  1. Thanks I didn't realize Chief will only recognize waypoints. It looks like the gpx file exported as track points in SWMaps. Is there a way to convert my track points to way points since it appears Chief only supports waypoints? https://aviyaantech.com/swmaps/index.html
  2. I have a plan with multiple structures, beyond selecting each room individual there a way to select an entire floor for one structure?
  3. Sorry new b here, how do I add a scale ruler and add scale to a layout?
  4. What's the best way to show Belgrad Turfstone or a similar permeable paver? https://www.belgard.com/products/permeable-pavers/turfstone/

  6. I have a grass region and want to display the area of it. It shows up in Chief but when I put %area% under the label it says 0? Is there a trick to get this to work?

  10. If I have a surveyor topo in dwg is there a way to bring in all the lines? Can you convert these lines to chief contour lines? Is there a good instruction resource how to do this? Sorry I’m a new b
  11. With a plan with multiple structures, is there a way to select the floor of a given structure without having to select each room?
  12. I started getting the attached message for a while it was working and unfortunately didn't catch what started the cause of this to undo. All of my walls should be icf but there are a bunch of retaining walls. I tried changing from regions to lines but that did not fix and the slope wasn't reflective. I tried to remove all elevation regions but the same message. Any idea what could be causing. I also am wondering if there is a way to slim the file down in size. It is about 14 mb which I don't know if that is a big file? 2024-03-05 0819a.zip
