  1. Multiple structures in plan, is there a way to show elevation of only one structure? For example in attached blue is a separate structure I would not like to show.
  2. Anyone have 3d object for Crystal frameless railing system or way to create similar? https://crystalrail.regalideas.com
  3. How do I show a cable railing? Are there any mfr catalogs for various railing mfrs?
  4. Is there a way if you select something in 3d it will select the same in the 2d view and vice versa?
  5. Is there a way to reset working plan view, plot plan, electric etc to default layer selection?
  6. Sorry new b q' how do you get the simplify polyline tool to show up? I have a driveway do I convert to poly line then convert back?
  7. When I checked the box Terrain Retaining Wall on the foundation wall I get the error "The terrain interpolator is ignoring terrain breaks and retaining walls due to complexity of this calculation" If I uncheck terrain retaining wall I don't get the error but my 3d is pretty messed up as you can see I am getting weird spikes
  8. I have an elevation region that is -9' and an elevation region that is -11' and a driveway between the two with the one side a retaining wall and the other side a foundation wall. For some reason chief is adding a -8 region in between and a lot of little swirls. Please see attached photo. I highlighted the elevation regions in Blue and I think I snapped everything in the region against the walls
  9. Thanks it's an elevation line region side that I need to straighten.
  10. I have some foundation walls that are not breaking my countour lines but others that are in the same plan is there a setting I should check or add?
  11. How do you convert a foundation wall to a terrain retaining wall?
  12. Sorry new b q but I accidentally added a break how do I remove?
  13. My plan is taking a very long interpolating and building terrain on M2 MacBook Pro curious if anything I should look for
  14. With stairs and auto stairwell is there a check to build a wall around stairwell or do you have to do this manually?
  15. Sorry new b q: I am sure there is an easy way to do this but wow do I show where 6'8" of headroom clearance is on stairs on a 2D plan?
  16. Is there a key command Mac or pc or quick way to turn stairs view off and on?
  17. Curious everyone's opinion on this whether this will be something will regret?
  18. Hi Eric the terrain should be set to 0', with the ground floor say 3" or so higher than grade. Am I checking this in the right spot?
  19. I am having a problem where I have driveway elevation set to 0', set floor to 0' but floor showing below terrain. Seems like there is a check or something I have set wrong
  20. Curious how many folks include an excavation plan or have excavator do? Most of the cities around me don't require per say but it is nice to be on same page. If so how do you typically do in Chief?
  21. I am having problems with the counter lines for an existing sloped driveway. The driveway is sloped up from street. On the right side there is a large elevation change and then about 3-4' high retaining wall. This seems to be drawing correct. The driveway is relatively flat other than it gradually inclined up. The opposite side once you get to the driveways edge there is about a 2 ft drop to the top of another retaining wall that retains dirt from another lower driveway. I have put in pink kind of what it should look like. What is the easy way to have the driveway gradually slope?
  22. Sorry new b question Is there a way I can turn on and off to be able to show the current topo as well as the new topo once buildings, driveway, retaining walls, parking added?
  23. Good day is there a way to get chief plan data into xactimate or a similar program to get a rough estimate?
