  1. Is it not centered on the window by default? And then you would just indent the shorter line if you do not want it justified left. I think this can be addressed with a macro and then Michael and Joe just jumped me so I will leave you in their care.
  2. Sorry it seems to be a common problem with NVIDIA and I am not sure what the ultimate solution is but it has been discussed many times before here on the forum if you want to try searching some more back through the history. Not sure if it is better or not but AMD does not seem to give options and just assumes it is superior and takes control. Tech is still open if you have SSA.
  3. NVIDIA has settings within their control panel. Right click on desktop to find it.
  4. Yes, the same theory holds true for that situation. Make sure that the 9 1/4" box is not highlighted and click once below the layer indicator arrow on the layer illustration. And yes it would be nice to be able to reorganize a multi layer setup but just to be able to build it the way you want should help.
  5. I just noticed that this seems to have come up again in another thread on the forum, so hoping this helps to clarify the current situation.
  6. Scott, I have also been getting that warning recently with the Windows 10 players. It may not be related to OBS so try to reboot your machine and if that does not work send me your Skype name and we can check your settings over. Also check to see if you can play with Windows Media Player as that usually works for me but ultimately you want your videos to play on whatever player your client wants to play it on.
  7. Default Settings > CAD > General Cad
  8. Well that was easy. Settings > Privacy > Microphone > Choose Apps that can use your Microphone > Turn on for applicable app. Not quit sure how that got turned off but it works now.
  9. CA Core Catalog. Single Basin Laundry Sink.
  10. Scott, If you figure out the problem with your mic please let me know because I think I have a related problem that my mic works on my PC in Windows 10 with Voice Recorder but for some reason quit working on my laptop the other day with the same setup but also works in both situations with other apps. If you are looking for a great free screen recorder to get you back up and running, I am using OBS Studio and love it. https://obsproject.com/ I can get you up and running with settings for 1080p if you like, just let me know.
  11. Save the whole plan file as a template plan. It will be there every time you open the template ready for modification.
  12. Here is some work that Rich did likely using the same technique as Warren. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/10348-false-ceiling-design/#comment-91269 You may have to experiment with an emissive material on the bar top. Or try out this custom fixture and inset it into the Bar top and it may help you get started. You may need to adjust the Attenuation depending on the other light sources. Bar Top Light.calibz
  13. You are both quite welcome as I think I struggled with that for quite a while until it came up on the forum.
  14. Did you try this? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/12083-3d-camera-views-go-into-orbit-how-to-stop/#comment-103694
  15. This can be fixed by a setting in Preferences.
  16. Here is a video that was done in another program that I felt could be done in Chief Architect even better and is along the lines of what you are asking maybe. This would require supplementary editing software but nothing very complex.
  17. I am unable to check on my computer right now but the "Eldorado Stone" catalogue has a reasonable selection of brick samples.
  18. Yes, I believe that is correct and often is very confusing for users. If the camera view is open then the camera will display even if the layer is turned off.
  19. Do you have the camera view open?
  20. I noticed that a while ago but it seems to be highly unpredictable at least for me using "Edge". It may be something Dan needs to look at when he get caught up. It seems to work about 40% of the time for me but you can get 6 or more in a row and then nothing for 10 tries.
  21. Amaliya, It would be best to copy this and repost in the Q & A forum with some more information on you settings and number of passes that you have used, just to keep things organized for others. Then delete this copy. Thanks, Chopsaw
  22. No need to spend hours drawing over top this time, as it does work in X7. And there is no topo without elevation values, just lines. I have seen before that this does work however with elevation points I have never had any issues that could not be solved.
  23. Ok, Something strange is going on here and I could use a little help if anyone else cares to test this. I have solved the OP's initial problem by importing the .dwg file into X7 and and the "Convert lines with shared endpoints into: ( Polylines ) " seems to have worked fine. No more thousands of line segments. I tried this because I am working with a newly downloaded copy of X8 and some other things were not function properly and now I have a mystery to solve. When I select and item it is not highlighted in the "Active layer Display Options". Is there some setting that I have forgotten about that controls this? However this is not all good news for the OP as there is still no elevation data associated with the file that I can find. Update: I was able to import the 0 layer as elevation data with X7 but it has no elevation values and everything else seems to also be on that layer.
  24. Yes that is correct Johnny and now that I have looked at the file it would take hours to accomplish that. I have a good bit of experience working with plot plans and terrain yet have not relied on data from surveyors. It would be good to talk to your surveyor because when I import the data there does not seem to be any Z or elevation value so the lines are not much use to you and cannot be interpreted by Chief. I would personally ask for his elevation points and let chief plot the contour lines so that you have the control that you need for your purposes. I know that others will not agree with this but that is the way I would do it. If you do not want or can not risk any liability then ask for contour lines with the elevation value from you surveyor. Don't waste a whole lot of time trying to connect the lines as they do not seem to be of any use anyway without talking to your surveyor first. Unless of course I am dead wrong and someone else has a brilliant solution based on more experience working with DWG files. Possibly if you knew what his layers were they could be imported more accurately.
