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.

It was mentioned in the Xmas Newsletter that it won't release till early in the New Year for X13. You can subscribe here if you aren't already.............. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/company/newsletters/ M.

It's not a Windows Issue perse, it is the Nahimic Sonic Radar App that Windows Update/ Windows Store automatically updates when Windows updates the Nahimic Drivers. You can stop Windows Update from Updating Drivers quite easily if you'd like too ? , this also stops the App updating usually as the app needs to be compatible with the Driver.... I use the .reg file from 10 Forums ( get the enable and disable files) but there are other ways to do it too.... https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-enable-disable-driver-updates-windows-update-windows-10-a.html More on Nahimic https://www.nahimic.com/gamers/

In X12 you can now just turn the Newels off on the Rail Style Tab ( checkbox ) and place your own post from the Framing Menu. (set Default 1st if needed?) don't want the rail either ? make whole rail Invisible or uncheck the options in pic # 2 M.

sounds like you have switched your reference layer on by accident ....F9 or 11th icon on the RH Toolbar to toggle it on or off

Firefox 84.0.1 and Windows 202H are working fine ..... M.

I do it more or less like Mark but Use a z_ in front of the Client's Folder Name like you , so it is at the bottom of the Tree and easy to drag Items I just saved to the Library into the Clients folder. M.

What software do you have? sounds like you have not set level one's floor structure to concrete ( slab) or set the foundation level to a Monolithic Slab ? And the F1 Key is your best friend while in Chief...... M. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?do=findComment&comment=155662

probably best to ask in the Mobile Forum Joe , but as far as I know Chief no longer supports the Room Planner App. ( not sure you can even download it now? ) https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/46-mobile-q-a/ M.

More likely an Audio Driver Update from Dell, which triggered the Windows Store to update the Sonic Studio and Sonic Radar Windows Apps. On my laptop if I uninstall Sonic Radar ONLY Chief works fine but others with Dells have all been advised to remove both ... not sure why, and can't test as I don't have a Dell and their Command Center. M.

Not just Laptops as in David's Alienware Desktop case....strange that it just started out of the blue though...

There are many Tutorials on subjects like this in the KnowledgeBase (KB) , the KB is well worth checking 1st for article like this one.......... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00007/importing-and-applying-a-custom-picture-to-a-frame-computer-or-tv-screen.html M.

Have a look here I re-wrote and old post and put it in the Tips Sections ..........

How to change NVIDIA Optimus graphics settings 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 Dec. 2020 : Window's 10 also now has a some built in control of what graphics processor is used but this is my preferred method.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It maybe worth updating your Intel Drivers ( download the Intel Driver and Support Assistant ) as well but in general this is an issue of the Nvidia (NV) Discrete Graphics Card not being used by Chief in your Laptop , and some Desktops. Many laptops ( and some Desktops ) come with both an Intel UHD Graphics Card and a Discrete Videocard Card eg a Nvidia Geforce GTX or RTX (or AMD Radeon), which is the Card, Chief should be using especially in 3D Windows. The Issue lies in that Chief is not "seen" as a 3D Game by Nvidia's Driver,(NV), so the switch may not always happen automatically, so we need to ADD Chief to the Nvidia Control Panel 3D Manage Page , and set the Nvidia card to be always used when Chief is Open ie: make it the "Preferred Graphics Processor" , this will likely need resetting EACH time the Driver is updated..... Desktop NV CP 1 Desktop NV CP 2 ( Chief already added to list ) How to add Chief to the "List" General Laptop "everything uses" NV Card Setting Laptop Chief NV CP Settings ( I recommend this only if plugged in to AC ) This mode will use a lot of your battery quickly Once set don't forget to set the Options ie No# 7 and 8 above in Desktop pic 2 too.

This is a longtime Issue in Chief if boxed (flat) eaves are specified, Chief only extends the Sheathing to the top plate when there is a sloped eave. Generally you just fix in in the Cross Section with a few cad lines or with a CAD Box .....same for the Soffit backer ( 2x4) on the wall or needed blocking. KB

It appears you have Built the Roof with Ignore 2nd Floor Checked ...is that how it will really be built ? ie the Roof Rafters off the 1st Floor Wall Plates? ...One method......Don't ignore the 2nd floor, instead set the ceiling to 1 1/2" high ( thickness of a 2x plate) temporarily , and switch it back to Full height after your don't need auto build roof any longer. Lots of good info in the KB ( KnowledgeBase) if you are just starting out ..........like this Article....see method no#2 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00772/building-a-cape-cod-or-a-story-and-a-half-roof.html KB.

Might be easier to delete from Library and re-import using the advanced option if possible.... M.

You are probably right ...never owned a MAC..... I maybe thinking of the MAC ALT Key issue ( use Option) , some Clients have had..... M.

This can happen if you install it from the open dialog in the Browser when you download it ( and Chief isn't already open) or you drag and drop a .calibz into Chief , but I have found that the Library>Import option always works properly for me. these are Robert's textures though if a re-import doesn't work...... placing them in the Chief Data > Textures Folder should work , it's the 1st place Chief looks after the current plan folder I believe for missing textures. Racklore_NickelGap.zip M. This is the 8" Nickle Gap I use mentioned above.......... MHD_Nickle Gap 8in.calibz

Might be Option not Command on some MACs..... ( keyboard differences???) M.

Ctrl on windows ....works for me...... M.

This is how Chief Works ....for windows it is the Jamb/Frame size that is used, for Doors it is the Door size and the Frame is outside that. You would need to set your default RO to 5/8 each side ( Window Defaults>Framing) for it to show a 24" wide window at 25 1/4" RO M.

Chief's Trey Ceiling does not play well with invisible walls , so you are best to use other methods for that , eg a Polyline Solid and A P.Solid Hole for the trey. Ceiling_Creating-a-trey-or-coffered-ceiling-using-polyline-solids.pdf M.
