  1. Export your project to Dropbox and sharit..just keep in kind you may want to delete the project from project management after you export since it will be an outdated copy once your colleague imports and works on it
  2. You CAN however safely write a script for task scheduler to backup these files to another drive when chief architect is not running
  3. The backup takes a long while and it prompts you before it performs and it will lock you out of using Chief until it completes. You would know it if it were backing up
  4. Of happens when using custom wall types as well. Use the edit area tool and paste into new plan is the only way I know how to save the work
  5. I believe I responded to this previously and never heard back. Years have passed of course, but I could offer this service for you easily enough:
  6. Yes completely agree..you were there last year when dan baumann asked for that in class. Specifically for wall stepping. Also would be great if we could just set any object to cut finish layer including default room moldings. Then your custom molding would be perfect
  7. The reason I don't do a pony wall method is because often times I need to use a pony wall for other reasons, such as a brick pony wall Otherwise yes this works
  8. What method are you using to derive ceiling heights?
  9. send me the scan and I can take a look. click on the link that says "colorized" which will download a sizable zip file. Upload it to the cloud and kick it over to renerabbitt@gmail.com and I will post a video here to illustrate why it may not have worked. If it is workable I will give you a fair price on converting it or you can of course get some other pricing in the seeking services
  10. Sorry for the harshness in my writing. mildly frustrated but certainly not an issue I created Hard links to my unmanaged substance folder so that will work. Would be nice to handle subfolders in this system better still if it could be navigated in the way that the library browser can be navigated and organized...nudge nudge. I have 500 SBSAR files, haha
  11. Why would you manage a folder that has the ability to automatically load custom substance maps? This is the only way for us to populate all of our substance graphs in the drop down menu of that utility...which is the main benefit of this feature. Please consider not managing the folder or giving us some way of choosing a substance folder the same way we can choose our unmanaged backdrops folder
  12. just send the view as a stacked view, you dont technically need to ever send a plan with a reference view. you can always just stack views in layout if you prefer
  13. Imagine painting on estimating logic with a palette tool and having your material generation report exact cost data — directly inside your template. Check it out and future-proof your workflow with some serious automation power!

  14. This is an older one that isn't taking advantage of the new gizmo they have shown:
  15. 250806 (2).mp4
  16. use the gable line tool, put some other pitch in there and then change it again to 5. its a glitch
  17. I'm already bothered by the latency of a 60hz monitor...that lag would drive me bonks!!
  18. Yes.. the parametrically resizable qualities of the door tool make it so that you can dynamically model any mfr or custom bath door
  19. this is a good one, I had been doing this for years as part of my template I am sure I have a video on it somewhere, its nice to be able to do barn door style shower doors in this way too. You can use a door and have a threshold and can get even more clever with closed shutters etc. Nowadays I do it with a cabinet though
  20. Chief you gave us a directory where we could put our SBSAR files to be auto parsed into Chiefs new substance builder, but when installing the latest update, you deleted all of my custom sbsar files for which I unfortunately did not have a backup. So you did two things wrong...you deleted a directory or files that you should never delete, and you did not include my sbsar files in your backup system. I will report
