DRAWZILLA

I also have a whole existing plan section with existing camera views just for the existing, but I also need the referenced plan under the new remodeled plan, not really a fan of how chief does it. kind of have my own method.

I draw an existing plan first, then copy that plan as new, then draw the remodel and use the existing plan as a reference plan under the remodeled plan. The trick is to create a new layer set that just has only the items showing, that you want to show. Basic cad like lines so when you make changes the referenced plan under will show. Remove a wall existing wall under will show. There is more than that but it is basically what you want to show, cabinets, fixtures etc.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Hi Brian, I thought the problem might be my mouse, so I’ve left it off ever since. I’m not sure if anyone has fixed it. I have a Logitech MX4 mouse.

Brian nope, not what I turned in. had to do with screen jumping and I was told to turn auto scroll off and it would be fixed in a future fix

I turned in a report a while ago, and support told me the issue was the automatic‑scrolling setting in Chief. They said they would fix it. That’s what sticks with me.

you might try turning off the auto scroll function in preferences. worked for me.

thanks for the info

has anyone tried the latest new release (today 7-28-26), is it working?

try moving the terrain to the lower level

is x17 also crashing? if so, It's your video card driver. install the one from april, they are having problems with the latest drivers.

wish I had read this before I upgraded.

I use a Logitech mx4 for the actual drawing, and I also use a Contour roller-mouse red extended for the extra buttons.

Hopefully X18 will have the cloud built into the program.

open up the camera dbx and you see the backclipped adjustment and the framing backclipped adjustment checkboxes and amount needed area.

HOW DID YOU GET ONE They said they haven't released it yet.

In that case just use the framing backclipped tool and not use the regular backclipped tool.

You can also just use the backclipped tool in each camera's dbx. set it to 20" or so and it will pick up 1 truss. there is also a framing backclipped tool to do it.

If so, use an "opening no material" on a correctly sized soffit if you want the rafters to show.

I would also like to be able to fade out from back to front.

You could also try the "poche" tool in the camera DBX, it will also fill the walls

try moving the roof to the 2nd floor, then the walls will be held back to that level.

Well, I hope they fix that and I might join you, I just like the thought of knowing back up is handled without leaving my computer on all night long.

Don't use project management, problem solved. I have been using Carbonite for 20+ years and it backs up as I use the program, don't even notice.

Yep, every line had to be drawn, sometimes with ink.
