can one of you post your toolbar that works on your machine and ill import to see if makes a difference ?

Just doesn't work for me. i even checked the code in the toolbar folder and it looks ok from what i can see. these small things really bug the life out of me Screen Recording 2025-04-20 080618.mp4

working in x15. i must have some messed up setting. update checked on a fresh install of x16 and also not working....weird

Tried restarting with no luck. i think i imported a toolbar last time then added to it but not sure. definitely not 400 custom objects

I cannot remember how I managed to make this work. When attempting to place a library object, it does not group on the same bar or add to an existing one. The only way it seems to function is by creating multiple separate Screen Recording 2025-04-18 093652.mp4 bars. I am certain I am overlooking something simple here but cannot recall what to do. Please assist.

I am also in Australia and have used chief since V10 yes along time and still love it. Chief has really improved as of late and I am hooked again. I have created my own a & l window library as that's who I use as a builder and standardised all the kitchen tools to create icons to drag and drop iconic with everything to Australia standards i.e blum hardware, fingerpulls ect ect which all takes alot of time but once done they are yours for life. Lots of fun

MarcMc. thanks for the info. ill post a super quick video to help others or remind myself. there was a typo in the macro which should read %height-countertop_thickness-toekick_height% total height 900mm - 40mm countertop - 150mm kicker = 710mm (works a treat). Never really played with macros before but very interesting. Screen Recording 2024-10-30 204916.mp4

wow thanks i will give it a whirl and thanks for posting a file also

Hi Chiefs Does anyone know if it is possible to get a cabinet schedule to produce the actual carcass height i.e without toe kick or countertop as this is the measurement used when ordering cabinets on plastic feet. I see you have two height option in the schedule. one for box height which included toe kick and carcass and one full height which included toe kick, carcass and countertop. I realize you could probably draw without a toe kick then use a polyline solid to produce the toe kick to force the size to work but would be great just work from within chief???

got it thanks so much glennw

Hi All I am a user in Australia (10 years plus) and chief shows open indicators backwards for the standardized way we look at plans. the image below shows red lines how they look in Australia as the lines go from hinge side to handle. can this be changed in chief?? This is same on windows also

kitchen.toolbarincase anyone else ever gets the issue import the kitchen.toolbar into chief C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X16 Data\Toolbars to get two columns that you can add whatever you want into a single toolbar

Thanks everyone for looking. I'll have another look when I get back. update ...............ill just create the toolbar layout required in X13 then import into X16 (tried and it works) strange though

i replicated the settings on the working x13 version and it didn't allow me to stack? must be a bug

installed an old x13 copy and it works a charm Screen Recording 2024-10-27 093001.mp4

Hi Team Chief Has anyone had the issue when creating custom tool bars in x16 that when in customize toolbars and you drag from tools to the plan file screen the tools do not stack into one toolbar but instead just create separate toolbars for each tool i drag over??? I am trying to make my own custom tool bar with multiple tools from the library items i have created over the years. i know how to place library button and create an icon but simply cant get them to stack. Thanks for looking Screen Recording 2024-10-27 071611.mp4

downpipe tool would be real nice. sick of making my own also a brick sill tool to turn on and off

me too. very annoying x 13. the only way i can now send elevations to layout is using the live view option which i cannot stand as it moves around the layout page. plot lines no longer works either. never had this issue ever. just happened yesterday. also this locks up chief which i have to go to task manager to restart
