I have three layers sets on my plan: dimensioned, furniture, kitchen and bath. Everytime when I change a layer set in my working plan, all the layers change to the one I switched to in my layout. What can I do to stop my layers from changing? I searched the chief web and tried numerous things.

I have a demo plan, floor plan and electrical plan using the layer sets. When I send a particular layer set into layout, my other two layers gets updated and changed as well. For instance I sent my electrical plan to layout, so my floor plan and my demo plan changed to electrical plan. I can't seem to figure out which settings to go to turn off the automatic update to all my layers when I mess with one. I did try to check/uncheck "modify all layer sets" in my layer settings, but that didn't work.

Is there a way to make the dimension lines thinner and lighter?

@Chopsaw ye it looks exactly like that. I'll contact Tech see what they say. Thanks for the help.

@Chopsaw no I didn't touch anything there. I didn't really mess with any settings at all. It just automatically started appearing today. Maybe I pressed some keys to make it look like this, I don't know. I am a windows user. This is my first time using chief on mac, I thought maybe thats how it shows on a mac?

@Chopsaw No :((( thats how it looks on my screen

@ChopsawYe here's a quick one I just created. Thanks for the help sample.plan

@Chopsaw Ye. I have always used nkba and never had this issue. However I am using the Chief architect interior version. Can that be the reason why its doing that? I always used premier on a windows. Now Im using interiors on a mac. And I dont know how to fix it.

@Chopsaw I have my accuracy setting set to fraction of 1/16.

Yes. I contacted them. No problem going back and forth between premier and interior. Currently using interior at work and premier at home with same projects. Thanks!!!!

I have the primary units set to '_" but all my dimensions are shown as 15.25 in instead of 15 1/4". I am using chief architect interior x10 on a mac. I can't seem to figure out how to show it like this: 1'-15" or 15 1/4". I tried messing with the default settings but nothing seems to change it. And when I try to edit the size of the object, shape. It keeps saying measurement is invalid.

I currently have chief architect premier x10. The firm that I am starting to work for has chief interiors. Will I be able to open the plans in interiors that I create in premier and vice versa? I can't find information on this matter.

so what happens if I use chief architect as an 'autocad' program. Lots of projects I do, I only use cad lines because I don't do the 3D and I like it better that way. Does the anno sets work there too?

@Chrisb222 yes, creating multiple separate drawings for one project. Can you please direct me to such videos?

I have been using chief for a very long time, but I keep learning new things every time. When I work on a project I create multiple different plans, such as existing, proposed, construction, electrical. They all have their own layout, or I have all these four plans on one page but when I need to make changes to the proposed, I have to repeat on construction and electrical every single time and it is really annoying. My question is can I work only with one layout and have all these plans drawn on one plan, so when I make changes, it automatically updates on construction and electrical? Or does it mess up the layout like for instance if I hide the electricals for the proposed, it also hides on the 'electrical' page of the layout? In other words is there an easier way to do this?

Thank you all. It makes sense now.

I placed this sink by accident, by itself and now I can't delete it. It doesn't select. Is there a list where I can go to to select it there or any other way? Josh_Maier_Master_Bath.plan

@DavidJPotter I guess thats something to put in the suggestion box. Thanks

I have x8 and I need to send a file to x7. Is there a way I can do that?

Thank you @MarkMc that is also very helpful! Ill try that out as well.

@DavidJames so you basically multiple copied the PL vertically and horizontally?

@Rosco2017 haha ye, I want to know how thats done, it looks so cool!!

OMG How'd you do that @DavidJames ? It looks exactly what I want!

I am trying to create a wall like the one in the picture with glass and a grid-like frame. How can I go about doing this?
