This is exactly why I don't even waste my time messing with AI to change my renderings, I make every fixture and material to be exact and I don't want an AI messing it up. Even one error means I have to mess around with it. My time is more valuable making the fixtures and materials then dialing in my renderings, which does not take long when you have it set to what you need already. All we do is high end residential interior design and it has to be 100% accurate or it's a no go.

It looks like it is using the "dark mode" icons instead of the standard. just played with it on mine, I have it on a dark theme, but changed to force light and restarted the program. I'm getting that same issue you are seeing. Maybe a bug with the new toolbar icons for dark mode?

I haven't experienced that exact behavior, but I have had a lot of super slow loading, especially in layout. I move something and it takes 10-20 seconds before I can do anything else.

I've never thought of using a DWG viewer to give it a look over before sending, I'm going to start doing this, thanks for that tip!

This is correct. During the beta I was having this issue and reached out to Chief, they suggested deleting all walls in my template plan, then suppressing living area label, then closing and reopening the plan. This worked and now when I draw in the rooms, the living area does not display.

That's the ticket, thank you @tundra_dweller!

I have what feels like a silly question, but I am hoping you all can help me figure out what I am missing. In X17 macros that were reporting any measurement were doing so with the " and ' format, but in X18 i am getting IN and FT. I have a very basic understanding of macros, so I am not sure if it something I'm doing differently with them. But my suspicion is that it is a setting buried somewhere in my plan that I am unaware of. It doesn't seem to be something in text styles or number formating, so I am at a loss of where to look. In the attached plans, you can see that my room label shows the ceiling height as 96 IN, when I'd like it to say 96". Any guidance is greatly appreciated. TEMPLATE - PLAN.zip

There is a tool called "Renumber Schedule", see image. Just select your note schedule and it will pop up in your lower toolbar.

Looks like it's only happening in some tables and not others. In the fixture dialog box it's working correctly.

You are absolutely correct, it is the Windows accent color. It seems like the selected row color of Chief should override this.

Is anyone else having an issue with the color preference "Table Selected Row"? It is working for any table that does not have a Table Alternate Row color, but I'm getting the wrong color being used for the selected row in tables using an alternate row color.

I have this happen too, and it bugs me for some reason, I just send without color then turn color on in layout. Then you can copy your page and just relink the elevation to the next one you need and don't have to go through that.

My favorite is the shower in the kitchen

I'm not sure about the selection issue you are seeing, I am not able to replicate it. You modify the size within the Room specification dialogue, under the Label tab. The size is determined by the text style used, which is found under the Appearance section. You can set it to use the layer text style or you can uncheck that and type in a specific text size.

Yeah, having a different type of panel on each side does add an additional step, it would definitely be nice if they are able to fix it in the custom configuration panel. I run into that set up frequently too, so I feel your pain. I actually never use the auto panel options and always manually place panels, primarily because of the way that they show up (or don't) in plan view. I need more precision than the tool currently offers, it would be nice if they did some work on it to bolster it's abilities. But I have all of my standard side panels saved as library objects with all reveals accounted for, and set at correct depths, heights, height of floor, etc. and made a custom toolbar with them all so I can easily click and place without having to search or use another tool. Might help speed things up for now. Good luck!
