  1. As you mentioned Earlier it is now called Reflect Geometry now instead though...... which is why people aren't "seeing" it I assume M.
  2. Sorry didn't see you reply earlier today about Following the link above, I have updated the Post and the PDF to include the Fix as well now, I thought it was in there so I didn't need to retype it...... I am not sure what is up with your other issues as it didn't happen here, there was a gap on the Triangle side but I just pulled the top of the wall up a couple of inches to fix it , I wouldn't recommend that in most cases but occasionally it is needed especially if Balloon Through Ceiling doesn't work ( in the Wall's Structure Tab) and it didn't in this case..... I am not sure why your plan was so big previously ( 91mb ) but after purging Materials and resaving it the Plan file is only 9mb - unzipped.... attached below.... MHD_X12_B_dormer_issues.plan M.
  3. No but there is a thread in the Symbols Forum with Parts etc IIRC M. * found a really old post of my own from 2014 with one..... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/627-stairs-with-a-volute-at-the-bottom/?do=findComment&comment=4518 and another from 2014 https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/2610-one-way-to-add-volutes-to-stairs/?tab=comments#comment-21152
  4. Follow the link above , I have updated the Post and the PDF to include the Fix as well now...... Or Chief has a KB Article as well....... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00586/restoring-wall-materials-changed-using-the-material-painter.html M.
  5. You've been using the Paint Can Tool on Exterior Walls, which isn't a good idea , see my link below about that... all I did here was set the Walls back to Siding 6 and the Material's back to default.... other than that you have it good
  6. If you want a framed Cabinet , why aren't you using a framed Cabinet ? with an Opening not a Door ?
  7. Pull it a few inches at a time and see what happens , do you by chance have a invisible wall ( Room Break) on the inside defining the Dormer "Room" try moving it back if so. M.
  8. your on a mac it appears and you have iCloud , is it full ? 22mb is pretty small, it is unfortunate CA lowered the limit to 14mb ( used to be 25mb) during Covid as a cost cutting measure. I thought Mac's came with Dropbox too which is a free 2GB.... M.
  9. The missing part of the side wall is common , depends on a number of factors but generally you can select it while in 3D and pull it across manually to fill in the Hole. Mick.
  10. True , personally I missed the Original Post but currently am not a SP User , so can't share back but Thanks for the Libraries. * might be an Idea to add the Ver. eg X14 , to the Files names, so future Users know what Version the .calibz Files were made in. FYI : SP1 and SP2 seem to be the same Library..... thx. M.
  11. These are Actually Chopsaw's Instructions , I just re-posted to the Tips Sections @Chopsaw I've been using Pixplant for a couple of years now , Ver.5 also does PBR Materials and Texture Maps, so I figured for the $39 Single User Price it was worthwhile. https://www.pixplant.com/index.php Mick.
  12. If you don't use a lot of custom textures , just zipping the plan file itself should suffice , though you may run into issues for example if you use something from a Bonus Library the other User doesn't have installed, as everyone has the Core Library stuff. M.
  13. Probably not if you are that organized M.
  14. It's a Permissions Issues , Chief isn't being allowed to write (update) to the Folder the CA .ini file is in..... DB's KB Article should help sort it out. M.
  15. I agree with the Others, buy yourself (another?) a 8TB-12TB Ext. HDD drive, the WD Elements works well for me..... and put on the Cloud too. ( for redundancy) Materials can add a lot to a Full backup of Plans Or Layouts size but if you are in the Practice of placing new Textures in the Chief Textures Folder and have CA set to also do so with new Materials in Preferences , you can likely get away with just Zipping the Layout and Plan up instead , of course you'll want to be backup the CA Data Folder to an External ( or Internal ) HDD too , I use SyncbackFree for that purpose. Mick.
  16. Try in test Save As Plan 1. convert 3D solid to a plain polyline 2. Convert plain polyline to Countertop ( they allow moldings to be assigned to their Edge) 3. Choose/Apply molding to edge of countertop ( may need to pre-draw the molding in cross section 1st if not done? ) 4. In your case set CTop to desired thickness/height. Mick.
  17. Thanks , but not sure why you'd have to register for a recorded Webinar ? ( so I didn't try that....) it's a Public Beta after all. M.
  18. This seems to be the Webinar Registration Page from last week , not the actual recorded Session ? M.
  19. Which are on Page 0 and auto populate to the other Pages.... M.
  20. All subscription Based now ( Jan.9th ) though there is a one - off Upgrade offer for the 1st year for Users with old Versions. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/37322-chief-architect-software-licensing-changes-beginning-january-10-2023/?do=getNewComment a how to for your SIG. as Ryan mentioned..... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 Mick.
  21. Techo Bloc has a Designers Toolbox as well ( use the Sketchup Textures in Chief ) and Hatch Patterns though they really need to make a Chief Library so it more seamless. @Chief_Content https://www.techo-bloc.com/support/resources/technical-resources/designers-toolbox M.
  22. Thanks for the Update , and it is Driver related so no worries there..... especially since someone above reported crashes with the 531.xx Driver , similar to the Issues with the 525.xx Series. M.
  23. I think you can get what you need via the Railing Wall's , Newels and Baluster Tab IF you uncheck use Defaults under Plan Display, I also uncheck Balusters and Panels after doing that , and apply a Fill Style M.
  24. Here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/1272 and new Caps too Here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/1271 M.
