    Excellent video. Thank you!
  2. DG1949
    Thanks for letting us know!

    The default label "Wall Layer 4 - Viewed From Outside" will return the next time you "re-frame", no matter what you do. Another "unsolvable".

    Can you create a brick foundation wall on level 0, and then cut and paste onto level 1? You would have to turn off automatic rebuild foundation, but it should work.

    With the Layout sheet open, in the main menu. go to View>Color. Make sure it's checked. Also "F8" keystroke should work.

    Maybe an over-simplification, but in general, use a floating dormer when it will "sit" on the roof instead of on walls underneath the roofline.

    You could add a relevant "comment" (such as OX or XO) in the Window "Object Information" dbx, and make sure "Comments" are included in the schedule That should separate the ones in question.

    In Active Layer Display, unlock Roofs, Ridge Caps, and then delete.

    Thanks, Chris. Very good to know!

    Pretty much across the board with all DBXs and any kind of view other than plan view. It may have nothing to do with Chief, but whatever it might be, it coincided with the last update. No crashes or hangs; just some slowdown. I'll be interested to hear your observation.
  11. DG1949
    No crashes, but everything seems a bit slower (barely noticeable) with the last (fix) update. Maybe a Mac/Chief thing? But no recent Mac update.

    Notes

    DG1949 replied to Dino459's topic in General Q & A

    Many notes in Library>Core Catalog>CAD Blocks>Designer Blocks>Notes and Legends. Great place to start, though you may have to explode and edit them to wind up with what you want. Once you do, create a Block and save it to your User Library for future use.
  13. DG1949
    Agreed! Overall slower even with "small" plans and simple tasks.
  14. DG1949
    Grab bars, including vertical, are in the Core Catalog under "Hardware>Bathroom Hardware".
  15. DG1949
    I think the "symbol" text may be controlled by the note itself. Open the note, change "Character Height".
  16. DG1949
    Possibly create a 25-1/2", frameless dishwasher cabinet? Dishwasher will slide in, "cabinet" stays in tact and you have control over both labels. Dishwasher "cabinets" (really just 2 sides) are sometimes used for "orphaned", stand-alone dishwashers. Just a thought.

    Pretty please, with sugar on top.
  18. DG1949
    That worked for me too. Just had to be re-framed.
  19. DG1949
    Bonus Catalog>CAD Blocks and Details>CAD Details>Sections>Hot Humid Climates>Energy Efficient Wall Section..... might work as a good staring point.

    STYLE> Closed Stringer removes the middle stringer
  21. DG1949
    Check Bonus Library>Exterior Attachments>Cupolas & Weathervanes?

    Icons

    DG1949 replied to Steve1967's topic in General Q & A

    Main menu>View>Tool Palette
  23. DG1949
    Yes, now I see what you mean. I'm able to edit the interior wall extension, but not the exterior.
  24. DG1949
    It's perhaps annoying to have to resort to a "manual" fix, but if you select the dimension string, just click "Edit Extensions" and just drag the extensions to whatever location (length) you want.
  25. DG1949
    In the main menu, go to Window>Fill Window. There is also a button for it in the "Zoom" toolbar. Chief's version of "Zoom Extents" in other software.
