  5. Didn't you say you couldn't wet set in your post?
  6. I'm in California and we wet set anchors on every job. you really should wet set all holdowns bolts also, although you can drill them in after, You will need a special inspection with each hole you drill --costly.

  9. I have seen hangers on many of the new videos lately, That's not something easily done so I hope they are new automatically done.
  10. I put all interior walls on a different layer than exterior walls so I can just turn everything off except one layer of walls and select them all at once. You can set the layers in the wall defaults so it's automatic
  11. Just change the floor structure in the room DBX to what you need it to be. with auto foundation on , it will change automatically. With auto foundation off , you can draw the footings manually.

  19. i use Joe Carrick's site analysis package, saves a ton of time ,I also use lots of other macro's he has made.
  20. Until Chief comes up with radius corners without using a curved wall, it's just too much trouble for me to mess with.
  21. search reference sets, I have been doing it that way for many years.
  22. I have noticed over the many years that Chief will tax your computer a little more with each new version.
  23. these could be on a reference layer if you are using one.
  24. What are your computer specs? you can add it to your signature. I still say its on your end
