Transform and Replicate also works if it is just a simple elevation change. You can also select other components that need the same adjustment.
-
Build > Roof > Edit All Roof Planes. You should have actually been given a warning directing you there trying to use defaults if I recall correctly as I have tried to do the same thing in the past.
-
With the Roof Tools in the drop down near the bottom of the list. However you may also need to edit them individually if there are differences.
-
Have not looked at the video yet but defaults will not effect a roof once it is built and you need to use Edit All Roof Planes.
-
Shelves are perhaps just not on a layer that is turned on in elevation view. Backsplash can be done with a p-solid if nothing else works or change the material for the entire Niche Backing.

Help needed to add drywall to wall ends
Chopsaw replied to MovingandShaking's topic in General Q & A
Did you read through and understand this one ? If not you can post your plan file and one of the experts will take a look. -
Do they go away when you delete the associated wall detailing ? If not you may need to post the plan or contact tech support.
-
Ouch... Did those arrive with the Auto Detailing ?

I think I would plan on adding more RAM if you run other software with Chief or have multiple monitors. You could likely get away with 24 but Chief recommends 32 MB and minimum of 1TB SSD even though Chief recommends 512 MB.

It should just work and a good way to confirm is see if it snaps perfectly to your drawing sheet particularly if you are printing on the same size paper as the original PDF providing it is properly scaled. Where you run into trouble is with scanned material that has odd sized paper dimensions. It does not hurt to check and confirm but if you are doing all the work and using a consistent method it should always turn out the same. Just be careful with your file sizes but if they are vector files it should not be a big problem.

Set your Subfloor Height above Sea Level here: That should allow you to build your terrain based on real elevations. If you leave it at 0 then all your site elevations are based on values below the subfloor with no real sea level reference. Then when you need to do your story pole you can enter the same value there to bring the subfloor back to story pole 0 as Glenn referenced above.

Have a look in the foundation room specifications.
-
negative Yes so that seems to be the issue. You can't print without line weights being displayed so you need to check how they will print by turning on Print Preview or Line Weights and then make your adjustments.
-
Do you have Line Weights or Print Preview turned on in your section view ?
-
Yes I think I alluded to that in the previous thread. As soon as you disconnect a line to get the correct label to display then you no longer have a closed polyline to calculate area from or convert to a terrain perimeter. However I rarely use the plot lines for terrain perimeter and make that a good bit larger than the actual plot. Not sure you can have both in the same plan file. "3. How can I have elevation points show on plot plan as points on elevation line?" Points and lines are quite different things. You can label lines or points but they do not normally fall in the same locations as points are very specific locations and precise elevations and lines are usually computer generated from imputed points and just a general representation of elevation. More information needed.

Your welcome. It might actually be better in Chief than Sketchup ! Look at the shoes.
-
Some seem to still be available in 2020 versions as well as .dae ( collada ) which can be used in Chief.
-
Actually there is nothing wrong with the imported settings. You just need to view it in Standard View. So set it back to X= 1" and Y= 1" if you changed anything.
-
Stretch to fit may be the best you can do but there still seem to be mapping issues. Also don't forget to switch your preview to Standard View.
-
Yes you really should not need to do that. Actually surprised to see Azimuth Bearings used in Canada. That is a first. Left side needs some help as well. Let us know how you do and you likely should display all three decimal places with the metric dimensions.
-
It looks like you are making progress but still have a few adjustments to make as well as the front line is an arc where you have drawn the chord. I sometimes put the chord in as well but make it a dashed line style.

X13 cannot find option for plated headers a.k.a. box headers
Chopsaw replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
Yes we have that in X13. And you sort of have to plate the header if it is crammed to one side or the other otherwise there is no fastening, also the plates help with deflection. -
Layout space converting to metric instead of imperial
Chopsaw replied to jenmarsch's topic in General Q & A
Ok something did change on you then. The dropdown list only displays your default units so you will need to go back to Preferences > Unit Conversions and make "ft" or " ' " a default unit. Then it should all work as normal. -

Chopsaw replied to jenmarsch's topic in General Q & A
That is default is determined by your Drawing Sheet Setup in plan view so something must have changed there. Go back to Plan View and adjust it there and try again.
