Hi David, I checked and the files I've downloaded are called calibz files for X6. I couldn't make them work no matter how many times I tried to import them. I would get a successfully imported message but no texture could be seen except for the odd sample. After some time trying to resolve the issue, I found out that other programs on my computer weren't working as they should, so I believe that was the actual problem rather than Chief Architect. I ended up having to uninstall Windows and reinstall it and I'm now in the process of re-importing the manufacturer library and finally having success. Thanks David, but I guess my computer just went kaput and that was the problem. Cheers Coralie

Hi, I downloaded the manufacturer library and none of the textures are working. I've done this twice now as the whole library disappeared so I thought I should redownload them. Nothing is showing up except the name. I imported them as calibz files. What am I doing wrong? Cheers Coralie Just wanted to add that I am using Premier x6.

Thanks mate. That video was a great help. I am keeping it for future reference. Cheers Mate!

Hey HumbleChief! It worked!!!!Yay! Thankyou so much for that video. After several tries i finally got it. I didn't know what terrain regions were and so I fooled around with them as you showed and voila! Here's the link: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=C06FB433C5FEBEB7%21110 Believe it or not I had to rename it as I deleted the old plan and OneDrive wouldn't let me upload it - telling me it was an empty file?????? solution was to rename it. Thanks again. I'm new to all of this. I'm not an architect, I'm just trying to design a house for my sister and I. This will be our first home and we are going to show some designs to our builder in an attempt to cut down on some costs and also let him know what we have in mind. Besides that, it is a lot of fun designing, but I'm having a lot of teething problems as I am entirely self taught and haven't got a clue what I'm doing and am learning the program as I go. I'm sure our builder will set me straight. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, and especially a big thanks to HumbleChief for that awesome video! Cheers!

Hi HumbleChief! I downloaded the video with an extension, and yes, that is how you say my name. Beauty! Okay. Looks great. I will give it a go and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again. cheers!

I would love to watch this video - It looks great - but when I hit the play button, nothing happens. Any ideas on how to make it work? thanks so much.

G'Day. I'm experiencing problems trying to build a terrain for my plan. It is on a gently sloping block, but the only part that slopes is the back right corner, underneath the great room and the walk out basement. The rest of the back yard is mostly flat with a slight dip down to the walk out basement and the front of the block is flat. I have tried all sorts of different ways in setting elevation lines but can't get just this corner to slope down. Can anyone help me with this problem please? Thanks. Here is the link. https://onedrive.liv...433C5FEBEB7!108

Thanks for your help guys. I'll mark this as solved and upload my plan again in a new question regarding terrain. Cheers to all!

Okay, trying jcaffee's suggestion about onedrive. never used it before. Hope this works. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=C06FB433C5FEBEB7%21108

Drats! I thought Kbird1's suggestion would work, bit no luck as a zip file either.

Hi Alaskan_Son - I'm an Australian Daughter! I've been to America, but never to Alaska. It's on my bucket list. Well, when I try to upload via the Advanced Uploader, I get this error message - The Peak.planUpload Skipped (Error302) And when I try to use the basic uploader, I browse first, then attach the plan, but it just keeps spinning and nothing uploads. I don't know where I'm going wrong. If you can help me , that would be great. Cheers!

Hi there. I need help building the terrain in my plan, but I am unable to upload it either by the Advanced Uploader (I have the latest flash Player) or the old method. It is 6.5 mb so way below the size maximum. If someone knows how to attach it, I would really appreciate it, cause I'm stuck on the terrain. cheers.

AHA! That's it. Thank you Thank you Thank you! I know it must be a simple thing to you, but I'm just learning this program and I couldn't figure it out. Thanks again!

Hi Gawdzira and mthd97, I've tried checking the display in 3D and so far it looks like it should be displaying but it still doesn't in practice. I'm using x6. I went to layer set management and checked everything I could find in roofs to display via roofs and 3D framing. I don't think it is my video card as the walls display fine. I can't seem to upload my plan as I keep getting an error: The Peak.planUpload Skipped (Error302) It is under the 25mb as it is 7.5. The basic uploader doesn't work either.

Hello, I'm trying to build a roof using the auto build method. I have checked the box that says build roof planes and auto build in the dialogue box, but nothing is showing in the 3D view. All of the walls are the same height. I'm not sure what the issue is. Can someone help please? Thanks.
