Thank you Michael. I still have no idea how that happened. Very strange.

Was working in X10 just a minute ago when I accidentally clicked something -no idea what and "undo" didn't help. All of a sudden all of my lines are very bold and blurry. I thought it was just the one plan on X10 but now all of them have the same characteristic. All the line weights look right and match what I have in X9. See photo for comparison -X9 on the right and X10 on the left. I know Solver or one of you other geniuses knows exactly what is wrong. Thanks.

I have a Mac almost identical to the one you just bought/returned and noticed the same lag in opening a DBX....very irritating. But only in X10. No such problem in X9.

The lower pitch in the photos looks more like a 6/12 to my eye. Nevertheless, you could continue the lower pitch across as I did here. KingsCastleDr(rev).plan

yes...continually.

I did...just wondered if others may have had the same problem.

I downloaded X10 a little over a week ago and all was fine until yesterday when I got a message stating that Chief was active on another computer (it's not) and locked me out. My locker showed it to be active, so I deactivated 10 and then reactivated. Problem solved until today when it did it again. Anybody else see this?

I'd be more inclined to draw/build it like this.

I spent nearly $3000 and couldn't be happier. Chief is absolutely amazing software.

Just fixed it ...by checking wall intersections through at start and end. Thanks Michael.

Anyone have an idea why these lines appear and how to get rid of them? Thanks.

It's not rare in Arkansas. In fact, it would be rare to see one without a foundation. And I do like most everyone else and draw porch foundations in manually. No big deal plus I never figured out how to get Chief to draw them for me.

while I can't speak for anyone else, I am extremely grateful for all that you and so many others do for those like myself on this board. and, honestly, if it weren't for this board, I truly believe that I would be still struggling with much of Chief. I've only been here a few months but try to read each and every post and watch each and every video to gain a better understanding of Chief and what it can do. I'm blown away by the patience and generosity by the dedicated individuals on this board (like those you mentioned) who take time out their busy lives to answer trivial questions from those like myself and only hope that one day that I might have the skills to return the favor given to me. thank you!

works fine on mine, too. and FYI... there is a roof plane sticking out below the ceiling of the small porch just off the breakfast area.

I plan on doing the same. I'm currently running Chief on what many would consider an antique ....a mid-2009 macbook pro.

I will....thank you.

David, Those are porch beams created with the railing tool. Oddly enough, I found a way to make the lines disappear and then reappear. If you click COPY on the curved wall in the front bedroom and then DELETE the front wall....the lines (and the curved wall) disappear. Then, if you click PASTE IN PLACE, the wall resumes it's position as do the weird lines. I have no idea. AJ2.0.plan

Weird. I just saved the original to a different name.... and the lines disappeared. However, they continue on the original.

Could someone please tell me why this is a double line instead of single over the back porch? I don't mind if it's double or single but I want it consistent. This happens to me on occasion and I have no idea why. There is a section of the front porch doing the same thing. Thanks.

here is one way: >highlight a door on your plan >click Object Layer Properties >under Door Labels, click Default Label Style >choose larger text style (i changed mine to 1/4")

another version.

I found it, Rich. Thank you.

How did you do the "text" on the front of the building? It disappears when I try this.

for Windows users. ugh. guess us Mac guys are outta luck.

Many, many thanks to both Eric and David for taking so much of their valuable time to teach this old dog a few tricks. I can't believe I didn't think about pushing the siding out just past the brick (to generate the frieze in the gables). After 35 years of framing/building, you'd think I'd know better. I was also wondering why I could not manually edit frieze...now I know.
