Have you tried a different PDF Printer rather than Chief's built in one, to see if its a Chief problem or something else? Over the years there have been a few issues as Chief uses a 3rd party PDF API or used to and sometimes with new releases The API had to be updated. M.

Not personally but this sounds like one for Tech Support Mon. Morning M.

Chief has always liked things drawn in a clockwise fashion, though they say that is no longer really necessary, but is generally still my SOP. M.

Hmmm sounds like it does have something to do with Wall direction then after all......... sometimes in the past I cold get it and sometimes not, and had given up and was just place the full posts manually as it was less frustrating M.

It would be a Kludge I think? as Chief does not allow two Walls to occupy the Same Space typically nor would walls interaction work properly when turn one Wall off by using a Layer for example. Be happy to be proven wrong though I just did a Project with a bunch of small changes theOwner want to see , which meant 5 different Option Plans M.

As MarkMC nicely to make you a Custom Symbol........... @MarkMc

For you no then but for the OP yes............. .........So, I am rocking a RX550 instead of the 1660 now

Okay, sometime I was able to get it that way after messing with the End Post configuration but in the end just found it easier to place the full height ones myself (less frustration) M.

It's not related to the direction the railings are drawn in is it ? ie where the Start/End of the wall is.... you may need to enable that if not already done.... ( it does sow i the wall DBX though too )

I'd think that should generate on it's own assuming a Brick ledge is specified, it more to fix the Issue that Chief has always had of stopping the siding at the bottom of walls, at the floor platform eg on a slab at 0" absolute or where the siding stops at the top of the foundation wall, when in reality it extends down 1 1/2" - 2" in the real world to weather/air proof that joint. M.

Yes that works , you don't need to close the DBX As far as I remember though. M.

Chris is right about it effect new ones only changed there, unless you go to each room and turn the label OFF, and the back ON and it should regenerate. My suggestion though is NOT to use a Custom Text Style but to Use the Layer , and assign a Text style to the Room Label so they will ALL change with a change in Text Style, I have 3 or 4 different Room Label Styles for example................ You should put X13 in your Forum Signature so People know as Answer often are Version dependant..... M.

Do you want to change all Fonts in a Plan? or just the Room Label? If you are using X15 ? ( no Forum Signature ) you can now use the new Font Replace Tool........... M.

You know they never let us know before hand , but my guess is they are working hard on it, as personally I have never had so many cases at Tech support for "Glitches", but I guess I'm finally getting my SSA Money's worth M.

Mine also , but being able to set that in the Dialog would be great.... M.

Yes , using an Airgap Material has been a method for quite some time and work well, Chief has a Video on doing it too.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/311/creating-a-suspended-or-dropped-ceiling.html PDF: CA_Help_Special Ceilings.pdf Mick.

Without the Plan we can't really diagnose problems like this, but it looks loke you've found a "workaround" M.

about 2:30 in............. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5540/what-s-new-in-x15-building-features.html?playlist=173 M.

Yep , been there , done that too in the new structure dialog

If it's imported into Chief?, you can use the Surface delete tool in a 3D Camera to remove the Drain ( piece by piece ) and then re-save it as a new Symbol. It is the "S" Icon with the red cross through it.............. your selection color won't be pink below, most likely

Well it is Prime Day M.

I didn't notice you were using X12 actually but what you are showing is a Dimension Default DBX , not the EDIT ACTIVE VIEW DBX ---- Icon is a pencil over a Page/camera Icon If you weren't aware Chief is now Subscription only ( since Jan. 9th ) , and it may depend on your SSA assuming you still have it ? if not Subscription is now the only available upgrade Model. Mick.

Not that I am aware of .............. normally as Joe mentions this is normally done in the Cabinet Schedule, which is best Created in a separate CAD Detail ( per schedule , ie cabinets, windows, doors, electrical etc etc ) NOT in the Plan view as some Schedules can really slow Chief Down in Plan View eg the Framing Schedule. If you do this in your Template Plan, you will only ever need to do it once, not every in every new plan...... and they wil auto populate in the background as you Draw. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00463/creating-and-using-a-plan-template.html *** Also being new here it is a good Idea to do your Forum Signature , so people know what version you are using etc , see mine below.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 Mick

You can still open the Camera View and "Clip to Room" , this is my preferred method vs Wall elevation Cameras actually.......... Result

I am not a Mac User but I have not heard of any Issues with X12 on Mac OS that would cause this Issue are you sure you followed the Instructions properly for Exporting the Library on the Window Computer and then Importing it on the Mac? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00001/backing-up-chief-architect-content.html#User and https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00091/restoring-chief-architect-content.html#restoreuser Mick.
