    I have imported the loading doc roof I did in sketch up the, the structure is 3852" wide . Chief imports the correct size, but then when i try to move it up to the correct height chief shrinks the imported roof structure to 3000". I did not find any limits on imports on the docs or help. Anyone ells had this problem? existing model.plan existing roof only.skp

    Thanks! I do have a fast computer but chief never wants to use up abundantly available resources so... Found "Linear " in terrain specific dialogs incase any one else runs across this.

    I imported a Import a surveyor DWG file. I followed the instruction in the tutorial (Import a Surveyor DWG file for a Site Plan or Terrain Perimeter (chiefarchitect.com) . And got some strange spikes hills. I have tired cleaning up the elevation data but no luck. There is simply no elevation data in the area that is that tall, not sure what is generate this. Pleas see the attached pic and surveyor map. 17045-Topo.pdf 17045-Topo-C.dwg existing terrian2.plan

    Hi i am trying to create a sawtooth roof . see the attached image. My thought was to created a walls in the attic floor similar to the "Creating a Dutch Hip Roof" tutorial. How ever when I create the wall in the attic it remains invisible, see the screen shot form chief. I am guessing this has something to do with fact i have a flat roof with paraphed walls. . Not sure how to proceed. Guessing i need to create a second floor and add it there? existing model.plan

    All my camera views look narrow. Things just look "off", narrow, and wrong, things like hallways are really bad. Reassessed lighting look oval no round. See the attached example, this is latterly a rebuild of my bedroom, i am looking at this hall way right now form approximately the camera position, in real life is just not so narrow. this hall way is 3.5' wide and about 12 deep. I have different setting but no luck.

    Yes but after i posted i just copied the plan files form HD to x12 and it worked fine. Still should have some sort of library to share between users or even for pmt. I am just to lazy for these details I normally don't do the interior design work and just want my rendering to look not so blah like the default templet.
  13. divreig
    Where ? I looked in "D:\Users\tench\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X12 Data\Templates" no luck. There should be a library that would be nice.

    Has any one used home designer? When you first start a new plan it gives you default styles templets you can choose form. Wondering if Chief has something like this or a library we can download them? Screen shot attached if that's helpful. - Thanks!

    Thanks!!!! I could not figure it out. I went back a forth through the help and forms. Is there a way to edit a just a single label Text size?
  16. divreig
    Anyone know how to change label text size? I am working on a large building and the layout scaling is 1/32". The labels are too small and cant be read. I cant find options for text size all the label panel, all it has that box that says use default, that I can check and uncheck. But don't know where to edit this default size or the individual label text size.
  17. divreig
    yes existing and demolished windows in the schedule would do the job!
  18. divreig
    I will check out x12. I downloaded the bata, but was did not know if I wanted to pay for it when final is released. I Just got X 11 in November.

    Is there any way to customize window label callout. The automatic callouts made when you use a the window schedule? I do a lot of Remodel work and would like to change the number, the one with in the callout when the . And add possible add info like existing or proposed or demolished.
  20. divreig
    Thanks will take another look at it.
  21. divreig
    thank you I understand what you are saying. but the software puts the description box in bottom of the call out. essentially it's taking the information out of the wrong box. Looks like a technical issue on my end I will reinstall and try it
  22. divreig
    Not sure what you mean?
  23. divreig
    Thanks for your response. That's what I thought was supposed to happen when the automatic button is checked. But in my case its the sheet description not sheet number. Perhaps I need to reinstall.
  24. divreig
    I think I am missing something. I want the "Text Below Line" on my Elevation Camera Labels/callouts to show the sheet number. And make this the default. Does any one know how?
