Does anyone know haw to get rid of the dotted line in a door opening without having to turn off the doors layer? I don't remember ever having this problem before x10. Thank You

I know what you all are saying but I don't even get the difference between a room divider and an invisible wall. The layer is the same for both and I don't understand that either. I understand the concept of it I think but why are they not totally separate from each other as tool?

Thank You Robert, I appreciate the input but I'm very happy with my new laptop for what I do. The problem with the CPU is minor and I was just curious why it did that. From what I understand that even gaming computers will max out the CPU but there are setting that you can do to help with that if its an issue. Other than that everything runs fine But I like to understand how things work.

No worries David! I really appreciate your help and we all fall for the crap once and a while and we really don't know what's true or not with this guy. That is why this forum is so wonderful. We can all learn from each other and help each other out. Even the most knowledgeable guy on this forum can use help from time to time. I only wish I had more to offer than always being the guy to ask the questions but I guess in some ways I am helping by asking in the first place. We challenge each other. OK, enough mushy talk! You are vital to our forum David thank you for your humble attitude and all the effort you put in!!

ThioJoe made a video warning people the he makes humorous videos that you should not follow as truth. However he has what he claims to be a legitimate set of videos to actually help people. The problem is how do we know for sure what is fiction and what is truth. I would like to believe him but I just cant unless I have something to back it up. I think he screwed himself by starting the fake videos and then trying to go legit. So he is technically a dumba** anyway.

I updated my signature and your right I have been absent for a long time. Last year was a rough one. Thanks For The Help!!

My CPU maxed out when I use 3D and causes hesitation while I cut and paste windows and other functions in the perspective view. Does anyone know how to avoid this issue?

Yes it works nice now that I upgraded to X10 Thank You

Joe, What version of Chief are you using? Your library wont download. I'm still on X9

I'm trying to show an exterior bi-fold door system 12 feet wide with 4 panels. One main active door on the left and 3 bi-fold panels that fold to the right. Is there a way to accomplish this? I cant find anything in the library. Please Help

Thanks Guys! I was having trouble making my pool equipment enclosure using the retaining walls as a room because it kept messing up my terrain levels. The terrain wall would have been perfect to use but it wouldn't except the gates I wanted to put in it. So I ended up making a room with an exterior wall and three invisible walls and I just lowered the elevation of the room to get what I wanted. I would like to know if I could have started this whole project different. Was wondering if maybe I should have started with a basement under the entire deck area because maybe I wouldn't have had so many problems with putting the deck in over a retaining wall. Anyway, wanted to share my thoughts and maybe get a little feed back. This is the first time I ever dealt with these different levels. Its not easy to get the terrain to do what you want it to do.

I'm trying to put a gate in a terrain wall but it wont let me. Is there a way to do that? Can someone please help?

I cant seem to find any brick like whats in this picture. Its used brick and I would even like the correct pattern. I checked all the catalogs. Can anyone help?

I can use both methods in this plan on multiple items.

Dermot, your awesome! You just save me a bunch of time so I can get this design in on time. All you guys thank you!

Yes that is the way I would like to do it I think but I'm having trouble finding a help video that will show me.

I would like to build some solid concrete stairs with a landing from a deck down to the pool area. I can think of ways to do it and have before but I would like some direction and other suggestions for a more simple way to build it. My way is very time consuming. Please help if you can Thank You

I have a long way to go yet but you solved that problem for me. Thank you David!

Yes this is the same issue im have. What magic trick do you use David?

I need this deck to go over the top of this retaining wall (cantilever over it about 12 inches).Its not allowing me to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Share Plan.plan

Is there way to get this board and batten siding into my wall design? I know I can do trim boards but can it be built into my exterior wall type?

I'm downloading the core library and it is stuck. Can anyone tell me why. Its sitting at 99%

Oops Im sorry you did share your plan!

You should be able to auto build that roof pretty easy. Share your plan and I'm sure someone would love to try and help you.
