If I understand your question correctly you're creating your own schedule rather than auto generating from Schedules>Electric? You can use a room divider or draw a wall place the electric and then make the wall invisible from the dbx

Open dim defaults. Go to Locate Interior. Check surfaces

Am I doing this correctly: Coloring each circuit for an electrical map
richoffan replied to DIYJon's topic in General Q & A
What Gene said is very true. Your idea of making multiple copies of the circuit layers and individualizing them will give you much more control. The big plus is you do it once and save in the template for future plans -

Careful Tea, seems stating truth to fact can get you a down vote! -
Set the ceiling to 59 and move the wall to the intersection - you need to know the pitch and the overall dims for any of this to work. Or I just saw Joey's post - if all you need is the interior of that space set the roof on a 59 plate height - still need the pitch
-
You could set a ceiling height see where the ceiling line show and move the wall to that location. You could use CAD lines to establish location by height and move the wall there but walls don't have height control of themselves. If it doesn't need to be a wall for your purposes use a soffit or polysolid and size accordingly
-
Quick sketch -very quick. Draw your exterior walls. Open wall dbx for appropriate walls and change to gable and set pitch. Auto build roofs. Build new floor (do not check raise roof) Go to second floor and draw wall in correct location. Wall will be knee wall and "sloped wall" will be your roof knee wall.pdf

Edit>Preferences>Appearance>Colors. Personally I like a soft yellow like old trace paper. You can control a lot of the working colors there

X3 EULA.pdf Ok If you read the X3, longer, transfer clause it spends more time explaining the restrictions and requirements than the X14 does. They both say transfers subject to approval. Just wondering, has a building department ever changed their interpretation of a restriction in the code? X14 EULA.pdf -

Well Mick now you have me confused. I just spoke to them and was told transfers are still permitted per the agreement if approved. They did say they were tightening down the restrictions as they were very loose before. -

And so I did.... and they were kind enough to repost. Transfers are still permitted subject Chief's approval as always. Were they more lenient in the past? Probably. Will they be more lenient in the future? Possibly. Right now every prudent person and company is being cautious about the uncertain future. The statement " We don't do that anymore" is incorrect. License transfer is subject to approval on a case by case basis. -

Printing Elevation using Scale Dimensions, not Actual
richoffan replied to PJS-59's topic in General Q & A
Well dang! I didn't know that. I never noticed you could add your own. I build wooden model ships to keep my sanity (jury's still out) and use this all the time to draw up custom parts. I always had to futz with the scale. Thank You! -
With no info regarding system, program etc. almost impossible... Look to your video card and see what max lights are set to. Will be regulated by the size of video card or drive depending on what you're using to generate PBR

Yes I'm agreeing with you. Chief has not acted in bad faith

Posted December 1 There have been a few comments about paying SSA. Here are some options and our policy on SSA renewal. The price of SSA is currently $595. When we make changes to SSA pricing, we notify our customers in advance. The price of SSA renewal is not changing on Jan. 10. We begin billing for SSA 45 days prior to the due date. At that time, you will see the invoice in your online account and an email notification that SSA is due. There are multiple reminders to renew SSA as the due date approaches. We offer an SSA auto-pay option. You can contact sales at 208-292-3400 to provide payment information to get auto pay set up. If your SSA expires, there is a 30-day grace period from the date your SSA expires to get your SSA renewed. So, if you are out of town, etc., you have additional time to make your SSA payment. Kind regards, Chief Architect Sales 208.292.3400 | sales@chiefarchitect.com There has been no posting from Chief regarding transfers. Hoping they see the wisdom in doing that...soon

That's actually true if the contract establishes the duty ie: you will then be able to transfer your rights at will. The insurance company will pay damages if X,Y,Z Bad Faith is an intentional dishonest act by not fulfilling a legal or contractual obligation or intentionally misleading another. Chief has done neither. Whether or not license transfer is permitted (still debatable - want to hear from Chief) is still at their option. To completely eliminate the transfer would be a breach of the EULA. Not a lawyer, thank God - my sister is and that is bad enough... This is however pretty basic stuff to know if you're in business.

I must have missed that. Where did Chief post that? This the last post I saw on this. Was it confirmed? I would think Chief would post an answer as they have on many other concerns. It isn't a concern to me for my previously stated reasons but it obviously is to many others.

That's what I mean. I misunderstood Rene's post and the response here regarding "backup payment" complaining about not being able to have a card on file. Derek emailed me directly regarding Chief's policy and that it was indeed possible. So perhaps misunderstanding. I thought Lew asked about selling his license - just his X14 and was told they didn't do that. Which they don't - they transfer rights of use. For all versions. If a user could sell a version and retain a version Chief Architect wouldn't have survived the Clinton administration. A little feudal but there you are. Perhaps Chief could chime in with a clarification.

Offer Acceptance and Consideration. Lew, I know you're not happy. Everyone is unhappy about this to varying degrees and for varying reasons. The reality is we all agreed to the terms and conditions in the EULA and those are not changing. A condition suddenly becoming inconvenient for you does not establish bad faith. As for a car (truck) lease if Ford said they're are not accepting a trade on a Toyota that is their prerogative. If Chief decides unchecked transfer of existing licenses is detrimental to the profitability of the company that is, and always has been, their prerogative. Might I suggest you request a License Transfer Request Form and post it here. It would be helpful if you highlighted the changes to the form that are causing so much angst
