I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Seems like there's a missing option in the roof dialog. If we could separate rafter tails from the rafters (calling them something else, of course), we could vertically offset them to be below the soffit. To my uneducated coding mind, it sounds simple. I suppose it's not.

I'm looking for suggestions on the easiest way to replicate the corbels. Rafter tails are not an option because the corbels are below the soffits. Manually attaching them to the horizontal elements should be simple, or so I assume, but I wonder if there's an automatic method. This abandoned home will eventually be a beauty once the squatters and their poop have been permanently removed.

I'll give that a try.

Hi David. I'm aware of those options, but they are workarounds. If I want a green forest background, the inside rooms are tinted green, unlike in real life or photography. Thank you!

Looking at past threads, this topic has come up repeatedly. Since it's been a while, I'm asking anew: Is there a setting that will cause a backdrop to NOT color a scene? I can do it with images, or in Photoshop, but has Chief implemented a button that I don't know about to fix this? The attached scene is entirely too green when a forest backdrop is deployed.

That's it. Thanks so much!

Here's the plan. It's too large to attach. Thank you! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/34qyy46biydezivkmswo5/Untitled-1.zip?rlkey=s6n4emcde0t4iudk2b7plw7ss&dl=0

Any ideas if there's a way to prevent automatic ceilings from butting into an adjacent room where the ceiling heights differ? I'm sure I've encountered and fixed this issue in the past. As I age, my memory plays silly tricks. Not happy about that.

My solution was to copy all the files from the old machine and add them to the appropriate folder on the new one. But that is not intuitive.

Since getting a new machine, the library content other than Core and User is online only. Does anyone know if there's a way to download all at once? Otherwise, it means selecting each folder in the library individually to download them. That would be an unnecessary waste of time.

Only if they are identical, otherwise, you'll have to address them one at a time.

I don't know if this is helpful, but it's what I did on the most recent sound abatement plan. Pages from TING 02-2.pdf

Thank you. I will look into that!

I'm looking for someone who will measure a home in Indy. We work all over Indiana and the Midwest.

Thanks Ben. The only issue is that the article doesn't say how to actually download the old version.

Figured it out! Posting in case this happens to others. In the Digital Locker, you can select the checkbox to show upgrades. If you've been a user forever like me, the old version pop up and show the activation codes. Yay!

I should qualify that. They can be opened with X8, but how does one acquire a copy of X8?

Does anyone know how to open very old Chief files?

I tried a few different pendants. Do you add those on a custom ceiling plane?

All good suggestions. Thanks!

Just curious on everyone's tactic to make pendants and chandeliers plumb on a sloped ceiling plane. Other than comic relief, I don't see much use for this look.

I noticed Firefox strips the msi extension when downloading the last two updates. By appending .msi to the file name, the program recognizes it and installs normally.

I had the same issue. Adding .msi to the file name worked. Eric once again lives up to his name.
