Chief has never handled track mounted garage doors correctly. The plan view has always been for the solid one piece door with the dooor in the closed position between the Jambs, not behing them. I sent in a suggestion about this about 4-5 years ago but I don't recall any response. I fake it by using a Doorway smaller that the actual garage door Invisible no-room definition wall inside the exterior wall then place the garage door in that invisible wall IOW the opening in the exterior wall is what's going to be built and the garage door is inserted in the invisible wall which is inside the garage. The tracks will then be basically inside the garage, not within the opening in the exterior wall. For rollup doors I use the same method.

Default sets include layersets. That should handle everything.

Do a library search for Engineered floor Joists & Trusses. There's a couple of Steel Web Trusses and a Wood Web Floor Truss that are top chord bearing. They're just CAD Blocks but they can be superimposed on cross sections.

FWIW, X10 is 8 years old and most users here are on X17. I think in X10 you would probably need to use manually created pie shaped landings to emulate the winders. You will need to adjust each landing's top elevation & thickness to get them all to connect with the stair sections As Jason said, questions and requests for assistance should be posted in the Q&A Forum.

Click menu (3 dots) upper right on original post and then report. Then ask that it be moved to the Q&A Forum. I've already don that so it will be moved soon.

As a former California Hospital Architect, you need to: Make sure you are licensed to do this work Check with the Michigan and local codes for: occupancy class fire resistive requirements. Hospitals require much more stringent codes than other structures and I'm pretty sure anything built on or attached will have to conform to those codes. The may be additional state Hospital licensing codes & review. That is definitely true in California - I don't know about Michigan.

What prompts did you use? I do notice some differences in the shingles and you specifice board an batt siding which wasn't my choice. BTW, the little pine trees planted that close to the structure is a really bad idea. They will grow and create all kinds of problems.

That cabin was done in X4 and I no longer have the plan. However, I will go back to the original rendering and try some material options. I don't have the time right now but I can do it in a couple of days.

I've made a suggestion several versions back that wood grain textures should orient according to the longer dimension of the object - or at least have that as on option. It should be available since there are a lot of condititions where it would apply.

It's most likely a problem with the text style for that layer. Check to see if the text color for that layer is "white"

Ok, so I tried ChatGPT with my A-Frame Cabin. Keep Architecture, Encance materials and Landscaping Add a few people on deck, change vehicle to a Mercedes GLK It's pretty amazing what a few simple instructions can do.

Does anyone have a wire glass material ?

Scale: %box_scale.delete(' ').gsub('=',' = ').gsub('ft','\'').gsub('in','"')%-0"

Anyone have a symbol for this? I probably just need the diffuser/lens material. It's a pretty simple 3D shape.

Use "Saved Plan Views" so all Defaults & Layersets are specific to that view. Then send those to Layout on different pages.

I have Layout Templates for: Letter - 8.5x11 Arch B - 12x18 Arch C - 18x24 Arch D - 24x36 Arch D2 - 24x42 Arch E - 36x48 Arch E1 - 30x42 Arch E2 - 30x48 Some of those are my own custom sizes. I keep them all up to date with my layout macros and borders. They all use the same Default Sets and Layer Sets. In addition, I use similar sized Plan sizes with a (Sheet Boundary & identical rectangle) and a Drawing Area rectangle. This allow me to send to layout so that all floor plans are in the same location on each page of my Layout. This is just my way of keeping everything organized the way I like it.

Build > Distributed Objects > Polyline Distribution Path.

Maybe a "Distribution Line" ? The light fixture would need to be "ceiling mounted". I think that woul work.

I find it easier to set the floor elevation for the room above. That will lower the ceilings below that room. IOW, work from the top down. Also, if you can do this in a 3D view it will be easier to see what's happening,

IMO the lack of : a "Grapic Repeat Patter" in Chief's linestyles start & end terminators is a major shortcoming of Chief's CAD tools.

Corner Board Tool

I consult with my clients and use what they want. Most of my projects are custom homes, not remodels. It's not in suggestions because I sent it to Chief via email. The respose I received is in red in the 1st post.

There's only one Plumbing Fixture Catalog that I know of in Chief - Kohler. Within that catalog are many Toilets, Urinals and wall mounted Sinks. For proper clearances (particularly for ADA, but also in general) there are standards for back, side and front clearances to walls, partitions & cabinets. back - 1" for floor mounted (Tank should be clear of the finished wall) each side - ((30"-width)/2) ---- 15" from centerline of fixture front to any wall, cabinet or door 24" for toilets 48" for urinals 21" for sinks In order for any/all of these fixtures to be properly placed with those clearances it's necessary to have the Bounding Box Offsets set to those values. OOB, all such fixtures are set to zero which means they can be placed right up a wall, cabinet, partition, door, etc. Chief's policy is: that it will not be distributing objects with bounding boxes that account for non-functional placement clearances. IMO, these clearances aren't "non-functional" and since we can't modify things in any library except the "User Library" we would have to copy: to our User Library make the adjustments there. unfortunately, there's no group modification of library objects so it would need to be done individually which could take may hours. If Chief adds any additional Plumbing Fixtures Catalogs American Standard Glacier Bay TOTO Gerber Bemis etc in the future we will probably be faced with the same problem.

Just open that "Dimensions" item and you'll get to select any of the dimension type defaults and then "Setup Temporary"

It probably doesn't have the correct front and back bounding box offsets. If you use a manufacturer's (Kohler, etc) all of those are in the library as 0. You would need to copy to your user library or just edit in the plan.
