DRAWZILLA

With each new version comes a shorter drawing time with more information.

The only problem with the soffit tool is that it won't frame anything, for those of you that need to show sections and framing plans

What photo????

If you read the release notes ,they have bug fixes in every update also.

I also see that but it doesn't bother me, I think I'll stick with it. First time I have ever had any problem with an NVidia update Beta or other.

Could be where the sun is, just move the sun to where you need it. It's in a shadow

By setting your line's to "0" in some of those settings, it helps greatly with the extra lines in watercolor w/ lines.

I like to create it with ceiling plane's so it frames, as it would in real life

Perry,

 

As far as I can tell, this is the only info available for a roof.

Maybe Jerry can squeeze more info out.

I know those numbers are in there somewhere b/c they exists in the roof DBX. but we may not be able to access them (locked) Chief please open all Ruby info for us.

You have to edit the material used. Copy the material and change the pattern and the texture to what you want.

That's new to me, thanks for the heads up.

let me guess, 2 schedules in the plan

if you use the stacking option I mentioned above you wont need to play with the ctrl key or the center tool either.... it will auto align

That is not correct, you will still need to align the windows, the stacking thing is, so the 2 windows won't show on the same plan, it grays the upper

window. I know it says a fixed glass window will align but not for me.

Block them together and the casing will show there or move them closer. Make sure your min separation is set to "0" in the window DBX.

Use the center tool and center the top window on the bottom in elevation view

I'm pretty sure you can do it with a macro, using the info already in Chief, That's something I would like to have.

The problem is that, the info you need is probably locked and only accessible to those who know how to get it.

Nice job guys, I hope to do that good when I grow up.

I also use Adobe X and not having that problem, so IMO it the setup either in chief or in Adobe. You could go to "help" in Adobe and hit repair and see if that does it.

"PDF" can be a vector or an image, try to save as a vector. You may not have any choice if its given to you.

I can't think of any way either. I wonder how bigger firms would even think of buying Chief as their main software but it works perfectly for me.

we have been trying to get "save in plan" to be the default for many years now.

Does it also have the Camera which in my opinion is a must have for daylight measurements.

I have an NVidia card  and running  337.88 the latest "whol"

look here

I have the D5 and it does everything I need except for the Bluetooth thing, A while ago I had to upgrade strictly b/c I couldn't read the old green screen very well anymore. The D5 has a black on white screen, very nice.
