  1. He needs to "backup entire plan".
  2. Yes indeed, that kind of overbuild can only be done manually.
  3. Can't too much work to get out by friday
  4. Gene, I can control the line weight but the whole thing is very dark, even the exterior ambient won't change anything.
  5. In the roof DBX you can set the ridge height anything you want and the pitch will change automatically.
  6. Lately ,I've had a problem for a while with watercolor and lines that are just too dark and no way to lighten them up espically the skys and terrain. Not sure why, might be a video driver. Using the latest Nvidia drivers. here is an example
  7. I think you have to create a foundation to get the floor default for that. If not it's a virtual Fake foundation based on the floor defaults.
  8. Singing is not allowed in this Forum.
  9. Scott is correct, I always have an extra floor, if not just for fireplace chimneys and more control of attic spaces.
  10. Typical renderings just don't print in B&W or Grayscale very good. Instead use watercolor with lines and tone down all the color settings. Color printing is still way too expensive. Anew tool with rendering and line drawing would be really nice for typical B&W and grayscale printing.
  11. Why would someone take on this project and wait for the plan geting approved to get paid--not me. Sounds like its out of your hands
  12. I have taken a truss as a template and changed the members in size to do this. There also is a "timber truss 1" in the lib.
  13. Did you make a reference layerset and is it turned on. Post the plan and so we could know exactly what's going on
  14. Barton, the answer is that if you want to change anything within the text, all instances of that macro changes with it. Like code references . Just open the ruby macro and change it there.. Scott, I'm happy to turn you on, anytime
  15. If you draw a wall over an attic wall it will remove the attic wall, in fact you can do this with any wall.
  16. I also use Adobe in a P.C. without any of those kinds of problems. I think it has to do with the add on (whatever they call it) that Chief uses for PDF's in the mac I don't think its Chief's fault though. They are working on it.
  17. Right now the apple products are experiencing problems with pdf's creating large files, Just ask Scott. Try a free pdf program and not use the built-in one Chief provides.
  18. Just turn off attic walls--no need to start over.
  19. Barton, text macro's are so easy to do, you just type it in and save it. Then you never have to save it again. Here is an example just copy it to your plan and open ruby and look at it. This is the easiest macros you can make. text macros samples.zip
  20. Listen to Gerry, he and Joe and some others are master macro makers.
  21. Camera's never copy transfer and never have, you can't copy them either. if you opened it in x6 then you might have to edit the camera's. There were changes in X6
  22. I know that if you have 2 monitors going and drag one plan to the other monitor, you then have 2 chief's going at the same time. Then if you drag it back it can look like that. One time I had 5 going at the same time.
