  1. Currently the only option is to have multiple copies of the layout box and cropped and adjusted.
  2. change the swing of the door to exterior swing and will be flush with exterior.
  3. Do they make a 7" thick glass block IRL?
  4. From experience with clients who like to place cabinets holding down the ctrl or cmd button, 99% of the time the cabinets are not precisely joining. Its hard to tell if its the quality of the screen gram but it looks like the upper cabinet was forced placed and is just very slightly pushed into the wall if the line at the front is indicative of its location. Use the bumping arrows to move away from the wall and the adjoining cabinet then bump it back into place and see if that is what is up. Otherwise post the plan.
  5. As mentioned nothing can be done. No backwards compatibility.
  6. Textures are used in Standard type views such as standard, PBR, RT, etc. Patterns are used in Vector type views such as Vector, Line overlay options, etc. Unless that is an actual texture that you can do a conversion from texture to a pattern in the material dbx then you will need to find or create this pattern and apply it to that material.
  7. Do you have the library on your local hard drive or in a cloud storage location?
  8. This is the type of issue that you should post a screen grab of your library panel so we can see what you see.
  9. Literally what reference display does...
  10. Maybe check out @Renerabbitt's pro template. Has all of this already built in with macros and FAR/Area caculations schedules.
  11. Do a search for that question in this forum (been asked and answered hundreds of times. And additionally you can search the help file, specifically for "reference layer display".
  12. I actually disagree with this statement. That will cut the wall to the profile of the terrain. I would personally do it how they would build it IRL and manually cut the top edge and step it down where needed.
  13. Place a terrain break line in the middle of that wall and elevation lines on each side, then shape it manually in a cross section view as you want.
  14. Looking at that I would probably use full walls and place doorways in those spaces that look like doorways. Base trim should be automatic as well.
  15. I personally would do them in separate plan files.
  16. Use soffits for the beams and set as sloped to follow ceilings.
  17. Pretty sure Apple also states that it only supports one external monitor for the M1 Max or regular M1 chip. The m1 ultra on the studio and newer laptops can do multiples.
  18. I recommend you review this video: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/4/understanding-layers.html as well as keep ALDO (Active Layer Display Options) box open while you work.
  19. Makes it that much harder to move furniture or larger items. Add in the winder stairs and it makes it even harder. I personally don't like to do stairs narrower than 39" and prefer 42... FWIW
  20. Haven't used this in a couple of years so may be fixed now as I dont often do it but I believe that way had an issue with custom countertops or maybe it was standard countertops.
  21. This way… 2 sinks made into a single sink symbol.
  22. Assuming that is one cabinet with custom door panels for the sides? Was thinking the faster way would have been two stacked cabinets.
  23. So assuming the following; 1. That you just want that page in your final documents as it is from the engineer with their title block. 2. You want to add that page to your sheet index If this is the case then you can do what I usually do with any consultants’ sheets and not import the pages at all in Chief. I will put a blank page with the engineers sheet name/number and place a single cad item on that page so the sheet will show in the index appropriately. Print the pdf set and then use any standard pdf viewer to remove the empty sheets and add the engineers sheets. It results with the full set with structural sheets included both in the location you want them as well as how you want them and you don’t get file bloat from importing a pdf into a sheet. I use this technique with structural and mechanical engineers, title 24, cal green, interior designers, spec sheets. etc.
