yep , sounds like you tried to open the zip with Chief ? , unzip it to an empty folder or your desktop and then open the .plan.
-
Yep I found the same issues as Glenn , though I see 24" wide stem walls on the house and I think your footing width and height are backwards, unless you need ground beams? at least here a footing would be 24" wide and 12" tall not the other way around. normal here I doctored your Beadboard will I was at it and added the pony walls with the Wall's pony wall checkbox...brick is default BTW. there is something in your plan that is making Chief crawl speed wise , not sure if you have a bad symbol or what? , for a 5mb plan it is very slow....even in 2D Genesis_Front Porch Test_R1.plan

likely you haven't set your Foundation Default's up correctly before building the foundation.... i'll have a quick look at the plan.

my guess is your exterior and interior wall layers are not 1/16th , so change those as needed eg to 1/2" beadboard and 1/2" Drywall or ???? once you have the beadboard on the wall , use/click the Define Material Tool (aka the Rainbow Tool) ( see Pic) and click on your exterior Wall , and in the resulting DBX click on the material color and choose another , or use the eyedropper tool in the color window at bottom left, to get the color of another window/website or whatever you like.Then on the Texture Tab select "Blend with Texture" box. and hit ok To save it for the future, go into the Wall's DBX>material tab>exterior wall>select material ,find the BBoard in the list and on the right add it to your library.

those kinds of symbols need a wall to let them insert , instead use Chief's Plan Notes and legends in the CAD Block Library , you can unblock them and edit if needed.

I was wondering what issue Scott , looking at your images , but realise that is the fixed version , now I opened the plan... , nice catch BTW. Ohh and P. I think you still have a Booboo

great , same videocard on both computers ? tell him to never rely on M$ for driver updates ,go straight to Device Manufacturer everytime for vid. ,sound, network,wifi etc , esp. with Notebooks , a lot of Laptop Manf. never update there websites either once Comp has gone to market. M.

That's true , some of you are and some of us aren't , as the saying goes , " if I didn't have bad luck , I'd have none at all " M.

nice I get it right and Perry gets the Best Answer what do you mean you can't adjust ? move out from building? , add extra dim points as needed? cos I can do that no issue with the edit handles , at least on my test plan just now , and it how I remembering it working , I usually have it one as you only get to use the Button ONCE

tell him to Try ATI direct ( or Nvidia unless both comps are ATI Radeons) , not windows Update ...they NEVER have the latest and not always the best either http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop actually not sure it is a desktop but try this link , if he is computer tech illiterate try the AutoDetect way 1st. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Ceiling elev above stairs not same as the rest of the second floor clg.
Kbird1 replied to para-CAD's topic in General Q & A
looks like you played with the ceiling structure on the 1st floor ? you have a non default ceilings at 11 1/4 " in most Rooms , I set those back to default after setting the stairwell as a bedroom ,temporarily, instead of open below and it seems to have sorted itself out and I can now access all the floor structure heights etc in the DBX's. *** I may have played with another setting before doing this so YMMV -
it's called your finger don't click on Auto Dims Icon Twice .... try turning on Auto refresh for your old setup instead
-
Damn he might be right looking at the plan view I see a footing line..... **note to self check all images posted...
-
and use the Edit>Delete>Delete Objects DBX to get them all in one go.... do you have Auto refresh on for Ext.Dims?
-
or you have a brick ledge set in the Wall DBX?
-
Try updating the video drivers

It sounds like you may not be aware of using the tab key to get to each individual window within a Bay, Bow,Bow grouping ? Check this thread: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5534-bay-bow-and-box-windows/?hl=%2Bbay+%2Bwindow

I think P. Is right , perhaps older Intel integrated video cards in both. M.

the 3D Plants in the Library have the same effect....

Thanks Graeme , I need to do that too.
-
Good cos it looks pretty much like the photos I saw , except the room above the garage roof needs lowering , but I don't see any railings... if you went in from baseline another 2-3" ? with the Mansard setting it would look closer I think, looks a bit short now, on the main house. M.
-
I meant the room over the garage, popping up thru the roof , it's roof is lower than main garage/entry roof. I'll download plan when back in the Office soon but still not clear on your issue. M.
-
the garage popout room roof is lower than the garage roof , and garage is lower than main house ...in the photos ... so what are you trying to do?
