I adjusted the material definition of the wall tile and it shows correctly for the most part in the 2D view but the tiles don't change size in the 3D view. What can i do to get it to show the same in both views? How do i get the tile above the accent tile to start with a hole piece of 12x24? tiles are to be 12x24 and 6x24. Its a Daltile tile but its not in the library. thanks, Jennifer Palmer Denison Drywall Chief X10

THAT WORKED. THANKS!

When i draw in my terrain, the slabs hide in the terrain. i have the slabs set for top of slab at 0" with reference to the finished floor. I then have the terrain set to 1" below sub floor. They appear to move together when i change the terrain reference point. thanks, Jennifer

I want to create a 6' door in a 7' door frame and the bottom door will be 6" from the floor and 6" from the top of the frame. It will be for a bathroom stall using real doors and walls instead of partitions. How do i go about making this? it will look something like this:

Awesome! it worked! Thanks!

How do i remove the crown molding that automatically comes in with every wall?

Thanks! i wonder why it didnt come up when i did a search in the catalog downloads

Does anyone have a block for a drinking fountain? Or know where I can get one? Thanks!

I have a stair that goes up to the upper level and then the stair to the basement going down starts on the opposite end. How do i show that in plan on the main floor - that there are two sets of stairs overlapping each other? I can't get the my stair to the garage to 'autostairwell' so the stairs shows up on the main level. i uploaded an image Thanks,

I am trying to make a wall with an arch at the top aka a curve at the top. And then I need to add some fancy cornice detailing. How do I do this? Also, is there a way to 'lock' a wall in place without putting it on its own layer and locking the layer? For example, I have a store front building with different heights of walls but in order to keep them from joining together and changing heights on me, I have to change the wall type or put it on its own layer and lock the layer. Thanks,

For us specifically in rural Iowa, internet connection isn't that great. So online sharing tends to hurt. My original plan was to implement something easily accessible for multiple users. Down the line new employees might want to edit/view a job file. Instead of having to download/upload/move file etc you could just access the job file on the network share, save, and the next person could jump right in no problem. Obviously you will run into issues with this as Hamlin mentioned, which is understandable. We will work with what we've got, I was just hoping it was a supported feature.

Yeah this is a little disappointing. I just spoke to support and they definitely don't support CA in a network environment. That is unfortunate and it would be nice to see some kind of sharing/network support option available. I guess we might be sticking with local install for the time being and using the NAS for backups, then reassess when more users need the data.

This is actually a two part question... We are revamping our office, adding more users, computers, etc and I want to store Chief Architect job files on a NAS. Model we are looking at is Synology 214+ Has anyone done this before and/or run into any trouble? This brings up my second question. I've set up a new user workstation and for the time being the user is accessing the files from another desktop. (until we get the NAS or not) She is having an issue where it tries to auto save then says the file has been disconnected but it's no where to be found. I'm assuming this is because they are not being stored on the local machine?

i guess those stones from the manufacturer catalogues don't have patterns in them.

How do i do that? "Help" isn't being very helpful today. Thanks!

How do I get a stone pattern to show up in the vector view of an elevation? currently only the siding shows up.

Lets try this attachment thing again.... screenshots.pdf Steinkamp - layout.layout

I attached a couple of screen shots if that helps any. Thanks!

I have been working with Chief 10 for the last few years, so upgrading to Premier X6 is a big jump for me and trying to figure out all of the differences.

I started this project as a 'cad to walls' and it made spaces between the floors. I can't figure that out either. (My roof is messed up so ignore that.) But you can see on layout page 4 how the image is red. It was in (standard view) when i sent it to layout. page 2 and 3 have the the line drawing. I used the auto elevation tool and then sent the drawing that it created to the layout (vector view). The center sections are EIFS above with stone below on the front elevation and EIFS on the rear elevation Thanks

When i send an elevation view that is rendered with all materials it shows up red in the layout. How do i get my rendered elevation to the layout without being red? When i send a line drawing of the elevation to the layout, the stone doesn't show up but the siding does? Why is this? when looking at the line drawing of the elevation in the plan file, why don't all of the lines show up to make changes to them? Thanks.

Does anyone have a file for an industrial hand wash station? the kind you would have for mulitiple users. It would be a semi-circle shape. Thanks
