Thanks..ALDO Did the trick! Thanks so Much,,,,Really Appreciate The Help!

I am trying to figure out where I need to go to INCREASE the size of plot plan numbers and compass headings. HELP! I really need for the County to be able to read the numbers tomorrow morning when I meet with the Plans Examiners! TIA Bill Shideler

Right you are! I got it now! Thank You So Much for your help...It is GREATLY appreciated! Bill

Thanks for the tip./..However, the Hole in Roof /Custom Ceiling is grayed out...Do I need to do this in the attic or something?

That's what I thought, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make a square skylight round! I know it can be done (or at least I think it can)! Any help would be greatly appreciated in steering me to the settings I need to make it happen. TIA Bill

I have been trying to figure out how to make a tubular skylight, aka solatube or the like. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA Bill

Right you are! Now, is there a way to adjust the size of the GINORMOUS TEXT when Layout Box Labels is checked?

OMG Well, Chief needs to FIX IT! That is just unacceptable! Thanks for the "heads up"! Much appreciated. Bill

thanks for the help, I ended up having to open each file from the project browser and rename them to the correct and corresponding wall detail...All done now, saved to a new file, and a complete back up created.! Thanks Again!

Once I have that detail open, how do I get to where I "Specify Label"? So for being so dense, but I just don't see it.

I am hoping someone can tell me how to handle this. I have done all the framing, and using the project browser, sent all the Wall Details to a Layout page. When I first did this, everything showed up perfect...The wall detail names on the walls in plan view, corresponding to the labels in the Layout. Well, I made a couple of window changes, rebuilt floors and ceilings and now what I have is this: The wall detail numbers show up correctly in the plan view, but the layout shows: "Wall Layer 4 Viewed from outside". I must be able to change the Views on the Layout to correspond with the plan view! HELP!!!! TIA Bill Funky Labels.pdf Plan View.pdf

Thanks, I have been using HD Pro for the past 3 months and wanted to make sure I could do the same thing with the license in Chief. I am a long time user of Chief Architect, starting with Chief before it even had ROOFS! I closed my business (Homes By Design) several years ago and haven't upgraded until last week-end, so I could continue producing Construction Docs for my home (which burned down in May). I will be contacting sales or tech to try to get the license issue straightened out so I can produce docs without "TRIAL" plastered everywhere LOL.

Can the full version of Chief (v11) be deactivated on one computer and then reactivated on another? For example, I need to have it available on my laptop when I go to the jobsite.
