  1. Maybe your internet provider has a limit on download sizes ,but to me it would seem that file isn't that big. It downloads ok for me
  2. But if you use reference sets as part of your printed plan, like I do a lot, you have to use draw first so the floor you are trying to show, will print last and over the top of any reference items.
  3. Ross, I can't argue with that other than I will use the auto roof as a start then modify from there, it's just faster for me.
  4. I have seen that before usually with slabs in the foundation
  5. The use of "Anno-sets" are perfect for that. one click and done
  6. Using a "Room finish schedule" will give you all the square footages and total them up for you, as long as you have the s.f. included in the schedule. You can also just include just the one item( square footage) and it will only show that if that's all you want to include. Of course you can have many different schedules in the plan. I'm not sure if HDP has schedule's though
  7. WITHOUT SEEING THE PLAN, it looks like the higher walls are just gable end walls that are going higher b/c the roof isn't stopping the walls. A wall will seek a roof plane to stop it from going higher. Try to finish the roof that you want.
  8. yes the bonus lib. has many more
  9. Yep, this is not something automatic in Chief, lots of custom stuff --p-solids. Too much to explain here
  10. Your right Glen, I haven't done it b/c ,here we never use the perimeter mono slab insulation, we make it up in a multitude of ways in the Calcs. No one around here really want to add the insulation at that spot b/c you can see it and weathers very badly and looks bad, and too much trouble. You would think that would work though.
  11. You may have to use the edit-floor area and select the entire 2nd floor and use the point to point method to place it directly over the 1st floor.
  12. You can add a blank layer to your deck wall definition to push the wall outside the foundation line. You may have to set "foundation to here" to the outside of the blank layer.
  13. Just add it to your foundation wall definition, and use that wall in your mono slab, here in California it required unless you can make it up somewhere else using the computer method of calculations.
  14. here is one I got a log time ago from tommy washer-dryer hookup box.calibz
  15. Michael tried but can't get it to work either
  16. I run the killer card without any problems, but I am wired using 300mbs, virtual reality baby
  17. I find that a lot of those nasty vector view lines will disappear when you print to pdf.
  18. Depends on if you have a macro in the room labels, or just turn the layer off
  19. Yes Scott, that's it, you know Chief has gotten better over the years with dormer type walls. It use to be a lot more trouble. Putting those little triangle walls in the upper attic works all the time, you da man buddy.
  20. Scott, I also do it your way. Slab to stem wall has never worked for me, it reduces the stem wall when I don't want it to. That extra scoop footing along side of the stem wall works until Chief fixes this long, long, forever time problem.
  21. Larry, I would say ,you should do it anyway for lots of other reasons
  22. I would also be interested but try to stay away from landscaping of any kind.
  23. When Glen and Scott are there, I always learn something
