I think he is as I don't think Chief can do those stairs using the Stair Tool, P.Solids would also work PS best to use screen snips not PDFs so people can see directly in the Forum....

It's not automatic , you could use a Exterior Room Moulding Polyline if it goes around the whole home ( ie is the Frieze under soffits too.) (same way you'd do the Band / Watertable down lower in the Pic.) https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00070/adding-a-belly-band-to-a-structure.html Or a Molding Line or a Polyline Solid both Drawn in Elevation

Yes both are listed on Chief's Known incompatibilities webpage which I have also reposted to a Thread in the Tips Forum for Forum Users to Find. There is also a fuller Post on the Nahimic Issue related to multiple monitors in the Tips forum.

There is no cheaper way than to pay the SSA each year to stay current , that being said I would say X11 minimum , and X12 better, especially on the Render side. On the Render side X13 only offers benefits for PC users with a RTX 2/3000 Card. ( you have no forum signature with current version or OS listed which many help with better advice ) M.

Select the Cabinet , then hit TAB to skip to the next nearest object. M.

It should work with the Shower Wall set as a Partition Wall , at least in this situation in X13 it does as the Shower Wall is defined as a Partition by default. * I am not sure if it works in all cases as I have not tested.

Nope , that's what I tried to say , not well apparently ...... we've had (software) PBR since X10 , they then started work on the new Astral Engine for the RTX hardware for Real Time (Hardware) Raytracing. The 10 series and 16 Series can use the RTX APIs/Code after Nvidia allowed it in their Driver about 2 yrs ago, but it is via software methods and much too slow in most situations and Chief removed it during Beta as even the 2000 series is significantly slower than the 3000 Series Cards. M.

I believe the 1080 will show the Original PBR views after Chief decided the 10 series weren't fast enough due to not having RTX Cores, I don't think the 1660 does either , but it should show on the Render TAB > VideoCard Status ....if RT-PBR is available. ie : Hardware (Real-Time) Raytracing. Couple of thoughts ....make sure all roof planes are joined properly especially since it is vaulted to avoid light leaks and I don't see any lighting in the Vaulted room at all which will cause Chief to add it's own "automatic light" if you don't provide it yourself. Mick.

You would have to ask them if it is not posted on the Web like S.Williams colours , the Hex Value will work too. Perhaps suggest they supply a fully Library for use in Chief if you use them regularly. There are also color convert websites like this one ....but I don't see REEB. https://convertingcolors.com/list/sherwin-williams.html https://convertingcolors.com/list/benjamin-moore.html Mick

Yes both on ANNO Proposed Dims Layer I figured you had hit the Auto Exterior Dims Button twice to try and refresh them without thinking and then realized it wasn't on and reset it to auto refresh but that still leaves the original set underneath hiding till you move something. M.

I thought perhaps you had clicked twice on the auto button when Auto Refresh was off..... let me look at plan.... yep 2 sets of Exterior dims apparently, not just the ones you have in RED.... when pulled to side Edit>Delete Objects>Auto Dims and do again seems to fix it.... or do it manually so you don't perhaps lose all the Dims on the Plan if important --- or try in a save as plan 1st.

Many Paint manufacturers supply the RGB numbers ( see Chopsaw's pic above or mine below ) on their websites for the colors, eg. BM and SW, have them, so you can try that but if you don't have a color accurate monitor as Larry mentioned it may still not look right. Not sure how you got Black Gene if you clicked on the Blue as it seems to work okay.... My try using EyeDropper :

double click on the Auto button maybe? auto refresh On? M.

Chief NEEDS to connect to the Registration Server every 10-14 days via the Internet for security reasons or it can lock you out, so in this case that may have been the issue as all licenses since X10 now use the same Serial No# , ie your Ser. No# is for the User , not the Version these days. Mick.

Sept.18th. 2021 Just a FYI.......If you have not run a Catalog update recently ( see Post No#2) on your Libraries is is worth doing as Chief has updated all the Core Libraries. * Updated PDF in Post 1 as well

Chop is likely right as the doorway won't allow a 45° angle on the right side Jamb M.

Yes that's how I normally do it , I have added the CUT Icon to my Toolbar , as I am not a keyboarder so don't use Hotkeys much.

Chief's latest take on using House Symbols for example in a Subdivision : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00344/modeling-a-subdivision-or-lot-with-multiple-structures.html M.

Yes that is what I was remembering with some Walls Glowing in PBR M.

Use a joist Direction Line to swing the Joists as needed, the Beams will follow if Auto generate is on.... You may also need to take control of the Plank Direction ( uncheck auto and spec yourself ) Otherwise you will need to turn off Auto Generate Deck Framing (* in the Room DBX ) and move items manually as needed. Mick.

I think I remember Issues like this in X11 / X12 with PBR Views but don't remember the Fix, so a plan would be a help or perhaps send to Tech Support so it get logged if a PBR issue. M.

In the Past I have just made one thick wall eg 16" and used notes/details per Manf. PDF etc M.

This is hard-coded and has always been like that , despite multiple requests for the User to be able to Specify it. They always build on the floor below the one Drawn on , however you can usually copy and paste them to the FDN Level (* then delete off level one) as Chief will build the Posts down to the Terrain anyway. Mick.

Different camera Layersets? with Attic Walls Layer turned off in one? M.
