All ceiling height changing at once, not wanted

You can right Click the Post's Time and Date and choose Copy Link , and then paste the link in to a new or existing thread , you can then choose to post it as a Text Link or a Full Quoted HTML Box.(default) -
some thoughts.... some of them maybe Cross-sections lines? which are locked by Default so wouldn't be select-able , unlocking would fix that.... Or In Layout you can Use the Edit Layout Lines Tool , which should let you select Line work and delete as needed.

Training Videos: Mastering the Double Gable Roof & More
Kbird1 replied to DMDesigns's topic in Tips & Techniques
They Play in FireFox which doesn't allow FlashPlayer anymore either ( or is that Java?) . The Video's themselves are .mp4 files so any media player should play them, not sure How your Site or Camtasia Site if linked to them is using the .mp4 files though. -
thanks for the Heads up no- one was sure why it was missing in X10, and thought it had slipped through the cracks somehow . Mick.

Some items don't show when printing Elevations
Kbird1 replied to Davidahill5050's topic in General Q & A
Try a different PDF Printer , eg BullZip or try the Built in Chief PDF Printer and see if you get the same results , I find at time the Built in one gives different results. As a test try Printing Black and White , instead of Grayscale etc. M. -
Just noticed these issue on your Bay Window.... missed it as your plan opens on the second floor.... Your Garage door wall is not aligned with the Brick wall the Bay Window is in either...
-
I don't see any bricks in your Plan? (yes I do, other end ... ) but it is doable with some playing around ...close enough? PS , I agree not a good idea to have plumbing in exterior wall unless extra precautions are taken...

They still need a Roof and a Bottom as they need to be Insulated+waterproofed , at least in my experience the Top and bottom where just 3/4" MDF or Plywood. But perhaps you are referring to a different product? M.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind , I did play with the Corners and Side Handles Options but it didn't seem to make alot of difference , so will need to play some more it seems , you may have hit the nail on the head , so to speak , though I noticed a day or too ago that the CA Crosshairs don't align to the middle of the Cursor but to one side off it, which I though maybe part of the issue...ie my aim.

Duplicating, Dragging, Mirroring, Resizing
Kbird1 replied to DeborahL's topic in Symbols and Content
Probably a good idea to work throught he Tutorial Guide for all the basics as you have time, but there is also the KnowledgeBase ( KB) which has many tutorials and the Video Tutorial Section as well. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/126/edit-tools.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/#playlist-85 -
I like we now have Sticky Mode but for some reason I don't find it as easy to use as the old Tool , seems like I need to try multiple time to get it to fully cut about 1/2 the time it seems to be in break mode still not cut. M.

HI Toby, I guess the fix only works for Chrome is that right? or did you need to turn off HW Acc. in all browsers ? I think I may have read in the Past that this was an issue with the Intel video drivers but I have no way currently to look into that , it's possible Windows Update , updated the Drivers along with other Updates recently ( usually 2nd Tues of each month) if you don't have drivers Turned Off for Windows Update.

Okay ...with the line colour being White I had missed them , not sure why there are 3 there though.. all unconnected...

I tried deleting those Demo walls before I deleted the Stairs and it didn't help here , so that is weird..... tried it again and it didn't help , but deleting the stairs and curved walls again did.... where are you seeing invisible walls in the kitchen though? , they are turned on but I don't see any? I do see some demo walls and Std. Polylines....
-
I wish they hadn't changed it , the Old double click tool worked better it seemed , at least to me , now sure why?
-
usually when Chief slows down it is a bad symbol or something with alot of Curves ( and hence Polygon faces) so after looking at the cabinets and finding no issues, I looked at the Curved Stairs and somehow or another, you have stacked two curved stairs on top of each other...I deleted both sets and got most of the speed back..... so I deleted the curved walls too and it seems almost normal now.... have a play in a copy of your plan.... *** Appears to be an issue with curved Walls and curved stairs , probably worth sending the Plan to Tech Support and see what they find as deleting them all seems to fix it...
-
Same issues as you here , if I figure it out I'll post back.... M.

Ok found it finally..........scroll down the and read the thread , there is also a Video by Chopsaw...

Couldn't find the plan I know we played with here last year for a second floor balcony with a slighty different method, but here is a quick plan with my Fascia Mount Railing Wall in it to play with....( can be saved to your Library) The trick is after drawing the Deck you need to lower each railing by dragging the bottom of the railing wall to the bottom of the joists. 1st turn off Railing , pull wall down , turn railing and Generate on low platform back on and you should be good to go. easiest to do in an elevation camera as you need to be very accurate to get the top of the railings to align. I left a couple of walls up in the Plan so you can try it. Deck Fascia Mounted Railings_MHD.plan

Try search Fascia Mounted Railings , it isn't that difficult once you know how , I believe I have posted plans in the past showing how to do it over the last 3-4 years... I'll see if I have a Test plan from Last year still...

You have to do the RC thing once the video is playing , not on the Link Graphic the Video Website shows... this is you laptop right? (didn't you buy a MSI at Bestbuy?) have you tried setting the Video Card Preferred in NVCP to the Nvidia Card? Did you uninstall the Graphic Drivers (Both try intel 1st) and reinstall? Did you do some googling on green screen and video playing? M

Whole rooms and content missing from Wall Elevation cameras
Kbird1 replied to PorkRibs's topic in General Q & A
Glad to help , interesting little problem , which you should Log as a Bug with Tech Support still, otherwise it won't get fixed. Here is the Plan I played with too..... SW Villa West 25a_MHD Fixed.zip -
Whole rooms and content missing from Wall Elevation cameras
Kbird1 replied to PorkRibs's topic in General Q & A
Like Graham I was intrigued by why it didn't work , and wasn't the sure the OP knew about CAD Masks etc , though I did note he had a Section Camera already in Plan. If you aren't familiar with making a CAD Mask Paul (OP) this should help....in red....or the plan two posts below... -
Whole rooms and content missing from Wall Elevation cameras
Kbird1 replied to PorkRibs's topic in General Q & A
Are you talking about in this plan or your test plan? as I don't see anything "floating" , I also redrew ALL the walls of theIsland room and put in 100" high , no casing , Doorways into that area too though, maybe that is the difference? ***I also deleted the angled Room divider inside the Island Room area OSB flooring in a Vet Clinic has me wondering though M. -
Whole rooms and content missing from Wall Elevation cameras
Kbird1 replied to PorkRibs's topic in General Q & A
The Island Room does seem to be the Issue...... I turned off the Island room connections (Alt-Q) and then pulled the Imaging Rm Hall wall over to the thickened Surgery Rm wall (blocking E30 Hallway) and put in a Doorway instead and the Wall Shows in the Wall Elevation Camera Again. So I redrew the walls around the Island room and used Doorways instead of openings and that Room and the Halls , now show as separate Rooms too.
