  1. Try this link and watch these two videos. Not sure if this is the direction you are heading in, and I'm also not sure if you need SSA to watch these videos. https://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=knee+wall
  2. Michael, I will look into that. Thank you! Hope all is well!
  3. Thank you both for taking the time to answer my question. I create all my labels manually. I watched a video on Macros and thought I'd give it a try. It doesn't bother me to create the labels manually because I've been doing it for years. I figured it could save me a step. Lol Thanks again!
  4. I've never used the macros before and thought I'd give it a try. I went to the "Text" tool and clicked on "Rich Text" after the specification box opened, I typed in "Study" and then inserted a macro under that by clicking "macro>global>room info>room dimension" it gives me the dimensions from drywall to drywall. Not stud to stud which is how I normally do it. Is there a way to have is give me the dimensions from stud to stud rather than drywall to drywall?
  5. Although David's comment wasn't as helpful to this post, I would try Johnathon's approach. Good Luck!
  6. Are you trying to do something like this? (See attached pic) Like what's above the front door and garage?
  7. Not sure if Joey Martin chimed in yet, or if he is offering training sessions at this time, but he does a very good job. He knows his stuff. Look for him and send him a message.
  8. Jwatson, this isn't the area you post such a question in. Try the "Seeking Services" or "Local User's Group" Section of this forum, rather than hijacking someone else's post.
  9. Holy sh*t dude, what kind of computer equipment are you buying? Lol. $2,600.00 for Computer $300.00 For a good small printer. $50.00 for a mouse $250.00 for comfortable computer chair, and $2,695.00 For Chief. You're looking around 6g. Like Scott said. I mean later on in my business I ordered business cards ($50.00) and an Ipad Pro to show plans to clients in 3D don't remember the cost on that. above 1g.
  10. Chief 16 beat me to it. Lol
  11. Take a look at this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPk-l0YCqIc
  12. Try this. You may have to have SSA to view these, not quite sure. Never NOT had it. https://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=backdrop
  13. I'm pretty sure you can, if you look well enough, you might find a chief architect video on how to go about it.
  14. Off topic question, Are these doors found in chief's library? I've been looking for the half door with divided lights and haven't found anything on 3D warehouse that I liked, or in chief. These are awesome.
  15. I use a polyline sold for this situation.
  16. I know that some people may get into a tizzy over this, but why can't you just manually draw your roof? Chief can't read my mind. I find that even though the "automatic" features are/can be useful, a lot of the times they don't produce the results I need/want. I never use automatic roof, or foundations. Are you proficient enough to use the roof tools without chief's automatic roof tools? I would highly suggest doing that, then use the ceiling plane tools to get your vault.
  17. StevenK, I just purchased a 12.9" Ipad Pro 256GB that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Will that be sufficient enough to work? Not very tech savy. lol
  18. Richard, I have an Iphone 6 Plus 128 GB and get the same error message...
  19. Where was this thread a few weeks ago when I came across a similar problem? Lol Luckily the fine folks at Chief Architect Priority support helped me through it. This post is a great resource.
  20. I double clicked on your front living room wall and under the roof tab you had the auto roof return extend 79".That's a little excessive and was most likely causing the result David was seeing in his video. That can easily be done manually. I turned off auto roof return for said wall and drew the roof plan in myself, then drug the attic wall over to fill the gap. See attach file and pic. It's margarita night at my house I better get back to my drink now. Lol Have a great night! I would have made you a video but everyone calls me ma'am on the phone and it makes me a little self conscious. LMAO MooreCraft Floor Plan Foster (RJD MOD).zip
  21. Again, thank you for all the help, Here is the final product. (Please note: This symbol was created in Chief Architect Premier X8) Custom Mantel.calibz
  22. I went ahead and gave it a whack and this is what I came up with, pretty darn similar to yours Greg. I'm a very generous person, so I will share it in you guys. Also, look in this section of the forum for a custom mantel. (Please note: This symbol was created in Chief Architect Premier X8) Custon Newel Post.calibz
  23. Greg, Thank you for taking the time to help me (once again lol) I figured it out and was going to share it. I just can't figure out how to export it as a library file. That molding you couldn't fine I created in chief. My builder buys that profile in bulk, so I wanted to be able to have an exact model. Thank you again for helping me!
