Has anyone experienced these report errors after trying to update the catalog set in the library? I've deleted the CAD Block Bonus Catalog, reran the update and it's clean. I downloaded the catalog anew / FRESH from the website and installed it successfully. BAM.... same error returns when I press the "Update Library Catalogs" button. See screenshot below. Thanks for any help you can provide, Mark PS -- I'll add commentary that we are a bit frustrated with the new library format -- it changes (probably due to user farble) and it's not very intuitive how to return to the format we were used to when searching libraries, getting confused when there is a filter set (that makes catalogs disappear). Yes, we can work with it, but seriously lacks some intuition it used to contain. PSS -- Also a bit confusing with Catalog Updates: If the Time Tracker timeout pops up during a catalog install or library catalog update -- the program appears to FREEZE during operation with no way to take action. This happened when installing the HUGE Kohler catalog and Task Manager said CA was NOT RESPONDING. I was about to force it to end, when it suddenly finished. It should never freeze preventing any action, like accepting the Time Tracker. And either way -- a Catalog Update always leaves the last catalog showing as 100% completed when the attached error message shows up, leading one to believe THE ERROR MESSAGE APPLIES TO THE LAST CATALOG until you carefully read the message (in my case: message for CAD BLOCKS and Last Catalog: ZLINE. Not related.) Thanks for listening to the PS/S ...

Thank you both @DBCooper and @glennw! That helped a lot. However, I still feel there is a weakness and wonder if it is worth reporting -- Note in the following example of my Material List with Categories and SubCategories and the Materials by Layer Display. I feel there is a disconnect (for example with Fixtures) where the Material List states ONLY ID = Fixtures, but The Layer Display options are Fixtures, Exterior / Interior / Labels. And, the Sub Category in the Material List is empty for absolutely every entry. To me, this appears an inconsistency, no? However, to do what I need to do, I can manually interpret and get it done so not urgent. Thanks again guys! Mark and Donna

OK - I'm familiar with layers and creating a custom set based on selecting to view a custom selection of Layer to show. PROBLEM: I've been "surprised" when I deselect a certain layer and something important disappears... but sadly may not know it for a few days. Often, it's because I don't pay too much attention to the default layer when placing items in a design and certain layers may be open to interpretation, like "Fixtures, Exterior". DESIRE: A material list BY DEFAULT LAYER of all items. I can create a material list and it contains everything, but not by Layer. Can this be done? More importantly, am I missing something critical if no one else has this challenge? Thanks for your thoughts, Mark X14 Build 24.2.2.1 on Windows 10

Stumped by TemplateTextures.zip across X versions

Thank you Mick. Thought I "Migrated" everything. however, your suggestion is simple and straightforward. Embarrassed I didn't think of it. :-) Will give that go and safely dump old stuff. Cheers. -
The maddening template texture missing file. Running X14 and want to clear out X9 X13 etc. from Document files but can't because a plan initiated in X13 then after migrating to X14 complains there is a missing texture file. Can I somehow migrate the X13 TemplateTextures.zip to X14? I know I can search X14 for a replacement material... But why isn't this handled by a PLAN MIGRATION action or something similar? I'm sure I'll get the same if I start opening one of the many previous plans I've done. Must I continue to keep every previous version of Chief? Thanks for your suggestions. OBTW... On Windows 10 Chief X14 Build 24.2.0.51

Thank you gents! I added .msi to the existing file and it updated without incident to 24.2. I am using the up-to-date version of Firefox. It hasn't stripped the msi suffix in the past.

Just downloaded Chief update 24.2 on PC/Windows and the filename is: Chief_Architect_Premier-24.2.0(3).51-Win64 there is no suffix. Is this really an MSI file? Is it only me?

I appreciate the recommendations in this Q&A. However concerns over weight were mentioned. Does anyone recommend a smaller but powerful laptop, lighter, thinner maybe 13-15 inch screen? Lookinging to use this with a 27 inch monitor. TIA
