Make sure that layer is set to include in the material list. Look in the ALDO.

Didn't mess around with this but I believe from a similar situation that the key would be to not use attic walls between so thus having a balloon framed wall if not the second story or the walls around the first floor main roof get messed up with the faceting.

Interested. PM sent.

Place a closet rod in your plan, grab it and hold CTRL or CMD (pc vs. mac) and drag it into the Cabinet or use point to point to move it where it would be in the cabinet. Open it to set height where you want it.

This post seems a little "phishy"...

Most likely you are comparing a 2d autocad file to the 3d file that chief puts out. There is alot more detail to process.

I think you misread what I am stating. I totally understand and I am not saying it is not going to run it well and be even better than most light-weight computers. I worked professionally for over a year with a 13" macbook pro hooked to an external monitor and then two once I got an e-gpu. But it is a lighter weight computer overall. An amazing one for what it is. However, and this is what I was referring to with my statement; when you use chief professionally and you go to a high end computer (I use a mac pro 6.1 from 2018 that takes it to the next level), you will see the difference and why I refer to it as a lightweight computer. My wife's 13" mbp with m1 chip is a great computer, but once you have gone to a high end unit you don't go back for work. There are a reason guys are willing to pay 5-20k for a high end computer when they use it professionally.

I think it is good advice but I don't think there will be any issues with the m1 mac mini for basic work other than not being able to run RTRT like most computers. But really a mac mini or the macbook pro 13" are not great computers for chief really as they are lighter weight computers.

with the sheer amount of people who do not understand the new features coming in x13 I am wanting to know is this actual information you have on a hypothetical beta being run on this or are you confusing the fact that non rx cards will not be able to use the rtrt NEW feature that most computers are unable to take advantage of without the GPU upgrade?

Sorry forgot about this post but yes I tested my wifes new MB pro 13" w/ m1 chip and Big Sur and no issues with either. I would say it is faster than my old 13" 2016 mbp I used previously and on par with my newer laptop which is the 2019 16" mbp and the gpu does decent for what it is which is a lighter weight laptop. But not ready for production Chief work yet (especially with the 13" size). Now for as-builts or the occasional light weight 2d work it is great. But I will stick with my mac pro 6.1 desktop until the supposed newer mac pro Light version that is rumored to come out soon with a m2 or even m3 chip(s) and the new apple GPU.

As Doug mentions just delete those and let them be redrawn automatically. Nothing fancy about that gable wall.

This can be very fast if you take advantage of the trim to and cut to tools though.

Yes it is a ducted unit in the attic with depending on the unit 4-8" flex ducting with 1 inlet and usually up to 4 outlets. Most use a hepa filter to filter the inlet as well so much more healthy distribution of the air as well.

You can look at a ERV set to pull it's intake from the room with the mini and circulate it to the other rooms as well to use it as a hepa filtered central system as well.

Did you happen to use the planning tool to start that design? If so a layer that shows the original blocks stays on the attic level.. kind of looks like that.

Welcome to the forums. You will hear this soon but please take the time to fill out your signature line with your specifics. It will help others help you. As far as your garage scenario it is very common. This has been discussed many times on the forum. Try searching for terrain, garage, model, symbol, etc. The gist is you make a 3d symbol out of the garage and put it in your house plan file as a symbol on the terrain. Keeps the model size smaller so as to not slow down your computer.

As mentioned above your roof planes are set @ varying heights and below ground. Please do yourself a favor and try auto roofs. It is a really easy plan for auto roofs.

Very true if the roofs are set to the correct height...

Of course this is with automatic roofs but looking at the picture I would venture a guess this was drawn manually???

I have seen this in various different areas and have used it in some island cases. The issue with this is it only really works if you have less depth on the cabinets on the backside as otherwise you are getting too wide for most solid countertops. But to answer your question I do two different methods. I usually do a Base filler there set to 3/4" deep if its closed toe or 3" deep if not closed toe and end the wall at the backside of that cabinet base filler This will report as a filler just like any others. The second method I have done is setup a 6-12" (depending on cabinet manuf.) deep base cabinet(s) the whole width of the island and put in shelves or doors, or whatever is needed for that particular job.

Side to side would be much better suited to use the reverse plan tool.

Select the polyline solid in plan view and note what the layer it is on is, then in the "full overview....3d" mode turn that layer on.

Try to open the ceiling plane and change the material back to default. BTW Use of the material spray painter tool should be used with alot of caution if you are new to the program.

You know what else will apply the wood grain correctly is the Shelf tool. Also a lot faster when building a shelf.

VERY INTERESTING Still processing that to see if I like that... Can see both sides. Curious why they changed it.
