Yes, gpx is supported but maybe your format is newer than Chief can read? Or maybe it doesn't have any way points?
Here is a tech article that might help:
It has this info about gpx files:
GPS data in a .gpx file format can also be imported by selecting File> Import> Import GPS Data .GPS data may include three types of points - Way, Track and Route. Chief Architect can only import a .gpx file if it includes one or more Way Points. If a *.gpx file is imported and it contains no Way Points, no data will be imported. Route Points contained in a .gpx file will not be recognized upon importing.
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?

With a plan with multiple structures, is there a way to select the floor of a given structure without having to select each room?

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?

Should terrain elevation data always be on floor 0? Does it matter if 0' is higher or lower
in General Q & A
Posted
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?
