I really appreciate you looking at the file. I have no idea what is going on; I've never seen this issue with Chief before on this computer. 

I guess I'll be digging more.

Thanks again,

Debra

You have got to be kidding me... now I'm really not sure what is going on. 

Same location as X9 X10 and X11 - different folders of course.

lines.plan

I'm just not finding anything that looks unusual; I might have to post it to the chief techs.  

Debra

I'm sure I have to be missing something but I can't seem to get the linestyles to show up right in X11.  The dashes, centerlines, etc all look like solid lines;  I've had no problems in any other version in reference to line spacing/styles.  BTW - the thickness works fine, it's the line spaces.

Debra

I just found it! Fantastic... there is always something new to learn!  Thank you for responding Larry, I had them all on and didn't notice it.

I love the new note feature but I'm really wanting to create notes for different sheets and not continue with the same numbering and schedule.  I'd really like to be able to have a note like 

A1 to appear on the elevation sheet

A2...

A3

E1 to appear on the electrical sheet

E2 etc.

Maybe I've missed something but I can't figure out how to do that, everytime a add a new note it just adds to the same schedule. I would like to have the notes on the page needed, only.

Debra

Thanks Mick, I missed that one! 

Is there a way to make chief show an imported light fixture in the schedule?  I imported a 3d schoolhouse style light fixture and made sure it was checked as "show in schedule" but it doesn't. I know I can explode and add text but I wanted to show the 3d view.

Check these textures out for white brick.. https://www.sketchuptextureclub.com/textures/architecture/bricks/white-bricks

Thank you so much for the idea! I've used windows for decorative foundation vents before, it just didn't occur to me this time. 

Thank you again!

Does anyone have a diamond-shaped gable vent? I have searched high and low to no avail and to be honest I've never created a 3d symbol.  

Debra

Thanks for the ideas.

Thank you SO much! 

Is there a way to select all the exterior walls and change them to a pony wall at once?  I have a whole house of exterior walls to change and I'm dreading doing each wall one by one.

Debra

Thank you Michael, I'll check that out. I've adjusted by surrounding an area for several versions and this is the only one that gave me issues... 

Have any of you using X10 gotten THIS when you stretch a plan now? If I stretch it out the walls are no longer connected, if I stretch it in (like the attached) the walls stick out instead of moving with the new wall location.

Am I missing some new setting or is this a bug?

Debra

Mick you are right! Thank you so much, it was driving me crazy. 

Why do base cabinets look like this in X10? 

That was it!  Strange thing is the roofing material without the horizontal lines is the same thickness...go figure! :-)

Can anyone tell me what these horizontal lines are?  I can't find any reason why they should be showing.

Thanks in advance.

Debra

"People" are not included in Cheif X8.    They have been replaced with silhouettes and can be found under the Bonus Section of Cheif... SSA or special purchase.  You can always go to the 3d Warehouse of SketchUp and find 3d people to import.

Royal pain! It's fine if I keep it on one computer but if I bring it home to work, it happens every time.   It doesn't go back to original at the office, it's totally messed up. :-(  

Glad to know it's not just me...

Debra

Anyone figure out what is going on with the text wrapping?  When I work on a project at the office and come home to work on the same project, this happens.  This problem is getting highly irritating!  I'm trying to figure out if I need to do something different or I'm stuck with this.   If I click on the text the text unwraps until I get back to the office and it goes back.  It's almost like the text is trying to adjust for the different computers. I know the resolution is different from the office and my laptop but this is a pain.  I'm using Ariel and automatic width/height.
