    Hi Danielle, Try using "Chief Architect save as PDF" in the printer dropdown. then print the pdf to your printer.

    In the wall dbx, Roof section on the left, you can set the wall to ballon thru ceiling to get it to match the roof above.

    I went from a RTX 2070 8gig to the 4060 8gig and hardly noticed the difference. Maybe 5 seconds faster. My build was from parts ordered from Newegg and totaled around $1900. If I recall the card was about 600 of that number. The price of cards is unreal! No wonder Nvidia is doing so well! I have been tempted, to buy a used 4090 but don't really need/shouldn't spend $1700!

    Wow, Awesome job Steve! Really great views right out of Chief! Curious how long does it take your card to render the images?

    Hi Ben, In my humble opinion anything that's below the dirt should be on level 0. This allows you to set the depth of the footings as needed per room. So, in your case yes place Footings on 0. the garage and walkout on level 1. Main living level 2.

    Hi Gene, Have a look in the roof specifications, shoe plate for your size and over frame checked.

    I tested this and it appears If you build the terrain, it will report correctly. Also, I notice your signature needs updating to x15. x14 didn't have the grass region tool. have a great day! cheers

    What do you mean floor is still there? Does the 3rd floor level by the arrow change to A for attic after you delete floor? A picture would be nice. by the way adding your computer specs to your signature page is always welcome!

    Welcome Dan, Assuming you are using x15. Have a look at the active defaults for your SPV (saved plan view) see image. Make a new SPV if you haven't created one.

    Hi Alan, Nothing auto, you will have to set the condition in each room. You can use the match properties tool to help speed up the process.

    Hi Rob, I like to have the base sitting on the slab.

    dimensions

    MPDesign replied to Opondo's topic in General Q & A

    It looks like you started with a metric template. What type of dimension are you looking for? metric or imperial?

    Hi Lane, Try, shift selecting all rows then make your change.

    Hi, I sent you a PM.

    I just tested the solar panel in the bonus MEP No.1 Energy Sources. It works as it should. It follows the pitch, the size in plan view and cross section are correct.

    Hi Adam In the wall dbx, will the full auto roof return work?

    In the image it looks like the 2nd floor wall is not stacked with the wall below.

    never mind my question, found the auto rebuild foundation option.
  19. MPDesign
    I was looking at this and I think chief uses unspecified for all rooms initially no matter what floor. Once the walls are standing. I'm curious what auto rebuild function are you referring too?
  20. MPDesign
    No problems here. All libraries transferred as they should. Except for the discontinued ones.

    I would send it to tech if you can get it to reproduce the problem. Is this a default x15 plan template? or a plan started in previous version?
  22. MPDesign
    I think the setting Michael is referring to is in your project browser. If you right click on the saved plan view in there and go to the "edit plan view" in the drop down. Under this dbx set the plan display of pony walls to what you want. save and close.

    Thanks for looking Simon, I will try your suggestion when I get back to work Monday. Cheers !

    Yes it works on both versions, no custom settings. no work arounds. Once I import a custom setting that was shared, it only works in x15 with the custom buttons. The custom buttons don't work in x14, they are not available in the drop down where you set the action for the button. Is this a version thing?
  25. MPDesign
    I have the same problem not getting it to work in x14, it works in x15. It looks like there is a specific version name in the cfg file now. Not sure I can copy the exe like Simon mentioned in his earlier post.
