I am experiencing this all of a sudden too.  Both plans have bay windows too.  Is this a X15 problem.  I have used Chief for 23 years and it has never happened before.

I have the same question, but I want to be able to see the exterior staircase I created on the main floor on the second floor.  For years I have just had to draw lines in to show there are stairs going down.

Thank you ahead for any responses.

Happy New Year.  Today I walked away from my laptop, that I do have some problems with.  My battery is not working so it has to be plugged in all the time, not sure if that has anything to do with it.  Came back to computer after a couple hours and all my toolbars were missing.  Looked at Toolbars and Hotkeys and there is nothing there.  I checked my desktop, everything is fine.  Can anyone tell give me any ideas why this is so.  My libraries are stored on One Drive and when I look  at One Drive it is uploading User_Library.calib.  It will take a while but then it says its uploaded but my toolbars are still missing.

Not sure what has happened.

Thank you for any support.

Ok, forget it, I knew I'd done it before.  Dogear!  I knew as soon as I posted it I,d find it.

I use Chief X15 version.  I think this is probably a really silly ask, spent an hour trying to find it.  I need to chamfer garage door corners, like 12" , can't find it anywhere. I know I've done this before. Thanks ahead to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

X14 User.  I was just looking for more up to date grouped furniture.  I would think X14 would have more than I had on my X6 version.

Thank you so much Michael, I'll do that next time.

Also, If I've drawn a plan that doesn't fit on the layout sheet , I have to reorient to fit.  Then all my text has to be rotated, also any linework I add x,y is wrong.

Omg, YES, under preferences.  I had it turned off.  Thank God I've been missing it.  Why I want to rotate a plan, for instance I have a garage I can reuse on another job but just need to reorient it.  

X14 user. I am wondering if there is a way to rotate my plan and then change the x,y axis to match that rotation.  I have also have a probably simple question.  I have lost the tab at the bottom of my screen that shows current active layer and direction.  

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for all responses.

X14 User. 

I am wondering if there is a way to isolate floor framing. Show addition framing and not the existing floor framing.  Example: Showing framing for a living room addition and not the existing floor framing.

Ok thanks

I think it automatically loaded my old ones.  Thank you I'll look at the database.

Also do I re-download the ones I have had already, like CertainTeed.  I assume there are new ones I don't have.

Thank you for your response.

So, if I download all those catalogs, it won't bugger up my computer RAM?

Info in the Knowledge Base on catalogs for more detail.   Not sure what you mean by this.

Hi there, I am a 21-year user of chief just upgraded to X14.  I was wondering can I download all of the 3D library content to an external hard drive. Can I pull from there or do I have to drop in a Chief library file?  It's been years since I've done this.

Daveswork.  Can you help me?  I am having the same problem.  I am using X6 . All of a sudden, all my library content is empty.  My library icon has a check mark on it.

APT Architect, did you ever recover your library?  I lost mine for some reason.  Didn't know if there was an easy way to recover it without downloading it again

Josh and Eric, Thank you I just got back to this. I didn't put quotes in that's why I couldn't get the right answer.  I did, and now it is reset.  Thank you both!

I'm sorry that didn't help me;

Can you help me I am having the same problem.  How do I reset side windows to factory setting?

Thank you

OMG that worked!  Thank you so much I wasted 2 hours trying to figure it out.  

Sorry, how do I rename the toolbar folder?

I had to reenter my product key on my laptop which worked fine but when I got back on Chief my toolbars were all gone.  I've tried everything to get them back (View Toolbars) doesn't work.  I also went to preferences- reset options- there is no Reset Toolbar in my list.   Any suggestions.
