  1. Too many sync issues, too many file locking issues, redundency checks, conflicted copies, etc. Dropbox is worlds apart...and I am a G-Suite guy
  2. I've gone through a 1000 setups. I am a very very advanced cloud user. Either a NAS or Dropbox...onedrive/google drive are crap. Don't try and setup a single sync data folder..It's a logistical nightmare. Every approach will be a process...nothing will ever simply be seemless until chief updates with their cloud Project Managements thats been in development for 3+ years 1 method..my preferred method for teams other than my own: Share a dropbox folder do NOT rename the plan files rename the folders containing plan and layout to track your versioning copy paste an entire version folder and rename folder for next iteration of the project's design export all material files for the project into your version folders Thats it, easy peasy. Cons: File Bloat..archive it and offline revious versions(selective sync)
  3. simple-ish..takes 10-30 minutes
  4. a lot more goes into it..turn auto build roofs and foundations off, roof overhang settings, floor to floor defaults, cabinet defaults, material defaults...etc
  5. What would you like to see in the stair tool?
  6. happy to, shoot me an email renerabbitt@gmail.com or call 925 300 7004
  7. Probably different encoder settings, one more gpu intensive, what sample rate are you running in chief?
  8. What is your sample rate at? What are your encoder settings for the recording software?
  9. some design inspo there
  10. You could also create a custom window if you want more of the louvered pantry look: Can be complicated to create though
  11. You could also just place the individual letters and rotate around a point using the corresponding edit mode
  12. Hey Neighbor! If you have your dimensions defaults setup really well it should be no issue to bring a dimension string through while zoomed. You could take a look at your reach settings there as well as some other settings. Yes click and drag..I would HIGHLY recommend picking up the spacemouse pro wireless, as this no longer becomes an issue...thats a left hand mouse to go along with your right hand mouse and makes navigating in 3d and 2d a breeze. BTW you could draw a continuous line and this would give you a point to point placement on everything past the initial line segment.
  13. @Dermotchief content over here calling you out on stairs , hehe
  14. Some of these are not properly modeled. Here is a elevation view of the end cut of a volute with the molding profile overlayed:
  15. any chance you would post these on my discord server? https://discord.gg/9R3KZ53mXK
  16. **Quick Tips for Copying Elements Between Floors in Chief Architect** *Published by Rabbitt Design* *Date: December 22, 2023* *Category: Architectural Design Software Tutorial* *Video Length: 1 minute and 16 seconds* **Introduction** We start with a festive greeting and dive into a quick, useful tip for using Chief Architect software. The focus is on copying elements from one floor to another in a 3D view, specifically demonstrating how to replicate windows from the second to the third floor. **Copying Technique in 3D View** We demonstrate the simple process of copying elements in a 3D environment. The video shows how to use the Edit Toolbar to copy and paste elements. We emphasize the ease of this process, highlighting the copy and paste options in the toolbar. **Pasting on a Different Floor** Next, we illustrate the process of navigating to a different floor level and using a hotkey for the 'paste hold position' function. This ensures that the copied elements are accurately placed on the third floor, directly above their original position on the second floor. **Final Result and Quick Tip Conclusion** We conclude by showing the final placement of the windows on the third floor, which align perfectly with the floor below. The video ends with a reinforcement of how quick and efficient this method is for duplicating elements in Chief Architect. **SEO Search Terms:** Chief Architect tutorial, copying in 3D architecture software, quick design tips, efficient floor duplication, architectural software shortcuts, 3D view editing, Chief Architect window replication.

  17. Not understanding what you are referring to. A double click where specifically? You're opening a material from your library ot edit it and then trying to do what? or?
  18. just place a symbol that is a 3way from your library,otherwise you need to edit the CAD block and add your annotation for the symbol you are trying to modify. Use CAD Lines set to the electrical connections layer to depict a connection between floors
