  1. Wall Framing not on Auto? ie you changed something and without Auto Frame On it is still showing the Old Framing.... M.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. That would be how I would do it normally..... M
  7. 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.
  8. You're asking for a Symbol , not an Icon......and they are in the Chief Library already.....
  9. 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....
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. I thought Chief had some options in the Library now for lit Mirrors.... M.
  13. Is it a resized symbol perhaps? M.
  14. Two thoughts......... Chief will let you Copy a door in place and you can swing the 2nd door the opposite way or you can place a door from the library and slide it in with the CTRL Key
  15. Did you zip it ? The plan must be closed in Chief while you do this If still too big draw a small square house and try it in one Corner as a test --- still same issue? post that plan... Nothing personal but you are new to the Forum , and I personally won't download files off an unknown website.... M.
  16. Best to post the Plan file , there are too may variable to "guess" and do what Ryan said......post is "normal" M.
  17. The GT720 is a card that is known to have this issue a couple of people have picked up an AMD Card to suffice till they get a new computer AMD RX 560D-4G D5 from Yeston. 4GB GDDR5
  18. Some Thoughts........ Are you using the Default Chief Theme (colors?) Latest Drivers installed for the 5700XT? macOS over-riding color scheme in Chief? Mick
  19. worth a try as it is almost a year out of Date and updating the Video Driver if from the same time period too..... Nvidia or AMD I see no sig , so not sure what the hardware is ....... Mick.
  20. A friend pointed out this one from ABS too , with slightly better components , it has the same Motherboard as I have actually, though I I don't personally know ABS nor have I ever used them so YMMV , ...they are a Newegg Subsidary apparently. https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ali535/p/N82E16883360140?Item=N82E16883360140
  21. @Chiefer Jintu does Rendering : http://www.jintudesigns.com/residential-renderings.html @ericepv as does Eric https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/26082-quality-3d-rendering-floor-plans-and-models-from-us-based-company/?tab=comments#comment-247069
  22. you're welcome..... this might help too...... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00032/creating-an-energy-heel-truss.html
  23. Chief places a Newel ( column) where-ever the Railing is broken in some cases you can set the AutoStart End setting to none for the end, but is also looks like you played with the Doorway at the top of the stair that Chief uses to make an opening in the railing as nothing lines up..... or you might need to play with it to fix it ? making the short piece Post to Rail may work too depending on the look needed , beam may need doing manually though... M.
  24. This can happen if the Roof Planes are not sitting on the top plate properly ie you raised roof Planes manually to get the right heel height, but Chief will frame the "space" Automatically to support the Roof and fill in the wall M.
