  1. I hear you. The why is that PM solves 2 of their most frequent support calls, broken links and missing textures. You can turn project management off from preferences if you like For some of us power users we wouldn't do without Project Management, it adds the ability for some really robust automation. It also solved some age old issues. If you want to know more about that you can check out this video: You can turn project management off from preferences if you like
  2. Its an easy adjustment with just a small amount of information This video should get you right back to where you were before. Also print your pdfs to Dropbox, that part hasnt changed ...instead of using "Export" simply use print and use the chief PDF print driver and save wherever you want on your dropbox account
  3. If you are trying to use it on walls, walls derive their materials from their wall definition. There are other such hard coded definitions that conflict with this as well such as structure(A concrete porch for instance) I would suggest sharing your plan file with wetransfer or cloud so we can take a look at the window issue
  4. seems as if you may have two windows in the same spot
  5. thats not an option I want to take unfortunately. PM is saving me hours on each project and I wouldnt give that up
  6. 20-45 minutes on avg. I recently removed my backdrops library(13gb) from my user catalog. I deleted all but 8 projects and it takes the same amount of time Disk usage is next to nothing during a backup. If I were to just manually save all of the files from my programdata it takes only a couple of minutes This really takes the enjoyment out of the process. I currently have to create a backup if I want to output an updated toolbar configuration to my team. Next thing I will try is deleting my user library and textures directory just to reimport it again after the backup, which seems ridiculous.
  7. You can also use multiple copy with this checked: which requires a point
  8. Post your plan please. you can use wetransfer for free to share a link
  9. what would be a the reason for wanting to change layer sets from one floor to another?
  10. I'll share what is built in the Pro Plan. If you have an SPV set to Use Any Floor Then all you would need to do is duplicate the layout page that has this view sent to it: open your layout box of the duplicated page and then scroll to 2nd floor: Instead of duplicating so many SPV's for each possible floor It simplifies things a great deal
  11. I would not use symbols. I would use the reference plan tool draw 3 houses on 3 separate plans then use the xyz offsets in reference plan tool to position your houses.
  12. You can add this info to your signature. Also, Can you please provide your plan with the area in question bubbled
  13. put this in suggestions, I also use chief for D&D and I like the suggestion
  14. Tagging onto mikes response I second Dropbox, no comparison to iCloud OneDrive or Google drive. I prefer blender over sketchup especially for its decimation tools and voxel modeling but if you know sketchup stick with sketchup. I use onenote but fan of Evernote. I use cursor AI for system design, i.e. folder organization and standardization. Hardware Logitech G604 is the greatest mouse ever created..I think the internet agrees, it's discontinued and sells for a 500 % markup from original MSRP. It's a 14 button mouse with antighosting and macro programmable keys Spacemouse pro wireless for your left hand. John schrader of chief experts has done some extensive troubleshooting of its problems in Chief and I think got it working perfectly. Might want to reach out to him Streameck is a great device. I use the radial menus of the spacemouse in conjunction with modifier keys on my g604 giving a potential 500+ hotkeys with on screen graphics.

  15. I'll be at the booth all day Wed the 18th for anyone that wants to come say hi and talk shop, learn some new tricks, or have some laughs with the chief sales floor crew and I
  16. Just FYI mark you no longer have to change the Y origin as that shifts the origin of the symbol, they added an additional function to change the inset. This makes it so that you can insert it into a cabinet OR insert without a cabinet without the Y offset messing up placement for one or the other
