    Wait for the Surface Book 3, one of the few options that check all of the boxes you just mentioned

    Open to new work. I've been working remotely for clients for years and can easily navigate the issues that present themselves from remote work. I have plenty of references and videos demonstrating my various services. The following images are snippets from my site at www.RabbittDesign.net I offer training-while-drafting services in Chief Architect as well as training in Sketchup, Thea Render, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Procreate. I tend to cater to experienced designers and drafters in Chief Architect, many of which benefit from and are quite pleased with anno/layer sets, library items, toolbars, and a more cohesive folder structure and .plan and .layout files. A few hours of my service may cut hours off of every project you have going forward. Feel free to check out my YouTube channel dedicated to all things drafting, designing, modeling and rendering in my signature below. Take a look at some of my recent design work in the Gallery Also, take a look at the extensive Free Content Thread and continued free content YouTube Series:

    I think the trick Ryan is mentioning from that post is for a preemptive workaround vs the fix after the issue occurs: "The only work around I know of is to switch from auto width , expanding the width of the text box manually and hitting the return key to fudge your text box width.....thus negating the word wrap" " A simple text marco will word wrap correctly to its formatted rich text box width" Those methods can be used to avoid the issue all together for anyone interested. Though I find them to be more cumbersome for my workflow...Easier to marque select similar,select all, hit ctrl+e, then alt+enter.

    I just opened it on my end, no issue saving it to library as the the correct dimension and dropping it in. I could login to your computer and help a bit later when my household wakes up(we partied last night)

    @rgardner Not in front of it right now but try unchecking Interior Door Spec/Framing/Header/Default and see if that works

    You're importing your anno sets every time then? Just my two cents, the new X-12 Save As Template tool is absolutely fantastic. I do most of my keynotes, schedules, details in CAD Details.. the new Save As Template can retain my CAD Details and delete all unwanted geometry etc. Love it!

    Eric beat me to it. I was doing the same thing, anytime there is an issue just copy and paste to the default Residential template. No problem on my end drawing this exact same house. Something somewhere is goofed up in your plan...maybe Wall Types.

    @Lighthouse Temp Dimensions follow your Active Dimension Defaults. Consider making a new dimension default with 1/4" arrows

    @dshall AND @Kiwideziner Those symbols relate specifically to the symbol classification of the available snap point types as it relates to the proximity of your cursor. Circle being a center point and square being an end point. If two snap types exist for one point, the program will use the "Extension Color" designated in your Preferences/Edit/Snap Properties/Snap Indicators.

    Maybe I’m missing something. I did want baseboard in the bathroom, just not against the curb. Is that what you’re saying we can do now? Edit: ah I see it now. Nice!

    Thanks Kbird- I forgot to address this but my SHWR room in the style pallette did not have room moldings so they were removed when I applied it to the room. You can see it in the video..there were a few tricks I didn't mention..oops I'll try and upload the shower glass texture tomorrow

    Either make room polylines for every room including the "exterior room" or create a reference plan

    Thank you kind sir. I personally use my Library 90% of the time I am designing or drafting. I periodically update symbols in my library from Chief's updated items.I would say that I am well outside of the norm in this regard. I tend to improve Chiefs symbols substantially, and catered to my workflow. So even if Chief updates its symbols they are still of lesser value to me than my own modified version. I have 5 naming conventions I use throughout the several-100K files I store outside of chief that I carry to inside of my library. They change dependent on the level of importance in the sort order. "/" indicates a folder level. /(date)-(version/stage)/(name) i.e. /200330-DRVA/MOSSWOOD.plan /(date)-(version/stage)-(name) i.e. /200330-DRVA-MOSSWOOD.pdf /(classification)-(name) i.e. /Door-Green /(class)/(classification)/(name) i.e. /Doors/Green/2868-LH-OUT.calibz /name+folder of assets of the same name i.e. Door-Green.calibz and Door-Green/Diffuse, Roughness, AO, Sketchup file etc. Keep in mind that my best laid plans for naming conventions tend to get modified every 5 years or so. Also my actual filing system is far more complicated when you consider storing assets that comprise symbols/jobs/materials/photos etc. I would encourage users to spend some time setting up filters. It makes a huge difference. Also, maybe of interest to anyone here that designs for several different municipal/county requirements, you can make a separate user library for separate jurisdictions. So that if I am designing in California my windows all carry macros with specific energy code requirements.

    Add search attributes as you go. I also personally like to name in ALL CAPS to distinguish my symbols. I make duplicate symbols and store in multiple places that would be common to my workflow i.e. wet location LED in BATHROOM folder and LIGHTING folder. I add the last date the symbol was updated to comments in the symbol. Helps me keep up with symbols that contain macros or custom fields.

    Importing windows and creating windows has been a problem in the program a very long time... still wish I could make my custom Marvin Windows work correctly.

    I doubt you will have much luck in this venture, I am only aware of a few high schools that use the software in curriculum. It would take years for CA to be accredited curriculum for an Architects license, keep in mind it isn't just the residential sector that you have to learn to become an Architect. Drawing a few house plans is only a very very small segment of what it takes to own that $30K+ stamp. On top of a BA you need to past a host of tests and complete 1000's of NCARB hours under a licensed professional. It's a goal of mine as well, but don't expect to have tutelage in CA, I could almost guarantee it doesn't exist. I personally get plansets through my local county/municipalities without an architects stamp for most of the remodels and additions I draft for using the prescriptive code.

    Guess I should be more careful about my vector lines, doesn't look as great in watercolor :/
