Here is the plan. Thanks! Oqunquit_Working_12019.plan

Hello All, I have my deck railings set to 'no locate' yet when I auto exterior dimension they get picked up. Thoughts?
-
Ok I did a save-as, shut down machine and rebooted. Now it seems fine. Just a Chief Burp it seems? Thanks for everyones help!
-
It says I have build 19.3.1.8x64 Sept 2017. Im afraid to save it and not be able to access it afterwards...
-
I have never upgraded or anything. That wouldn't have happened automatically would it have?
-
Hi, no this a plan I created and I have only ever owned X9.
-
I didn't even know bumping/pushing was a thing. Im still a rookie. Thank you sir!
-
No, I am just an X9er
-
Another odd thing - I just tried to save this plan to reboot it and I got a warning saying "once sved this file will not be readable by older versions....." NEVER seen that before!?
-
Hi! For some reason all of a sudden I can slide doors and windows right over each other. Normally they get stopped by each other. This happens in plan and elevation... wasn't doing it last night when I saved project but today when I'm able to slide em around willy nilly! Also not sure why this file size is so large - I have a fairly large site plan from CAD in there but still, seems larger than normal. Thoughts? Thanks! Oqunquit_Working.plan

Thank you folks!

Thanks, think my signature is activated now, Not sure exactly what type of garage door style I am going to be using yet, was just looking for a global strategy on how to achieve this effect or if its even possible. Having it shown open in plan would be a plus.
-
Looking to able to add a man door into a garage door, like these products: https://walkthrugaragedoors.com/gallery/ Any tips on how to achieve this? Thanks!

Thanks fellas. Jut dont get why we cant have the cross section slider feature perform as is and output to scale? Its output is really clean and informative. Why the cross section feature is so chaotic boggles my mind.
-
Hey all! I find the standard cross section view output in Chief to be a mess but the cross section slider is pretty fabulous! Is there any way to export those views to scale? Thanks
-
Anyone know why if I try to mull 5 windows of the same type Chief always forces a space between the fourth and fifth windows? Assuming its some framing default but damned if I can find it, Oh this is X9.
-
Wow Kbird You rock! Seems like the easiest thing is a Geek Squad install of a SSD drive? Short money that should improve performance? That video makes it seems like I would get warp speed (drooling)!) but also some potential problems?
-
Haha, I hope this isn't overkill. I really appreciate your help !! OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name DESKTOP-O5EUMUQ System Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. System Model GL702VSK
-
OK thanks. I am using a Asus laptop - are you saying I would need to replace my hard drive to speed things up? Funny thing is I can Raytrace full tilt and wont notice any drop in performance at all...

Hi Mick Hi Mick Here is my system info( I think) : Intel i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.8gHZ, 2.81 gHZ 12 GB Ram 1GB Hard drive GEForce GTX 1070 8 core graphics card

Yeah I talked to tech support and its basically "in 3d camera mode you're gonna be slow but in plan view you should be fine" - which is essentially the case for me. Gets slower and slower as my model gets more complicated. They did say that the undo functionality continues to be on the radar. Think we need to just keep hounding them with suggestions, Nice on the surfing! I surfed in Guatemala and El Salvador a few years back to.
-
Any tips on how to live with it? Now Im just doing a ton of "save-as" but it gets really cumbersome after awhile. By the way - is that you surfing in your profile pic?
-
Yeah sometimes the cursor indicates your Undoing, other times it doesn't. Redoing takes just as long so it gets very frustrating. I don't understand how a program that has been around as long as Chief and is competing in a such a competitive space still has such a major structural flaw.
-
Kbird - a drop down menu would be great! Or even just a simple dialog box somewhere telling you what command it is currently undoing when you hit Ctrl-Z. As it stands now its a crap shoot - sometimes I over undo which is really irritating. I have all of my folders on my hard drive as I thought that might be the issue. I have plenty of space on the drive as well. Ill try calling tech support and report back.
-
David - I said quite clearly in my OP that I really like Chief, minus this issue. But this is a big issue It reminds me of the days of hand sketch without a good eraser. Not good. I have seen many posts about this being a problem, so I know its not just me. Maybe we all have a setting incorrect somewhere? instead of giving me attitude maybe try and add to the conversation in the hopes of resolving the issue?
