    Amazing that Wendy and Scott didn't know about it.
  2. Joe_Carrick
    Yep, I've been using it for as long as I can remember. It's great for a lot of things such as CAD Masks, etc.
  3. Joe_Carrick
    This would be a good suggestion.
  4. Joe_Carrick
    But it's not mandatory that you use the "Default Plan". You can import the defaults from any existing plan to the current plan.
  5. Joe_Carrick
    Johnny, If you copy your Default Plan to the new computer, it will have the Defaults. "Import Defaults" simply imports the Defaults from an existing Plan to the current Plan. btw, if you hover the cursor over a menu item and press F1 it will bring up the help for that menu item.

    Did you purchase SSA? If so, you just click on the Library > Get Additional Content Online

    Looks to me like a first floor Roof Soffit or Shadow Board or Gutter, etc. IAE. Post the Plan!!!!!!
  8. Joe_Carrick
    No, but this has been repeatedly asked for as an enhancement to Chief.

    Mike, I've done that Barrel Sauna previously in Chief basically the same way Rich did. It's not going to use Chief Walls, Doors & Windows. Since you know how to use SketchUp, you might want to consider doing it in SU and just importing it into Chief as a Symbol.

    Turn on the Wall Labels Layer. Also make sure that you have the Wall Label defined in the dbx

    Something like this? But of course the better solution would be with consistent riser heights and varied tread depths.

    Just a CAD Box with Fill (solid or xhatch) - and maybe a hole.
  13. Joe_Carrick
    Scott's right. You can specify a pattern/fill for cabinets, countertops and some other items, but those only works in Plan View. For those things I generally use a "Mask" in Sections.
  14. Joe_Carrick
    Auto Detail should do this, based on the pattern (not texture) specified for the material.
  15. Joe_Carrick
    Are you looking at Interior Dimensions or Temporary Dimensions? There are separate Defaults for both.
  16. Joe_Carrick
    Buzz, That's not true. You just need to pick the one that applies.

    The danger in resetting the toolbars is that you will lose any customization. In my case that's a disaster.
  18. Joe_Carrick
    Most likely, the Edit Toolbar got moved. Right Click on the Object. A context menu will appear, but the Edit Toolbar should also appear someplace. Grab it by it's handle (a little line of dots) and drag it down to dock it at the bottom of the screen.

    Zip it. -or- put it on Dropbox and Share / Send a Link

    Johnny, See post #2 for the graphics and post #4 for the annotation.

    Just to clarify what Joey said: It's in the "Global>Room Info" section of the macro selection.
  23. Joe_Carrick
    macros can be inserted into the room label to show finish material
  24. Joe_Carrick
    I use the Room Polyline or a Floor Material Region. It depends on the job, but either of these will work.
  25. Joe_Carrick
    It makes it look correct in the Plan View.
