Ok, thanks

Rene, sorry for my ignorance, but I cannot find the "default template" in Program Files for the PC. See my two screen shots. Again, my Wall Layers is corrupt in its current state.

Rene, I don't have a Default Settings in the DBX. It's asking to open the file on my PC. My file is corrupt as I deleted a lot of Wall Types. I need to find the CA default settings somewhere?

Rene, how do I get to this screen or dialogue box?

What do you recommend for reinstalling the entire pallet of Wall Types (42 or more) in X16? I deleted all but 15 Wall Types, and need to reinstall the defaults. Attaching the list of default Wall Types from X14

Many thanks for your help. All of the layers were combined and there was no "Main Layer" until moving these up. Now I have to find out how to get the full Wall Types back, as I only have 17 of the 40 default Wall Types. That's a question for a new thread.

I'm not following this comment, and attaching a screen shot of my wall properties. How can I correct this?

I've been trying to find out why there's a gap between the second and third floors of a hillside residence that I'm designing. I've tried to define the materials for floor support, etc., and cannot make the floor gap to close. Also tried stacking the second and third floors on top of each other (in lieu of staggered), and that didn't help either. Attaching screen shots and plan file for your review and comment.

Considering UpCodes, and wanted to find out from this group if they have specific details in CAD or if they're standard PDF's? Reason I'm asking is that it would be very helpful to be able to change the font type/size for the UpCodes details if needed. I've reached out to UpCodes for demo, and haven't heard back yet.

Lastly, this is a huge time saver by just clicking and selecting. No more hunting or scrolling down the Library Line Types to get what you need.

Steve - many, many thanks for this advice. It worked! These were my steps: 1. Create individual line types (cold water / hot water / Vacuum etc. ) 2. After creating the different lines on the Plan file, delete all of them to get back to blank template 3. Double-check the Line Type drop down menu to make sure they're all there 4. Save the new blank Plan file template and go into Preferences and point your New Plan File to this new template Thanks again Steve!!

Here's a screen shot of what I'm trying to load into the Line Type default

I've got a question regarding loading the entire Line Style library into a default plan file for Chief X15. Trying to load the entire "Basic Line Styles, HVAC, Plat, and Plumbing Line Styles into the drop down list of options to select. Currently have to select the Library tool, then scroll down to Line Styles, select the line needed, and go back to drawing. Completely baffled on how to load the full set of Line Styles into the plan file? The User Library for Line Styles has been downloaded and populated. Please see attachment for my current drop down selection.

Thanks Rene, as always. Attaching the Close Polyline button and finished roof for reference.

Good morning. I've been trying for the past 15-minutes to close a polyline for a fairly complicated roof. Tried removing "sections" and then piecing them together, tracing the perimeter and corners, making sure the "Connect CAD Segments" button is selected, and it will not close. Please see attached image of plan view looking down onto the roofline.
