  1. When you don't have a foundation yet in your plan, Chief will create one for you (in 3d) but it's not in the plan to change it. You've seen it all the time, remove your foundation and take a 3d view, you will see a foundation there.

  2. The reference manual is my best friend I have spent many hours with the toilet and the manual. I copied mine but I need to get it in a book because mine takes up 7 binders. It will not be getting any literary awards anytime soon.

    A toilet manual Genius idea. I have no idea what to do with my hands most of the time, and by the way, after 7 years of learning Chief, I still learn

    something every day. You will never stop learning, its just too much.

  3. I don't do it that way because I prefer to work to scale (most of my details are 1"=1'-0") and then I send to layout at the scale of the drawing.

     

    You can still draw them in a layout page cad detail to scale, just set the page setup to whatever scale you want to for that detail

  4. Initially, I was thinking the Library but making revisions is too cumbersome.

    DISCOVERED THAT MANY YEARS AGO

    Standard Details can obviously be in the Default Layout but they still need to be created someplace and sent to layout, so CAD Details seems to make sense at least as a starting point and as a way of being able to make revisions easily.

     

    I create my details in the layout and copy to the lib. very easy to change that way, no more than your way.
