I’m glad my imbecility is humorous to you! LOL I'm also glad that you pointed something out to me I didn't know.

Never heard of this "NVME" before and so if someone can dumb it down for me to understand it I would be very appreciative. As you can see in my signature I went with what I though was a pretty powerful computer but now I have been disappointed because everyone told me to get a gaming computer and I don't see it being any faster than what I had before. Not that I'm upset at anyone because i did a lot of research and it was my choice. I never heard of "NVME" so not sure what to think now.

I know about the video and turning on the signature but I didn't understand that you have to have something in your signature box to be able to view others. Am I understanding that correctly now?

I dint know this, Thank You!

Welcome to Chief if you are coming aboard! I love this Program! Keep in mind that a lot of people in this forum has there computer specs in their signature and so you can see what their using. Makes it easier to help others diagnose problems if they know what type of equipment and CA version is being used. The more information the better. My info is below but its not a mac.

Thank you, I have made them myself in the past but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask in case someone new something I didn't.

I want to show a section in my plan (as per attached) and would like to add in the waste drains as per attached picture. Is there a library for waste fittings or do I have to draw it in the old fashioned way?

Importing all my setting into the old plan was definitely the way to go. Thank you both very much!

Thank You for verifying my thought. This is a new tool for me. I read the help on it but I don't always do well with written instruction.

I think I would still like to have the angle hatch back but like Perry said, I will get used to it. Not that big of a deal.

Thinking sarcastically (kidding but not)! Give it time Perry, California will find a way make us use it!

Eric, Did you mean for this instruction of using "Edit Area" to be used as a copy and paste of the old plan to the new plan template? If so, what is the difference between using Edit Area and just using the copy/paste tool? Would it include more of the plan file?

Agreed, and this should be done because it makes sense and it should be an easy fix for them. I also think Chief is doing a wonderful job and appreciate the upgrades.

Understood, I will go through the proper channels. Thank you for reminding me

CHIEF, please, please, please put the hatches back where they belong as you are doing the BETA fixes. Thank You! From all of us

I started from scratch in X11 and rebuilt all my defaults and setup my new "Plan Views" and also started to reconfigure my tool bar. I don't care about losing my sections, details and elevations from the plan, its mainly the structure (foundation, floor, walls and roof) that I want and the plot plan with all the property line and all of the setbacks. I want to re-send the sections and floor plans to my new layout with my newly built "Plan Views"

So then would I do "All On" layer set and edit-copy and paste into my new template?

I have an old plan that I would like to insert into a new plan template I built. Can I get some recommendations of the best way to do that? It would be very helpful and appreciated!

Thanks for the input but unfortunately I have given up. I saw this thread and I just decided to ask the question to see if it my be a similar problem I'm having. I have been on the line with support twice for this issue and they cant seem to help me. I had the same problem with two other Laptop computers so Its not my pc that is the problem. This is a big inconvenience but i have to work around it because I cant afford to spend all my time trouble shooting. I already have too much time wasted. I guess Im just hoping that it will eventually work itself out or maybe a thread will come through with a similar problem. Maybe I will post a video later when I have time so my problem is better explained. Thanks for your help

That's a pretty cool trick. I like it! Thank You

Yes, of course. Sorry for not being more clear. I would like to have these two views for the same plan. One for roof view and one for my framing but on the framing I don't want the fill pattern to show up. I would typically outline the roof with a poly-line and then put the fill pattern in to accomplish this. My question is; Is there a way to just fill the roof planes like I did in this drawing and have another plan view that doesn't have the fill pattern in it? When I create a different plan view just for framing and I delete the fill it also deletes it in my roof view. I was wondering if there is a layer for the fill pattern or do I just have to outline it like I usually do and make a layer for it myself? Even when you do a hatch fill in a room you can't shut it off in other views as far as I know unless I create it myself with a poly-line union. I hope this makes sense

Is there a way to toggle on and off a fill pattern without deleting it? I would like to have a fill pattern in one view and not the other view for the same room. I know I can do a work around but is there a layer for the fill pattern somewhere? Help Please!

I have been having an ongoing problem. When I open Chief on an external monitor it locks up and also every time I run 3D on an external monitor it locks up. Not sure if its related so i will follow this thread. Please keep me in the loop if you can.

You really impress me Rene! You are a total out of the box thinker. I wont even try to do what you do but you give me great ideas that help me! Thank You! Do you have a You-tube Channel?

Out of curiosity, Are you using a desk top computer or a lap top? And are you using additional monitors?
