DRAWZILLA

I may have created a couple of the same text styles for different types of plans. For me its all automatic so say, I have a 1/2" scale plan which needs smaller text size, so just create another text style just for that occasion. They are all part of the anno-sets so, automatic and I never need to think about that again.. I guess I could have labeled it better but like I say, "What the H***". I always use "Use layer for text style b/c its a lot easier to change it there if you need to.

Did you accidently toggle off the "Color" button

I use 13 extra text styles for things like all the different labels used in the plans, others include Doors, electrical, Mainly I use them for text size so it's automatic and use layer text size for all.

I was exactly where you are, many years ago.

Here is where you can adjust them

You need to put the plan in a zip folder to send it , also the chief plan must be closed before zipping it.

I'm sure if you could post the actual Chief plan it would be more useful for helping you.

Rod, turbo -cad (IMSI) bought Design-cad and let Design cad die on the vine. Why would they need 2 cad programs, we knew that when IMSI bought it.

It's called Design Cad, did hundreds of jobs on it a long time ago, you can get it for $50 bucks now. They are letting it die on the vine.

The program I showed also has the auto hide feature, I just kept it up to see it.

Lew, is this what your talking about? very short video http://screencast.com/t/AkxvfGx7cp

Maybe Johnny should wait until X7 comes out before commenting.

Not my fault, the computer did it.

It's a valence, Check the lib. for one. you can also create one from a p-solid and it also can be a molding added to the cabinet.

Come on Lakers, Oh--never mind.

David, I think some in your list are Super power users b/c I know I'm still learning from most of them.

here he is

yes, we have had one for many years here and he has a crazier aviator, than your Yuotube one.. You know who.

OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARN'T THINKING. Chief is by far the best thing for $2,500.00. If you want "GUI", go ahead and pay min. $6,000.00 for it then. Your Choice, you can't compare a $2,500 program with a $6,000 min. program. They can't possibly be the same. All I hear is "I want, I want". Then go pay for it.

Don't they know that the plan is pretty much done at that point. Seems stupid to me. For me, building the model takes the most time, the rest is easy.

Could be a video card problem also.

I would go for the framing, although stairs would be nice.

I just use the ceiling and floor beam tools

I also just use a railing wall made from the shower wall. By using a railing wall , I can adjust the top rail to be metal trim if need be, and the bottom rail as the bottom shower curb. If I need a pony wall next to the sink cabinet, then I use a p-solid for that. for the tile walls, I use a the material region tool so I can have it my way.

You can also make your own symbols. Scott hall has many videos on this at chieftutor.com
