieftalk, not Hometalk. There is a bonus catalog in the library under cabinets>cabinet doors No.1 double panel that may work. I don't see that it has the unequal panels size panels, yet it may get you close. Unless you can fudge with an interior door style that shows unequal panels and get that to fit?
  12. Please post questions in the "Q&A" section. Depending on which program version and year you have look at pony walls
  13. Do you have your dimensions set to dimension to the rough opening?
  14. If architectural doesn't have pony walls, then use an exterior wall covering. You can read about them in your reference manual
  15. You can contact support. It's been an issue for years. You might be able to sneak a full height soffit in there. Or try unchecking the no locate box
  16. Maybe try adding a stud using the "post" item in the general framing tab? Set it at the stud size and height and see if that works. As a post, it should also show up in your framing view, as long as "posts" are turned on to display
  17. If you can get the "room divider" wall type to just show up as a line, and not an an "invisible wall", it may help it. I put a base cabinet with a dishwasher in it in my user library, so I can access it easily.
  18. The molding may not be showing because of the invisible wall at the end of the short wall. It acts as a room divider, and will not show it. You can try changing the wall type to "room divider" and have it show with the single line. It's something that changed a few versions back and is a pain in that it shows as a wall and not a dividing line. Another thing to look at is you have "no room moldings-exterior" checked. Try unchecking that d see if it helps.For the dishwasher, that is to be "dropped" into a cabinet. If not, it's likely being pushed back by the cabinet. To save yourself some typing, fill out your signature on the "account settings" in your profile. That was your version and year will always be in your posts, and you don't have to bother typing it every time.
  19. You might try eliminating the interior sill to keep the casing, then use a soffit to make a sill. Then you can make that the walnut color. It's a thought anyway

    looking for help

    Turn off "flat ceiling over this room" in the room defaults drop down box. Can always look at the reference manual for other solutions to different things.
  21. Whenever I have to draw a "room only" plan, I'll always draw an exterior perimeter, then draw the interior walls as needed. It helps keep the doors, etc. The correct type, ie interior. It should help with the roof.
  22. Try not checking soffit surface for ceiling. The material you select for the ceiling will follow the rafters.
  23. I wasn't sure if you had a 2nd floor on the building. That text box y-g-m-n shows is in your "framing" box in the defaults settings tab.
  24. Try setting your ceiling default to 16". You show the dimension, yet it's not checked as "default". It's a guess without seeing any more of the plan.
