To push the fireplace into the wall – you can override bumping/pushing by holding the control key (PC) / command key (Mac) and sliding it in with your left mouse button.

... I need to change door types. Material defaults did change all the colors which is cool though.

Style Palettes can allow you to change the cabinet door types – you may need to dial in the scoping settings to limit just the door type.  This Style Palettes video may help.

Open the fixture Symbol. Poke around the settings.

See if this helps in the Symbol Dialog.

There’s a video that shows a few different ways you can place the apron / farm sink depending on your design

https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1552/placing-an-apron-sink.html

The ‘lower wall type if split by butting roof’ tool you mention is available in Home Designer Pro and Chief Architect Premier/Interiors.  For your work around, you might try a section view, use the backsplash tool, reshape, and paint it.

Some background and information you may already know.  The Mac M1 is an integrated processor that contains the CPU & GPU.  Intel has similar integrated processors like the IRIS.  Typically, the integrated processors will not have the graphics performance of the machines that have both a dedicated CPU and GPU. Real-Time GPU raytracing is not supported on them (CPU raytracing is supported).  In addition, Chief Architect X13 does not currently support real-time GPU raytracing on the Mac because its graphics are not at the same level of the high-end graphic cards (NVIDIA / AMD).  I run Chief Architect on both the Mac & PC and seem to work equally as well, with the exception noted above:

2019 15” MacBook Pro 32GB, I9, AMD Pro 555X

2019 15” Lenovo Laptop 16GB, I7, NVIDIA 2060

Long story short, in reading the manuals, you will find that CA has a partnership with Intel. 

 

Chief Architect works with both Apple & Intel.

Be sure to click on the ‘top rail’ in the dialog panel.  Then you should be able to check the ‘extend’ option.

Are you looking for this setting on the ‘Rails’ panel?

In the wall type, you have a -1/2” for the foundation offset.  If you change that to 0” the sheathing should build the way you want.  After making the change in the wall, rebuild your foundation.

Adam, can you post your plan

You might see if this works using the grid offset.  See the “X13 What’s New Productivity Video” at about 3:45

...I was looking at this method: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1530/drawing-a-flat-roof-with-center-drain-and-parapet-walls.html

 

There's a newer version of this video (at the same link) you might see if it helps.

FYI it does in X-13, upgrade!

Here's an image of what I think you are asking for.  Schedules can include multiple categories, e.g., cabinets and fixtures in a single schedule 

You can rotate a single label.  Maybe you are looking for a tool to rotate all labels at once?

Renaming the framing to "...SPF" will not impact the framing spacing - provided you have 'default' checked in the wall definition.

I noticed your 'rooms' layer was not on in 3D.  Try turning that on and painting the wall in 'component mode'.  See attached.

Thanks Scott.   Still curious what the stamp looks like on the material you frame with though ?

I set my framing to use the 'default' in the wall definition - per my attached image in the post above.  Then, in the build framing dialog, you can enter 16", 24" or __".  I think that's the way the new X13 template plan is setup as well.

You might check in the wall definition to use the ‘default’ wall framing.  It also looks like your framing material is using "…stud 24 OC”.  In X13 we changed the framing to be independent of the wall material e.g., ‘fir framing’ vs. ‘16” fir framing’.  See attached image if it helps.

Please elaborate.  What feature(s) do we have to live without if using an M1 Mac?

Steve, you can see the differences from Mac and PC on the system requirements page.  The M1 Mac v. Intel Mac - the M1 is an integrated chip which are typically less powerful.

Native or Rosetta?

Chief Architect X13 uses Rosetta.

The desktop client viewer can be downloaded for both X12 and X13

The Mac M1 computers now run with Chief Architect X13.

Apple’s strategy is to develop its processors in-house.  They no longer use NVIDA and will move away from AMD.  Not sure how long before its GPU will be on par with NVIDA or AMD.  BTW, Lenovo has a laptop with an NVIDA 2070 RTX or Desktop at Newegg with a 3070 for right around $2k.
