  1. Thanks David, I will try that.
  2. I'm working on as-builts for a traditional house that has the 2nd floor within the attic space and all the roof bearing lines are loaded onto the 1st floor walls. The issue is that even after I add a second floor with the "make new 2nd floor blank plan" tool, then add some walls to make them rooms, the rooms do not register as rooms/finished space. One room did however show up and I labeled it as the bathroom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! I'll upload the drawing file as well.
  3. Crud. I will see if they are offering a free upgrade for x-13 or have updates for x-12. I have x-12 that I own and I'm not currently upgrading or on subscription. Thank you for the response though!
  4. I am creating interior elevations for a two story home where the common living space & entry are two floors tall using the "open below" tool. When you use the interior wall elevation tool, it will only show you the floor that you're on, not both floors. I would like to see both floors in the wall elevation camera, is there a way todo this with out doing a full house cross section and then zooming in/cropping? screen shot below shows the main floor using the interior wall elevation tool. Again, hoping to see both floors while using this tool.....
  5. There's a weird exterior intersection where the issue starts. I've attached the file. No matter what wall type I choose the whole wall will show that way even if that box is ticked. A house.plan
  6. I am working on some as-builts and the home has a vaulted great room that runs the length of two floors. On the opposite side of the wall is a bedroom on the main floor and the second floor has a dormer room (the tallest part of the image). The vaulted room and dormer room have a common wall but the exterior side of this wall that extends above the roof shows drywall instead of siding. The roof plane does not overlap the siding so I can rule out that. Any thoughts on what's going on? thanks in advance.
  7. Hello, I am running chief on a Mac. The Mac's default setting for mouse scroll direction is "scroll Natural" for everything. The only issue is that it works in the opposite when I'm in chief. My question is, Does chief have a function so that I may switch it? That way I don't have to change my Mac settings every time I go into chief. Let me know, thank you!
  8. Thanks for the tips. It's a 4 acre site with multiple buildings so I decided to go ahead and move the building instead. It wasn't as difficult as I thought but only after going through all my layouts and plan views will I know if any problems will arise. Thank you again. If I find any issues I'll post again with my findings.
  9. I have a fully developed drawing plan for a pool house project. After speaking with the local building department I found that I need to move the building a few feet. Obviously I can group select the building with annotations and all but I was wondering if there's some additional tips you could give before I do? I started by creating a plan view that has all layers on and then began to remove terrain layers and things that would not move. I haven't done anything else yet. Let me know if you have any tips! Thank you in advance.
  10. Thank you Humblechief and Steve. The method Humblechief recommended worked perfectly. Thank you!
  11. Hello, I made a few mistakes and am looking for help on a quick solution. I have a plan file and layout file that I've been done with for a good while now and are fully developed. Yesterday I made a good 3 to 4 hours of revisions to the referenced plan files but proceeded to save that plan file with a new name. (at the time I was thinking I should have a backup of the original) Unfortunately because of this the layout file still references the old plan files. My question is: Is there a quick and easy way to have the layout file reference my new edited plan file without having to reinsert each layout and elevation page manually?
  12. I have a MacBook Pro and by default the wireless mouse settings is set to "scroll natural". When I go into chief it works in the opposite which means I'm constantly logging into apple settings and switching it back and forth. Is there a way to make this change in Chief Architect so that I do not need to do this every time? Probably and easy fix as per usual but not always obvious at first. Thanks in advance.
  13. Thanks Glen, I will try that as well.
