  1. Tinadelllic, I'd like to take you up on your offer - I'd like to know how you managed to get RESCheck to pass (Could you share your REScheck file with me?)... I have a similar conundrum. Kyle is correct, one could always use the prescriptive code and RESCheck would not be required. Unfortunately not all building officials got that memo (or actually read the code which explains why they can't require a RESCheck when the prescriptive code is shown to comply on the plans. My email is John@JohnJonesAIA.com if you are willing to reach out with help - thanks!
  2. I've been a Chief evangelist for many years, and there are likely dozens of Chief Users out there because of my recommendations. So, probably a stupid question, but does Chief offer any referral rewards/discounts to either the recommender or the buyer these days? I have another friend who's interested, and if I could save them a few bucks, it would be nice. (And the right thing for Chief to do...).

  4. I'm late to the conversation, but wondering if anyone is successfully running Chief on an Ipad Pro with M1 chip? This wouldn't be my main machine, but could be a nice-to-have when traveling, etc.
  5. TeaTime, thanks for giving a clear visual explanation of how linetypes work. That helps! John
  6. Thank you. With everything else improving so much with Chief, this should have been tackled by now...
  7. This one has driven me nuts since forever, but finally to the point where I expect there should be solution. Please see the square footing lines. Is there a way for me to get 4 equal lines, with dashes equally centered, on each side of this square? If not, there should be by now... thanks in advance!
  8. Hi Mick, I did start with Lenovo and continue to look. As Rene pointed out, getting high end graphics into a 2 in 1 seems to be tricky! Best, John
  9. Thank you again! My current 2 in 1 is a Lenovo yoga (I think RTX 1050 graphics). It has been the longest lasting most durable laptop I've ever owned over a 20 year period of laptops including a really cool mini Fujitsu back in the day, a Sony Vaio, a Samsung, and an ASUS (that sucker really ran hot!!!). I hope Lenovo comes out with something... I appreciate your feedback!
  10. BTW, I've considered this, but I'm not sure if the way it "assembles" would have the comfort/rigidity I'd want when I use it in "laptop mode".... ASUS Flow Z13 GZ301 13.4" Touch-Screen 2-in-1 Laptop Intel Core i7 16GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 512GB SSD GZ301ZC-PS73 - Best Buy
  11. Thank you, Rene and Kbird1, for your comments... I realize I should re-phrase my wants/intentions better: This won't be my main production laptop. I have an HPOmen desktop less than a year old with an NVidia RTX 3080, and it seems to be running just fine for my needs. Almost all Chief Design and production will be done on this, or by consultants on their machines. the 2in1 I'm looking for will be for when i travel, and when I'm at a client's home and likely hovering around the model in 3D. It's not for high end rendering quality design; it's more about giving them a "good enough" visual of the spaces we've designed for them. The 2in1 part comes in as I may use it for sketching, having the client sign documents in person. etc. I want to have the 2-in-1 touch screen for these and other uses. That said, do you think a lesser card like a 3050 or 3060 would suffice? Does this information change your answers? As always, thanks so much!!!
  12. Lightweight (3.5 pound and under), 2 in 1, touch screen, Nvidia 40 series.... I'll start there. Can't find one. Can anyone help? Thanks!
