Was able to work through this with Tech Support, the update had the program looking for something it didn't have permissions to locate. Opened as administrator and was able to fix the issue.

It doesn't appear to be the result of anything I am doing, it just closes after about 45 seconds even if I don't open any files. Hopefully I can speak with someone soon, just figured I would check here to see if anyone else had the same issue.

Yes, reported this morning but they don't open for another couple of hours. No joy.

I just ran the latest update (Build 24.2.2.1) for X14 and now the program won't stay open for more than about 30 seconds, just completely shuts down. Anyone else experiencing this?

Just saw this, thanks very much Robert!

How do I push it out so that only 6-12" is in the room and the body of the FP is 18" outside the wall?

Use the diagonal radio button, just pull the fireplace out to where you want it. You can make other size adjustments in the dialog box.

Forgot to mention you will need to drag and drop the fireplace tool into one of your toolbars.

Ginger, you will need to add this tool to one of your toolbars. If you look at the first attached image you will see that you can select "customize toolbars" from your tools drop down menu. Once you select this you will see a drop down of all the tools available to you, the one you are looking for is "fireplace" (image 2). Good luck

Would really like the trimmer defaults to control the placement of the door rather than the casing width.

If I am understanding what you want, you can set this up in your defaults. Or open the dimension default you are working with and change it temporarily.

Thank you both, I used a 220 and re-labeled it.

Does anyone know where I can find a symbol for an electric car charger? I am looking for a residential charger, not a charging station. Tried a search to no avail, would appreciate any help. Thanks

I will usually place the knob or pull in the floor plan, open and change the size, then save to the library with a new name.

Counter intuitive but raise the height of the ceiling in that "Under Stair Storage" room and it will lower the slab.

I used a wall elevation camera to place the niche in the lower pony wall

Thanks David, that worked. I appreciate your input.

Thanks Eric, would you mind giving me a pointer or two on how you made it happen?

This seems to still be happening in X12, does anyone know if it was fixed and I am just doing it incorrectly? Or is the bug still alive?

Steve, your X, Y, Z plan placement should all be at 0 (first image) and your X, Y, Z symbol origin should also be at 0 (third image). You can access the symbol origin with the "chair" symbol you see when you select the item (second image)

One can also use a general framing member for this application. Framing members wrap wood grain correctly automatically.

Great tip, thanks Robert

I was able to turn these dimensions on and off when I checked a few of your layer sets. When I open the plan on your electrical set there are no dimensions showing until I check Dimensions, Manual so everything seems to be working as it should, not sure what might be going on.

from the normal white fill to the wall fill they reside on

This has happened to me and I think it was when I have inadvertently copied and pasted the wall in hold position. There may be an extra wall section where this fill is showing up.

If you hoover your mouse over the "+", the program will give you some hints for where to look.

@DermotThis is a helpful little tidbit, thanks.

Someone was just asking about this the other day, check out this thread
