DeLayDesign

If I replicate your original design (Because it appears the download file has been corrected), I see what you're talking about, but looking at how your original file is drawn, correcting it how you have in the download file would be the solution to this problem. Plate height, window interaction, overhang etc. would all play a factor in buildability. Curious though. The framing components you're using for the roof - are they 'actual' size 2x8s? It's been a while since I've seen those. I only ask because your roof structure is set to 8" even. I've attached the file again but modified to recreate the problem. 166289684_D-22-119-BROLLY-FIELDCREST-DEC2022(AS-BUILT).plan

It'll all come down to the components you've specified, so be specific with your framing. I just took a guess at some of the framing information. The last part of it all I used the framing joint tool to get the weird glitch happening at the corner. Roof Framing 1.mp4

----- Sorry @DavidJPotter - I didn't see your reply before posting mine.

Yes; use 'Edit > Edit Area' This will allow you to select what you'd like to 'grab'. For your example you would probably want 'Edit Area (All Floors) Once you've selected which 'Edit Area' you'd like to use, you'll then create a marque box around the entire home. I typically start in the upper left corner and drawn diagonal to the lower right corner. This will grab everything you highlight in the next steps (roof, walls, windows, etc.). It should even bring over your previously established materials. Then in the main toolbar click "Edit> Copy" This will copy everything you've highlighted in your marque box. Open the plan you want to copy the file into and either 'Paste Hold position' (if your new plan is drawn in relation to your copied plans) or copy and paste the recently copied plans and paste them somewhere in the plans. Locate where you'd like a corner of your home to sit and move the file into position. Edit Area.mp4

Hey @payettedesigns I think you're referring to scale sizes? I'm not entirely sure as it seems perhaps you're working in a different format than I'm use to. Most of our plans are drawn on 11x17 or 24x36 pages so the format we use is 1/4, 1/2 and 1/8 primarily. In all my years in the industry I haven't needed to drop to 1/16; but again I may not be understanding the question; so I apologize if that's the case.

Definitely the graphics card. I had the same issue but reverted my RTX 3080 back to before the December update and everything worked perfectly fine again.

For sure! That's how I have done it before as well. It's a bit 'easier' to use. This approach allows your to keep the railing working as intended and you could use a higher number of segments in order to get an even tighter looking radius. The steps involved isn't ideal. Hopefully X15 gives us another way

I created a video for you to references, but it's actually easier than I thought it would be. The file is too large to post directly to Chief, so I've created I've added it to my google drive. The link is below. In the section of the video where I tell the arch to convert to polylines, it asks you how many segments you'd like. I choose 8 with an angle of 11.25 degrees (I pause for a second to show you this), but you can choose any number you want (within reason). The 11.25 degrees is important for the array section of the video, but if you choose another number like 6 for example you'll want to use that degree number instead (6 for example is 15 degrees) You will also notice at the end one of the segments gives me a little trouble. Chief doesn't seem like this connection and wants to break it. For some reason, it happens when I zoom out. It may be a glitch @ChiefArchitectwill want to address... however clicking 'undo' seems to rectify the issue. Google Drive - Rounded Interior Stairs Video

OK - I figured out the curved stairs! Using all Stair tools

Hey @KarenLF Wrapping is actually possible. I use it all the time with exterior deck stairs, but only recently realized how the interior stairs work. It looks like you have the overall concept down... however your stairs are shown overlapping - you don't to do this. Instead you'll want to make sure both stair segments are set up the same way. For my example I added in a set of stairs and adjusted it's properties. Then copied, pasted, and moved the copy into position. From there, I added in a landing using the landing tool. Chief wouldn't let me do it the normal way of just clicking at the top of the two steps. After that you can continue your run upwards. As for a bowed set of stairs - I haven't figured that one out yet and I'm not sure chief can do it. Stair Wrapping.mp4

I just found myself in that same boat as I too wanted to clean up my catalogs Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to do it and 200 imported files later she's all clean As for duplicates. I tend to delete as I find them in my normal everyday use.

---------------- You'll need to specify in the room (or your default) where you want floor insulation to be shown. Then once you've selected that it should be 'auto detailed', it should show up in your material list. Material List - Floor Insulation.mp4

When a dishwasher is placed in a cabinet, the whole cabinet becomes the appliance. For the look you show in your photos, you would need to place three individual cabinets. One 42" sink base, one 24" cabinet for the dishwasher, and one 18" 3Drawer. Although I'm not familiar with what you're trying to accomplish using one cabinet, in order to offset the appliance you'll need to adjust the whole cabinet that is acting like an object... Because of how chief adds the appliance centered in the cabinet, you'll have to do some finagling to get it to look closed off, and unfortunately, I'm not sure how to get the 2D plan to replicate the change we've just made. I would also like to point out that even though you've offset the appliance, you can't 'split' the cabinet face to add items beside it... Offset Dishwasher.mp4

----------- Because I have two 27" monitors or because my signature is obnoxiously huge and I don't know it? ha ha! Either way, UPGRADE I haven't tried painting them another color, but I suppose I could try that. I still want the plants to look like plants, just not washing out like they look sometimes with sun properties.

Hey experts. I've lived in the past for too long, and the limitations with the PBR when it comes to 2D image plant files and a little free time has me trying to play around with the 3D Plant assets. That being said, I'm not a fan of how 'bright' some of the plants look when hit by sunlight, but nothing I do to adjust how they appear seems to make any difference. I notice that our plant files don't actually use Normal and Ambient Occlusion with limits the 'realism', but going into the material properties and choosing 'matte' and adjusting the diffuse to 10, 20, or 30% doesn't actually do anything to the image file that makes up the 3D plant. At least not that I can tell. Am I missing something - do you have any tips or tricks to make Chief's 3D plants works a little better, or should I just move on to the 3D marketplace and bring in new assets?

Oh! I'm sorry, I missed that you were trying to open the file in 3D viewer. Yeah. 3D viewer is trash. It only allows 50MB, which is pretty low for what you would probably be showing to a client. The way I was able to get around this is by having the client download the 'trial version' of Chief. Then simply open your plans on their PC. You would need to export it all so everything opens for them OK though.

Hey @jhoney @robdyckis correct. In order to the the wall to connect the way you'd like, it appears as though you need to adjust your wall layers. I would copy the wall you built then move your house wrap and air gap to the 'main layer' leaving only the brick as your exterior and interior layer. I recommend creating a copy of your original wall because adjusting the layers may ultimately push/ pull your walls away from where you had them unless you've changed your general wall default to lock a specific surface.

Sounds silly, but check to make sure you aren't getting an error message like missing materials. These kind of messages pause the load.

@ChiefArchitect This is new... The software then crashes.

Spoke too soon. Even after the updated Driver I'm still getting the error and a crash.

Oh! No. The graphic driver update seems to have helped. I do have other issues into them though that I'm hoping to resolve, like bay window issues for example.

@ChiefArchitect - I'm sure your team is busy working on X15; is the beta closed? I emailed your team a few times with no response. Additionally - Can we expect an update to X14 anytime soon? There are a few items I've emailed you about that still need to be resolved. Thanks!

I've recently updated my graphics card so I think it's tied to that... but is anyone else experiencing this issue error message? It's new to me, but when it comes up my X14 crashes. @ChiefArchitect - Any suggestions?

------------- Same. Maybe they were flooded with requests. I've since touched base to see if they still need testers.
