Yes, definitely not a fan of compression and always prefer lossless...one of these days every website will have the bandwidth for 16K images etc.

I was just thinking that may be the case, thanks Graham!

I keep trying to upload to the gallery, in multiple browsers now. I keep getting this screen after processing: and then 3 images are missing and two show black screens

chime in

I'd be interested, you can take a look at some of my work here : www.behance.net/renerabbitt or in my gallery on these forums:

IMO additions create better margins. Existing is required for the most part in my municipalities/counties. An easy justification, " I need to verify existing conditions to better verify the structural mockup of your home" ...it's the same justification I give for taking a couple hundred pictures. So many instances where an addition turns into a kitchen remodel on the other side of the home.

He could also just delete the invisible wall and it will right itself, then draw a room divider. Still needs to manually place the crown as Rob said

Without opening the plan I'm guessing you used an invisible wall type. There are a number of ways to fix this... Curious what the actual structure of the home is. Is this actually a soffit, with the main structure at the higher elevation? then use the soffit tool.

I hear you, and I would usually nod, apologize, and completely agree with the sentiment of threadjacking, but I think toolbars and touchpads built for hotkeys are absolutely on point of the original thread if I were to infer the intended outcome of the thread. My response was always going to be why have a top 5 when 30 are easy to setup, especially in response to someone who uses none. Hoping this ends up being eye opening for him. My top 5: 1) Select Contained Objects 2) Select Intersected Objects 3) Tab 4) A custom plan view selector macro 5) An 8 button snap toggle

Good spot, I offer recording work sessions as a service for training purposes. The icons are there just for an active visual representation of the tools being used. I charge more for this service as it is obviously slower to produce CD's while actively training and clicking icons. Seems to be more of a cost benefit for people than 1 on 1 live training. Minus the computer underneath, it got relocated last year to a data closet. Just missing a calculator, a ruler, and a cup of coffee

My brain can't remember more than 20 hotkeys..my touchpad has a graphical representation of several hundred. I swipe right and have another full page of hotkeys from framing, swipe again and I have materials...my touchpad is infinite, and works with a host of different programs. There is a new app on the apple app store for iPad that can produce a touchpad using chiefs icons...I just haven't found the time to program it yet. I have a video illustrating this exact idea :

Your shed is platform framed? your lower shed roof isn't hung from a ledger attached to framing? As for your floor framing, do you have a detail, is it not framed in some fashion similar to this detail?:

You can always make a style palette from your user library anywhere you please and then add your symbols, rooms etc to an existing palette

Dropbox has changed considerably in regards to file locking and authoring. Do you have your CA installed in a dropbox folder? Look at your folder paths under edit/preferences/folders/

There is one in the core catalogs, search library for "Garden"

There are a few problems with this model. I would encourage you set floor defaults for your conditioned spaces, and let the barn and stables be the rooms to not follow defaults. Take a look at a template plan for reference, you have floor structure elements in floor surface designations and different size floor framing than your default structure. You should be balloon framing the barn with the occasional interior lower wall type with abutting roof. Something in your wall type is creating an artifact above your lower shed roof. I would typically try and help guide you through, but a few too many problems for Pro bono work, forgive me Study the videos and study template plans etc. Also think about how you would actually build this structure, Chief is more than capable of producing an accurate pole barn

I think you have answered your own question. I was trying to grasp what the question was. If your converted conditioned floor area has a floor, framing, substructure/sheathing etc. then you do in fact have a floor below. Uncheck floor below and auto-frame...unless I am missing the issue.Cheers

You have a default base molding that is set to 48" in you room specification/moldings/ DBX

Just a note Can always create it then export the calibz for your archives and delete from the library. Import it as needed.

OK thank you!

Just curious Joe, was my understanding that California doesn't accept REScheck, am I missing out?

Ha, I wish! but then again your helmet would probably 'splode my computer on those rough days The sad part is, I found a better DIY touch interface, I have to program it all over again...if I ever get around to it, anyone could download it to ios and have it work ootb

Why not print the actual icons? In PC: Program Files/Chief Architect/Chief Architect Premier X12 (64 Bit)/Resources/Buttons/ Not sure about Mac, use finder to search "Buttons"
