  1. I can't figure it out quick, so I turned on the option to use the secondary dimension option showing decimal feet.
  2. I believe the dimension text size is set by layer now. That is why the option is only for temp dimensions now.
  3. There is one option to adjust your number view type in dbx to decimal feet. Then you just enter numbers and it makes it feet.
  4. I just tested my metric plan template, all working as expected. All views showing metric sizes. Were you using beta before the full release? I would suggest try a repair install, then tech support if that doesn't work.
  5. Shot in the dark, did you rebuild the foundation after setting to 24"? Is the room set to unspecified or a room name? Are the defaults for foundation set to your desired settings? Just some thoughts.
  6. In my experience, you need to make sure your default setting for minimum separation is set to 0. Then your rough opening settings are set to the Manufacturer's offset. test plan for review attached. mulled window test.plan
  7. @madcowscarnival I have my setting unchecked as Chris mentioned, I forgot to mention that part. it has been set like that for so long
  8. The blocking in Allen's picture is set to 1/16" and not checked on. Not at my computer. Maybe turning back on?
  9. Have you tried the enter key? that works for x16
  10. I would recommend using a polyline solid for this instance. I tested your example and came up with the same result. It seams that the wall auto wraps the end with the exterior layer material in elevations.
  11. I would use the support page on Chief's website. Go to your account screen and use the technical support page.
  12. You can make it to look like your last picture. Solid wall type fill, turn off casing inside and outside. Pick a script type font.
  13. As Eric said build a 2nd floor. I attached a copy for you to look at. 471651323_TheCorkandCapv3.plan
  14. Molly I deleted the corner cabinet and placed a new base cabinet. Changed the default front of 3 drawers to 1 false drawer front. Then deleted hardware and stretched from left to right then turned into a corner cabinet. It looks like it's working. hth 410366274_CORNERCAB.TOE-working.plan
  15. Welcome to the community, I'm assuming you are using X16. Try 2 doors stacked vertically and mull them together. Add trim if needed with molding line tool in elevation/ cross section view.
  16. I don't think so, default setting is global. You will have to manually edit the porch roof.
  17. Hi Jake, I don't think there is a way to get temp dims to work. Looks like manually placing or auto room interior using electrical dimension defaults.
  18. I think manual edit the porch, auto roofs are set to the default roof settings.
  19. I would take an elevation camera view, then import the pdf page and then draw over it with the 3d solid tool. Have you looked at the 3d text we have in the library? Maybe the style will work.
  20. Hi Shane, I'm not sure I understand, 2d plan view display doesn't affect the elevation of the column. If you want to edit the column size use the doorway icon on the left of the tool bar. -Procedure for editing the 2d plan view- Place your library column in plan view, select it, then open this icon
  21. Hi David Looks like a manual roof build to me. Along with a accurate set of plans to go by.
  22. Have you tried the elevation camera, watercolor-line overlay?
  23. You mention you just dated to x16, does x15 still work? If not try reinstall chief and then if that fails, I would contact support when they open. I'm just guessing not knowing your machine specs.
  24. Try editing the 2d cad block of the column first? once you do that and change the size it will adjust the plan view as well.
