  1. Hey gents, I tried both, of course I had to change the defaults, but that's ok. I will update my default temp-plate as well. And as mentioned, the PTP does leave parkers (I hate markers TBH), plus they don't move with a change. I did use the ETE and I'm good with it. Thanks Eric, Thanks Dermont. See two others besides me here on a late Sunday night. :-) Curious though, when do you use a PTP dimension? Thinking about it, I've never had used it. I've always used the ETE and hold the control button down when I need something not vert or horiz.
  2. Ok.. burning the candle on both ends as of late, so I need a refresher. I cannot figure out how to set the dimensions to measure the countertop width. I have gone through and updated the default dimension settings at "Locate Manual", "Locate End to End" all of them, and checked countertop. My obvious fix is to draw a line and dimension to that.. which I do not want to do. I know one of you guys have it on the top of your head. Its always the little things... Spring has sprung here in sunny Florida!
  3. Curious.. what would a dormer on a flat roof look like?
  4. Are you using Chief Premier? Just type in ADA in your library browser, you will get a everything you need to do this bathroom.
  5. The ICF walls have a built in brick ledge
  6. I've never seen one specifically. But I would just do a molding and lay it against the existing exterior foam, to get that ledge. Use this method, just model a molding p-line https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00070/adding-a-belly-band-to-a-structure.html
  7. Im thinking mine would look like that after a couple of days with these 3 hairy dogs always around, but that EVGA Chopped linked was cool. Hey Rob, you liking that new Alien? I didn't buy one last year because delivery was way out there and I thought we would have been while I was out of town...
  8. Heck your right in the hood where Chief is headquartered I think... "Coeur d'Alene, ID", so if you drink the water, it will come natural to you. Looks good and the cranking the Van Halen adds some attitude.. love that song. Good luck...
  9. Your fans are probably kicking in...
  10. Hi Glenn, Yes sir, this is what I did. Your talking rotate with this "grip" or whatever its called.. right? (circled in red)
  11. Thanks Perry.. Beta for 14 is taking apps, maybe it will be in the new version.
  12. How do I get my NOTE balloons to rotate with the plan, when "rotate with plan" is checked and still not working.
  13. Its easier to do this in Twinmotion.. I had a similar request last year.
  14. I use a molding on the top.. like a belly band, but a brick profile. Then I don't have to mess with any setting.
  15. Sometimes its the obvious things.. geez! Thanks Mark. That second floor was added after the fact.. so I must have missed something
  16. follow up, still a issue, but getting worse. As I move the railing out to adjust for size.. the hole gets bigger.
  17. got it.. a dumb cupola was taking a big chuck of the size. go figure! 951192931_RAILINGISSUE.plan
  18. Working a small addition above a carport to a small bungalow. The deck that will connect to stairs is causing me fits. Don't know why either. I've done a hundred of these things, but this is the first time the railing goes all the way through the exterior wall. Any ideas on how to correct? Side note, I am trying to attach plan but its says its too big.. ?? Even compressed and zipped. Nothing to this model either, since its a addon, just the shell of the existing house. Is there a step I am missing to reduce the size? No furniture, plants, fixtures so scratching my head on this.
  19. a cad block is the key. I had drawn the new muntin's.. but forgot to covert to a cad block. Once I did, the icon popped up.
  20. I get this every once in a while.. I just tab through it until it gets what I need. Something to do with molding like a belly band I believe..
  21. Never mind, I found it as soon as I hit send..
  22. Needing to do some custom muntin's, and found the how to, but not finding the "Load Muntins" button.. any ideas on where this is hidden?
  23. Hmm.. I can't answer your question. But do have one for you, which website are you building your new PC? I's like to check it out as well. This Alien is tapped out.
