    Thanks Eric I will... But this is a little weird - when I use CTRL>SHFT on the wired keyboard (Logitech G710) nada. When I do it on the laptop's keyboard (Alienware R3) it works fine. Thanks again - alot easier having these side by side

    Thanks Eric, Doesn't seem to work anymore. I just get the same warning about opening two. I've been using screen shots but that's growing old....

    Is there a way in X12 to open Layer Display Options side by side? I want to open the dialogue for a current project on one monitor and open my profile plan dialogue on another to compare side by side and see what changes I've made and what I might include in the profile.

    With much helpful input from the people on ChiefTalk I upgraded from my 10 year old machine last August to this one. It's hooked to (2) 32" Samsung curved monitors and a 5T Seagate external backup. Life is good....

    For the check mark to be removed the value must be different than the default or the program reaffirms

    I went through and checked all the defaults for floor / foundation / framing.... everything held @ 94 stem 91 rough. Then I moved your walls to the foundation and again every thing held. I got in the habit long ago of A) move with dimension to 1/2" off concrete (airspace) or create the foundation wall with the air space and furred wall attached. Don't know why it wasn't working for you. One thing I did after checking / setting the defaults was rebuild walls floors ceilings... Then all the room defaults held Jasonn chk 52421.zip

    Just a thought before I call it a night Jasonn - when you checked / changed the floor framing did the stem wall correct? Its tied to the sill so it will screw with the rough frame height

    It seems, and I'm guessing here, your thinking the dbx is the default. The dbx for the associated area (new vrs existing for example) is the override for the default. Go to defaults > floors and rooms > floor levels and check the settings for the first and basement levels
  9. richoffan
    ok your difference equals the framing 11 7/8 - 9 1/4 so... I would check your framing defaults. It appears Chief is trying to force the framing member. I can see where it is forced off the default by no check next to the wrench
  10. richoffan
    Try going to the first floor defaults > structure > floor below and check what that default is set to... Just an idea

    Corbels and Brackets, Soffits, Polyline Solids and a little experimentation . Just remember to block it and save it for future.....

    You could try edit preferences > reset options > reset toolbars - you'll lose anything you've customized -- reboot and the toolbars SHOULD BE back to outta da box settings

    Picky picky Use a CAD Line and draw over the one you don't want. Open dialog and change to white or what ever your back ground color is. Adjust line weight to whatever your window layer line weight is. Place CAD line on its own layer (best place to set the properties)

    I just tried this 'cause never had to do in reverse... You can select items drawn on sheet 0 / copy / open a new plan / edit>paste (it'll be really small) just zoom in - You should be able to send to layout from there.... did in X12 but sure edit>paste was in X10
  15. richoffan
    Make a CAD detail from view and you can add all of those and adjust the line style, weight etc. You could use CAD boxes with fill .....
  16. richoffan
    You could group select all your layout boxes on page 0, open the dialogue box, go to line style and change the layout page in that panel

    Hi Jeff, Received your email. I have drawn several projects on the front range from Fort Collins (including Old Town) to Denver and Boulder. Have relocated to Grand Junction but am still current with those jurisdiction requirements. Work with Ron from CSE Structural Engineers in Fort Collins for permit sets. Rich richoffan@comcast.net

    Would be interested in discussing your project. I have been in design and construction for over 40 years. I have been working with Chief since 1994 V4.0.... currently work in X10 and X11 (mostly) You can reach me @ richoffan@comcast.net if you would like to pursue further details. Best regards, Rich

    Hi Live in Loveland and work in Fort Collins. Been working CA since 1994. Currently using X9 and occasionally X8 to finish up but keep X6 & 7 on the computer just in case..... Send me a pdf with what you have and some more info on what you need and lets talk. richoffan@comcast.net

    David, If I read your post correctly, you have a complete set of hand drawn construction documents for a house that have been scanned into a pdf. You need someone to "create" a 3D model of the house using Chief. The amount of detail you would want in the model (cabinets, tile work, furniture, millwork etc.) as well as exterior (site, landscape etc.) would be a big factor. If you could post the pdf with your requirements I'd be happy to quote. I have been working with CA since 1995 V4 and currently use X8. I am located in the Denver area. I agree with DJP however - won't be cheap.

    I would be interested in reviewing a scope for a better understanding. I have 42 years experience in design / build including commercial and residential. I have been working with Chief since version 4 (1994) and currently use X7 while toying with X8 Beta. (wow) Regards Rich Hoffman richoffan@comcast.net 847 373 8627
