What you saved to the Library and Exported is actually an Architectural Block not a Symbol, ( drop into a new plan to check it) once it is a Symbol ( convert it ) you should be able to use the CAD Block you show as the Symbol's CAD Block by assigning it to the Door using Open Symbol>CAD Block Tab. ** If you convert it to a Door Symbol ( door's are parametric ) you can't control the CAD block but can still place the cad block Manually. and maybe the easiest way to handle this particular Door to get the Round/arched Hole in the Wall.

Kind of..... Chief uses the Floor Structure Hgt + 6" or 8" if it is left on Automatic in the Terrain Spec. DBX...... pg 1172 X13 Manual The program automatically positions Floor 1 a set distance above the terrain. To do this, it first finds the center point of the building footprint. Then, it determines the elevation of the terrain at that point. Finally, it adds the thickness of the floor platform to this value. If a foundation is present, it also adds the thickness of any sill plates plus either 6” (150 mm) or 8” (200 mm) depending on the foundation type. The resulting value, referred to as the automatic Subfloor Height Above Terrain, is how far the default height of Floor 1 is above sea level in the current plan.

There are also other known issues with older MAC systems listed in the known incompatibilities page : Intel Graphics Error Associated with macOS 10.15.5 Update Products & Versions Affected: Chief Architect X12, Chief Architect X11, Chief Architect X10, Home Designer 2021, Home Designer 2020, and Home Designer 2019.

I remember you uninstalling Nahimic last year but a Dell update may have slipped it back onto the system? Chief now acknowledges this Issue as a Known incompatibility along with RivaTuner and several other Apps. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/known-incompatibilities.html Mick.

No time to look at model sorry , but have a play with the Wall Edit Layers Tool , the issue in the 3rd pic is common at railings.... M.

Are you still on X12 ? I never had the issue on X12 but did on X13 during beta, made it un-usable, but it has stopped since the latest X13 Update for me. M.

That's what I said 3 posts above and posted this on Tues. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-drivers-updated/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-251107 Mick.

Elevations are still 3D in Chief , they just look like 2D CAD..... you don't have any hardware details in you signature , but it is possibly a VideoCard Driver Issue I have a 3080 and am still seeing lots of flickering and corruption in 2D views.... M.

thanks for the Reply Ed , it does seem like no one else has seen this issue yet.... Mick.

Sorry missed the 2nd part of the question this morning..... there is a KB Article for the technique on "fixing this issue" , it seems the Elkay Sinks aren't the only ones with this problem. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01203/creating-a-custom-sink-hole.html M.

In my case ( Preferences Error above) the laptop is still on Big Sur 11.4

Any chance this is also causing this Preferences Error I am working on solving with Anne in Tech.Support ? - it only happens on a MAC Laptop with the latest Version installed , and resetting Prefs. and rename the .ini has not helped.

Just select the cabinet and then hit TAB to get the Sink and nudge it over with the Arrow Keys.... no need to alter CAD block...some sinks like the Elkays have the wrong cutouts.... (square vs rounded sink) Mick.

Will it let you open files saved in the newer version of X13? just curious.. (sorry for doubling up but this maybe important info for some)

Will it let you open files saved in the newer version of X13? just curious..

if she is good for your business you might want to offer to pay for her SSA each year to keep Her current ( tax write-off for you).... $45 month is likely worth it.... * FYI....I have several clients just switching to X13 now and am finding different weird issues with old plans and templates bought forward.

Only if you use the Save button and get the Dialog Box Warning (below) AFAIK.... if you bring it in and use Save As eg to add _X13 manually to file name it doesn't, so you'd need the file in the X12 Archives Folder.

No, I can confirm what Chopsaw said..... it would be best if the Freelancer was using the same version as you If you just installed X12 though ( from X10?) then X13 maybe in you Digital Locker for the free Upgrade (SSA), so the freelancer would need X13 too.

I think people will need to see the plan for this one , it isn't one I have heard of before as you can definitely put cabinets over windows in X13, at least in a New Plan from the Residential Template.

Both Bullzip and TurboPDF are windows Only ( TurboCAD's version of Foxit PDF ) , but there is a mac Version of Foxit, it is not free, but you can download a Trial Version. https://www.foxit.com/pdf-editor/comparison.html https://www.foxit.com/downloads/#Foxit-PhantomPDF-Standard/ M.

You can if you have installed one , for example I use the (free) BullZip PDF Printer and also TurboPDF too....

Not sure if it helps but is Save in Plan Checked in the Imported Image's DBX? ( Robert mentions it not in the uploaded plan)
