from X1 I believe tou will have to buy a new licence to upgrade to the latest.

We have been doing digital submissions for several years here in NZ. The biggest down side is you loose contact with the plan checkers and they become keyboard warriors, and wont talk on the phone. With lodgement I find you have to take longer to ensure that all files have actually been uploaded. With different systems for different authorities it can be confusing, but at least you don't have to make an appointment then travel to their office. So overall it seems easier and you can lodge at any time of the day or night.

rob what happens to the preview if you change the material? I am thinking a bug in the program with that material.

does it show in a wall in the model?

probably need to make a new wall definition without the drywall.

alter the drawing group number so things appear behind others.

Mike. I took no offense, just the opposite, sorry if my comment was misinterpreted. I like others was cracking up at some of the wit.

I am pleased to see all the good humour in the current situation. at least it was easily fixable now that I have slept on it will hunt down a backup and send i a report. cheers everybody

will send off to tech, hopefully might be able to find a backup?

Mick had to look what I had done as it was so long ago, just blended the colour material is pine rafter. This one is a little weird, but in plan view I could marquee select and force rebuild. then all ok.

Has anyone seen this before? It was all good this morning when I closed the file to work on something else. Then the client arrived for our final meeting I opened the file and did a perspective full overview and got the following, most of the trusses show down below the ground. I can individually click on them to open, then close the dbx and they move to where they are supposed to be. Dont know if it is a bug or what it is.

have you renamed any of your directories?, just an outside chance as you say it has happened twice. so maybe a hardware glitch?

Saved plan views will do some of this.

turn the labels layer off

I dont think just sending the report covers it as they are asking for the steps to reproduce.

You are definitely missing something . I use a # for the page number as K bird said then when you remove a page everything after that page renumbers automatically. same if you add an extra page. I would try deleting your current page table and place in another one, there may be some weird broken link.

Windows built-in functionality works for me ctrl-c then ctlr-alt-v. this works in all cases I have tried plan to plan or page to page.

what version of chief ??

Has this been reported to CA?? Going from your attachments it appears to be a mac issue.

is the windows layer turned on in that view???

This should be in the general q&a section so more people see it. currently I am not sure what you are asking, more detail appreciated.

If the site is flat, a polyline converted to a terrain feature works.

why not upload the plan. without seeing the plan I would look at temporary room dividers . I have done it in the past but it took perseverance.

You will have to change the rooms 1 at a time, I haven't found a way to do multiple unless I change the default. but as you only want to change 4 rooms. It would also help if we knew what program and version you were using, as a few things were changed in this area over the last couple of versions.

George Just tried an import of acad dwg file and it works fine. Do you know what version of acad it is in? or are you not getting to choose the file?
