Not than I am aware of ......and is only handy IF you need multiples of the same Item , I'd prefer it auto let go of the Object and if I neded to could select it ofr copy or multicopy as needed. Particularly frustrating when you go from Plan to Layout , eg an Elevation View and a Library note comes into Layout on the cursor and of course the text is all the wrong size so no good anyway....... M.

Can't help you sorry , ......wish I could , this drives me nuts too...... have to get in the habit of hitting Space all the time.... M.

Sorry to inform you that SSA is not transferable , the buyer would need to purchase that ($595) at the time of transfer. M.

I did (pink) Apologies if I have accidently "started" something here.... Mick.

I think this was happening early in X13 too IIRC for some and also related to multiple Screens in use. I tend to only use the Side Windows on secondary monitors now due to toolbar issues early in X13..... you could double check you are not running Nahimic sound software on your system , it is a Known incompatibility with Chief , I have it on my laptop , so I have a post in the Tips Forum about it. Mick.

Thanks , you may have hit the nail on the Head , it just would not let me back into the GUI at all. M.

Thanks for taking a look Joe, I am no Macro Guru , just thought I maybe able to help the OP with the Issue. It does surprise me a Macro can bring CA down though..... Thanks J , hopefully you can help the OP as apparently I can't. M.

Then please change your Signature so people don't waste their time.... M.

Yes it was your Macro, I was playing in X14 and just dropped it in to see if a Step had been missed or if there was a typo , one weird thing was the macros were not highlighted eg in the Text Boxes or Room Label when I went to insert them via the M Icon > User Defined but I found I could still insert them although not "available" ( greyed out ) M.

Hi Joe , quite possibly , but it is not my Macro, you maybe able to figure it out, I grabbed it out of a thread to try it as apparently it doesn't work, to see if it was something simple like a typo , this is the post and Files if you want to have a look.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/30911-floor-area-macro-without-needing-a-polyline/?do=findComment&comment=267707 Mick

Anyone Else having a crash / locked out of GUI on Opening a macro in TMM ? I do have a Camera Open in another TAB but don't know if that is related..... Chief is using 9-10% of the CPU doing something but it won't let me back in..... after 8 mins ...I "ended task" on it

Turn on Show Position ( temporarily) and then play with your Offsets , they look wrong to me

I can't remember which version we got UNLIMITED Lights in........... X12 and Up for sure , but before that Chief had an (artificial) OpenGL Light limit of 8 , so you may have to pick and choose which ones are "ON" as I see you have X11. However Chief Still defaults the No# of Lights to 8, have a look in X11 if you have this DBX, in my template plan I have set it to 200 to avoid this in most situations.....

I thought you were the Sketch-Up Master Here ....... I was hoping for a new symbol Pretty sure someone last week had the same issue with that bathtub , and you need to open the Symbol BEFORE resizing it and remove the stretch Planes. M.

Make sure on the Light Data Tab the box is Checked for Raytrace as well or "Both"

I have already tried it and I do unfortunately. M.

If you have the Room I could definitely recommend a Pair of 32" BenQ 1440p monitors, ( use current as a third for email, etc ) also recommended over in this thread too.... but it does come in a 27" version too. https://www.benq.com/en-ca/monitor/designer/pd3200q.html

As Joe mentioned it is easy to use a base cabinet to make those Cabinets yourself , but those Kohler Cabinets are really designed to take therr own pre-made Kohler Countertop and sink all in one unit "Tops" like the Solid Expression Line which are also in the Kohler Library.... M.

You also need to Fix your Light Data actually ........ you only have 1 Light and there are two..... so add one and make the necessary adjustments, which is easier to do if you turn on the "Show Position in camera View Setting" temporarily. *Or download plan I just uploaded PLAN FILE : Exterior Sconce Symbol Plan.plan

Hmmmm cos I just did that ....ie saved to my Library after changes above, ( thanks) and brought back in to check and all seems well? You sure you aren't bringing your BAD light with the 3D offsets back in instead of the "fixed" Symbol with 0" X,Y,Z offsets? ( The Z Offset maybe the only one to use here depending where the Hole for the Octagonal Elec. box is.)

That is done in the Object DBX , not the Symbol DBX ...just the way CA does it I suppose so you can't to it all in one step. In the BAD plan the Light on the Left is Correct but you haven't generated the 2D CAD Block ( using default sconce one), and in the Symbol DBX you should also set the Options....

Thanks for Sharing Ryan, Lots of Builders are using this and the Green ZipWall these days. M.

Just so you are clear the Issue here was that the Kohler Vanity is not a Cabinet, ( no idea why CA did that) it is a Furniture piece, and thus won't accept the sink like a Base cabinet will , it is nothing to do with the type of, or use of the custom countertop. M.
