  1. if you print in Grayscale, like I always do, you have to keep your colors on the dark side or they will print too light.
  2. You can also just change one roof plane at a time to whatever you want the spacing to be. Just select any roof plane and click on the little framed building at the bottom in the edit toolbar and change it.
  3. Ben, by chance did you bring your template forward from a previous version. For me, in X8 I had to re-create new templates from the profile plans and layouts, haven't had any problems since.
  4. it all depends on what color you hatch is and what line thickness you use. The line could get lost if you use a light color or a very thin line or both.
  5. I think the isles should be sloped but the seating area should be stepped not sloped
  6. Are you using a template layout from the "profile layout" in X8 ? There could be a difference as spoken from Chief themselves. I had to recreate them myself when X8 arrived. No bringing forward this time around.
  7. It is mapped to f-10 on a pc.
  8. I don't think Chief was developed to design Concert venue's even though I'm sure someone could do it. I would use some other program that does commercial better.
  9. A music venue can be square can't it
  10. I though he was talking section view and a garage would most likely have parallel sides
  11. Isn't that what a ramp is? Ramps are not parallel.
  12. remove the floor in the room DBX and use a ramp as the floor. Not exactly sure what your condition is though.
  13. You can just set up a room finish schedule to show that. you can set up a lot of other things in it, like square footage, and it will total it automatically.
  14. What power supply do you have ,how many watts? Sounds like a heat problem in your computer, Make sure the fans are running and clean your fans and vacuum it out. It also could be a power supply is failing. Or your power supply is too little for your equip. you are trying to run. Just guessing
  15. no, if you have a surface you can use Chief from that
  16. You can also just use a bearing line as a separator.
  17. I always start a job using the proposed plan and when I'm done drawing the existing, I do a save as existing plan ,from the proposed plan. Then you never have to re-send or rename anything. You just keep drawing the proposed and it keeps generating to the layout. I would just send the existing plan to its page
  18. You may have to raise or lower the roof planes, if not set to "auto rebuild roof planes.
  19. Did you have the setting on performance or balanced?
