    I got that from you a long time ago, then Chief chimed in and said the lower the number the harder Chief has to work.

    If you use a grid snaps, set it to 1/4" and not any lower. Do you really want 1/32" dimension's in your plan, not me. A very low setting will tax Chief b/c of the extra decimal points needed to figure everything out within the program.

    Curb height is controlled by the top of curb box, put it wherever you want, it looks a little high to me. Change the wall type to get block

    If you are using grid snaps, set them to like 1/4". That I find works good b/c since a typ. wall is 3.5", it will snap with better alignment. Any smaller will tax you computer(extra decimals) and Chief, and some big jobs could overload the system.

    Curt I also start all my plans with a test , I will draw a standard box, then setup whatever roof in going to use and set all the roof defaults, Then set all the other defaults, delete it, and start laying out my floor. I like working the roof out first.

    Draw a cad circle the size you want and place curved walls along that line. You cannot draw 1 wall in a complete circle, you must use 2 walls to do it.

    In the past Chief has had more problems with the ATI cards than the Nvidia cards. That my observations based on being here a long time. Just fact. usually an easy fix, none the less a fix. Old cards are always a problem for everyone.

    Ok thanks, got it. I must admit, I have never given that tool much thought. I think a few of us decided a long time ago not to use it b/c we just couldn't come up with a reason for it, truthfully. Now I know someone likes it. To each there own.

    I also did it from the menu, sorry.

    No what I'm saying is you would have to send a new "make copy" to get the correct layerset you just changed, wouldn't you.

    If you make a change using "make copy" , then wouldn't you have to send it to the layout again to update it. I have never used that setting b/c it makes a lot of layout sets and its confusing about which one it is using. Not using it then you know which layerset is being used, the only one.

    I try to only work on one or the other for that reason.

    I just updated my lib. catalogs from the toolbar and it installed duplicates for every new download. There is a problem.

    floor plans update instantly, sections/ elevations do not and never has. When sending to the layout do not check "Make copy of active layerset".

    Use the remove surface tool to remove the exterior portions of the dormer, then save an image of that view seems to be the easiest. not sure if framing will show though. Try it.

    The profile plan( layout or plan files) in the templates file is the only plan that is OOB. No other plan is. That's what Chief gives you to start with. If you are having some problems, you can always go back and start over with the profile plan. It comes with every new version.

    I don't think that card is $150, the 780 ti is pretty new

    I always use auto roofs to start with and of course it never does everything the way you want it. Then, at some point along the way, I have to turn it off and fix manually. Been doing it that way for a log time now..

    OOB= the profile plan
