The "gas curb" was a code during the BOCA code book era. IRC has no provision for height change only pitch. My hoarder officemate and I got in an argument, and he went back to his 80's code books to find the code.

I have an existing conditions plan that the customer wants to add a fireplace and a dormer.

Other than a save as drawing is there a way to add them as options on the current plan as an option that can be turned off or on individually or both or do i need 4 drawings?

thank you DBCooper

Went on the website and the Home Designer Pro certainly looks and sounds like a prior version on Chief Architect. Am I not seeing something?

What is the difference between Home Designer and Chief Architect? Other than a major price difference.

It was a corrupt Windows Installer Folder. Had to do a Windows Reset from the cloud (to get a clean version of Windows 11).

Windows Tech team got it figured out

For a while on another machine I was having a problem installing Chief from the download folder. If I copied the MSI file to the windows desktop it would work. Never figured out the problem, suspect it was a Win issue, but didn't care once I got it to work. Worth a try.

Thanks that didn't do it. I'm gonna have to waste the afternoon with tech support.

Had this message pop up. The installer is working properly. I installed 2 other programs to test. Only the X14 update brings this message and won't install.

Turned off all anti virus and tune up programs.

Just for fun, I opened and printed the  same layout in versions x7, x9, x10, x11, x12 & x13, to see the variations, version to version set to 600 dpi, the image below shows the results:

Attached are the PDF files I created in 600dpi for a client many years ago in X1. You can see the PDF's and you can see my PC specs. I used nothing except the provided "Chief Print to PDF" app everyone gets.

David your test file has no 3d or color work on it. The files we are talking about are presentation drawings. Most of us no longer produce simple line b&w.

I'm including a clip from a file that was pdf'ed in x12 last month and needed edits this am. the new file is 2x's plus larger than x12. I hope the powers to be can find time to fix this before the next pottery or sculpture libraries.
