  9. Sorry I'm a new b, Is there a way to create a 3d wall portion similar to below or a 3d object https://crystaliaglass.com/custom-steel-glass-partitions/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing%2FCrystalia+glass%2FSearch+(675605622)&utm_content=search|version2|headline||network%3Ds|device%3Dc|position%3D&utm_term=crystalia+glass
  10. In an area I am working in they define a half story as a gable, hip, or gambrel roof where two exterior opposite wall plates are not more than three feet above the floor. Client wants a rooftop deck. I've seen a couple homes where it appears they cut out to do this but wanted to get some ideas and opinions on this? My fear is it may be a big problem over time.
  11. I have a terrain that has about a 75' elevation change from road. Is it best for me to make the road 0 and the higher point +75' or 0' the top where it is relatively flat and -75' for the road or does it matter? Don't know if program wise interpolation is faster one way or another? Should terrain elevation data always be on floor 0?
  12. 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
  13. I have a plan with multiple structures, beyond selecting each room individual there a way to select an entire floor for one structure?
  14. Sorry new b here, how do I add a scale ruler and add scale to a layout?

  16. I have a GPX file generated from the iOS app SWMaps, trying to import and getting a message "The GPX file provided could not be read in by the program" Any idea how I fix this?
  17. 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?
  18. Is there way I can specify the top height of a retaining wall?
  19. Thanks that worked great, I just want to add to instructions above that I had to add terrain labels layer as well to make it show up for any other new bs out there like me
  20. Sorry new b question but curious how I display the calculated area sqft of a driveway option when I right click I can see the area but would like to show on the plan
  21. 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
  22. With a plan with multiple structures, is there a way to select the floor of a given structure without having to select each room?
  23. 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
