  1. Steve Nestor is quite good at dormers.
  2. Good morning, I'm helping someone with an x12 version of a screen porch. I'm following the CA video and all of that is good but my screen is coming in opaque and I can't seem to find the handle to get it to be translucent? screen porch.pdf
  3. On the tall cabinet check the fill and the transparency percentage and compare it to the vanity specs.
  4. Use the display order icon at the bottom toolbar, a black and white page icon.
  5. It's there in the zip, I was able to open it, I forget why the frieze does not generate in these conditions but I'm happy to help with the solve if I can...
  6. Can you show the plan view? I believe your placement might be overlapping by a small margin. Zoom in to see if this is the case.
  7. Also, when in doubt turn all layers on in your camera view and make sure you have the correct layer set for 3D.
  8. I've created my share of strange looking things from user error but this is a new one. Crawl space foundation wall. I checked default and deleted it and reset it and came back....?
  9. Why are labels showing up in layout when they are off in elevation plan view?
  10. Is there a sequential list of training videos that are currently available with links? I realize that some are retired but I'm looking for a master list of everything available?
  11. The problem seems to have something to do with the save attributes creating an infinity problem where length is added to file names, in this case a pdf saved in a layout file.............
  12. Well, necessity being the mother of invention I was searching for solutions and part of the problem was temp files being in hidden folders. By carefully exposing some of these files I was able to free up 22gb of available space on my c drive. I'm certain there is more room available and I'm hoping I can figure out how to step by step delete and uninstall anything unnecessary. Some of what was uncovered is related to importation of older chief files. x13,14, 15
  13. Thank you all for responding. I think the problem might be entirely mine but it shows up with error messages in Chief. I bought a gamer's computer two years ago, 4090 chip I believe with a small primary hard drive 120G and a large secondary drive 500G, I have 10 Gig of program files, have stripped out and cleaned disk restarted and it still says C drive is holding 115 gig with only 4.4gig available. I'm wondering how to rework or reformat everything properly for enough storage. Two or the error messages occured after working for a couple hours only to receive a message that the file was corrupted.
  14. Good morning, I'm looking for a Chief user on PC that I could speak with about hard drive configuration for optimal performance. Some of my resent larger files have been really bogging down my PC performance and looking to find someone that could help me reorganize and speed things up? If there is a Pro out there that someone has worked with before I would appreciate that contact.
  15. ....agree but how do you get the automatic numbering to appear in the construction lines at the beginning of the video?
  16. Make sure your in the right code section for spiral stairs if indeed that is what they are going for. Spiral stairs have a separate section.
  17. Is there a source for specific Simpson hardware objects to add in 3D? Sample hardware.pdf
  18. I'm revisiting this because last time I came up with a solution for a work around but this has come up again and I am finding others who have had this problem too. I tried to follow Rob's suggestions above but I think I need some interim steps to correct defaults or views. My dimensions are large in plan view but too small in layout. I will post the current settings in plan view too.
  19. Does anyone have a list of steps or tutorial video to follow to create a clickable table of contents for a layout file in pdf for electronic submission?
  20. Hello Frank, I saw your post and I will reach out to you a bit later tonight to introduce myself. I'm working on a project in WA right now and have done others in your area. I have 25 years experience and I was a GC for 15 years. Thank you, Joe Paquet jpaquet4@gmail.com
