  1. I don't know... What about printing to PDF is slow as molasses? We print to PDF on all our plans we send to customers for review.
  2. I guess I wouldn't say this is the "fix"...probably more of the work-around. I just edited a truss, deleted all the old ones, and offset the correct ones so they're all right. I don't know why it's doing what it's doing for you. Kind of weird. 1214266502_Trussproblem.plan
  3. So you can actually drag the newel post over to be in front, but CA does NOT like it. It immediately just makes it a half post (regardless of your post style you select), and there is a lot of funkiness in how it builds in 3D.
  4. You betcha. Glad to help!
  5. Yep, I think Rob is right. Here is the door along with a screenshot of how it looks on the plan. OH Door.calibz
  6. There is a layer called "Stairs & Ramps, Stringers". Make sure that's turned on. Then turn on "Draw Newels" and "Draw Rails" in your stair specifications DBX. It's under the "Newels/Balusters" section.
  7. I have all my stringers and newels, etc.. turned off in plan view...so I didn't notice. Here's a snip on what they look like turned on. I guess I don't know what look you're going for, but looks ok to me.
  8. You mean something like this?
  9. Can you send the symbol over and we can look at it? Meaning just export that library item from your library, and attach it here.
  10. But, if I were you, I would draw the panels individually on your symbol, so that it looks nice in elevation views. Then you can place the windows more accurately, and it would be realistic to how the doors actually are built. If you draw multiple panels on your door symbol, you still set the number of vertical panels to "1" like I mentioned above. I attached a "plan view" screenshot of my OH door plan. I just use this plan to create OH doors when I need a different size, or custom OH door.
  11. Change the number of panels on your door to be 1.
  12. How are beaded inset frames not already a thing in Chief?!...I think beaded inset frames have been around just as long as inset cabinetry has been around!
  13. Are you using three doors (one hinged and two fixed)?...and are the doors all set to 0" from floor to bottom before you mull them? The only way I can duplicate the issue is by setting the sidelites off the floor. If you have a plan that has the issue, zip it up and send it over.
  14. You can apply to be on the Beta team as well...so you get the goodies just a little bit earlier
