  1. Yes changing the Pattern , doesn't change the Texture which is what you see in 3D views , you can change the Texture size , it works for some but not all as you need to change the Texture too probably in a program like Paint or Photoshop as a lot of tile comes with premade grout lines etc and if the texture was Stacked you cant change it to Brick pattern that easily. you can find a tile texture in the library that is what you want size wise and try changing the material with the material painter perhaps. Dal Tile library was update on Monday and there is a Bonus tile library too. M.
  2. Add it in the Suggestions Forum you will likely get some +1's from others.
  3. best to post the plan or at least a test plan
  4. 1.42 calories... if that were the case CA could sell Chief as exercise Software and I'd be thin as a Rail with all these DBX's
  5. Switch to is on the Configuration Tab if you have it ? if not there, try Edit >Preferences>Reset Options>Reset Side Windows hit ok and restart the Program HomeTalk is over here BTW ..same User ID and Password https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/forum/5-qa/ M.
  6. if none of the above work try holding the Ctrl Key after the 1st error message , Chief will then allow 2 sessions to Run.
  7. there is a video on creating wall legends , it might get you started........ http://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=wall+legend
  8. Nice idea , this reminded me that I have always wished you could enter the skylight's width and Length in the DBX too , not just the frame height and width.
  9. check you have textures toggled on in the other views , if that isn't it posting pics of the issue will help get you an answer...
  10. I think in Chief it is normally Off? , there is a setting in the Render Panel I think to "Zoom Using Field of View" but I find it too disorientating at times, so have it off usually.
  11. wouldn't the transom above that window have the Header ? there is no framing above that Window
  12. Good Tip Rashid , got to remember that one to try next time...
  13. There was a thread about 6-8 weeks ago in the Off Topic Area Boxon1 , they are going to turn it off at some point , and suggested we transfer any info we wanted to keep to this Forum , you might want to read that thread, ? I agree it is valuable info still to many, I went looking for something yesterday and found no easy way to access it any longer since they removed the link off the front page. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4805-old-forum-gone/?hl=%2Bold+%2Bforum
  14. there was this post by Simonas about his new 5K https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5246-x7-is-slow-as-hell-on-new-imac-5k/?hl=imac you could try messaging him for some insights perhaps
  15. it's probably z-fighting , check this thread https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5239-roof-ghosting-in-3d/?hl=z-fighting#entry45508
  16. not sure what the reference to Corel Draw in the Title is about ? but Chief X6 files will open natively in Chief X7 , however if you save them in X7 they wont open again in X6.
  17. and is searchable, at least as of today ,June 8,2015 , but may not be always , as they have already removed the link off this Forum's Front Page if you hadn't noticed. I couldn't get to the Forum Front page ( all links come back here) but the Search box is working on the RH side http://www.chieftalk.com/search.php?searchid=46428
  18. there are paint brushes with flexible handles too , you can bend to the shape needed and they hold that shape.... though I'm thinking it would need a whole new technique...
  19. I think they are imported on the CAD, Default Layer , so check if that Layer is Displayed by default ( (Active)Display Layer Options) in whatever Set you are Using.
  20. it should be I agree , add it as a Suggestion and i'll +1 it , I am surprised I don't see more request for it actually. the other thing missing is the Soffit Venting ( strip or otherwise ) M.
  21. Don't think so , I don't ever remember seeing this in CA , I always add a few Cross boxes and lines to Section views , but I guess you could do it manually. of course I may be missing it too M.
  22. +1 on Larry's advice And I don't know that DVD but the ASUS one I have (24F1ST) is the Nastiest, loudest one I have ever heard.
  23. Because that is the Industry Standard in many parts of the World , any Builder knows to just Frame the RO to the next door size up so the one spec'd will fit in the RO. ie an 810mm Door's RO is 860mm . Doing Masonry walls it may well be different though.
  24. They are doing server maintenance etc today , I saw in the announcements area , but when I checked the Library after the download for more details the Dal Tile Lib. wasn't there. edit : appears to be there now http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/684
  25. It looks like the error message mentions my File Graham , I guess you skipped reading Post # 136 Scott you should have it if you downloaded Graham's Texture file in post no# 165 too
