  1. Very helpful, thanks. I worked through this and ended up with a few other questions, but the info you provided (creating Reference Sets from Layer Sets being the key for me) was enough to search KB; came up with answers I needed. If anyone else might be interested, check out: http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00795/ This also provided insight: http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00765/ DSH, I'll dig around for you videos too--they are always helpful. Thanks again.
  2. Perry, can you elaborate on "Reference Sets"... I've read a lot about these in the forum but found no relevant information in Chief's User & Reference Manuals. That is, except for the "Reference Display Set" shown as red lines. Thank you.
  3. Late to the party, perhaps for future inquiries--worked for me: Reverse Plan The Reverse Plan tool is a quick way to mirror a plan so that everything on all floors of the entire plan is swapped left to right. Select Tools> Reverse Plan to reflect an entire plan right to left, as though it were reflected about a vertical line. Reversing a plan rebuilds the entire model and affects views sent to layout.
  4. Try this... Edit>Default Settings>Camera>Rendering Technique>Glass House> make and save adjustments Other defaults can be adjusted from Rendering Technique too.
  5. Go to Help under Tools, select "Use Reference Manual"... When it opens, Ctrl+F and type Cabinets... Reference Manual is your oyster.
  6. Glenn mentions the User & Reference Guides. These are accessible directly through Help on main toolbar--each opens a browser window with respective guide in searchable PDF. Won't tell you how long it took me to figure out that little gem. Once opened, I'd save to Desktop (or other folder and create Desktop Shortcuts). Those guides, the forum and vids Keith mentions, and poking around here: http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/database.html helped quite a bit. I do not know if you can still sign up to the 'old forum', which we transitioned out of early this year... check with an Admin... wealth of information there too.

  8. We've used this Sherwin Williams site with great success, mostly interpreting colors from clients' favorite photos. Photographed colors are translated to Sherwin Williams colors for design (many cataloged within Chief) and into finish selections sheets (for contract docs): http://letschipit.com/
  9. OP, if it is the Construction Master Pro DT, either Staples, Office Depot, and most other office supply stores should have it (or be able to order it quickly). Paper roll is: Width: 2-1/4” (57mm); Diameter: 3-3/8” (86mm) or less
