It appears you used "Rotate Plan View" so for that to work for the cameras you need to be sure that "Rotate with Plan" is not selected for the "Text Style" that the Cameras Layer is using.

A few screen shots might help but X10 has live views that are low resolution until printed. It is done to save memory but you can zoom in and update if you need the layout view to be readable while you are working but depending on the size of the plan/layout files and you computer spec's it can be rather slow that way.

They are referenced files or you can choose to have a copy saved in your Data Folder as well.

Pretty sure there is a little leeway with SSA payments so no need to panic quite yet but it is a little odd when you get an email like that. Even tech support seems to have a habit of doing that and sending out emails at the end of the day just before or after closing time.

Yes that type of organization can really help the contractor if you can separate things by ordering lot sequence or supplier as well.

Sorry those were not my personal video's. Michaels method was not one I had personally used but had bookmarked for when the situation came up so can not recall all the exact details. I think it involved some cad detail from view methods and point to point moves but not sure. You can PM @Alaskan_Son to see if he will share an archived copy of his original video.

Yes I think it could look better than the example by doing that. The example appears to be 48" straight panels mounted on a wall to support the upper bar top but cutting that down to 24" and curving it would help create the illusion. Not quite sure what they did on the inside as you can't see much more than the water faucet neck but the back of those cabinets would be completely hidden anyway.

Yes I understand and appreciate that Rene. The problem is there is quite a distinct difference between "making" something and "drawing" something. The posted image creates quite a dramatic effect without using curved cabinets is my other point.

I can see some pretty straight lines there in the cabinets or at least the back panels. Definitely a curved custom countertop but that is pretty straight forward. No point in spending tens of thousands extra unless that is exactly what the client wants. It looks to me like 4-5 straight sections with a curved top.

You could but it is a long way between there and a set of finished drawings. It is only one step better than tracing over a PDF. The advantage of a cad file is that you will have snap points to snap your chief walls to. Likely it would be best to just put all your best ideas together and draw your dream house and save your money for the construction project.

Wow that is quite the dramatic difference. What does it look like with the Color toggled on ?

Regardless of whether or not it can be fixed that should be sent in to tech support as the images should not be larger than the row dividers ever.

Not really sure that is a cabinet option in chief unless you want to completely custom build the whole cabinet and wall details from solids. Other wise I think the best approach would be to use the magic of digital design and mesh the cabinet to the wall and take a section view then convert that to a cad detail from view and dimension that for the fabricator. Unless one of the cabinet guru's has a better suggestion.

Wow that sure is interesting. You may be able to heal it by CTRL + X and then CTRL + ALT + V but have not tried it. Works for some other different types of issues.

This method doesn't allow further control over the formatting, but you could try: area.to_s("acre") That almost works but I don't see any way to get anything other than the default six decimal places which is a bit of a deal breaker. The problem I have with the existing documentation which seems to be quite common is that it is all written by someone who is a Ruby master and there is not distinction between the ruby code and items that need to be substituted into the ruby code. So unless practical examples are given it is really difficult for a novice to figure out. Someone who already knows ruby likely does not even notice this issue but for someone starting out it would be a lot easier if the items that need to be substituted were another color or italicized or something since ruby uses common words as code.

Sometimes you need to fiddle with that wall layer intersection tool quite a bit and not necessarily the way you would expect or the wall you think you should adjust. If there is no way to satisfy it you might want to post the plan file and let one of us have a try.

Thanks Rob, I actually have X13 and was just trying to clarify what Joe said because it has totally confused me.

I am not sure that would work. I can't even past an X13 cad line back into X12. Perhaps .3DS but definitely not .SKP from Chief unless you are already working in the next version.

They are. You can for example do the conversion using something like %area.convert_to("acre")% or you can specify your new Unit using the NumberFormatter as well. Thanks Michael, That is actually one more character than the method I ended up using %(area.to_sq_m/4047)% but it saves me having to look up the conversion factor and maybe not get it correct every time. Seems strange that the SHORTCUT will not work for this instance. %area.to_acre% Is there a way to use the rest of the formatting "convert_to(unit: Symbol | String)" to display the "units" ? Or do you need to create a complete NumberFormatter for that with unit=("acre") in it ?

Is there a way that actually works Joe ? Copy and Paste does not seem to work with symbols to go back to previous versions.

Be sure there is a little check box in the corner of the status bar toggle. May not be a Chief setting at all. It may just be that your window needs to be "Maximized" up at the top right.

Status Bar can be toggled under "View" Edit tool bar only appears when an object is selected ? Not sure it can be turned off.

All except for the people in California most likely did not consider that it would be a good idea to write the entire code in metric for an industry that does not use metric.
