  1. Sorry new b q' what's the best way in Chief to test and also display a 90 degree turning radius for a vehicle?
  2. Sorry new b question how do I show a sloped terrain in a side clip elevation view?
  3. Curious if when you click on say a wall and it displays various measurements is there a way to click on the measurement to have it stay?
  4. New b here, I have an existing retaining wall and want to be able to turn it off and on and same with the new retaining wall?
  5. Sorry new b here but wondering what folks use to show sewer / water line service on a site plan in Chief? I was going to draw a line maybe with a call out but not sure if there is a better option.
  6. Sorry new b q's but what's the best way to show an outdoor channel drain both on the plans but also in the 3d?
  7. Any good cad blocks that can be inserted for timber and/or brick retaining walls?
  8. I have two survey's that are to scale want to align on a common point is there a way to do this easily or precisely. Trying to drag and drop but it's a bit tedious since I have to show the layer and then hide the layer move the one then show the layer again. I'm sure there is a better way.
  9. I ended up restoring from backup everytime I would try to move would get the endless colored pinwheel and it would freeze up.
  10. Thanks for your help! When I do select all I get the pinwheel and it freezes, is there a way to move to new layer without select all? It won't let me delete the layer causing the issue since there is data on there. Basically I had imported a dxf to that layer something must be messed up with the dxf or import
  11. I added a layer and every time I try to do anything with layer I get a never ending colored pinwheel on my screen. I want to zap out the entire layer but it won't let me since there is something on it. Is there a way to get around this?
  12. Sorry new b q' I imported a DWG into chief but scale is off how do I change the scale to reflect the DWG which is 1" = 30'?
  13. Sorry new b question but with a fence how do you adjust the default distance post to post or panel size?
  14. On a Mac when you click on say a fence it will show measurements is there a key command or option to get this to remain on the screen even after deselecting?
  15. Good day what is the best way to diagram sewer water line in Chief?
  16. I'm getting the following error and can't figure out what is causing this is there a good way to determine? Interpolator.cpp(395): Warning #272032197 "The terrain interpolator is ignoring terrain breaks and retaining walls due to complexity of the calculation." 02/22/2023 05:49:56 PM Build: 24.3.0.84 macOS ARM
  17. The Apple Watch ultra and iPhone 14 pro max support a L5 GPS. https://support.apple.com/kb/SP879?locale=en_US Really curious what app MatthewCarr used above would like to test out with my Apple Watch ultra
  18. Hi Matthew if you don't mind me asking what app do you use? I also ended up getting a Moasure and it works very well too. The only problem I am running into is the 3d topo in the Moasure app looks super great but when I bring in either I don't have enough points or I must have a setting or something in Chief that doesn't smooth as much but my topo lines have some swirling
  19. Thank you everyone for your help! You are what make the Chief community great! Thanks!
  20. I basically use Chief to get the floor plan and locations down and know enough to be dangerous but by in no means any expert. Looking for an expert to take my file and basically apply some finishing touches, add their magic and sheet up. Can you message me if you can help. I can send you the file to look at.
  21. Thanks I am having a bear of a time trying to make this design does anyone have an example I can try to decipher / emulate
  22. Added this additional photo to show the shed dormer front is flush with the 2 floors below, the roof overhangs a bit
