I think Windows and Doors have Dynamic Defaults unless Mulled together ( or you have made any changes to them eg type) if you are dealing with them specifically you can use the Defaults DBX or the Set as Default Tool and if the Window or Door is using ALL defaults it will change existing ones too, all new windows or door added will use the new Defaults. this works for Cabinets too.... though I think you may need to change each type Full, Base, Wall etc. , check this Tutorial. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00437/using-the-set-as-default-tool-to-change-cabinet-styles.html

There is the Match Properties Tool Icon on the Edit Taskbar ( 1 yellow box with 4 yellow boxes off it ) when you select an Item like a Window , Door or Room , not sure if it will do exactly what you want though ? M.

It has (was) been happening since 1709 for me , the mouse Cursor would disappear if I had a 3D window open too long as one example , some others have reported this too , along with the Fact CA support is now recommending people with issues Rollback to the May Driver. I was also getting issues in some other Apps, so did the Rollback 2 weeks ago. But I have seen numerous Posts this week about it and was posting in two threads this morning to help out , so figured it was easier to make a new post for people to find with all the Info, assuming they do a search I have a GTX 970 and a GTX 980Ti , not one of the new 10 Series cards which I believe the 388 Series Drivers are mainly aimed at .....newer is not always better when it comes to Drivers despite what M$ would have you believe and them pushing Drivers from Windows Update.....I personally update my own Drivers, so this Option is always off on my Systems, if I have an issue I look into , and see what others recommend 1st, especially as many of the M$ Drivers are Stripped down versions of the Full Driver and come with no GUI , eg many of Intel's GFX Drivers. I tried Versions 388.0 and 388.13 for another Program and they Broke it (DirectX Errors) and Chief but others were reporting issues with 388.0 on other Forums like OCN.net too. Mick.

The mouse cursor disappearing in 3D views and other weirdness seem to be some symptoms in Chief , I was also get Crashes with some sort of DirectX error , in other Programs , as far as I know Chief uses OpenGL not DirectX (maybe both?) and Chief was not Open when that was happening One Possible Fix that helped me and a few others is Rolling the Driver back ( re-installing actually) ) to May's Version 382.05 , this Driver is no longer available since this week off the usual Nvidia Drivers Download page , at least for me, the oldest is 385.12 so below are the direct links to the download page for 382.05. Make sure you get the Correct Version as there is a Notebook/Laptop version too. Once you have Run the Installer you will also need to disable Windows Update from Updating Hardware Drivers or it will almost immediately re-Update you to to the 388.xx Driver again, more on that below too. Nvidia Desktop Driver version 382.05 direct download page http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118514/en-us Nvidia Notebook/Laptop Driver version 382.05 direct download page http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118518/en-us How to disable Windows 10 Driver Updates The Full post is over at TenForums ( a great general Win10 Issues Forum) if you'd like to check it out.... https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-enable-disable-driver-updates-windows-update-windows-10-a.html But I use the provided .reg files from there as they always seem to work .... I have zipped them and attached them below for easy download , you will need to run the OFF file for now , the ON file is provided so you can easily re-enable it when desired or needed. Drivers From Win Update Reg Files.zip And the Instructions from TenForums ( all Credit to Shawn aka Brink over there for the Tutorial and Files above ) 3. To Turn Off Including Driver Updates in Windows Update A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the file below, and go to step 4 below. Turn_off_include_drivers_in_Windows_Update.reg 4. Save the .reg file to your desktop. (Unzip the File above to a Folder for reuse , if you downloaded it 1st and double click it from there) 5. Double click/tap on the downloaded .reg file to merge it. 6. If prompted, click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge. It is usually recommended to restart your computer after a Registry Update , so do that before starting Chief again.... If you need to Reenable Driver Updates just use the other Provided file ie..... Turn ON_ To Turn On Including Driver Updates in Windows Update Turn_on_include_drivers_in_Windows_Update.reg 5. Double click/tap on the downloaded .reg file to merge it. 6. If prompted, click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge. It is usually recommended to restart your computer after a Registry Update , so do that before starting Chief again.... Also if using a Laptop with two Video Cards ( Discrete Graphics ) make sure the Discrete Card is assign to be used in Chief or the HD Titles as Chief does not have a 3D Profile in Nvidia Control panel for example and is not always recognized as a 3D Application.

Glad to help , You will need to disable Driver Updates through Windows Update or it will almost immediately try to "Update" you again see this post earlier in the Thread https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16034-chief-is-acting-buggy-on-my-system/?do=findComment&comment=135698 Or see the thread I just made about this here:

you may need this version for a notebook...... http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118516/en-us you will need to disable Driver updates afterwards so check this new thread too:

2nd tuesday every month is Microsoft Update day..... looks like you dont have 1709 yet....FCU... you may need this version for a notebook...... http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118516/en-us

there are no system specs in your Sig. so hopefully they support your Laptop Chip/Card ? .... YMMV

This has been discussed a few times over the years so a search should find several threads about it ...... but I have a 4-4-8 Siding Library you can have if it helps, hopefully still good in X9 I haven't used it for a while........ M. 4-4-8 Variable Exp. Siding_MHD.calibz

Chief doesn't call them Brackets , or Knee Braces... they are in the Corbels Library under Millwork .... search RANCH and you will find them.... Mick

it seems Nvidia has removed all drivers before 385.12 from the Drivers Download page but 382.05 is still available by this direct link http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118514/en-us

Just thought I'd add that the new Tutorial Guide is available now with the other X9 Documentation ( User and Manual ) , it is much more extensive than the Original User guide and walks you through examples from beginning to Start , and it's pretty good. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/documentation.html I also still have this CA Drawing Order Cheat Sheet from years ago , which may help too... CA Drawing Order QuickTip.docx

Please do us a favour , don't use all caps , it is very hard to read and not good Forum ( or internet) etiquitte , thx. I agree with Perry Chief does not benefit from typical CAD Workstation Hardware , you don't need the latest and great either , so could save a $1000 probably but get the best you can afford now , and hopefully it will stave off future upgrades longer.... go PC#2 I have rolled back to 382.05 (may) and turned Windows Driver Updates off for now using this Tutorial on TenForums ***EDIT it seems Nvidia has removed all drivers before 385.12 from the Drivers Download page but 382.05 is still available by this direct link http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118514/en-us

One suggestion before drawing any walls etc is to set up the known Defaults 1st , eg the ceiling height , ceiling structure ,whether there is a Ceiling or the space is Vaulted ( as in this case ), Roof Slope and Structure, Foundation details, etc ..... at least enough for the basic Structure . I noticed your Roof planes aren't joined properly at the Ridge (Peak) but this roof builds pretty well on auto , if all the walls are given their correct directives in the roof Tab 1st ...ie gable, high shed, etc. , then you can fix the roof over the bumpout simply by manually by pulling that section down , and added the reverse slope at the ridge for the overhangs either side. If you have a hole appear in the ceiling like that, try the Wall's...... Stop at ceiling or go through ceiling settings ...one or the other usually fixes it. I also did as Eric did at the Stairwell....ie set as Solid Rail and changed the Top Rail to a Cap..........pretty narrow stair at only 3'.... here's your revised Plan so you can see what I did, I have saved a couple of Camera Views for you too... Loudon_MHD_Plan.plan M.

I am not sure where you are seeing this information unless you mean in the Wall's DBX when you open it ? as there is no "Edit" > "Preferences" -> "Number Style" I can see ( or remember) Or do you mean in a Layout ....not a Plan? Mick.

My Construction Master Pro is great , I just can't make myself pay another $30 for the windows version and the Android version too, when I have it... M.

I am not a MAC person but I thought Nvidia had supported Mac OS for years , (does Apple Support Nvidia I don't know,) but Nvidia has drivers for download, they are harder to find though..... http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/117854/en-us there is also sites like tommymac and 9to5 Mac mentioning it https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-releases-alternate-graphics-drivers-for-macos-high-sierra-10-13-0-378-10-10-10-15.225522/ https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/27/nvidia-pascal-drivers-high-sierra/ perhaps you should be calling Tech Support if possible and have them help if needed... as there are many here running CA on MACs with no issues... it would help to if you filled in your Forum Signature with your System Specs so others can offer more help and advice .....see my signature for a quick how to do it.... M.

Nice technique Mark , thanks again , FF actually let me save the Video too , so I'll actually be able to review it when I want to use the Library , so much appreciated , the Video made it look very easy.....now you've done all the hard work making the library of course

FireFox wouldn't load it here but once I install VLC-64bit , it added an extension to FF and it now opens fine. ( perhaps I did something wrong 1st time around? ) thanks for the Update and Files Mark ..... M.

Thanks , I usually have VLC installed but don't at the moment..... M.

The Roof planes over the one story section are cutting thru the Upper story Wall, pull them back out of the wall , you may need to open the Roof Panel's DBX and check "no special snapping" to do this as that upper wall is broken into 3 sections and should really be one , that can be fixed easily by dragging either the top or bottom section of wall over the other pieces so it becomes one wall again. You will likely have to "fix" the 3D view to get all the siding the correct colour , as Eric said your default is blue siding not the champagne. Pictures can be easily add to a post with the (Windows) Snipping Tool in Accessories , I have it added to my taskbar for quick access, just drag out a selection around the issues and save the capture to your desktop and then drag the capture into the light grey area in the reply box

Hi Mark , thanks for the library....how did you make the Movie , my computer says it doesn't know what a .webm file is.... PS ...do you have a link to your other "kit" ?

I have turned Driver Updates off from Windows Update for now using this tutorial......I used the .reg file to do it.... and have the one to reenable too if needed , this needs redoing if there is a major cumulative update to Win10. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/15989-turn-off-device-driver-automatic-installation-windows-10-a.html

if you are trying to place windows without framing close to each other , go into the Window Defaults ( in defaults not the window itself) and on the general Tab adjust the window Minimum separation to say 1/16th so you can bump them together without CA trying to put framing between them.
