  1. Just move the diamond at the top and they will re-size the column and the image size. You can also check the scale box in the schedule DBX.
  2. I have 12 gb of ram and it really made my system quite a bit faster.
  3. Sometimes I just put the cad block in plan view when I'm in a hurry but no 3d then. Fix it later so I can get them in the schedule
  4. If you send as vector view, plot lines, you will get layer line thickness control settings. Live views you can't.
  5. Those have never worked unless they recently fixed them. they never sat on the cabinet in 3d view they were always 5" away from the cabinet face and had to be adjusted in the symbol DBX. It was that way forever.
  6. At this time Chief doesn't address battered walls ( sloping face). You would have to create it using p-solids or roof planes or a molding p- line. I have seen some others do it but it takes some work that is very custom.
  7. I think it's possible automatically Set the different pitches in the wall DBX
  8. I have done it lots, you just have to go through it and address any new items and check your layers and defaults, preferences.
  9. I thought the line stayed, but I guess not. The text would be added just like normal text. I really never use it anyway but it would solve a lot of others problems who want the line to stay, if it did.
  10. I think the release should be early Feb. like it has been for a while now unless there is a problem.
  11. So you used windows or doorways and I can see the posts are symbols, how about the walls, are the pulled up from the bottom?
  12. In X8 you can select the dim. and open the DBX go to segment and select blank segment, then add whatever dim. you want in the space. Not accurate though.
  13. The only flying buttress I ever saw was when Penny clears me out of the room.
  14. Thanks Glen, I forgot about archives.
  15. I would never give out plan files with anyone, send him a pdf.
  16. When you open & save them in X8, they will automatically update but you may have some things to fix and you can't go back, that's why you copy first .
  17. It would be nice if Chief would automatically shut off lights not in the scene for RT's
  18. I add light sources to brighten scene's up. I put them everywhere.
  19. I wouldn't change the system callouts for 1 client, he needs to learn how it's done. He seems a little green to me.
  20. Larry, try to replace the macro on page "0" maybe they change it somewhat. I have found in the past that sometimes they have changed the macro.
  21. I'm not experiencing that, but I use the "A" letters with the page numbers. Not sure what is going on with yours.
  22. If that view is tied to a camera then the view could be pixelated on the layout, this is a new method Chief is using for quicker viewing. Don't worry though b/c it will actually print at high resolution.
  23. Those manual's are included with the program, in PDF form, which you can print yourself or pay extra for a printed version. The good thing about PDF's are they are searchable for quick viewing and printing if you might need that.
