DRAWZILLA

all colors are different depending on if your seeing shadows or sun or interior and lighting is critical and can change every color you might see in a plan or elevation. Printing is also something different depending on the type of paper you might be using. I really don't think its possible to get an accurate exact match. Monitors are also something that can be changed and can vary for each different model and setup.

If you can still find them, copy them to your X10 data folder (in the textures file) so you know where they are. You might also check in the X9 data folder for them. Where did you previously keep them? Only you know where.

Thanks Gerry, I still use the old plant schedule method.

nice Gerry, This would be great if Chief would do it for us. Notes like this vary greatly depending on where you are also.

sorry Buddy, I just don't have that issue in windows, so I'm not sure What you are asking..

Hey Chief, just do it.

very nice stuff Joe, very useful.

you can also just place a cad block from the cad block lib.

Thanks Joe , I had no idea Dropbox had that option., i'll check it out.

send it as a "PDF"

You can also just bring it into the layout, change it to the size you want and re-save to the lib.

For me , I have replaced some of my older materials with the new materials of the same kind b/c I know Chief has been adding new materials in X10. If you haven't re-vamped your template plans lately, might be a good idea. Not sure if this will help you , but it can't hurt.

Yes, good idea

Dennis , how's that golf game coming.

The only way I know of opening more than one plan view is multi-selecting from the project browser.

You can also open up all the views at the same time to click back and forth between all the views to work on.

Select the dormer walls and just cut--paste hold to the next upper level.

MOVE THE DORMER WALLS TO THE ATTIC FLOOR ABOVE, THEY WILL LOOK THE SAME IN CAMERA VIEWS AND BE GONE FROM THE LOWER FLOOR.

Larry, one thing is that there is an exterior and interior side of an interior wall. it controls things like exterior and interior side of doors and casing, etc. Also which side dimension's are connecting too, depending on how you set it up. Nice video.

well ,you could use the export Chief 3d viewer, it almost the same as a walk through but the client can move around wherever they want to view. Chief has the file on their servers.

here is a way to do tage within Chief, did this a long time ago.

turn on automatic framing in deck defaults

I like saved plan views, didn't at first but learned as I went along during early phase testing. The only problem I have is I'm changing the view accidently , then go to the layout and find the 2nd floor showing on the 1st floor plan. I wish there was a pop up stating that I changed the plan view so I could answer no I don't want to change the plan view on the layout. Other than that it's great for me.

That's how I do all my patio covers, very fast for standard patio covers.
