It appears to be a Wall Definition Issue with you New Walls and which Layer you have defined the Platform to Build too. Also remember to keep your Siding 8" off the Terrain by setting the Pony wall off floor HGT higher. would need to play more tomorrow if you still need help. Mick.

Without looking at your plan..... have you by chance set the Foundation to "Hang 1st Floor Platform Inside Foundation Walls"

If you Visit the Library you see the Pricing crossed out if you have SSA ( and are signed in ) If no SSA I imagine it work pretty much like it does for Home Designer Users , ( are you a HD User? or a Chief User?) however AFAIK the Libraries are only available/installable for the Version you have ie a X13 lib. not available in X11 won't work in X11. (*many current X13 Libraries are still from X12 I found out a few weeks ago but are slowly being updated.) As Eric said perhaps post in the Sales Forum and they will get back to you on Mon.

Not without the .plan file or at a minimum some screengrabs (pics....) but delete it and replacing it or copy another may work? .

Nice OOB thinking Mark.... M.

There was a mention on the Forum here by someone at Chief that AMD released a Driver to fix some Desktop GPU Issues with X13 but they were not aware as yet if AMD had updated the Laptop Drivers as well. M.

the XPS13 is known to overheat.....( and shut down) but it may depend on your particular version..... Google XPS Overheating

Do you have the Options Software Installed? ( It doesn't using the Gaming Software ) Mick.

Your V7 Manual is here if you don't have it ? : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/documentation.html?version=17

don't have the Manual? from the V7 Manual PDF......

Been a while since I used X7 but in X12 it is here..... and try F1 for help or the PDF Manual perhaps....sorry it is too big to attach it.

Wow....a bit of a Blast from the Past there.... good to know it still will work if needed , to be honest I have not had to try it in X13, so I am not 100% sure if there are better methods these days or not? Mick.

It maybe relate to Grid Rounding ( preferences ) there have been several Threads in the past about it, and IIRC Chopsaw had a few ideas/theories on it ... Mick.

Wall Framing not on Auto? ie you changed something and without Auto Frame On it is still showing the Old Framing.... M.

Maybe I should have qualified that part ?, I don't use the 3D at all since I have Chief and 3D was not why I got TurboCAD Deluxe if you only need 2D they perhaps give the $70 2D version a try https://www.turbocad.com/turbocad-windows-2021/turbocad-designer.html M.

Set it's height reference to Absolute instead of Terrain and you can bury part of it in the ground .... if needed behind the Retaining wall. Mick.

If you know CAD already , then it is no different , although the way they do things may not be exactly the same as ACAD, there is a training bundle available to get you upto speed but I'd say download the Trial Version and see if you like it 1st. They have Cheaper Versions even for 2D only , I think it is called Designer no Deluxe. Mick.

I pickup up TurboCad Deluxe last yr instead of Draftsight as I prefer not to be on a subscription, they just released the 2021 update about a month ago and it has some nice improvements. ( Deluxe has 3D , some of the Cheaper Products are 2D only ) https://www.turbocad.com/turbocad-windows-2021/turbocad-deluxe-permanent.html Check the bundles pricing too , eg if you want TurboPDF as well. they also have a 50% off Sale on till Wed. (28th July) on their Companion Products eg TuboPDF4 ( Foxit Clone) and PDF2CAD http://r.news.imsidesign.com/mk/mr/tGRwNgeUjX0MNbD7eNiGLFwTtd81y9rhK3OtZL5jHZqOW5unmWrxm-EuuGJHSCRhsgjZFh6JDLxERGNQqemlahKxAZh7P0V6i5So2MerJ0714qcGHQ ***Disclaimer : I am in NO WAY associated with with TurboCAD or IMSI Design Products. Mick.

That would be how I would do it normally..... M

Pro only allows 1 page in a Layout , so you will need to have Multi Plan Copies to generate all the necessary pages.... unless that limit was removed in more recent Versions? M.

You're asking for a Symbol , not an Icon......and they are in the Chief Library already.....

Gene got that ok....... but This does not always work 100% of the time in my experience , just uncheck it and redo the Offsets for the texture....

July 2021. Windows 10 also has it own settings now and Chief has now made a KB article about how to set that up too. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03140/forcing-chief-architect-programs-to-use-a-specific-graphics-card-in-windows-10.html

The KnowledgeBase (KB) is always a good place to start , for short Tutorials on any Issue or questions you may have, even if the exact situation is not there, it may point you in the right Direction to get started..... I think this is what you are attempting in an Existing Building......... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03012/creating-a-storage-loft-in-a-larger-room.html M.
