  1. two of your new walls were listed as attic walls, change them to normal walls and uncheck no room definition and no locate, then you will get a roof and a floor.
  2. Post the actual plan file so we can see what you did. I have done thousands of additions without any problems, it might just be how you put it together or settings. it would also be easier to read if the new and existing walls were different color fil.
  3. You should use reference layers to see anything not on the current floor, go to chief's website and watch the videos
  4. Go to Chief's website and watch all the videos.
  5. make sure you turn on the monitors first then start your computer. I have a similar setup. it always starts on the left one first then switches to the right. Mine are also set to the same resolution and 4k
  6. try to open the material and change the line color to black, and increase the weight.
  7. I have drawn many plans in X16 without any problems a lot of them were brought forward from x15 preliminary plans.
  8. the room needs to be an open below room
  9. Create a custom countertop for that island and just break it and drag that end back.
  10. Yep it's also required here in California but also almost everything must be engineered here also so all that is on his calc's and drawings.
  11. nope if it's not a chief 3d model. you didn't say what kind of file you want to import.
  12. Need to learn everything about glass railings, codes, cad details, ICC approval? today from 11-12PT. AIA certs. very informative. If you can't make it, they will send you a replay. Direct from the manufacturer. sign up here https://lnkd.in/e2GNr5Fj
  13. I believe its a re-generate your terrain notice.
  14. i always have a second floor in my templates and even have a box second floor plan in my template plan . It makes it easy to delete if I don't need a 2nd floor. I would rather delete than add.
  15. or if you need the upper wall, make the upper wall invisible
  16. We used to be able to adjust the footings independently a few versions back, but now you can't very easily. not sure why it went away. It was really easy to manipulate the footings for pads etc.
  17. also those end walls really should be balloon frame thru ceiling, no separate attic walls.
  18. You can also add a transparent fill to the upper roof planes and adjust the transparency level so the bottom roof planes will have a lighter color line when under the upper roof planes.
  19. I think different resolutions between machines is the problem, this problem has been around forever and Chief is working on it.
  20. open the text string and close and that should fix it.
  21. change your existing house framing wall layer, in all existing walls, in the wall DBX to air gap and not framing. in all new walls leave the framing in.
  22. Battered walls is just something Chief does not do yet, you can add p-solids to get the look but in my opinion it's just too much trouble and extra time to do so I stay away from those projects.
  23. try opening the text style to adjust it, if you haven't already done so.
  24. check your text style setting in the correct layer those fixtures are on.
