  1. They are probably stuck on your other screen. Try preferences>reset options>reset side windows
  2. It was taking it from your defaults. But you had manually adjusted the rooms to not follow the defaults. Best except where you have mixed floor systems (different size joists or conc. slab with raised joist) on the same floors to leave all to follow defaults and then adjust your floor defaults so that everything changes if you need to.
  3. This is chief's bumping to allow for trim to be installed without having the cut-off look. Of course with as-builts that sometimes does happen. With chief there are always different ways of doing things. In this case 2 come to mind. 1.) If it is only a few windows, turn the interior casing off on the window and close dbx. Place the window the 3" away from the wall. Turn Interior casing back on for the window. 2.) You can turn the ability to bump the windows by casing off in Default Settings>General Plan Defaults>General Settings.
  4. Do you use a 3d mouse? If not careful and you can skew your views with it.
  5. So it appears there is a glitch. I would send it in to tech support. The error was able to be fixed once I set all the defaults correctly but only after I placed a joist direction framing reference and manually changed that to the 16" depth did it start building correctly. I am guessing maybe you placed one of those and put in the 5/8" sheathing thickness instead??? But it should be overwritten once it's deleted and go back to defaults which is where I believe the glitch is. BTW you have all of your floor heights changed in your model manually instead of using your floor defaults so there are other issues as noted above and in this picture:
  6. As @madcowscarnivalmentions it is showing a step in your footing. It can be turned off as it's on it's own layer. Search the Aldo for "Footings, Step markers.
  7. FYI not sure if you saw there was a small update released today that specifically handles a bunch of Mac issues.
  8. I have a hunch what Scott says here is possibly your problem???
  9. It will connect as long as it has a platform to connect to and the origin end are within 6" of each other.
  10. You cannot place it in the Parent menu for Cad Lines but you can place any library item on your toolbar and move it right next to the line parent tool.
  11. This is actually with my old template that is brought forth from x12. Still refining my new x13 template. It works just fine without offsetting foundation if you build the foundation to the exterior layer of the sheathing.
  12. Let me give this a shot: Wall Type 1: Wall Type 2:
  13. Not positive and not at computer but I think to get this to work you have to match up the closest tread to the upper surface instead of the lowest. Just like you would on the other examples.
  14. I think you are asking a different question Mark.
  15. I’ll bite. Mick, next time you are down in Panama ice cream is on me!
  16. I had that issue with google drive sync even though I do not use it for chief. It was running in the background and it caused this issue. Not running and no issues.
  17. Usually it is just a standard 24" depth cabinet that is held out away from the one wall for some reason. Use Cad lines at 24" and 30" to represent placement. Place your 45 degree cad line to the width you want then you have your placement points.
  18. Kindly describe the issue better and including a Screenshot of the issue and .plan file is always helpful. Also since answers are always dependent on your software version and many times your hardware please fill out your signature with that information to help us help you.
  19. Just to note that it only shows up once you have something selected.
  20. I think the goal is to move it 1/2" farther away from the cabinets that are on the wall (i.e. currently at 41.5" and wants to move the island to 42" or something.)
  21. I think you are going to need to communicate what you are seeing and looking for better. It looks like everyone is guessing of what area you are talking about. This is a simple cross section I pulled in Steve's plan with a dimension thrown in that shows a 110" Ceil Ht. Can you help us and describe a little better what area and where you are seeing the 97 1/8" ceil. ht. and if that is wrong what do you want it to build at??? The plan seems to be building the model exactly as it is currently programmed so working properly. Most likely you are looking for a different outcome.
  22. Not positive if this is fully NKBA standards, as I was unable to find it on NKBA when I used it but this is what I did:
  23. There is a "Hinge Top" door you can setup and you could split that to show a double door that is hinged but it would show the top hinge opening indicator.
  24. It is an option for the standard window. I admit I had to look it up as I know them as a louvered window (also what chief calls them).
  25. If you meant to attach a plan file (recommended) it is not here.
