  1. I'm surprised Chief hasn't fixed the pdf thing for Mac,s yet. I think they said it was a vendor problem and not theirs a while ago. You can re-scan them as "PNG" and that should work for you, or just have them send it as a PNG file to you. I am glad I'm not having that problem. It's nutty.
  2. Jim, do you live around here or do plans from out of the area? I have never tried a foundation from a footprint in fact I have never used the footprint or a cad detail for a foundation.
  3. It boils down to this if you want your foundation and basement level on the same plan use "0" for basement. If you want a separate foundation plan use level 1 for your basement. I have so many things on the foundation plan (required in this area)I simply can't use level "0" for basement plans.
  4. I do agree and have said in other posts, not to use level 0 for basement's, for those that need a foundation plan. I still want the credit from Keith though. Stealing my thunder is against the law.
  5. Is it turned on in the preferences ?
  6. There is already a crosshead in the lib.
  7. You can copy a layerset from any layerset you have if you want it to look like a drawing in the background, just re-name it to say" reference roof plan" or something that makes since to you. Then you line weights and style will match your plan.
  8. My re-size text problem has been solved . Screwing with hotkeys was the culprit. I tried it,now ,no hotkeys for me. Reset--done. Dennis, You could reset to factory settings or what I've done in the past, just use the generic Microsoft drivers.
  9. Dennis, what mouse? I have Logitech performance MX
  10. Joe I don't know, it doesn't work for me. Do you have the" re-size default behavior" checked or just "Default behavior" checked? I have just "Default" behavior checked.
  11. Also, I use to be able to resize text by holding down the "x" key and re-sizing it. It doesn't work that way anymore. You now must click the re-size default then re-size the text, they have added another 2 clicks--not good.
  12. You can do a room molding p-line to get the base and crown exactly where you want it. I know it would be nice to have it done automatically. Chief will do it correctly on a stub wall, that was a fix in X6, I believe. As you say it does show in 3d good though.
  13. Sorry, that a-cad talk, we don't understand that here.
  14. You got that right but I like the new wall material region instead of a p-solid b/c it will remove the drywall material underneath for a more accurate material list , like I ever use that.
  15. I see you have a 30" ceiling and floor structure, how did you create that, might make a difference. Something doesn't look right with those.
  16. I wonder why we have to go through hoops just to add some notes to schedule items, it is a bit confusing?
  17. Lew, maybe you just need to read the manual. Every printer won't last forever, they all do it.
  18. You can make railings out of molding p-lines and adjust the moldings in-out and up down using the DBX input. Scott has some video's on this at chieftutor.com or maybe his YouTube channel
  19. Try the Nvidia control panel for that.
  20. Brother makes a line of 11 x 17 printers. I have the "MFC-J67100W without any problems and WI-FI.
  21. Did you delete or turn off everything inside the homes before making a symbol of it?
  22. Are your angle snaps on. I keep them on all the time and just hit the control key when I need something off the normal angles.
