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.

Your plans/uploads here don't include your "material sketch" so I can't try it myself but did you try flipping the "image" ( reflect vertically) in any Image editing Program? ( eg Paint ) and save it with a different name and then reloading it into the "Material" on the Texture Tab? M.

Thanks Gene , typically I don't "fur" walls anymore and simply change the Walltype to a Furred basement Walltype if needed as furred walls have issues of their own ( or can ) so it would of fooled me too possibly and likely others too, possibly without realizing it, which could be an issue. M.

It is probably related to an older Video card that does not full support Shader Model 6.5 in particular the necessary Extended formats TypedUAVLoad. Note: Some graphics cards, such as the NVIDIA 700 series, may support shader model 6, but may be lacking a critical feature called "Extended formats TypedUAVLoad". If a graphics card does not support this feature, the word "No" will be mentioned beside this feature in the image above, and the card will not function with newer versions of Chief Architect software. More here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03146/identifying-the-shader-model-of-your-graphics-card-in-windows.html M.

I think Eric maybe correct, you could try lowering the contrast of the original image ( Win 10/11 Photos ) and then reload it into the Texture in Chief. M.

that's one that should be reported, as that shouldn't happen and my guess is they didn't find that during testing. M.

I am actually wonder if this is one of those Issues that has come back , I seem to now remember a similar issue 3-4 versions ago and it was corrected. Perhaps someone who has been around a long time like Scott Hall @dshall or Perry @DRAWZILLA remembers? ..... Mick.

If you need to work in metric to be accurate in the current Plan, why not just display the Secondary Dimension with it set to mm? and use it to enter Dims, if needed in metric ( *make sure to type mm after the entered value otherwise Chief will assume inches.) And set the Primary Dim. to 2 place decimal Inches ( could use 1 dec. place if preferred. )

I'm not sure it is, I haven't experienced that, not sure if new in X15 or I just haven't hit that particular situation so it might be worth submitting as the Vertical is not the top of the wall where a Cap should be. As for the Sill you can draw your own Brick Sill in Elevation ( closed CAD LINES ) and save it to you Library as a Molding Profile.

Best answer............... Chief is assuming, like in so many cases, that the User has no clue what they are doing / want and they know better ....... it should do NOTHING to the floor below. bit like how Chief, when you name a room a Garage it automagically decides for you that you need a Monolithic Slab foundation .....grrrrrrrrr. M.

Yep, it's pretty easy to fix in Chief one way or the other , I just don't think it should be happening in the 1st place ( same as the OP ) Mick.

Yes your right, the Bug though is that the Porch ceiling is jumping up to 10' and should remain at 9' and be framing separately with its' own ceiling joists as you mention. M.

Send it in to TS and ask them and so they log the Bug to be looked at....... as it appears the whole main floor has risen to 10' which shouldn't happen and forcing it back down will cause the porch ceiling to follow it down. Please post back if they provide a Solution.... M.

Nope , nobody has access it seems...... M.
