  1. By chance did you manually adjust your wall heights instead of changing the ceiling height in the floor level ceiling height specifications?
  2. That is our beloved ALDO (Active Layer Display Options) box. Keep him open and watch him whenever you click on something, or when you can't click on something, or when you cant see something, or when you don't want to see something...
  3. You can export a list of the "hotkeys" or edit and set your own. Try a search for "HOTKEYS"
  4. Lots of information there but I think maybe some examples of WHAT you are trying to accomplish and what types of symbols etc you need would help get an answer. There is lots of capabilities in the existing schedules (especially the notes schedules.)
  5. Pretty sure you are sending as a live view and it is showing the pixelation of the picture but if you are sending as plot lines then report it as Michael says.
  6. Open the plan file with that saved plan view and make sure they are showing there. Check to make sure those leaders are showing. Most likely they were drawn manually and are on the cad default layer?
  7. Check to make sure these settings are correct: Are the walls set to ballon frame instead of be automatic? (Wall DBX>Structure Panel) They should be set to automatic. Are the walls NOT set to default wall top and bottom heights? (Wall DBX>Structure Panel) They should be selected to default.
  8. Manual roof planes? Sometimes caused when the roof planes are not precisely square or aligned.
  9. I tell you what you handle 1-12 and I will take on the big one on 13. 50-50 split.
  10. The only problem with this setting which should work as well as long as your rooms have definition is under decks the terrain will also be hidden.
  11. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/6108/foundation-garage-grandview-build-project.html?playlist=127
  12. Just to mention this box is simply a search tool for plants. It has no changing of any of the components of the plants rather just filters the plants.
  13. OR There is a dedicated terrain hole that automatically creates a hole where the building interacts with the terrain when you select the terrain it shows up in the edit bar.
  14. Check in the bonus catalogs there is a basic tile pattern for both of them. you can mix them with colors to get what you want.
  15. Open the deck structure panel as well as the wall structure panel and have a look.
  16. @Design_By_Gordon @Renerabbitt is a highly recommended source in your back yard. He also has a great team to back him up getting things done right and fast.
  17. Manually change it in the wall framing and it will report correctly to your schedule.
  18. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/5-qa/ Is the forum specific to Home Designer Pro and the Home Designer suite of programs. It's usually best to post over there as this is designed for the Chief Architect suite of products such as Premier and Interiors pro versions. Many items are similar as it's the same company and design team but there are many here who are not familiar with what tools HDP does and does not have. As far as screens I don't believe they are available to do on their own. I also don't think it will be a high priority for the developers but you never know. Within each forum there is a suggestion section where you can place the suggestion there. There are definitely ways you can fake a screen in the windows but that would be best from an expert in your software to describe.
  19. Search the term island room in the help file.
  20. Also good practice to draw and resize walls in a clockwise order as well so the exterior side of the walls are out.
  21. I think you need to give a little more info. My best guess is possibly ceiling heights do not match what the walls are at? Any manual manipulation of the walls? Is the default wall height top and bottom selected?
  22. You know that "real" Architectural Designers do that all the time as well right... https://aibd.org/what-is-a-building-designer/
  23. Glad it worked but just so you know there is a toggle button as well over on your right side menu bar.
  24. Evidently I am not the only one wondering how to get the symbol? Am I mistaken here but is this just a promotion post? I am not going to give you another downvote. I understand and appreciate that you make symbols for sale. They are really good! However isn't this type of post best in the offering services forum. Symbols and content is where we share with others when we want to do so. For example here is a free Byron Apuano 24x48 tile.calibz Byron Apuano 24x48 tile pattern I did recently. Maybe it will helps someone.
