The Image Export Function of Chief apparently has an undocumented De-Noiser built in , which is partially why Rob's images are much Cleaner than yours. Apparently that statement is now withdrawn ...see below Chief has just posted a PDF this afternoon on Rendering from the Academy last week here too : https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/36465-chief-academy-2022-recap-and-resources/?do=findComment&comment=277149 Mick. @Renerabbitt

If it is Rock Dash or similar try the Gravel or Pea Gravel fills in the Library instead of Sand, adjust the Scale once again as needed. M.

It's not a Line Style , it is a Pattern , change the spacing if 12" is too "light" for the number of Dots you want - try 6", then 3" etc , until it's how you want it.... M.

That's what we were trying to tell you to do up above....... add it..... use the Material Definition Tool ( looks like a Rainbow , top right usually ) click on the stucco material and on the Pattern Tab set the Pattern to Sand and a 12" spacing.... M.

I mostly use it now and again for turning them off so I can see better if the view is heavy on PATTERNS, eg Cedar Sidewall Shingles , Roofing etc M.

I guess I added it many moons ago? I've been using a custom toolbar for years..... as from your post it sounds like it is not normally there... M.

there are 2-3 places to do it and you may need to toggle more than 1 depending on what you have done....

looks like a nice high end laptop and should have no issues running Chief, did you talk to Support? Have you googled around for others with that model having issues?, maybe the issue isn't Chief or are all other 3D programs running fine? M.

Also what I did to my Stucco material , just make sure to space it out , quite a bit, or the elevations will look too dark and also slow Chief down possibly . *Add this Pattern to the Stucco material if not there already......... M.

Set the Room Height at 88" , built the Roof Automatically with the 24" Roof Depth at desired Pitch, ( so roof planes build off 88" walls) then turn off Autobuild Roof and then back in the Room Definition set the ceiling height to 112" which should give you the flat area...with sloping sides. ( Roof Planes won't move with AutoBuild off , but ceiling will ) M.

Likewise , here it is Code dictated so I don't waste time duplicating the Info, however I do like to put the odd one in the Plans at Cross Section locations to show it will be a truss Roof - with a Note that it is shown for Information only and is/will be Truss Eng. designed. M.

Haven't watched Eric's Video, and not to take anything away from his advice ....but in a 3D camera you can use the Surface Delete Tool to remove the Feet , and then save the Stove as a new symbol ( before doing anything else or leaving the view as, the deleted Surfaces will refresh and come back ) M.

Doesn't hurt to try the KB ...as seen in the Error Message..... is one or the other missing or miss configured? other than that I would say post the Plan...... as the Truss won't generate without Both. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03164/message-roof-and-ceiling-planes-cannot-be-found-or-they-are-too-close-together-so-cannot-make-truss.html M.

Do it in your Signature, not Profile along with some Hardware Info as well , see my and others Sigs. .... I was beginning to think this might be a MacOS Issue actually from the other Posts..... The biggest known Issue with multi-monitor is the Nahimic ( A-Volute ) Software, Dell, MSI, Asus all use it.... but I don't think this is used on MacOS. M.

Making a dedicated Saved Plan View ( SVP ) Called Finished Floor Plan ( or similar ) buy duplicating a Current View and putting the Room Fill Polylines on a dedicated Layer ( Room Fills ) so you can turn them off in other SVPs should work, this will also need you to duplicate the Layerset too and set it to be used by the new SVP, ( the new SVP Defaults) leaving the Room Fill displayed in it and turned off in the original SVP/Layerset. something like this - I duplicated the Working SPV here...: Finished Floor Plan SVP Test.plan M.

You might be right, but when I looked at the 2nd post it looked like everything was gone , so I assumed he meant the Toolbars, I don't ever remember having the Menu Bar disappear , so don't think I can help with that one......not even sure I have seen it mentioned before actually? M.

Your pic above shows X10? did you remove it already? You would Copy the Objects you want to your User Library and then multi-select them ( with Ctrl) and then right Click > Export > save in X14 Folder and then use Install Library as normal to Import them. M.

As Alan pointed out they are now rotatable , since X12 I think?, so it seems Chief removed the horizontal outlet and the Cabinet mount too I believe as there is no need for these special symbols anymore though Floor and Ceiling mounted are still there. Mick

Never seen it mentioned here before , so might be best to contact Support on Tues. M.

There are known issues with computers using Multiple Monitors and Nahimic Software and for me removing Sonic Radar from my laptop fixed it....

Did you try Resetting the Toolbars ? ..... in Preferences , perhaps they are corrupt. there have been other reports of missing toolbars , even earlier this week , but I haven't heard of it happen just in camera views. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/36357-disappearing-toolbars/?tab=comments#comment-276529 M.

That makes sense I guess for your situation, unfortunately I've had issues in the past like only getting 1 of a particular window rather than the 3 in the Schedule which the "Salesman" didn't notice ...... and guess who eats the cost since the Order was Confirmed by the Builder and quantities wasn't noticed on the Order. I'd probably be finding a way in Chief with extra Columns or a custom Column perhaps to keep them all separate somehow. M.

This is what I do, so there are no errors from the Window/Door Companies, like Qty. Swing etc and each has it own Sch. No# etc which also makes questions via Phone or Email easier if needed. Mick.

Block a bunch of them off this Project and save to library perhaps in Color groups? for future Projects M.

Manually I think yes , there will be a Wall though or you'd need to two-pitch the 4:12 roof on the left. Will the Metal supplier warranty a 1/2" : 12 pitch ? M.
