  1. There's some good info on the CA website. I believe you can look at the material list in a couple of different ways, one of these may give you what you want, https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/59/materials-list.html
  2. Also, there is a good chance Apple will be releasing a 16” IPad in the next year or so. That would be a perfect platform, (imho).
  3. I’m using an IPad with an app called Morpholio Trace. It has been a game changer for me. I’ll attach some examples.
  4. @solver Can you post your version of the plan so we can see how you fixed it?
  5. hmm I tried that, but it doesnt work, it looks like you need a finish layer to cut.
  6. I think you could use a wall material region and have it cut the surface?
  7. It was cheaper for me to get a new laptop with a 3070 graphics card. Handles the X13 features just fine, and it allows me to take my computer to client meetings, job measure visits, etc.
  8. I have an Alienware, the battery life is not good, and the graphics fan gets pretty loud when doing 3d work. Other than that, I have no complaints.
  9. I run into this pretty often, IMHO its better to go to 30" x 42" (in my settings its called Arch E1).
  10. In general, laptops are inherently more difficult and expensive to upgrade. Having said that, I have a similar laptop and it performs well.
  11. Under the options tab there is a button for Recessed.
  12. I believe you can draw that wall on the attic level and it will fill in
  13. By the time you vehicles in the garage, you probably wouldn't notice the pattern
  14. I use different layers (in layout) for different title block sizes , I have one for 30 x 42, one for 24 x 36 (my default) and one for 8x11. You will have to change the paper size and scale etc. but I think this accomplished what you want.
  15. Dermot posted on a similar topic that might help you here:
  16. eric @Solver did a couple of videos on creating your garage door symbol, here is the first one
  17. are you using paste in place? not sure if it makes a differenc, but it might
  18. I had an issue similar to this once before and tracked it down to anti-virus software
  19. Probably doesn't help you but It prints fine for me.
  20. your pdf appears normal to me, I use Adobe.
  21. This is straight from Chief - no cad lines. What you are wanting to do is not hard.
  22. I label wall sections and details in Layout often times.
