I also played with the wall intersections but did not think that did anything. I will take another crack at it.

Mark, Try setting your railing wall where the blue arrow is ( east side level 2) to "Stop at Floor Below" rather than "Generate Between Platforms" and I think it will be a little happier. Maybe when Glenn takes a look he will know why.

Sorry that hole is not showing in the plan file I downloaded but there is a slight misalignment of the first and second story walls right at that point on both sides of the corner which may be causing issues. Sometimes in a situation like that you can select the wall in 3D and get some idea of which wall is misbehaving by looking at the shape of the wall polyline and carefully editing it. I do not have that brick material in my library but that is not likely the issue.

Running one for you now X9 5400 frames No shadows No Bloom 8:56, X8 5400 frames No Shadows 8:00 My Preferences also list Open GL 4.5 in X8 and 3.3 in X9 The one thing I have not done yet is update my library for X9 because I was waiting to install my new SSD so that is the next thing on my to do list now that my drive seems to be running well. Curious what kind of quality you are getting with x264vfw and have you tried Xvid.

Are you using the same codec in X8 and X9 ?

If Pro has a transform and replicate function you are all set just measure and calculate and then transform. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/videos/

Sounds a bit crazy but can you select a different font ? The more details you can provide the more potential help there will be. System specs, Operating system, Chief Version, Font,

Glenn, I think you just defined a vestigial tool. Although it does have a unique function that could be useful. As Chief now says : In many cases, it is preferable to create a wall type definition rather than use the Hatch Wall tool because multiple fill styles can be used.

You can also change the Text Style for the Layout Box Label layer and you can add macros to the label box but not Symbols unless you want a Global Special Character with the insert function. I do a label kinda like yours with a call out and Layout box macro for scale and then the title is generated by a macro from the Layout Page Information data entry. 3 components that all have to be aligned but it would be great if it could be all one thing.

Yes I absolutely agree Dermot yet your answer does not provide a solution for dimensioning to both sides of the Insulation sub layer that Emma wants to be dimensioned. You usually jump in at just the right time with the best inside information but this time I am not sure you understand the question. I was hoping to also provide a solution but after reading the question carefully I realized that I also experience this more often than I should. Short of getting some snap points from a cad detail and importing some overlaid cad work to snap to or just free handing some cad lines onto the points needing to be dimensioned, I am not sure there is a simple solution to this problem with the current software and it is not just walls that don't work. So if there really is a solution please let us know.

Steve, Go to Deck Railing Specification DBX and Newels/Balusters> Plan Display and deselect Draw Rails. But you also have to go to the Rails tab and make the width automatic. And then it only works in the DBX display and not the plan. Also tried setting the wall line style to blank in the Wall Type DBX but could not get results. Bug ??

Not sure what the issue is as I have not see that before. However I was able to select in 3D view and delete. Hope that gets you going again. Or Scott's method works as you must have had that sink in the other cabinet at some point.

You should be able to just raise the roof plane and extend your overhang and the trusses will fill the space in between. Just remember you or your truss company are responsible for the engineering. Chief will just help you illustrate that.

I have often thought that a 21:9 widescreen would be a good choice as a single screen but not so economical by screen area alone. http://www.lg.com/ca_en/desktop-monitors/lg-38UC99-W

Chief has medical and dental : https://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/793 But you might do better at the 3D warehouse for salon items : https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=salon chair&backendClass=both

You might not be looking at the correct tool because in plan view you do not even have to draw anything and it should be active. Other tools will appear as the options are available. The other thing I found handy when learning the tool bars is a setting in Preferences > Appearance > Toolbars - select "Child Tool Palette"

It would appear as you have Arc Centers and Ends turned on. Turn that off and you should be fine. You will typically find that over on the right side in the Toggle Modes toolbar.

Mark, It looks like you built a double wall. Not the same as Bryan's. But nice reproduction.

Ok it looks like that will work for you at least in 3D.

If you would like to post the plan file I would be glad to take a look and see if I can find a solution.

That looks like a bit of a sticky situation. Have you tried the Edit Wall Layer Intersections tool ?

Hope this helps.

Yes you are on the right track. You can insert any items you like from the Core, Bonus, or Manufacturers Libraries and edit them any way you like and then file them wherever you like in your User Catalog. There is also a video that Michael made where you can assign a toolbar button to a library item for quick access. I will look it up for you. Very good question.

Yes this has been randomly happening to me and I have made CA aware of it but it would be great if you could contact them and send in your plan file to make them more aware and possibly provide more data to help them figure out the problem and prioritize a fix.

I think it is just reporting incorrectly from what I recall from previous discussions but I think it should be an easy fix for Chief that would prevent a lot of questions. If anyone has evidence otherwise or can confirm this it would be much appreciated.
