Check your HOTKEYS LIST for macOS .........NOTE ALL answers refer to Chief Premier X13 , not the Home-Designer Line... so please do your Sig.

And the End Users eg another is why does the Content Team not add common Search Attributes to Objects so the library search works better... ( good job for the Summer Intern ) M.

I have similar issues and placing lights , instead of relying on the Automatic light helps.... you can test this is a test house with no windows or doors.... M.

As an Aside Dermot typing Cursor into the new Help system get you no result , neither does "persistent Pointer Icons" , though I am not sure why it is not called a Cursor , as you yourself pointed out rather than a Pointer? Even a search for Pointer Icons doesn't take you straight to it.....but it's there under Input Devices

Thanks I'd appreciate it , nice looking Project BTW. Mick

Those are indeed Roof planes , look at the Training Videos for Roofs........ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/25/drawing-roofs-manually.html?playlist=95 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/playlists/95/roofs.html

ALT-Z is the default hotkey for a default Cursor

you can set your Resize About Default temporarily to Inner Surface and also set Temp. dims to uses Surfaces. there is a Series on Videos for doing Remodels that may help too........... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/playlists/120/remodeling.html

Try copy reflect the good Framing instead.... looks like on the right they aren't sensing the Roof Space and are dropping down flat though.

I agree , it is just not the same anymore , it was much Cleaner/Crisper in X12 and good enough for most of my Clients, I feel the same about the STD PBR cameras too actually, and am starting to thinking buying a 3080 was a mistake as the Hype of RTRT has just not been delivered yet..... ( 1 version too early for public release? ) M.

NOoooo ! ..... Make dedicated Cameras just for Client Views ( I also use them for some 3D pics in Layout ) and DON'T Move them...ever, copy them as Mark mentioned for a close as you'll get starting point ..... M.

All sounds about normal to me ..... check Preferences > Render Tab for GPU info Looks like you need to update your Signature too.....3080 vs 2080

May I suggest you put these Update notices in the Symbols Forum too from now on A Monthly Updated/New Library Post would be really helpful for all too. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/31252-list-of-x13-currently-available-libraries-july-1st-2021/?tab=comments#comment-248415 Thanks, M.

sounds like you still sent them with the Color fill box checked even though Color was Off in the view..... Michael's fix should correct it. M.

Thanks for sharing Allan. M.

Yes that's why I asked , I sometimes have to Print the PDFs to PDF again in the correct orientation especially if they are scanned PDFs. Mick.

Just checked a Layout I did last month I knew I had some PDFs in from the Eng. and no rotation issues here. *None have Saved in Plan Checked like I do with Images Mick

Ohhh duh...... sorry ,I was trying to tell what it was you were importing from the Pic above. PDF's tend to slow Chief down, so I bring a lot of that stuff in as Images instead and click "Save in Plan" so perhaps, that is why I don't see this happening here , but it does sound like one for Tech. Support, it is the 1st report I have seen of this here, but that doesn't mean it is not happening to others who work similar to you. M.

Maybe I am missing something ? ( *confused ) You are importing your own Plan PDF's to layout? Still that shouldn't happen , but maybe unique to you depending on the "process" you are using... Mick.

There are a bunch of new Cabinet Elevation Dimension settings such as Openings in X13 , have a look at this Video..... The 1/16th thing sounds like some are snapping to the Cabinet Box and some to the Door or Drawer ( reveal is 1/16th by default ) and I have seen this happen myself , but that happened in X12 as well. Dimensioning Cabinet Face Items and Openings (chiefarchitect.com) Mick

Is the Original printed in Portrait Mode? I normally import into a CAD Detail and then send to Layout though.... M.

Post a small Test Plan so others can have a "play" and see if they can give you some advice, and screen-grabs ( pics) help too , to explain the issues, but I think manually is the only way *BTW I believe you mean RIGID Insulation not Ridged Insulation at least I am not familiar with ridged insulation.

this is NOT how to build a 2nd Floor ( or 3rd, etc or foundation / Basement) in Chief..... which maybe why you have the issues you do..... ( have an AutoCad background perhaps?) Have a look at Build Floor > New Floor Menu and this Video https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/72/additional-floors-foundation-basics.html?playlist=138 and perhaps download the Tutorial PDF from the Help Menu and work you way through it.... also available here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/getting-started/?product=premier&version=23 *** there is a free CA Boot Camp this Friday you could attend too.....just sign up on this page https://www.chiefarchitect.com/events/

I suggest you made a CAD Detail for Each Schedule in your Template Plan, then you will never have to do it again..... I am not sure why this is not setup by Default in the Chief Template Plans supplied already the Wall Legend is about the only one I use "In- Plan" Mick.

do you have Color enabled in Layout? .......as your pics tell me No..... ie hit F8
