Gonna give this a shot. Thanks for the tip.

I am pretty sure you will find all of your folders under "Documents". You are looking for a folder called "Chief Architect Premier X16 Data" where the X16 is the version of chief you have installed. I would make sure those folders exist or didn't somehow get remapped transparently without you being aware.... In my case this happened when I set my Mac to sync with iCloud. Suddenly everything was missing. This is because in order for things to sync with iCloud, they had to be in a certain folder and therefore "documents" was remapped by macOS to the new folder. Once I reset the folder path location in Chief everything sorted itself out. If the data folders exist check the actual "documents" folder path and compare with what is in chief. if you don't know how to do that a quick google search should suffice.

This'll require manual roofs. it should be relatively easy tho.

Are you wanting the upper roof to extend down to lower roof or vice versa?

This is one of those things that frustrate me too. Would really like more control over how these walls clean up like "don't clean up this intersection!" The cleanup wall tool does help sometimes. Anyway, try this.... Step 1 - pull the end of the wall out past the intersection. Step 2 - Grab the diamond on the end of the wall to draw a new wall, just a few inches, in the direction opposite the shower wall but perpendicular to the existing wall. Step 3 - make the new wall invisible. Step 4 - move the new invisible wall back towards the original location, where you want the end of the wall. Adding the invisible wall gives the wall something to cleanup with. If you really want to get technical make a new invisible wall layer for the little wall piece and turn it off.

That's what I was thinking. I just didn't want to have to do that if there was something baked in. Thanks

Thanks for the response..... It's actually an angled bird box. The roof itself doesn't change. I attached a photo.

What is the best way to achieve a gable angled bird box like this? its kind of a French country look. Thanks

Yes.... I know you can do this with the wall display options in wall definition, I just prefer this ;look only for marketing materials. SO I used the wall hatch tool. Anyway, it's causing the gaps you are seeing at the intersection. My standard wall fill in wall def looks like yours without the gaps, only it is gray.

Anybody have any success with wall hatching for making a handout or presentation style floor plan? I have tried the wall hatching, but it covers the entire wall and I would prefer it only cover the main layer and let brick hatching be what it is. Not only that but it leaves gaps at 3 and 4 way intersections. It would be nice to have control over wall display and hatching in different views which help streamline things. I am also open to a better way to accomplish this. Im sure someone has encountered this before.

Yes.... Fan/Light combos. So that both switches don't report three way.

This is the response from Chief Support. Hi Shane,I have tried to reproduce this condition without any success. While we have not been able to determine how the connections got into this state, I have found a faster solution than replacing all of those connections. I was able to use the marquee select tool to select all of the electrical connections at once, use open object, then click OK. Doing so restored the connections when testing on Mac and PC here. See if that works for you as well.Kind Regards,Brian What he suggested to fix this condition worked BTW.

Me too. And thanks @Chrisb222for the "Tips and tricks file" tip.

Here is the plan that I was having issues with when I made the post. Some of the devices are connected, but most are not. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4bpqkpyasf9xzkn3whi91/260011-24B.plan.zip?rlkey=73f9y4vgdokeuqskxxm9xr6gd&dl=0 Thanks for having a look.

I worked in another one of my plans yesterday and it didn't have any issues. Im going pay more attention to see if I can find what's going on and then report it to chief.
