You should find that Undo's are faster in X9, but it looks like you are running a pretty fast system for Chief. Could be a hard drive issue. What are you running Chief on ?

Sounds like something that should not be happening and you need to contact tech support but just in case you missed something, you could post the plan file and someone will take a look and make sure for you that it is not user error.

Are you sure Rich ? It does not seem to be working for me.

Nice work Glenn. Great to have you on YouTube broadcasting at 1080p and full screen, but we will have to look at your audio settings and clean them up a little. Give me a shout on Skype and we can sort it out.

Yup dere seems to be an issue here. I can't even remember when I viewed "X9 update deleted X8" but it must have been at least a day ago. You might have to catch a night flight up to Coeur d'Alene and get things straightened out or let Dan know.

Very interesting Rich. Did you just now go back and check that thread because it now says you are there. I just assumed that only your own tracking did not work as I have noticed the same problem any time I accidentally open my own profile.

Mick, It seems that all of the items that you have linked to with the exception of the bench assemblies are available through Chief in 3D. Thank you for the direct link but I am curious how you were able to navigate directly to that manufactures Catalogue. This guy has a tendency to pop up when I search.

Chief has a 3D section in their Simpson Manufactures Catalog but maybe not the items you are looking for. Others can be made in Chief or Sketchup or downloaded from the 3D warehouse if someone else has created and posted them. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=simpson strong&backendClass=both Or post your required model numbers and maybe someone here will share theirs.

Very interesting as I have also noticed this and reported it to tech but I am not sure that they are even fully aware of the phenomenon. This is the first I have seen it mentioned on the forum so thank you and I hope that more people can provide input and observations.

Thanks Glenn, I guess that did not work for me because I tried the other way first which took everything off default.

EDIT: See Glenn's response below for best results. Change the settings for one room and then select the room and click the Match Properties tool and select the height and any other properties that you want to change at the same time and then click OK and select the Apply Properties tool and apply to each room by clicking. Or change the default height and open each room DBX and select the new default. There are likely other ways that will work but that should get you where you need to be.

Is this what you are after Alan ?

Yes check this out and download the symbols from the Library : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkD-flpiT6M&list=PL7J4ch5cuz98Ojm8puit9VqTk_W39avaa&index=35

Not quite sure if this is new or not but when I lock the Bottom of my rafters and change the depth they do not stay locked and pop up just enough to be annoying. Has anyone else noticed this behavior or have a solution other than measuring how much it has moved and transforming it back down.

You are quite welcome and that is what this forum is all about. If you read from the beginning of the linked thread you will notice that I started out with essentially your problem and decided to share the solution once I figured it out with the help of others. Chief can do a lot of things that are not always obvious.

Thanks for that information Joe. Here is a link to my tutorial for placing lights into doors that chief does not allow them automatically if that is required, without starting from scratch to build a paneled door. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/9475-custom-door-symbol/?do=findComment&comment=83041

So you want to add lights to an E15. Is that correct ?

Sounds like tech support needs a call :

Tony, Not sure if you saw this thread but if no one comes through for you with a pattern file, you may have to create the pattern manually as Rich has illustrated here :https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/13951-changing-floor-pattern-directions/?do=findComment&comment=119270

Woops.... That seems like a bit of an oversight.

Mick, I think what Creeter is asking for if I am interpreting correctly is to have control to edit and print the temporary extension numbers. I am not aware there is a way to do this other than a manual text box that is overlaid. The only auto function that seems to be available at that location is a center line marker. If I am correct then this would be a good suggestion for that forum.

I think you are going to get the best results with a 3D molding polyline as it will be the same colour inside and out or even a polyline solid would work the same way. Unfortunately the muntins and custom muntins in Chief are controlled by the sash colour and it can not be deleted without eliminating the glass. There is more work to be done on windows. Here is a test plan in X8 with some custom muntins so you can see the issues with that and also a diagonal 3D molding polyline so you can see how that would work for you. Lead Muntins.plan

In that case you need the vector lines but the render also looks great. Why not send them both to layout and see what happens when they are overlaid.
