Hello @gravattedesign, The Active Layer Display Options has a few options for it, one of those being "Show All Layers". When Show All Layers is enabled you will not get the filtering that you're used to. This can be controlled by clicking on the small gear icon at the bottom of the Active Layer Display Options and unchecking Show All Layers. I hope this helps!

Hello @DesignTech, You can reset the position of your side windows by going to Edit> Preferences (Chief Architect> Preferences if you're on a Mac), going to Reset Options, choosing Reset Side Windows, and then closing/opening the program. I hope this helps!

Hello @GHArchitect, It looks like the siding layer of your wall is specified as Framing which is causing the program to build very small studs out of your siding material. To resolve this: 1. Open your Wall Specification 2. Go to the Wall Types panel and Define your Wall Type 3. With the siding layer selected uncheck the Framing checkbox below 4. Repeat this with your other wall layers and make sure that only your framing material is marked as Framing You should now see your siding again in your 3D views. If this doesn't seem to resolve the issue please feel free to send this into our Technical Support Center and we can have a deeper look: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html I hope this helps!

Hello @SimpleSpaces, It looks like that wall isn't set to follow its default top height, which is causing the framing to generate incorrectly. To fix this: 1. Select the problem wall and open its specification 2. Go to the Structure panel and check the box for Default Wall Top Height 3. Rebuild your wall framing I hope this helps!

Hello @RefinedRen, Based off of you screenshots this looks like an issue that was fixed with one of our program updates. I would guess that you have the most up to date version on your other systems, but not this system. You can check if an update is available by going to Help> Download Program Updates within the program. If you're already on the latest version I would recommended contacting our Technical Support team through the Technical Support Center. Using the Technical Support Center: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html I hope this helps!

Hello @SilverBar, The Temporary Dimensions can be toggled on/off by going to View> Temporary Dimensions. You will also find the Temporary Dimensions icon along the right side of your screen. I hope this helps!

If you are looking for a view like the one above, but while showing the dimensions and annotations, you can use the method that is covered in this Knowledge Base article. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01142/creating-an-image-for-use-in-a-brochure-flyer-or-website.html

Aha, far away objects will cause similar behavior! This article will walk you through identifying and deleting far away objects: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00021/troubleshooting-small-or-blank-camera-overviews.html Sometimes these can be very very far away and can be tricky to delete (like not being able to be selected normally). If you're unable to delete this object following the resource above please submit a ticket through our Technical Support Center. Using the Technical Support Center: Technical Support Center: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html I hope this helps!

Hello @SteveTiek, I have seen this behavior before when the plan is very far from the plan's origin point. (x:0, y:0). This can typically be resolved by using the Edit Area (All Floors) tool to move your design back to 0,0. Here is a resource that will walk you through those steps: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03124/troubleshooting-origin-error-messages.html If this doesn't seem to resolve the issue, or if you would like assistance, please contact us via the Technical Support Center: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html I hope this helps!

Hello @winterdd, This kind of design can be created by drawing a railing and marking it as No Room Definition. Here is a Knowledge Base article that will outline the process: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00919/placing-a-railing-in-a-doorway.html I hope this helps!

Hello @Chiefuser3gc, You can find far away objects in your plan view, and once deleted your elevation should appear normal again. This resource will walk through locating and deleting far away objects: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00021/troubleshooting-small-or-blank-camera-overviews.html I hope this helps!

Good Morning @Ed_Orum, If I'm understanding correctly, this style of light can be found in Core Catalogs> Architectural> Lighting> Tube Lighting> Recessed. There is both a 24" x 24" LED Recessed Tube Light and a 24" x 48" LED Recessed Tube Light. I hope this helps!

Hello @MN_JohnH, You don't have any kind of foundation room definition so the software is seeing your entire building as cantilevered, so what you're seeing is the cantilever underside material. One solution would be to open your Room Specification, go to the Materials panel, select the cantilever underside material, and change it to No Material or Insulation Air Gap. I hope this helps!

Based off of your description I think this should be the Walls, Through Wall Lines layer. Walls, Through Wall Lines layer enabled Walls, Through Wall Lines layer disabled Does turning this layer off fix those lines for you? If not, would you please attach an image of what you're seeing?

Hello @tbuck1db, in the attached plan you have both the Walls, Main Layer Only and the Walls, Through Wall Lines layers enabled which are going to control how your walls are displayed. To fix this: 1. Go to Tools> Layer Settings> Display Options 2. Find Walls, Main Layer Only and Walls, Through Wall Lines and turn these layers off 3. Click OK This should display your walls like you're used to. I hope this helps!
