  1. I think the question is do we still need to suppress one label and edit the other when using multi ply lintels to get a proper label. I seem to have to do that quite often.
  2. Thanks for the heads up Diane, Could you possibly let us know which windows 10 update you got and which version of Chief it is affecting. Also could be your video drive as microsoft seems to think they are in charge of that also.
  3. So that sounds really bad Eric, Is it ok after rebooting or a total failure ? Was it just a complication of having Chief open while loading the new driver ?
  4. It might be possible to zip it and get it under 25 MB or upload to cloud service and post link.
  5. Ben that is quite reproducible and it would not hurt to send that in as it is not consistent.
  6. Do you have your Sun Angle set in Preferences with your Time Zone ? Maybe the sun went down....
  7. Ken, don't you already have one of these ?
  8. Well, what rendering technique is that Eric ? Are you new here ? Looks like you need to upgrade your signature of all people.
  9. I believe the Public Beta Bug reports are handled by tech support and they will forward them for you. You can also post the plan file here with a saved camera and someone knowledgeable may have an answer for you or be experiencing the same problem and you can discuss.
  10. Thanks Joe, I will look into that if I have a moment.

    Did you find this thread ?
  12. Yea, well each to their own but personally I do like it except that it clashes with my desktop and I like it more so I made a new Icon for Chief and learned how to do it properly this time so no real loss either way.
  13. If there is anyone else that likes the new X10 icon as much as I do here is another option. Also if you want to keep it in place as you get future updates just change the name a little as it is too long anyway. CA X10 .ico
  14. Not really sure as it seems to work fine for me in X9 with a standard or library window just fine. Are you using a manufactures window ?
  15. I am not so sure you will find any standards on this sort of thing other than local regulations for frost wall depth and height above grade for surface water infiltration. There are many many other factors you will need to consider, such as soil conditions, water table, drainage, site grading, window placement, access, and the clients intended use of the space. It will also depend on where you are building, such as a flood plane, side of a mountain, or a swamp. If you study some of the existing buildings in the area and understand why they were built the way they were, that would be a good start.
  16. Use the Prairie style and adjust the lights.
  17. I assume these are custom user library doors that you have built or saved . Go to your library item or folder and right click to export and then import by going to the Library tab in the main toolbar at the very top of your screen.
  18. I have not looked at the plan yet but for something like that to happen there must be a gap in the roof planes.
  19. Angela, Please see the link I posted for Emma in post #4
  20. So then does it suggest which unit is corrupted and does my example fit the same scientific notation formula ? If I have the math correct my example would work out to 790" or 65.8333' so is it rounding off at some point ? I assume you sent a plan file in to tech support and it worked fine for them ? Indicating the issue is in Preferences.
  21. Glenn, Sorry to hear you have not been able to resolve this issue. Is it happening in a fresh plan or default template or plans brought forward ? Can you figure out if the mathematical relationship makes any sens like my issue did. Maybe a Meter measurement using Millimeter units ?
  22. Here is Yusuf's video using 3D Molding Polylines and Faces for a Wireframe Modeling Technique. This is essentially how everything in chief is built anyway so this is an absolute core function that has tremendous flexibility and potential. This can be done accurately and quickly once you get the hang of it. Many thanks to : @yusuf-333
  23. Yusuf has an interesting method that would work well for that and chimney caps using faces. I will look for the video when I have a chance.
  24. That should work for anything new you draw but will not change something existing. Is that what happened ?
