Looks to me like chief is creating an automatic Cricket, as water would hit the back of that wall, but you can turn off Auto Roof Build and Take over the Roof work manually, but you don't want to turn of Auto until all areas possible look correct as turning auto back on at some point can destroy the manual work done. Different version can have different methods , so best to add a signature so you don't need to mention the version every time.....this will show you how. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 These are some links on doing Roofs Manually..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00441/creating-hip-and-gable-roofs-manually.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/25/drawing-roofs-manually.html?playlist=95 M.

I agree it can be done this way in Chief but honestly for something like this, a few solids multi-copied and turned into a symbol is probably just as fast especially if the Manufacturer has specs or even dwgs online to look at. M.

They didn't Officially, that's what Lew has been trying to tell you, he called them this week to get the Transfer Form after the Announcement and they said "we don't do that, never have" ............. which most people here know is not the truth of it at all...... just look at the Offers Forum for past "For Sale" Posts..... or this thread in the Sales Forum..... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/33430-buying-used-license-on-chieftalk/?tab=comments#comment-282198 M.

Are you sure ? as most recent Macs I have seen (of Clients) automatically backup the Documents Folder to iCloud by default.... Macs come with Dropbox now I think also? at least my client's had it and the Data Folder was being backed up to it as well. Chief has several KB articles about that and similar Issues with PCs..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03116/resolving-unexpected-behavior-on-a-mac-by-redirecting-the-data-folder.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03125/troubleshooting-error-messages-associated-with-the-program-s-data-folder.html#macOS M.

Tad naïve to think the sudden change in CA policy, (of 30+ yrs?) didn't coincide with the Nov.29th Announcement of the new Subscription Model...... How would that be possible since Chief NO LONGER ALLOWS IT ? ..... M.

I believe you'll actually find this is the other way around ..... i.e. Chief owns the Software and we have only Licensed it's use after buying in ( and paying SSA ). Personally I don't see what this has to do with it ? Has my (work) Truck made me money over the last 10yrs? who knows ? but I'd sure be unhappy if I got an email from Chevrolet next week saying I can no longer sell it because come Jan. they will be selling all future Vehicles by monthly or yearly Subscription only. M.

Correct , unfortunately , but I think it is because Chief only allows for us ( or them) to make certain categories of symbols which all come with a Fixed Layer assignment. For stuff I use a lot for Generic layouts I have a STD (standard) Library of things like Appliances , set to use the Appliance Layer etc made as Joey mentioned. M.

Perhaps talk to support , it maybe a MacOS issue maybe? 1st report I've seen I think of this though there was some issues in MacOS 10.5 , and currently their are issues with graphics on the PC side too with the current Nvidia Drivers. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/known-incompatibilities.html

522.25 was a bad driver for many ( all 522.xx actually) , did you try 526.86 ? or 526.96 ( both okay here on new plans anyway) I think before the 526.xx series I was using 516.94 from August. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us M.

I ran 527.37 GR Driver all today without any Issues but that was in "pure X14" Templates on a new project. So I'm not sure if Older Plans may be related to the issues for some, which was my own past experience. Have not tried 527.56 yet myself , but 526.86 was also good for me. M.

Personally I find it Very Driver version dependent and have never found much difference in GR or Studio, since it the same code base. There are already reports of issues with this driver here on the Forum ( below ) however I am trying the GR version myself ( installed last night ) https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/37398-is-anyone-else-having-issues-with-a-graphics-card-warning/?tab=comments#comment-283266 Mick.

I've been using Nvidia Driver 526.86 GR for the last few weeks with no issues, these Errors/crashes for me were usually in Old plans from X11/12 brought forward. I actually just installed 527.37 today, but I have not used Chief yet. There are supposed to be performance increases in some programs in versions above 522.xx, ( the 525.xx series was not good though for me), so I will keep an eye on this thread and report back if I go back to 526.86. Mick.

Are you not following this thread Doug? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/37322-chief-architect-software-licensing-changes-beginning-january-10-2023/ there is also a FAQ here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/licensing/ M.

Do a search of the Symbols Forum......... might have been Joe Carrick who posted it .... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/9-symbols-and-content/ @Joe_Carrick M.

There was a roll-up metal garage door posted in the Symbols Forum at one point. M.

One thing to consider if going 2018 to 2023 is that it may not run on older computers, so look closely at the Hardware requirements and perhaps add you hardware specs to your Forum Signature ( see Ryan's and mine for examples) so others can give you the correct information. M.

Go up a Floor or Down a Floor ....my guess is they are not on Level 1 in Plan View which is the norm. Mick.

Hard to tell from the pic , you haven't just assigned the wrong material to it have you ? ...looks like siding to me in pic... another thought - have you rebuilt the framing ? otherwise as Rob said you might need to post the plan. M.

Oh I don't disagree Gene, it's a pretty common/normal practice, I was just pointing out what I think is happening, which it seems Jacob has confirmed now, but perhaps we could have a "Do not Auto mull Casing check box" , *or other defaults so the auto-mull doesn't use the mulling defaults which we can't access. M.

I think the Mulling programming is working as expected, and you see what is expected from a "Factory-ganged" window Unit, the Issue it seems is that, that same programming is affecting the Casing when two window Casings "touch", and Chief does what I'd call an "auto-mull" using the same Programming (code) as if we had asked for a ganged Unit rather that casing them separately and need so the overlaps don't disappear. M.

In woodworking they are generally called appliques Google search link M.

As a general rule Joe, Laptop graphics can't be upgraded......( looking at your sig. ) It also has 1/2 the memory of your 1070 8GB.... M.

There are some Library items in Chief you could possibly re-use eg. the IAMDesign Catalog or Indital ( old IAMDesign? ) M.

You can import directly into the Layout if needed too. Did you change your Background Color perhaps? Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Color

Thanks Len, posting a few screen grabs ( Window's Snipping Tool ) will help too perhaps get a few more interested too .... 1 pic is worth a thousand words sounds like you may have pics of the "real" situation too.... Mick.
