QUESTION
I deleted the roof in my plan but still see the roof framing. Why is it still there and how do I delete the roof framing as well?
ANSWER
In order to build roof framing in Chief Architect, it's necessary to first build a roof. However, once the framing is created it is independent of the roof planes, allowing you to delete either one without affecting the other.
To delete a roof and roof framing
- Open the Chief Architect plan in which you would like to delete the roof framing.
- Select Edit> Delete Objects
from the menu.
- In the Delete Objects dialog:
- Click the radio button beside All Floors.
- Check the box beside Roof Planes.
- Keep in mind that if you click the OK button now, the roof planes in the drawing will be deleted, but the roof framing will not.
- Check boxes beside Roof Framing, Roof Baseline Polylines, and Roof Trusses.
- Click the OK button to delete both the roof and roof framing in your plan.
- Click the radio button beside All Floors.
