You may want to wear your safety glasses just in case your monitor is about to blow Scott.

I am not so sure you are alone in this one Alan. Sometimes I get so disoriented that I wish I could just turn off all the automatic adjustments so that it would be the same as zooming in and out on a PDF. I am not sure anyone really wants to zoom in to check a detail only to have the dimension to cover it up as you get close enough to see it. And yes dimensions can be turned off but sometimes you actually need them. I am sure there are many who don't even understand what is going on.

There is one in the Bonus Library of Wine Cellar Items>Accessories.

Yes that is what I have as well and wish there was even more control but 0 seems to be the limit.

Perry, I just tested to CLOUD using Chrome and everything seems ok. I hate Edge but it should work.

Seems to be working for me Perry. Are you sending to Cloud or Disk?

Alan, I believe it is in Preferences>Appearance and I have all three settings at 0 pixels but I wish they would go to something "-" to give more control.

Yes CA runs best on a high performance gaming system and if you want to use a laptop for production drawing and 3D client presentations you will be spending a lot of money. However if you just want to run the software and don't get impatient with that annoying little blue circle all the time I have X8 on an old 4GB laptop with an integrated video card and it runs and I occasionally use it to start a cad file on site but you can pretty much forget about the 3D rendering. There are lots of threads on this subject that you can search for but DRAWZILLA updated his system not long ago and seems to be quite happy with it still and ComputerMaster86 is in process of building a new rig. I just replaced a 2GB video card that blew up with a 1070 and it seems to make everything just a little snappier but I would have been happy with the other card for a few more years if it had not blown up.

So then they are not duplicates, they are components and need to have "Include in schedule" deselected. Two in front of Living Room and two in back. Thanks Michael.

Mike, They are duplicates of the Double Arch tops in the back side of the "Existing Living Room" that you mulled. Interesting that the callout does not show up until you tab to select the window though, that does seem a little strange. Have a great weekend

I am not suggesting that this is the same style but you could try this one in Sketchup's 3D Warehouse or search a little more but there are some repetitive features that I see and theoretically you could build one in Chief but it would take some time. The benefit would be you get exactly what you want. Any way to install such a feature I think a symbol would be best. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/7f4e7a8cc39921ee35b3d63776480dcf/European-Faux-Balcony-8-offset https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=balcony rail&backendClass=both Maybe someone has one they would share ?

Thank you Taylor for setting us all straight, but since we are on the subject there is a Titan Xp model by NVidia that is 12 GB GDDRX5 and not that I am recommending it because my 1070 seems to be more than adequate but if you have $2400.00 you can order a limit of two of these: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/titan-xp/

Processor clock speed seems to be more important than the number of cores with Chief until it comes to Ray tracing an then you can't have enough cores. You have to have a high budget or lots of patience when it comes to Ray tracing in Chief.

Not sure if this is a good solution or not but have you tried creating a new symbol from the old one to see if it changes the display. Not that there is any way to put the new symbol back into the bonus catalog but a good test maybe.

Lew, What are you running for video card (s) ???

Yup you are correct, I don't always do them all but the non typicals are sure nice.

Nice to see someone that does header labels on wall details like I do, Not much chance of error that way.

Check in File > Print > Drawing Sheet Setup of each layout file and see if Advanced Line Weight Options are set the same.

Seems to work fine for me with pdf or jpg. What version are you using?

Not a floor truss expert but you may be able to achieve this by editing after your copy and paste by keeping the Envelope locked and just open and close the DBX to get the truss to take on your modifications. Post your plan and I will see if it works for your situation.

Here is the CA way : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00797/creating-a-soldier-course.html And my simplified procedure that I came up with before seeing the support article that essentially producs the same result : https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/9302-historic-brick-firehouse-rhode-island/?do=findComment&comment=81616

I am about to run a full blown scientific investigation into the discrepancies between Chief and MiTek truss dimensions and I have a hypothesis but if someone already has this all figured out and could provide the summary conclusion or would like to discuss with me it would be much appreciated. Just trying to finalize a huge truss order. Not as large as Shane's but big by my standards.

I have been having lots of undocumentable issues, so if there is something that is easily reproducible please make sure tech is aware because they are working on the issues as they are identified. I have also recently resuggested the idea of having undos documented for analysis by tech an use everyday by us as in GIMP.

I have not used it yet but there is a "Snap to Active CAD Point" option when you export. I think that is what it is for. OR Not ?

Johnny are you wanting to align things on the same page or have each page the same alignment ?
