How To Use The 'CALL OUT SYMBOL' In a Door Schedule?
HumbleChief replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Got it figured out from the door schedule dbx. -
I'm creating a door schedule for scratch in a plan file from a PDF and need a unique call out symbol for the doors and the door schedule and see the option for a CALL OUT SYMBOL in the schedule but don't know how to apply it to a specific door? Thanks
-
Thanks Robert! One day I'll be smart enough to find those notes on my own
-
Anyone down load it? Are there notes available?

Need advice on rates to charge for creating models
HumbleChief replied to NewbieMichael's topic in General Q & A
Your decision on your rates and end costs for a customer will not be based on your hourly rate and the time it takes to create a model but rather on what the market will bear. If it takes you 30 hours at $100/hour and you charge $3000 for a 3D model will someone pay that? If so then you've defined a market willing to pay you for your time. What if the market will only bear $1500? Then what? If you can polish your skills enough to get the job done in 15 hours then you are golden. If you can only get $1500 and it still takes you 30 hours then two things. First you have to be willing to accept $50/hour (until your skills improve) or second you might be in the wrong business. -
What Would Cause Auto Detail to Not Generate?
HumbleChief replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Wait, I know the answer. Shut down and restart Chief lol. -
Tried everything I know but I can't get Auto Detail to generate in section views. Cut a thousand sections with no problems but this time I get nothing. THANKS

I agree with all the great posts and advice here and understand Chief to be quite complex, deep, and capable but if it were me I'd concentrate on one thing at a time. For example if you don't understand Saved Plan Views (SPV's) concentrate on that one task. Dive in to SPV's until you truly understand them, they will save hours and hours of effort. If they are confusing, as they should be for anyone new to Chief, start another thread focused on SPV's and learn all you can until they are second nature. The move on to dimensions. Another thread until they are dialed in. Then Layouts last, another new thread, until you have a Layout template that works for you. And learn all you can from this forum. I've been using Chief for over 20 years and have never set up my window schedules in my Layout template which I am going to do right now. Best of luck.

Where To Set The Line Weight Of A Multi Selection Box?
HumbleChief replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Thanks DB That was it. -
I changed my line weight defaults and have been adjusting weights as I go but can't seem to find where/how to adjust the line weight of a multi selection box. Thanks

THANK YOU Glenn!! Both the ploy line road and poly line sidewalk AND the ploy line driveway seem to follow the terrain just right!! The only tin missing is the apron the curb which the PL driveway does not seem to cut but I can easily work around that. Thank you again!!
-
I've never had this problem before but I can't seem to get roads and sidewalk to follow the terrain equally among other problems. DropBox link and video below. THANK YOU https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ah9xv0izjfr6xt/DRIVEWAYS 1.plan?dl=0

Hey Joey, I tried these settings and like them so much better than the default. Thank You

Darned if I don't know what that means. How do you adjust layer line weights P?
