I converted my CAD break symbols for use in Chief. Enjoy Break Symbol.calibz

The one within 60" of the shower & <60" above the floor is required according to our FBCR 2017 R308.4.5

FYI, I'm going round & round on the trey ceiling framing issue with tech support as we speak.

I joined the 90 deg walls first & the dragged the odd angle wall into them. Double-wall, make the southernmost a wall with NO room definition CHF_David 1st Floor_AS-BUILT_02-25-20_V2.plan

All I did was put the offset wall & change the width

There are many helpful folks here on the form that have helped me along the way. I'm still learning and have found that the larger jobs tens to slow the hardware down quite a bit. Notes and schedules are troublesome. But if you put then in a CAD detail that helps. Fancy tables & schedules are not possible with just a Chief schedule. You will need to build a header and even column titles as Rich Text. That said I did a 7 story condo and several small commercial buildings using Chief. The 747 used sketchup for exteriors Good Luck with your transition.

I'm confused, as I often am, if you put the image at #38 and cover it with a simi transparent filled pline @ 37 you get a faded look but The OP said it still obscures the property lines. So what are the property lines? And what draw order are they set to?

Looks like you're getting deep into the pallets, have you seen any computer slowdown?

Yes and very time consuming to fix.

Thanks for sharing that information Steve.

Yes I see it now. It is X12 See attached. I had to do the following to fix all the issues: Make Stair open underneath 1. Added a wall in the powder room & edited it in 3D view. Also, put on a new wall layer not shown in plan view 2. P-solid at the ceiling 3. made this part of the wall an invisible wall segment. 4. another P-solid

No problem [X12] BTW I added a hidden wall to separate the hallway so the molding lines I added would not run wild. I added base molding separate from the crown molding line as the doorways were a problem. See 2 molding layers. CHF_Fabrizio_Kitchen_02-14-20.zip

Using a solid wall with a doorway and separate base & crown molding lines for both rooms.

You may already know this but I did not. You can Right-Click any catalog and select "Search Folder" to limit your search to that folder. I often only want to find items in the "User Catalog".

Please let us know what the issue was. Thanks

Make your terrain larger east/west Use house exterior room, make room polyline, offset 4" so you can see it. Convert to terrain elevation line, set to 20" Falt interior. Offset this line 4', change to no flat Offset the new line 6' change to 15" Turn on rebuild terrain for this exercise.

Are you talking about a wall recess to push the frig back into? If so I use a Niche in the wall.

Should the line types be purged & reset or do they always remain the same?

Found it here too: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FTH\State That Chief X12 entry also had to be deleted. Working OK now.

Thanks. I found this too: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000678431-windows-enabled-fault-tolerant-heap-for-3dsmax-or-dependent-processes-this-may-have-severe-perform Just deleted the entry & will try again. Found this while poking around.

While trying to import the attached SKP file from 3d warehouse X12 quit, no message. So after the third attempt, I get this message from Windows 10 when I start Chief. (See attached) Not sure it is a Chief problem or a windows problem. Anyone work through a similar issue? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/win7appqual/fault-tolerant-heap Floor Polisher.skp

OK it's back. Turned display on & off Then restarted Chief & it's ok now.

The toolbar shows up on the Toolbar dialog.

I migrated my X11 to X12 but my "Custom Electrical Toolbar" did not make the trip. Can I manually copy the custom toolbar? My other toolbars did make the migration.

Odd that this has not come up before. I hope I can remember this the next time I need to import paper space objects. As I said I do very little in Paper space.
