This one maybe ?

Give the Drywall material, the same color as the paint, ( pattern Tab) or if not using the material list , you can also just make the drywall layer 1/2" thick "Paint" M.

I use Right Click duplicate in the PB and the configure it the way I want from there.... Import is nice for updating older Plans with the current SVPs you like to work in.... M.

Make a Copy of you Working Plan SVP and Layerset and turn them into a dedicated Foundation Saved Plan View (SPV) , it sounds like you are using the same Layerset for both now ( the Working Layerset ) , so when you go back to level one, it is off there too.

You can not have two people working on the same plan at the same Time.....Chief locks the File while in use , to prevent file corruption for just this reason. M.

It not to difficult to do you own cross section through a single board , figure out the Tilt on it and then multi-copy it up the wall every 6" MHD_6 in Exp. Lap Siding CAD Block.calibz M.

*not fast enough

Try searching Reflected Ceiling Plan or RCP here on the Forum, I remember it being discussed a few times, but Chief does not have a dedicated RCP Tool or View. M.

Thanks, that is how the Current Raytracing works -- it is all CPU based -- there is a new PBR-RT view coming in X13 which will use the Nvidia RTX Cards in the 2000 or 3000 Series though, in Windows. However the old views will remain for those with older hardware to use also. Check out the What's Coming 3D rendering Video if you haven't already. M.

needs further explanation and pics or a plan file

(auto) Contour Line number?

Do a Forum search on EZ Screen , pretty sure someone posted on doing those a few months ago ...Kyle perhaps... M.

Is your Template Plan from a Home Designer Title originally eg HD Pro? M.

could be as Chief writes to the .ini file for Toolbars and DBXs etc M

The time of the post in the top left Corner is a link to the Post , so I right click it and choose Copy link...then paste into a new Thread.

I run into this occasionally on my Windows machine too ...it usually happens when I open another Users Chief Plan , so Glenn maybe onto something there, I now always have my Toolbars Locked but things can still get wonky on occasion. M.

It doesn't work for CAD Blocks ... that is correct.... Unblock > reblock should work too I think. It is a continuing Issue for me as well , working with Others who don't have my 2560x1440 monitor size.

you may need to do it on each Floor..... and last weeks post about this.....

Send it into Tech support for a look..... M.

You really aren't giving anyone a chance of answering that question with no pics and no plan to look at ...so i'll say yes you're missing some setting M.

Finally got a chance to open the Plan and have a look , was working from memory yesterday, and Plan Check works on the 2nd floor but not the basement level ( no errors) once the include in Living Area Calculation box is checked in all rooms... Maybe worth sending in as even after I removed all interior doors in the basement , and the bathroom not having a Fan ( or window) yet should have triggered a Plan Check Error ( multiple really) , at least those conditions on others floors normally do.

I believe it uses Room Definition and the Condition Space Living Space setting in the Room's DBX since it is "Living Area" so if either of those conditions is compromised it may not work. I think @Dermot posted about this recently , so maybe he can elaborate more for you.... M.

It should , but you need to run it on each floor as David noted above I believe certainly is a weird quirk though.... M.

this KB article may help.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00772/building-a-cape-cod-or-a-story-and-a-half-roof.html M

IIRC you noted this action in your Roof Purlin Video about a year ago ? or at least in that Thread..... M.
