  7. San Antonio College ("SAC") a two year junior college just north of downtown San Antonio, Texas used to have a course using Chief Architect. It would not be a bad place to spend a semester.

  11. Yep, now they are showing. It seems I am having trouble with delays in views updating. Last time it was lingering floor surfaces after I turned them off. Even F12'd them. But that is the way to do the valley rafters in my opinion. . . with roof planes.
  12. "LASTLY...rotate it in plan view to match your valley." Michael, I think this last move will keep the 2x12 from laying flat on the host roof. I like the idea of using roof planes better. They can be shaped in plan view, raised and lowered in height and will maintain the correct pitch. But I had a hard time showing the roof planes as lumber with the framing overview since they turn off/on with the other roof planes no matter what layer they are on. Any ideas? Thanks, Charles

  18. I backup layout and plan files together on Dropbox by using Chief Architect's method in their Help File (see attached). I use a file folder for each client and subfolders for each backup. I just number the backup folders 1, 2, 3 ... etc., like Smith 1, Smith 2, ... That way my plan and layout file names never change and remain in the same folder (no re-linking). If I have to go back to a previous plan for any reason, I can use the folders dates or numbers. As I progress with a plan, I might delete every other older backup folder from time to time to save space. This has saved me more than once. Usually because I hit the undo too many times and deleted something that I was not aware of until later. But, I have had clients change something then ask me to change it back. If I can isolate those items or that area and copy/paste in place, I am way ahead. Backing up plan & layout files X9.pdf Note: Always backup the layout (not plan) file. That will ensure that all files (including the plan file) is backed up in the same folder. CA acts like the plan file is associated with the layout file but not visa versa.
