  1. Nice find Graham .....I did not think about the Auto Island Room connection ( even when I couldn't delete it ...doh! ) , when I changed the Wall Type to see if we had a weird Wall definition , I also dragged the wall around/over the existing Hall Wall as well and I am guessing that broke the auto connection now, as I used one continuous wall from left to right as seen in the pic. above....( no break at LH Hallway where E30/49 Cams are)
  2. Took a while to find you are working with Invisible walls turned Off ( not a good idea really) and there was one 4ft to the left of Camera 46 messing things up, and as I couldn't figure why it was there I deleted it and the Wall in Cam 46 came back.... if you don't want to see the glass doors backclip the view at 72" approx like below. BTW.....the invisible wall did not want to delete for some reason *** , so I switched the Hall Walls including behind the cabinets to frame 3 1/2 type , then it deleted , so I switched the walls back to Int.4. Not 100% sure why that worked , it was just a hunch. as a side note the computer symbol has a weird anomaly sticking out the side off it's CAD Block, opening the symbol and regenerating the CAD Block fixes it. *** see below I now think it was the Auto Island Room Connection***
  3. They are .MP4 files , so try right clicking the video and save it to your Desktop and try a media Player instead of a Browser , it sound like some video codec has been messed up , but not sure if it only effects browsers or not. Firefox64 is working fine here BTW.
  4. Had a look at your Plan again tonight Steve and it look like there was a bad Wall corner connection at the top Right of the main building , so I fixed that and extended the Porch area Ceiling purlins out a bit ( there seemed to be a Gap in ceiling) and deleted the ceiling structure and added the 1 1/2" layer to the Ceiling Finish as CS recommended and all now seems to work as it should for that ceiling. I think the Conc. curb was just some conc. Ground beams that had lost there reference height so I set them back to -4" so they were under the slab. Played with your Roof and Wall standing Seam Material too as it wasn't displaying correctly as Standing seam too. Hopefully this look a bit better now..... Steve's Pole Barn_MHD Ceiling.plan
  5. There is context sensitive Help by using the F1 Key , and the help menu also has links to the Reference Manual and Tutorial Guide which I recommend you work through. There is also the KnowledgeBase (KB) or FAQ section of the Website here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/126/edit-tools.html and videos here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/#playlist-83
  6. No experience with the SB2 but this thread discusses some of the current models others are considering......
  7. Just make a public folder on one of your Cloud Accounts , copy the File there and post the link to the file , someone posted a 149mb file yest. with no issues this way.... M.
  8. Zipping the File is the usual way ( remove images and pdf and anything we don't nees etg landscaping /exteriors......but even that is not always enough , in which case People use Dropbox or GoogleDrive usually, OneDrive would work too. did you try uploading the 49mb file? I know there have been complaints in the past , but not sure if they upped it to 50mb or not? (used to be 10mb)
  9. Be best to attach the Plan file for weirdness like this , let another pair of eyes have a look around for you.... Has to be less than 25mb and closed when you attach it as Chief locks the File when it is Open. M.
  10. I see a ceiling Steve , but ithe Surface isn't defined properly , you have two layers of brown standing seam as the material Should i be seeing something different ? not sure what the concrete curb in the door is doing there?
  11. Hi Paul , please use the Windows Snipping tool in Accessories and post images direct to the thread , not PDF's that people need to Download. You can also export jpgs from any camera view and post them..... Wall Elevations Cameras will ignore some walls (railings) if that checkbox is ON in the Camera's DBX
  12. 25mb if Forum max., zipping it will help too, depending on what you have in the Plan. PDFs and any images could be removed though ( use a SaveAs copy and make sure it is closed in Chief when you attach it.)
  13. It's your lucky day , someone asked this yesterday and I was just posting it here : Bonus_RecRoom_Games.calibz *** thanks CS you beat me again
  14. Ok found it....it was available in X9 too and the File was called BonusGames.calibz, I have renamed it slightly so it is easier to find..... Mick. Bonus_RecRoom_Games.calibz Edit for @Chief_Content They're in a bonus catalog called Rec Room and Games that no longer seems to be available on Chief's site. Not sure why. ?
  15. Thanks for the Info , I'll see if I have it...
  16. Thanks Michael , do you know what version the Bonus Library is from ? I may have it backed up..... Or if someone has it perhaps they can export it and Post it...
  17. Usually a good idea to post the Plan File if you want answers to weirdness like this M.
  18. Offering Services Forum is really the correct Forum for this Post since you are Offering to Sell, the Sales Forum is really for Pre-Sales Question for the CA Sales Team
  19. I think you mean Blender...it depends on the File Type and whether Pro can import it or not , see the File>Import Menu for what Pro can do.... If Pro can't Sketchup maybe able too, you can then export to .skp which most HD and Chief Products can import , just be sure to export to the correct Version year so you can import it.
  20. There is a Holiday Library available for HD and Chief products , not sure if there is a Xmas tree , but worth a try to see.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/892 And since you are Using a home designer Title , you may have better luck on the Hometalk Forum which is dedicated to HD Titles like Pro 2017.... https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/
  21. Always best to add the Plan File to the Post Steve , especially when doing stuff , not quite the "norm" in CA. M.
  22. Then you can ask questions in the Beta Forum too.... The version being used is why we like people to add it to their Forum Signature......sometimes it matters as things change every version
  23. Someone was asking in the Sales Forum Sasha you might want to message them.....
  24. New post in the Offering Forum _Sasha T's post.....
  25. Thanks Bob it must be in a Library I don't have eg a grouped Room or something , I don't have it or any Rec Room Folder , I thought perhaps it had migrated forward from an old version, but couldn't tell from Eric's Pic what the exact name or type was.... M
