Post the plan for a better answer, but if you select those lines, what layer are they on?

If the label layer is locked you lose the handle.

Post the plan for a more educated answer, but I'm guessing your fixtures are attaching to a ceiling plane above.

Unless you're a relatively advanced user with some pretty specific reasons for doing otherwise, I'd say you should only ever need the one "Default Set" Layer Set and that your Current CAD Layer should be set to "CAD, Default".

Sounds to me like you either inadvertently changed your Current CAD Layer (CAD>Current CAD Layer) so that those items were being imported onto that layer, or that you inadvertently moved your objects to that layer after the fact. Check what your Current CAD Layer is. You can also move the items to another layer after the fact by clicking on their Line Style tab and changing the Layer there.

This is the correct answer^^^^ You can however export as a 3D symbol or as a 2D DWG that can be imported and used as a reference.

In case you’re unaware, you can actually just select the stretch plane in the preview and relocate it by dragging it.

Also, you’ll need some actual columns activated.

Did you try setting the room to Shelf Ceiling?

If you purchase HatchKit, you can easily create the pattern right in Chief, export as DXF, Import into HatchKit, Save the new Pattern using HatchKit, and then import that Pattern/Fill into Chief.

I use HatchKit https://hatchkit.com.au

Yes. Just shoot me over an email to alaskansons@gmail.com and we can discuss further.

Not pretending to know the best overall approach, but if you find the plants you want to use, you can add the following method to your toolbag of potential solutions... You can open the desired Plant Image File in a photo editor, rotate the image, and then use that new image. You just need to: Find your desired plant Open the Plant Image Specification dialog box Find where the Image File is located on your computer Open that file Edit the image to rotate as desired Save As a new PNG file Use that new PNG file for your Image File In Windows, the main keys are that you have to: A. Open the zipped folder before you can access the image file B. Paste the image file name by adding a \ instead of #zip: Example: Full Image File Name ----> C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\CorePlantFiles.zip#zip:Clematis ternifolia2.png First paste this into the Windows Explorer Address Bar ----> C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\CorePlantFiles.zip Once that folder is opened, add a backslash and paste the file name in after it, like this ----> C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X13\Referenced Files\CorePlantFiles.zip\Clematis ternifolia2.png

You should absolutely report it yourself if you want to see it fixed.

What did Technical Support tell you?

Many possible solutions, but these are the 2 that seem most fitting... Option 1: Place an actual carriage return in the label itself... %(rough_opening_side*2)+width% x % rough_opening_bottom+rough_opening_top+height% RO %automatic_label% Option 2: Insert the new line using Ruby code in a text macro... %(rough_opening_side*2)+width% x % rough_opening_bottom+rough_opening_top+height% RO%"\n"%%automatic_label%

This is typically what I do as well. Save your parts and pieces as an architectural block in your library, or (even better) in a building blocks plan so you quickly access for re-use later.

Open Symbol>Options

Use the Reference Display along with a layer set that displays only the stairs.

A few notes on this subject: In X13, they made it super easy to change these blocks. Simply select your symbol and click on the Edit CAD Block tool right there in your Edit toolbar. That text may or may not be set to be controlled By Layer, so sometimes you can simply change the Layer text Style. You would have to figure out which layer is controlling the text though. Bonus Tip: Chief also added a Change to GFCI/Change to 110V Outlet tool to the Edit toolbar so you can quickly change the outlet type.

A bay window actually CAN be placed on an interior wall so long as its initially placed when the wall is an exterior wall. Prior to X13, the casing had to stay separated and same goes for normal windows. In X13 we have some new options. The only "bug" seems to be that the bay/box windows are initially set to be interior windows.

Its less about the time it takes to create page numbers manually and more about the time it takes to update those page numbers when pages are added, deleted, or re-ordered.

I think it’s because you are opening it in a non-Adobe product. From what I’ve been able to gather, it seems like it’s mostly (if not only) a problem with Adobe software.

I already did. It works just fine. Maybe check your Material Painter mode.

No. We have no access to the page number information; otherwise, yes, that would be the logical approach.
