3.) The Bathroom and Closet Floor elevations don't match the main Space hence the extra Foundation walls still looking at rest.

Thanks for the Report Back Alan, good to know. M.

Good memory I knew it was a couple of versions ago , I still reach for the old button 1st....

I have also done this , for example with different Cabinet Dims types as shown in the Video below ( not all Dims Videos are X13 refreshed yet but this one is) and think I will likely add a few more for specific situations too.

I think this changed in X11 as we can now shape layout Boxes, but as far as I know holding down the X key and dragging lets you resize retaining aspect ratio on both PC and MAC Mick.

I had this issue myself and MarkMc pointed out the fix after finding it during his testing Reflections and Glass has always been a bit nicer looking in the Traditional CPU RT , but most now consider the PBR-RT "good enough" due to the dramatically different Time frames ie 3-5 mins vs 14 hours , unfortunately materials and lighting don't look the same in both so changes in one can break the scene in the other. ( I am not sure if ALL Materials in Chief are PBR Ready yet? ) No harm in just letting it run overnight , though it's been a while for me , IIRC there wasn't much benefit from running more than 50 passes. Mick.

The ML isn't the most intuitive portion of CA unfortunately and you can't make a template like for Plans and Layouts for reuse but you can tune the ML to only show Framing Items and then update line Items to the ML Master List ( and maintain there) and then bring the Line item back into the current ML.

John , don't take this the wrong way but you have been here long enough now to know that No Plan = No Answers ( or at best only guesses ) especially when it comes to PBR-RT, there are just too many variables including that you may have buried the rope light in the Crown Moulding as just 1 example. Your pic is too small to read the DBXs ...but that maybe just me ? It also a good idea to check the Cap Live Sample box so your Video Card doesn't run continuously at full speed. Mick

Just that it's a quick way now to change it's inherited Characteristics including the Layer, without changing anything, if for example you want to save only a few of them and then use Delete Objects > Automatic Dimensions to remove the rest. And you are right nobody ever said anything about Locate Settings..... Mick.

You jumped to a conclusion, I never said it had anything to do with the Layer, that was in the second part of the comment you conveniently chopped off your quote. This is NOT the behavior I am seeing, as Jason stated above, they both now reside on the specified Default Layer and remain there eg the new Plan Dimensions Default. Looking at the current ALDO there isn't even a Dimensions, Automatic Layer, anymore and unless you move a Dim. deliberately to the Dimensions, Manual Layer, it seems to go unused as well. At least that is what I see happening in a Clean X13 Test Plan (from the Residential Template) I was testing today, and may well be a good thing for SPV's especially and perhaps why it was done. I am now thinking with the new Dimensioning Defaults in X13, l and my Clients Templates will need to be rebuilt off the latest x13 Residential Template , as it seems Plans brought forward have various issues as demonstrated last week in the Cabinet Elevation Issue thread. There is a new System Layer Called Dimensions, Overall which maybe what Kyle is now wanting but I have not tested enough to confirm that Usage.

It seems , like before the Auto Tools create Auto Dimensions , but there is no longer a dedicated Automatic Dimension Layer, each Dimension Default's layer is now considered Auto if the Auto tool is used but in the DBX you can change a string to Manual if needed ( can group select as seen below ) , and you can still move a Dimension(s) to the Dimension -Manual layer if you want to.......but I need to Play/Draw/Dig deeper into X13 to be honest.

there are a lot of changes with Dimensions in X13 and Plans brought forward are demonstrating Issues due to all the new Defaults it seems... I am beginning to think i will need to rebuilt not only my Templates but my Clients also.

Ahhhhh that would be it I think too , I didn't realise you were still in X12. *You can save line Items to the Master List and Update them there is needed. 2021 - What's New in X13.pdf x13-new-features.pdf M.

you've gone full screen..... it appears?

Pull the DBX wider .... note the width in 2nd pic..... Mick.

Chief has these tied to BuilderTrend Codes, but I think you can Double click them to edit them Yep that works....

The latest Microsoft Update ( KB5005003 ) for the PrintNightMare Hack is causing many people issues apparently, not sure if this could be related though. https://www.tenforums.com/windows-10-news/ M.

Oh I missed you had changed your Hotkey from default , but If you want to place multiple hangers I see no reason to hit space , you should be able to keep clicking for multiple placements. I can however reproduce the Issue once I hit space ( in my case for select ) the library item is not clickable again, unless you click another item 1st and comeback to your 1st choice.

Sounds like UHD 4K Color Off Color Off is actually 4k OFF and the TV went into PC mode which is normally FHD/1080p same as your monitors. M.

This is a known Issue even in X12 for some , there is an Article in the KB about this.... how useful I am not sure ......YMMV. PC https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03049/troubleshooting-chief-architect-software-closing-unexpectedly-on-windows.html macOS https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02940/troubleshooting-chief-architect-software-closing-unexpectedly-on-a-mac.html

Chief has a bad habit of automagically making a Garage a Monoslab even if the rest of the House is using Stemwalls, so you then need to fix it by turning of those settings Michael pointed out OFF and reconfigure it.

Try using the Spacebar instead ...puts you back in select mode.....

You should really post some screen shots for your questions as it sounds like to me you have used one of Chief Plumbing Supply lines LineStyles and now want to join the Dashes together after the fact cos you don't like it ? Or maybe you just want one Linestyle so they all look the same ? You can make you own LineStyles if you want too? and then apply them.

I think Rob is right you just need to reset the Floor to a Framed Floor Type in the Defaults.... They want to put a high-floor closet over the toe of the stairs ..... Yah got me , that is not a term I have ever heard......so can't really help. Mick.

The Gap should be 1/16th , not 1/8th , and I have never seen a good cabinet installer need to put "spacers" behind the End panels, that must look lovely every time the Client opens the Door or Drawer. Not muddying ...... just clarifying my earlier Posts and what was or wasn't different from the X12 Client Plan brought forward to a clean X13 Test plan ...along with another couple of surprising finds, that you'll just have to get over and forgive me for mentioning....
