Hey, I'll take that bottle of wine when your done with it. Great looking project!

Hey Mick. Thanks for replying. I tried to call priority support and was met with a message saying they were ALL in a meeting. LOL. I will try back later. In the meantime I just have to press forward. I currently have 8 clients on my desk right now and have no time to really dig deep until late this evening. I did go into my preferences and noticed that the user library was greyed out as well as the browse button... That was a tad confusing... see pic attached. I will try to dive into this this evening. Thanks again for the reply. Have a good day.

Strangest thing happened today. I opened Chief on my laptop and my User Catalog had nothing in it. Closed and restarted Chief and still nothing. Anyone ever come across this? I spent hours creating that library. I usually back things up every few months and that was on my to do list, but I've been swamped with a renovation, work, family, and a new rescue pup. Any thoughts?

Steve, I was actually going to send you an email regarding this. I've noticed that you use a mac in your videos. Currently I switch between my laptop and desktop to work on projects. Sometimes I'd rather sit on the patio with a glass of wine, rather than sit at my desk all day. Do you think there would be issues working on a plan on a mac desktop and them switching to a windows laptop?

@Chris50 I don't want to beat a dead horse, but did you ever buy the iMac Pro? I was considering replacing my main desktop work station from PC to Mac. The 5k price tag is a little rough, but I don't mind as long as it can handle Chief.

You could ask him... @SNestor?

Give these 4 videos a peek. These are by a really great user named Steve. Pretty Helpful.

Reach out to @Alaskan_Son. He's amazing! He's helped me out of quite a few binds. Great guy!

You got that by looking at the front elevation pic? Impressive. I don't think he understood when he was asked to post his plan. He shared the layout in a pdf format. Not the plan file.

Are you using X11 or another title?

To get the cap on the half wall, open the wall and check "railing" in the wall specification dialogue. Under the "Rail Style" tab select "solid" and your cap should appear. It kinda looks like you used a full height wall and drug it down. That also fixes your drywall issue above it.

Did it bug anyone else that when she didn't center the window she added to one of the bays? Or is that just my OCD running wild. It's all I could think about. Lol Overall very informative.

There’s a running joke in my house that if you need to fall asleep fast, put on a Chief Architect video. I’m not saying they are boring or slow. They are very informative. I just can’t keep my eyes open while trying to watch them. Lol

I was behind on some windows updates and a video card update. Are your file accessed from one computer or do you use something like OneDrive? I thought that could have been my problem, but after updating everything it seemed to work fine.

Huh? Funny. This happened to me on three separate plans over the past few days. I'm impatient, so I just Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close the plan and reopen it. Eventually the plan cooperated. I did notice this only happened when working on roofs. I became fed up and just updated everything. It seemed to work okay after that.

Make sure in your camera view that you have "Invisible Walls" checked. See pic below.

I am looking for someone to create a few furniture pieces for me. Willing to pay for good quality symbols. Please send me a PM to discuss this in more detail. Thanks!

You should delete this thread and re-post it... it's a tab bit confusing. LOL

Check THIS video out. Pretty helpful.

Make sure your wall layers are on.

I would be lost without my iPad Pro and my iPencil. Saves me SOOOO much paper.

AMEN!!!!!! +1

Cheryl, Stay safe down there. Here in Indiana we haven't had much of a spring yet. Should be here in the next week or so. Hope all is well.

Stunning as always. What is the name of the grey paint color in the 3rd pic? I love it!
