locking exterior wall dimensions

[Kilgore Trout]

I'm sorry to disagree with this but I think the idea of "wall locks" is pointless. If you don't want your walls to move, then don't move them. If you don't want other walls in your plan to move, then don't change any walls connected to them. And whatever you do, don't change any of the wall types you are using.

I bet that most of the people that are having this problem are only having it because they have changed their wall types and have not set up the "resize about" so the program will do what they want. I have never seen a case where the program randomly changed a wall without me doing something that directly caused it.

If you really can't live with this, then convert your walls into a symbol or use a view to cad detail. Now your walls won't move because they aren't walls anymore.

I don't think it's Chief's responsibility to protect you from your lack of understanding how the program works.
