  1. Is the library a tool? Hundreds of items there.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Is it turned on in the preferences ?
  7. There is already a crosshead in the lib.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Dennis, what mouse? I have Logitech performance MX
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Sorry, that a-cad talk, we don't understand that here.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I wonder why we have to go through hoops just to add some notes to schedule items, it is a bit confusing?
  18. Lew, maybe you just need to read the manual. Every printer won't last forever, they all do it.
  19. 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
  20. Try the Nvidia control panel for that.
