Who uses Chief Architect the most between the Architect and the Architectural Technologist?

Take a look under the Newels/Balusters tab at the top of the page.

Try using a solid railing (aka half wall).  You can specify the height you want for a solid railing in the specification dialog.

It worked! Thank you.

I open my half wall for detail modification and under General, it is only giving me the option for thickness, length, and angle. I cannot seem to find height.

Ok. I'll try that.

As you see in picture one, I want my walls to remain at such height. But when I add a roof, these interior walls are effected by the roof and extends itself as shown in picture two. How can I add a roof without effecting these interior walls?

I'm using x12.

Thank you Kbird1.

It won't hurt when you see issues like this to click the File association Button in Preferences.....especailly useful if you run more than one version of Chief as Windows will something swap the File association to the last used Version , so for example double Clicking a.plan file will open it is X11 or X10 not X12 as you wanted.

 

Ok.

No, I don't see any other program other than X12.

Ok.

I managed to fix the issue. When I download catalogs from my browser, I save it to my desktop. Once on my desktop, I select and drag the file onto Chief Architect. Chief Architect then accepts and downloads the files successfully with texture! 

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it your kindness.

I had this problem in the past. For some unknown reason some of the file paths under Preferences, General, Folders were not pointing to the correct X12 folder, some were still pointing to my previous X11 folders, make certain to select Show all Program Paths just to make sure. I just changed the folder name and all was good. I can only think that when I upgraded from X11 to X12 that I did not properly migrate things over, likely too excited to try out the new version.

 

Another thing to watch for, after the catalog is downloaded from your browser there will be displayed at the bottom of your screen an option to open the file. When you select this it will automatically run the catalog installation file, for it to know to install this in X12, X12 must be known in the file associations, I've encountered this were the file association did not have my latest version of CA assigned. You can set file associations in windows settings. The alternative is to go to your download folder, find the downloaded file, right click and choose open with, select X12 and all should be good.

When I download catalogs from my browser, I don't think it saves to the correct X12 folders. I have to manually open my Chief Architect project, select library in my tool bar, then select import library, and then find and import my catalog stored under my downloads. Then it successfully imports, but without texture.

I'll try your suggestion and see if I can make it work.

I am downloading free catalogues from Chief Architect 3D library. When I import them to Chief Architect, they all have texture missing. How can I fix this?

I am using X12.
