Is there an easy efficient way to specify comercial doors with a hollow metal frame. I'm lost. HELP_

Good Luck Old Man you can!!!

Version X13 - Apr 21, 2022

Terrible issues slower than version 4. I'm not at all happy that Chief ignores this. I'm thinking of send them a file and letting them figure it out.

I just opened a file from 06/22/2015 for a job that has been resurrected due to Fire. Everything comes up ok in X13 but regen is slow liken to version 4 speed. Any ideas.?

We have been using 13 for 6 months without any problems at all

Thanks Much Joey. Much appreciated

I have a bit of trouble at the fact that a "Mature Residential CAD Software" does not have a Screen Door in its libs.

But they have colored coat hangers GO FIGURE.

Does anyone know where a screen door resides THANKS

There are some in the Core Library>CAD Blocks>CAD Details.

 

However, they don't cover all possible conditions.  So you will probably need to modify and save your new versions to your User Library - or to CAD Details in one or more "Detail Plans" which is my preferred method.

Best solution Joe. I agree

Just changed to a logi: MX Master 25 & After I purchased they upgraded the model GRRRR

I just got a logi Master 25 and two weeks later the come out with a new model. Go Figure

So I know Chief Architect is used primarily for residential and very limited light commercial, and that's great, but I'm starting to bring in larger commercial projects and I'm hoping someone has a comparable software recommendation for commercial projects. Not very familiar with Revit, but I suppose I could learn it. Would like something I could do a full design and engineering package in one application. What does everyone else use for their larger, more complicated projects?

When I do a material list for the floor and I'm looking at my flooring take off I see my carpet and pad is only calculating the rooms and not the amount of carpet on the stairs. It does include the two stair landings as you go up the stairs, but not the tread or risers. I want to know how much carpet for the treads and risers also. How do you do that?

To many times lately people stray from their lane. This is an example. Send your plan to a carpet guy or two and get the correct answer.

i'm drawing a demo plan and want to show demo doors as dotted w dotted swing. I can't figure out how. Any ideas

I've asked before but looking for specifications for an X13 desk top upper mid range specification with a graphics card that will be adequitye for a few years?

Thanks

.Glen,

I dco not always use tabs, but in this case I did. It is colored hangers vrs getting txt right. chief has a serious problem on fixing the small thinks.

I still use VCAD a bit for these things, It is 2d only conceived in the 60's but much better ar CAD and txt than Chief.

Is it me or is it chief?. I've tried this for a while to get text to line up with both text and Rich text. Some days it is very frustration that CHIEF does some great things very well and glosses over the small things. .The grea protion is my screen on the bottom is what rich text shows. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is it Ron or Chief????
