Thanks, Chris. Very good to know!

Don, I haven't noticed anything running slower or at least slow enough to catch my attention. Can you be a little more specific on what's going slower? As mentioned, I'll be watching the program a little closer today.

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. 

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.

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.

No crashes, but generally much slower. You can tell when your habitual mouse clicks out pace the program. Takes me about 3-4 seconds just to open a door dbx and about the same to close it, even with no editing.

EDIT: 10-20 seconds to open a door dbx on a fairly small model. Although, how would I know if its related to the update...

Agreed!  Overall slower even with "small" plans and simple tasks. 

Grab bars, including vertical, are in the Core Catalog under "Hardware>Bathroom Hardware". 

I think the "symbol" text may be controlled by the note itself. Open the note, change "Character Height".

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.

Try "Edit All Roof Planes" > Structure > "Build Roof Framing."

That worked for me too. Just had to be re-framed. 

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

Who knows why X11 left it out

Check Bonus Library>Exterior Attachments>Cupolas & Weathervanes?

Main menu>View>Tool Palette

That works great when there's an extension to modify, but when the extension isn't even there, dragging it is pointless. A non-existent extension line doesn't show up by editing the extension line as one would think. It just stays non-existent. 

Yes, now I see what you mean. I'm able to edit the interior wall extension, but not the exterior. 

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. 

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. 

Is "Suppress Label" checked?

Hi,

You might have a default door header that's getting in the way. Going to "Framing" in the Door DBX, uncheck default header and un-click  "include header". 

With latest version I can still move with DBX. Hmmm.....

Build Roof>Ignore Top Floor.

Really? I guess I was overdoing things. 

 

You could try to copy and paste into the Open Below Room, and in the object DBX change the "Absolute" elevation to 0. The object should remain visible in plan, but not in elevation. You will, however, now have two couches in the same place on floor 1. 

Windows® Update maybe. Someone else mentioned trouble following a very recent update.

Same here. Seems to be down. (Sunday maintenance?)

Stem wall changes from 104 7/8 inches to 116 3/8"

   Any attempt to adjust this only changed other heights

 

any suggestions?

Maybe try again with "Lock Floor Top" checked?
