Still get warning about using Chief Beta version?
Gawdzira replied to AlwaysEastern's topic in General Q & A
New Plan points to your Template plan that you designate. -

Gawdzira replied to AlwaysEastern's topic in General Q & A
You need to update your template plan file. I believe you are opening a template file that was from Beta. Go to File --> Templates --->New Template From plan file, once you open a plan it will prompt you regarding associating this as your new Template file. This should lock it into the new plan file. -
If you hit the red circle all displayed layers will move to the top of the ALDO.

Like Michael said, Mike, no. Mike, that is a great idea.

Anyone remember Carnac The Magnificent (sp.)? The great Carnac knows all, and is pretty sure you need to snap that landing to the corner of the stairs.

Oh Math. How you vex me so.

Dan, use this method for testing: Start writing and spend at least 5 minutes with the "Reply to this topic" open, then hit "More Reply Options", add an image file then try to post. This is the typical scenario where the world loses connection to my infinite wisdom (if only that Brexit post had gone through....) P.S. I am using Firefox.

Outside corners are the great nemesis of Material Regions. Look to a different solution.

Window Slider on bottom and side disappeared
Gawdzira replied to ShermanKBDesign's topic in General Q & A
I can toggle those off! Thanks. The only time I use those is by mistake and usually followed by a loud, WTF. -
Looking for a civil engineer licensed in California
Gawdzira replied to Francois's topic in Seeking Services
I have hired out of town engineers when I was pretty confident field observation would not be needed. Jared may be willing to travel to the East Bay. -

MEP Electrical: Lights controlled by a switch from downstairs
Gawdzira replied to BrownTiger's topic in General Q & A
I generally just draw an arrow from the switch and put it on the Electrical Connections Layer. I add the "3" to the switch manually. -
You probably want to post your .plan file to get anything but wild guesses for that question.

I have had that happen from time to time. Like Micheal, if I get too wordy Chieftalk edits me down to a lost post. I had an amazing diatribe going the other night lost to the ether.

Anyway to dumb-down trees so they don't look so real?
Gawdzira replied to zowie123's topic in General Q & A
It just got easier. I did a screen grab of this tree and brought it directly in as the image file. I bumped the transparency in the plant information to 2%. -

Gawdzira replied to zowie123's topic in General Q & A
See images. What I do for the dog walker is to take an image into Photoshop and cut out what I don't want to see to create transparency. I did the same thing with one of the trees from the bonus library. It was a bit time consuming to cut out the holes in the center of the tree but it really only took a few minutes. I could create a fair library of these in 45 minutes. I just use a basic 2d plant and replace the image with my own. -
Currently I just draw cad lines and then delete them. Except for the cad lines I don't delete and then notice them after printing and then slam my fist on the keyboard and then order a new keyboard from Amazon.

Power Users Preventing Needed Changes in Chief

I would like to see this too. No Print Layer. I have a layer in my details sheet that I use for snapping and alignment. I have made it such an obnoxious color that it is easy to remember to turn off when I see it printed by mistake.

For exterior elevations I move the camera (temporarily) to the cross cut section zone. Then I can place CAD lines at the plate and sub floor to snap my dimensions to. Then move the Camera back.

Items like that I copy a table in from Open Office into a rich text box. This is pasted in:

Chief nails the measurement but you can not look at what is in the dimension. You need to copy the number. See images. This is the measurement of the dimension string : This is the real number that you can copy and paste:
