  1. Yes , don't use the Paint Can Tool on Exterior Walls instead make two different Wall Definitions and apply them as appropriate. M.
  2. It appears the old trick of making uneven countertop overhangs to go over a Built-in Fridge or Dishwasher no longer works either....
  3. I need to play more , but I am not sure this is working as expected currently as shown yest. the 2'9" dim. still snapped to the opening even though it is not visible, or one of the default dimension "points to find". * Not sure if this could be related to a brought Forward Plan (X12) M.
  4. I would say yes and it is the Reach (default 24") that makes a Manual Dimension so "messy" as shown in my earlier pic - even though pulled on the base cabinets it is still picking up the Uppers as well , try 4" and see the difference..... some more tips here...... Specific to X13 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1595/dimensioning-cabinet-face-items-and-openings.html?playlist=92
  5. I had a quick look and I think you would benefit from some Cabinet Specific Dimension defaults, including shorter Reach ( 4") * I still think there are problems though.
  6. The 2'10" dim is snapped to the Corner/Side of the Cabinet, the 2'9" dim is snapped to the Panel on the left, but X13 is setting Panels 1/16th off the cabinet box it appears hence the two lines... ( and the gap between ) M.
  7. weird cos that ain't the trees I am seeing , though it's in my Library , there is 2 each of...... see pic above C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\CorePlantFiles.zip#zip:Adult -- Picea pungens(h1444).png C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\BonusPlantsTrees.zip#zip:Adult -- Calocedrus decurrens(h1673).png C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\CorePlantFiles.zip#zip:Abies balsamea 1.png
  8. Possibly the textures were corrupted during the Migration process from X10>X12 ? Hmmm Glen just posted ....funny how MACs have Issues and PC don't ........ I do have all libraries installed though I think.... Mick
  9. Its a Client's plan ( Co. Template) , I used to show the issue, so I can't do that..... Mick.
  10. I don't think it is "you" , The rest of the guys just wanted help by checking / looking at your defaults I believe to see if it was a setting issue ( a test plan with a couple of cabinets would do), that being said I am seeing Dimensions snapping to things in X13 I can't see even eg the opening even though it is not displayed or set in defaults as one of the options ( one of the new options along with Doors) Eg here on the Right it has snapped to the opening ( 2'9" dim) ....on the left it has snapped to the Panel and the Panel is showing 1/16th OFF the Box. * this is an X12 Plan brought into X13 ( if it matters? )
  11. I had Issues when I got my new Computer with the Beta , but am not sure if the Public Release or me copying my X12 Toolbars folder into X13 fixed it as I have not had an issue for a while, but I have mostly been in X12 finishing Projects there of late , so it may just take some time ? I did not have Issues in X12 with this though.... I had this Issue 1se with the offset dropdowns , then I had the fully corrupted Toolbars like you after that. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/30482-menu-bug-issue-a-different-one/?tab=comments#comment-241177
  12. this plan works fine in X12 and X13 here.... when was the last time you updated your Videocard Drivers?
  13. I'll take your word for it , I may have been thinking of Notes and the ability to add an Arrow Request, however I do use arrows with RCs but have to do it manually so a connected arrow ( same layer as RC) would be a Nice Option. M.
  14. You can also , with both versions Closed , goto your X13 Data Folder>Toolbars Folder and Rename it Toolbars.old ( saves folder for backup , instead of deleting it) and then copy the Toolbars folder from the X12 Data Folder into the X13 Data Folder and restart X13. Mick.
  15. Fill Window will show you everything in the Plan , it may not be within your current Sheet though.....
  16. I agree we all need it..... * missed the plan above.....
  17. Probably an issue with your Panel Symbol ?, can't you use an Open Railing and the Middle Rail instead of a Panel for that? *post the test Plan for people to have a "play for you" Is this Railing Code Compliant where you are? or is deck less than 24" off the ground? M.
  18. Yes, seems a bit silly to me as I am not sure what is so "special" about RCs, that doesn't allow attaching like a text box. I have seen requests for the option to add an arrow to a RC but so far it hasn't happened. M.
  19. Open the Arrow DBX for those settings but I have found arrows don't like Revision Clouds much in the past so YMMV.
  20. In elevation you have to convert the RAILING to a Wall, (uncheck railing) pull the bottom down 8" and then turn Railing back on
  21. Did you try adding Layers to your Floor Finish? And don't forget to do you Forum Signature please..... answers can depend on the Version in use....
  22. I think he meant his P-Solid Stair turned into a symbol. M.
  23. Since you havn't done your Sig yet ( a good idea ) I'll assume X13 in use....
  24. Walls usually snap nicely to CAD lines , change the Resize about option temporarily to inner or outer Surface and the follow the CAD line you've drawn. Mick.
  25. You will need to provide more info and perhaps the Plan as I don't have this issue..... at least not in this quick test plan Mick.
