Must reset toolbars in Preferences occasionally to get my extended toolbar configuration back.

It always comes back but somewhat of a hassle.

My plans are setting on iCloud and was wondering if that could be an issue.

X14 seems not to do this but X15 does at times.

Computer info attached

Thanks

Anyone gone to the new M2 chip MacBooks and what are your comments

Has any one upgraded to this version and things are ok

I’ve been using a M510 but after several upgrades seems to get lost at times

What is the best mouse for Imac

I have a AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB but it does not run X13 in certain instances. Im looking for an iMac user that has a GPU that runs X13 so if I decide to buy another Apple Product I can run X13 totally. I wish Apple could change the graphics card out but no way have to buy another computer. Please let me know who has an iMac or Apple product that they are happy with thanks.

Running on a iMac that X13 says the video card is ok. X12 runs perfectly but there is a latency when I run X13 as in I try to edit an object and I can get the mouse twirling. Not on X12. I also have my plans in iCloud and was thinking that could be a potential problem but X12 runs perfectly. Any suggestions would be appreciated .

I have been using X13 now for about a month coming from X12. X12 has never had a speed problem but X13 does. Even if I just open an object. I also have a Mac Book Pro that cannot be used to open any view but the 2D runs great. Not on my iMac even 2D stuff can spin. 

Looking for suggestions

Thanks

I have been running X12 and never have an issue with the tool bars hot keys or screen display. When I run X13 it starts out ok but eventually I lose my toolbar and even have trouble moving say the Active Layer Display from the right to the left on my screen. I have an iMac and it is up to date on software. I have to get out of Chief X13 and reboot and start again but eventually I will be doing this again to gain control.

It is possible to change first floor heights after a 2nd floor is built.

 

Looking at your image (probably better to turn off wall framing) it looks like the 2nd floor bath is lower than the surrounding rooms. Is this the problem you are asking about?

Yes but the floor height of the floor bath is determined by the first floor ceiling height It needs to frame correctly 

When building a second story I start out with a blank floor plan. 

I do reference the first floor but the second floor can never be exactly lined up for it is totally different floor plan.

But once I build the second floor I cannot change the floor heights on the first floor that is a given.

So how does one when framing get the second floor to frame properly and not have floor joists lower than the rest of the 2nd floor lever for I am building over a first floor that is 9' and 10'.

Thanks?

Every time I build a 2 story I have to place a down flow heater for I cannot get heat and air to the portion of the home covered by the second story.

Of course this is more expensive for it requires an Heat and Air ground job.

Is there a way to design a 2 story without needing a down flow?

Thanks

Yes...I have the same problem.  I think Logitech is aware...but the solution might be a new mouse.  

The problem was fixed once I remove the Logi Options Daemon and then added it back in. I had tried to unlock and check and then check it back in but could not uncheck it so I removed it added it back in from Finder and it started working. Rebooted my Mac and it is still working.

I upgraded my MAC to Catalina 15.5.1 and my logitech mouse works with the exception of scrolling. I have a logitech M510 and it has worked for several years and works today except for the scrolling function.

Any one else encounter this problem.

Need suggestions on transitioning from brick to siding and of course the walls are not the same width how does one make that transition.

Have included a picture of this in this post.

When creating a layout on my Mac Chief Premier X11 and printing out to my HP T120 plotter all is great if I only do black and white.

If I try to print it out in color even though it previews correctly the view port prints out black.

I have sent to the letter size printer and it does the same thing.

Like I said it previews exactly like it should either in black and white or color but prints the view port in black.

So as a workaround I edited the view port to show just the elevation and it works.

Just know I have set something wrong but need help.

Thanks

I need to keep the second story floor level the same even though part of it is over a 9 foot ceiling for most is over a 10 foot ceiling.

In this plan Bed 2 will drop down to meet the ceiling height of the first floor kitchen.

But that leaves it down relative to the rest of the 2nd story floor.

If I put the 2nd floor back to where it matches then the kitchen will change also.

I am running Chief X10 and have been trying to get a roof on this plan and have except for the front elevation. I would like to get some ideas on how to make a craftsman look on the front but any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am looking for a new plotter and would like to do wifi.

The HP T120 and T520 are a couple that I have considered.

Just putting out this post to get some feedback.

Thanks!

I have looked thru the Preferences and Default settings and cannot seem to locate a setting to show the Start and End Indicators on a line etc.

I guess it still exists?

I have noticed that when Chief runs a video that the mouse pointer has a yellow highlight

I would like to know how to get that pointer or any others that have been used to present plans as to prospective customers.

I do use Zoomit now but was curious.

Building a community pool and want to drop the pool equipment room floor 6".

The best way I guess would be to set it up as a garage  and then go to floor defaults and set finish floor for garage to what ever level I need?

I know a builder that does this type of footer and slab foundations.

My problem not ever having done one is can the finish floor be raised other than padding the lot higher.

in other words does the subcontractor have room to raise the finish floor when he pours the footers etc using this type of foundation.

I want to download the official CUTEPDF that some are using to plot out their plans.

Can someone give me the official link?

Ever since Chief X6 when I just do 2D roof plane connections all seems the same as it was in X5.

If I have a 3D open watching how it is going together then Chief does slow down.

This was not present in X5 and I thought maybe someone had an idea.
