  1. Are you using Chief's built in PDF or another PDF program. I use adobe and never have any problems using 300 dpi (24x36) but you should be able to use 100 and still be good. That setting really doesn't do anything unless you plan on printing an extra large size print.. What you see on the monitor is 92 dpi and is all you need for that
  2. With interior doors, you just check interior and both are the same. If you want different sides with interior just go to the first page of the DBX and check different interior and exterior. Interior doors now have an exterior side also. Just uncheck it on the first page and they will both be the same
  3. Jared Yes, that is incorrect, to figure 1/2 walls on porches and garages, but its close enough for me, until fixed, whenever they get around to it. (a few s.f.) . I just use the room finish schedule to figure square footage w/ totals included. You can also include or not any room.
  4. Jim, I have also seen some problems lately with Auto-foundations where they slow down the program a lot, especially slabs. I have a ticket in now. I usually start off using auto-foundation, then turn it off but it is causing some problems lately. I will let everyone know what Chief says.
  5. I don't see any framing in either of those pdf's. Chief is all about layers, you can show anything in any view you want just by turning them on and off. Check your layers for those things and you have to frame it to show it. Turn on auto framing floors-ceilings / walls / roofs.
  6. It's all done with ceiling heights, that's where your roof will be placed. It should be automatic for you, if set up correctly, You shouldn't have to manually move tops of walls.
  7. Scott, are you back from fantasy land now ?
  8. If I understand you correctly, you can set up multiple page sizes using the layout anno-sets. put your different borders on separate layersets
  9. You have to setup each schedule to only show doors on that floor only. It's there, just check it.
  10. Do you have monolithic slab checked? I get that all the time until it's a room. Do your footings have the same main layer checked. Just guessing. I would remove that footing and attach to a good one and bring it around to connect.
  11. Look at my comment on your other post about this. Post the plan.
  12. They should follow the roof plane if you are using a rafter and not a p-solid. That looks like a very easy tie in and I know Chief can do it b/c I've done it a thousand times. I'm not sure what you got going on there but if you can post the plan, someone here could look at it.
  13. Scott is out of town until next week
  14. Yes I have the latest version and it happens on all plans inc. beta. Yes I should send it in but its one of those things that happens, why?, I do not know why.
  15. I'm always getting the Schedule's expanding for no reason. This has always been a pain for me as I like to keep them live. Yes I know I can put them in a cad detail but this shouldn't happen at all.
  16. Yesterday I updated my catalogs, it said everything updated ok, only to see that my materials section in the core library was gone. So I did it again and "Same thing". I had to put it back manually, not sure what is going on.
  17. You can go beyond 180deg, you just need 2 walls to have a full circle.
  18. Andy, Pretty funny. I guess your pretty GD F*****. I'm not Getting any of that.
  19. Try updating your video card drivers or your mouse drivers but I'm not seeing that. I don't think it's a Chief thing
  20. Wow, Haven't seen that one, I would send it in to TS
  21. Never seen that before, try T.S. I guess you could re-download it and install just in case you got a corrupt one.
  22. I sent them the video and they seemed to understand after that. They didn't change the page at first.
  23. Ok, T.S. acknowledged it not working correctly and they are sending it to the developers for review.
