Yes. They are normally circled when the program has identified them as having a connection issue. Hiding in the Help Files under Pointer Icons.

Does it look anything like this ?

Change your "Exterior Wall Surface" back to "Default" at the top of the list of "Plan Materials" and you should be good to go.

How about the other side of the wall ? If it shows drywall then two of the walls are likely inside out.

That is a bit irregular. Are you referring to "Check Plot" Printing perhaps ? There is another current thread on that subject here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/33854-printing-layout-sheets-on-11x17-or-24x36/?tab=comments#comment-264022

That sounds like loads of fun. Is tech support aware of that ? I had a serious error when panning past ALDO and they told me that it was my mouse.

I don't think it can get any simpler than depressing your scroll wheel.

It is possible you have found a new bug. Are you able to post the plan file ?

Check your Project Browser under Schedules.

Only way that happens is if there are two schedules. Sometimes the are forgotten when placed into a cad detail.

You might find it easier to use a polyline solid.

Did you read this one by any chance ? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/33797-porch-beam-misalignment/?tab=comments#comment-263606

Not really sure what Solver told you but this is not likely a bug. I suspect that you have not included enough columns for the doors to sort the way you are expecting. The only sort criteria that seems to be in play with your posted schedule is "3068 R EX" or "3068 L EX" so that is what Chief uses to categorize your doors for you in your schedule.

Not a bad idea at all .......but that one wouldn't help Forum Files as they all have Titles, but I could see an optional popup for New Files to the local Chief installation ( using the Recent List Data perhaps ) to " Auto Save On or Off for this Plan" or perhaps make it an optional per Plan Default? ( On by Default ) I like the idea of the Plan Default but not sure it would help out for Forum Plan Files as the Plan Default would carry through. It needs to be a Preference I think. Also I create hundreds of temporary plan files for my own use as well as for people that post forum questions without posting the offending plan file. Too many pop ups can get to the point that regardless of what they say they get ignored unfortunately.

Yup just another wrinkle that make it harder to help out here on the forum that could be fixed with one little checkbox for.. ⬜ "Auto Save Untitled Files" Not that difficult I am sure.

Yes but wish there was a way to turn it off. It requires a lot of storage space or maintenance.

Have a look for your autosave files and open them up and hope they were created without much lost work. Then do a save as before you resume working with the files. C:\Users\User\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X13 Data\Archives\File Name\ File_auto_save_bak.plan\.layout You know now, but never forget to save your file and shutdown Chief before a windows update.

Unfortunately elevations are generated as a camera view. I am thinking you will be restricted to plan view and cad functions. You really should talk to tech support or if it is not feasible to upgrade your laptop possibly sales can help you out with a previous software version.

Or perhaps... Preferences> Edit> Behaviors> Behavior Indicators you turned it on. Because: You can only temporarily turn that off as it resets to ON between secessions.

There was actually an update announced just this week but to apply hangers automatically someone has to figure out which hanger to use and that won't be Chief otherwise a great idea.

"Inserts into Cabinet Front" seems to work for Soffits. Not sure that I have ever made a hole in a soffit though ?

You can do it if you don't use slats. Use one material with a bump map for the texture and then no pattern for the vector views. Just take a screen shot of what you have and use that for the texture and test it on another wall before editing the original.

What version was the file last saved with ? If it is a .plan file you should be able to open it with your new version.

Cad Details or Page 0, or some other Template Page perhaps ?

Yes I think that will work. If you have the saved camera in your template plan it should automatically populate your layout if you save the layout box in your layout template. Unfortunately every single job I do seems to be very different from the pervious one so far, so I have not done that setup in my own templates. You could PM @Kbird1 though and if he has time he could do some one on one with you since I think he understands that all very well.
