  1. Hello, we are aware of this issue in X17 and hope to have it fixed in the next version. As a workaround, in the print dialog, please try unchecking "Update Automatically", and use the "Update" button manually.
  2. Hi Rene, sorry to hear you're having trouble with missing textures. We have some requests to improve the asset manager which are prioritized, but please report your own suggestions if you haven't done already. It could also help us to know how you are getting hundreds of missing textures. Are these all from when you started using X17?
  3. Mac spell check does not flag words written in all caps as incorrect. I believe this is general behavior across multiple Mac applications.
  4. Hello, I'm not aware of a way to do this in X16, but X17 has a preference to use Standard on launch. It's located in Preferences -> Appearance -> Dialogs/Side Windows -> Material Previews -> Prefer Physically Based on Launch. Uncheck this to get the behavior you want.
  5. Hello, could you try signing out and back in again? These options can be found in the "Account" menu at the top of the screen.
  6. Hi Cubrad, Try right-clicking this folder, go to "Delete Catalog". Then, go to the the "Library" menu at the top of the screen, and click "Install Core Content".
  7. The documentation is slightly out of date. "Vacuum" was recently renamed to "Optimize Space" in X17, but the functionality is the same - it reduces the space it takes on disk to the smallest possible size.
  8. Hello EBinteriors, As the developer who worked on the "Include Web Results" feature, I can guarantee these ads did not come from usage of this feature. If that option is enabled, then library searches will include results from the Chief Architect 3D Library.

  9. In the Project Browser, right click the project for the plan you are sending, and click "Import File(s)" to import your layouts. Then, they should be available in the dropdown.
  10. That's alright, I think I understand your situation. You have shutters applied to the mulled unit itself. A workaround might be to use "Convert to Symbol" on the mulled unit - convert it to a Millwork symbol and add it to the library. Then, place it in a plan, and use 3D -> "Delete Surface" to remove everything except one of the shutters. Then, use "Convert to Symbol" again on the result. You have to use "Convert to Symbol" and not just "Add to Library" to preserve your edits, as far as I can tell.
  11. Just a guess - is the window a mulled unit? They do not have "Add to Library As" in X17. If that's not it, you can use "Export Library" on the object in your user catalog, upload it here, and I can give a more definitive answer.
  12. You can right-click the window and use Add to Library As... to add the custom shutter itself to the library.
  13. Hello, Can the installation complete if you click ignore? If not, is there some other error message?
  14. The backup doesn't physically copy these catalogs, but keeps track of which ones you had when you made it. When you restore from backup on your new machine, the Core, Bonus and Manufacturer catalogs that you had on your old machine should start downloading from our servers.
