That should work even if you don't have a floor. Did the instructions make sense? If all else fails open the Symbol DBX and on the General tab Origin Offset adjust the "Z Position".

Try opening the light symbol DBX and under Options > Placement, Choose "Floor Mounted" then go back to the object DBX under the General tab and set the Position > "Offset From Floor". That should solve the issue.

I suppose in theory you could use a room molding polyline for eaves trough if all the fascais are at the same level and overhang. You need to have interior room definition to have an exterior room. If rooms are turned on you should be able to select it within a foot or two of the exterior wall. I will check your file if I get a moment later.

You could also use two cylinders and the Solid Subtraction tool but Polyline solids will give you more control for what you need to do.

Yes no problem, start with two simple cad circles of the correct size and positioning and convert both to Polyline Solids and Set the inner one to be the "Hole in Polyline Solid"

Or am I supposed to be looking at the bulkhead with the vent over it ?

You need to build 3 rings - No problem. What is the shape of the bottom of them ? Is there a molding or is it flat ? If if is flat then Psolids will work, if not it will be more involved.

Is there a profile in the bottom surface of that Aamir ? Not sure it can be done with the profile and the offset of center hole in Chief. But you should be able to come close if you are willing to give up on of the two.

Please document as carefully as you can and send in to tech support as they are aware of this problem but are having issues reproducing and fixing it and they need to know it is happening to other people. As I indicated above this is complicated as you really don't want chief to delete all of your edits automatically when you go to print without any option to preserve all that extra work you have done. Ideally it should all be able to be detailed live but we are not there yet.

Place an air gap in your floor layer definition and it will bring that wall down to cover. Same situation as a seasonal structure on piers that has the floor sitting on beams that you want to cover.

I guess windows does not consider it to be an issue. Must be a low percentage of Mac users switching back to windows. Nothing that I am aware of in Chief or the current version of windows 10. Hopefully someone knows a hack or maybe 3rd party app that can do it for you.

You would need to recreate the door symbol and use separate materials for the panel and glass. If you want to post a small sample plan file with that cabinet in it I could give it a try. Also what version of software you are using.

No need to make a symbol or even a cad detail. You can keep it live if you make a new layerset for the scale to switch notes etc. You can send as many versions as you like that way or exploded details that are live. Crop with layout box.

They moved that to a more logical place. Plan Defaults > Framing > Plan Display. If you run into any other issues post the link to the old instructions you are following and we can help update them for you.

I have had some success converting scanned PDF's into PNG files and importing into chief which improves the quality and somehow chief seems to be able to handle the files better.

You can rescale when you send to layout or if it is just one page you need to print go to File > Print > Drawing Sheet Setup.. to change the scale when printing from plan view. At least that is how it works in Premier. You can get more specific answers for HD on their forum : https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

Reduce your Electrical Layer Line weight. Default is 25 I think. Try something like 6 or 10 but make sure it is still ok in your plan as it will effect that too unfortunately. Add columns by opening the Schedule DBX.

Select Cabinet at location of sink > Hit tab to select sink > Move Sink > Works in 2D and 3D

Yes. Thank You. See Above for edit.

Craig, Try importing this into Chief and you should be able to snap you walls to it or maybe even use cad to walls. I see even the outlets are located. The trick will be exploding the cad blocks first. Let us know how it goes. Would love to know what kind of accuracy you are able to achieve. EDIT: I was going from memory and thought it was an orientation issue that was causing the issues. Please disregard the file I posted if you down loaded it. It worked in AutoCAD but not Chief.

Are you using Structure Sensor ? If so there was a discussion about it not long ago here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17107-x9-dwg-import/?do=findComment&comment=150601

I would like to talk to that person...

Will it clear itself if you update just that view ?

I don't think Update All Views is supposed to update your elevations and until all the other problems with the software are resolved I think it should stay that way despite it being labeled incorrectly. However what you are seeing there may be a different issue all together. I am still having issues with doors and other similar items not generating their profile lines correctly and your AC unit may be a similar situation. Possibly to make it clearer Update All View should do just that and then an override for each layout box could be activated to lock the view if necessary. This would turn on automatically if the edit layout lines tool was used.
