  1. Yeah I just switched to them. Gonna give them the ole college try
  2. Project management in X17 will solve a lot of your issues I don't usually promote my YT membership here but I have a whole playlist on cloud that would very much help you understand more about the cloud and how it works. You absolutely do not need to be logging into someone else's dropbox to be sharing project files. Dropbox is built for collaboration and has awesome sharing tools so you can be logged into your own account and by syncing to the cloud and accessing the same files.. That being said, having files that are syncing through a server/client like dropbox means that the files live on his machine and are being synced to the cloud, but that does not mean that files that he has in layout on his machine will be synced with it to the cloud. Those files could be anywhere on his machine, and chief is simply accessing those files on his machine wherever they live. If they are not set in the dialog box to "Save in Plan" then they are just being accessed on his machine. Chief will always look for assets present in plan or layout within the data folder or within the local directory of where the layout or plan file exists. So if when he attaches these files, they are in the same folder as the plan file, then they would not be missing links if he was syncing that folder with you.
  3. just FYI it will be better for most people using unmanaged mode to keep the project file as a project file and it will prompt them about how they would like to import the assets that are included in the archive file. Also note that some people will be using advanced tags which behave and display very differently than the folder tags you are showing. Which is fine, as you said, this is the way you are using the system
  4. where? and what symbol? the insulation fill style? and where are you wanting to see that in wall type definitions? If you are trying to designate something as insulation in a cross section view with the Auto Detail tool you simply select a layer in your wall type definition and check the box that says "Auto Detail as Insulation"
  5. most of those icons are tools I've built from style pallets and I drew those icons, so hotkeys don't access them all that well since you need a multistage hotkey to get to the library. For example, one of those tools just takes a swipe to make a room full of oven base cabinets hood lined wall cabinets and double oven full height cabinets, or a swipe to make 4 rooms be conditioned or considered coverage
  6. its a 36" ultrawide, I just record part of the screen for videos like this, and I have the icon size pumped up for videos
  7. Thats not me, thats chieftalk...it automatically removes files once my user id hits its file size storage cap
  8. This is EXACTLY why I do my walkout basements on level 1, so we can isolate stem walls from custom pony walls in a stepped and furred foundation
  9. You can build a separate default set, one for each preference, to center and side, then its just a single scroll down from the active default set to another in 3d. and sorry I was just talking to a Brad I know you are Rob 250618 (2).mp4
  10. Sorry let me rephrase why aren't you doing automatic always refresh exterior dimensions to center and temp dimensions to sides . You will be able to use either or then
  11. Why no set your exterior defaults to center and your temp dimensions to sides?
  12. This would come from your temp dimensions from the active dimension default of your camera type
