They want us to use templates and Project Management. For our own good?

You're over thinking and working. @DBCooper gave the correct answer. I would not mess with terrain on floor 0.

Don't try and "connect" When you select a stair section, press SHIFT + select, to select only 1 section at a time. 1) uncheck "automatic heights" 2) choose "lock bottom 3) enter the bottom and top height (in that order). The riser height will adjust automatically.

Just draw your stairs individually from landing to landing. Here I just edited the staircase that you had drawn spanning both floors. I opened the dialogue box for the stair. - Uncheck automatic heights - Lock bottom (or top) just make sure you know the height of your landing before hand. - Set to 7 steps and adjust height of riser to fall on landing.

I have the same problem in X17. it used to work. I hope it’s just some setting?

I would much prefer that Chief just incorporate an AI enhancement tool built into the rendering technique options. Like a radio button for lighting. "Enhance lighting with AI" And maybe a prompt to input something like, "replace landscaping" so we can draw where we want shrubs and trees but the AI option will just enhance what's already drawn without too much alteration of placement and sizes. That's all I want for Christmas.

Make sure that when you line up your windows they are properly spaced. When you select them to block them together, make sure only the windows are selected and nothing else, then you will have the Arch tab available.

Anyone else having problems with snapping in general since the latest update? Cabinets are not bumping reliably. adjusting wall material regions in 3D are a hit and miss when trying to resize by dragging and snapping to existing edges etc... Anyone else having these issues? It's pretty clear form my last post that not many of you use Chief's material lists, lol. I know it sucks.

Why is this list so short? Is there some other way to tag the materials so it's easier to find in a material list? At this point I would settle if I was able to sort a material list alphabetically by material name.

Its actually File > Import > Legacy Settings Import. Then you get the options to import the traditional, layer sets, default sets etc… Why did they burry this? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Rob.

I somehow don't know how to do this anymore? I've been using the, "save as" method for so long that I can't figure out how to export layer sets from one plan and import them into another. It's sad to admit, but what am I missing? I thought this was always in the file menu under export? Help!

This can happen if you go into file explorer and make a change to the file name or move it to another location while the file is still open in Chief. Then when you go back to Chief and try to save it, you will get that error.

Thanks for the warning!

I just use a wall cap on a pony wall and set the width to the reveal I want and adjust the proper height above floor. This works for interior walls, but for exterior walls I have to use a material region with insulation air gap as material. Here is an example for a typical interior 2x4 division.

You just have to open the dialogue box and close it again and it will update. At least that’s how it’s been working for me.
