  1. I can help you. Please give me a call at 210 744-7489.
  2. One more thing on arcs. They do not have to be approximated. Just: 1. Use the chord and continue to close the perimeter. 2. Then, select the arc's chord and change it from a line to a arc using the Change Line/Arc tool and make it arc the correct direction. 3. Then open the arc (if not still open), lock the chord and insert the radius from the survey.

  4. Unless I am missing something just make CAD blocks of a grid and a mask (polyline with transparent fill) and save in your library. Here is a 40' x 60' plan with the 12" x 12" grid and mask sent to the back in the draw order. You can copy the grid and rotate it for angled wall. Grid and Mask.plan
  5. Well guys & gals (in Texas we just say guys for all persuasions), I only have had a few takers (as in THREE) on the Garage Door Wizard program at $20. I thought there was more interest when I asked Kerry Francis to get it to work on Windows 10 for us. Any-who, I am bumping this thread to see if anyone else is interested before time gets away from us on this. Regards, Charles
  6. The attached screen shots show: 1. the default lighting that Chief uses to light the scene if the user has not added lighting. 2, 3 & 4. the same lighting with the camera moved slightly. You see the bounding box which can z-fight. 5. after adding lights. Chief's default light is not used.
  7. OK guys, Kerry Francis of Garage Door Wizard fame emailed me over the weekend and said that he does not plan on improving the program because the demand does warrant the work required. However, he is allowing me to sell Version 2.10.0025 of the program that works on with Chief Architect Premier X9 and Windows 10. To keep the cost and trouble down, I will sell the program for Kerry on the honor system. You send me $20 via PayPal to CVRE@sbcglobal.net and I will forward you the program via email. No sharing, warranty, no returns, no crying, no whining. Please let the rest of us know if it works or not on your computer setup by posting on this thread so others can decide whether to buy. Upgrades are $20 also since there is no way to monitor registered users. Kerry said that the price back in the day was $35. So it is a good deal. Kerry was nice enough to allow me to distribute this because some of us asked for it. I am just trying to contribute to you guys and gals on the forum who have helped me by participating on the forum. Regards, Charles

  13. At least use layersets (saved sets of layer settings), one for structural, one for electrical, etc. I use annosets to change layersets and more. Search on this forum for "layersets" and "annosets". It will be worth your time.
  14. Same glass material. Interesting.
  15. I have had problems in the last month or so with my mouse occasionally double clicking when I just clicked once.
