Right click on “Windows Icon” Select Computer “Management” Click on arrow next to “Services and Applications” Click on “Services” Click on the first file no matter what it is: Now press the letter “N” they will be placed in alphabetic order. Select “Nahimic Service” Double Click on it and select Startup Type In down arrow select DISABLE Then RIGHT Click on it and select STOP You want to “Disable it and then Stop it” Close everything and reboot system

Thanks, and none of those issues. I believe my computer must have done an windows Update and changed a setting. Sitting and thinking about it and I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still did not work. So I remembered I have a similar issue about 4 years ago and I wrote down what Tech Support told me to do after being on the phone with them for almost 2 hours. I wrote everything down and saved it but could not remember what I save it as. Well I found it and tried it and it solved the problem. I have a habit of writing things down, but could not remember the name. It anyone else has the same issue I'll be more than glad to help and not charge $1,050.00 for a 1-2 minute fix. My number is on this Thanks For you help Dave Cortes (607)765-3375

Good afternoon Folks, for some godly reason my Chief Architect 13 will not open up. The main screen opens then that Welcome screen opens up but just sits there and spins hour glass. I called and being that I am out of SSA Agreement they want to charge my $1,050 dollars just to talk to Tech Support. I'm retired I do not make that much money on Social Security to pay $1,050.00 Im wondering if there is anyone that might have a solution or any idea what might be the issue. I last updated my library two-three weeks ago and everything was fine. Someone please help if you can

I did not delete anything. But thanks for the response.

I've tried just about everything trying to create the open rafters for a commercial warehouse building. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated Dave Cortes Chief Architect X13

The rule is 1:12 ratio and there must be a landing every 30' which should be a 5'-0" x 5'-0" for easy turn around. Ramps for the VA must be 48" in width and handrail on both sides. Distance between handrails is 42".

Where are you located ? If you would like to send me a sample I can get a better feeling what you need and want. Send to dave.cortes@gmail.com Dave

In the past you were able to change the floor height to a particular room. I have a step down loving room and I have created many of these in the past and for some reason I will not work now. I have a step up of 8 inches and it changes all the floors up to 8 inches. Something is really wrong here.

Antman How did you create the door schedule with the photo's of the doors on the left ?

Thanks Curt, I made sure they layers were on in the plan view but it didn't even cross my mind that I would have to turn them on in the Foot Print view as well. Thanks Again Curt

Is there an easier way to have all handicap ramps show up when you create footprint of the drawing so you can place it on the plot plan. I been having to draw in the outline of the ramps via CAD lines. Thanks in Advance

I would imagine it wold be for the SAH Grant. Which requires the 4x4 roll in shower barrier free, one grab bar on each wall to support the veterans weight, hand held shower with a thermostatic controlled valve to prevent the sudden change in temperature, bathroom door must open outward best to install a pocket door if possible. Two means of egress/ingress and one has to be from the veterans bedroom. Doors to be 36" in width unless they are 32" which is acceptable. Ramps not to exceed 1:12.5 slope, 48" wide, 42" handrail to handrail. Yep know all about it. But i'm in Upstate New York. If you need help in understanding it or need additional guidance please do not hesitate to ask.

My guess you will have a problem with this. Since 1990, the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act specifically has protected "architectural works," which include architectural plans and drawings as well as "the arrangement and composition of spaces and elements in the design." Original plans and drawings for the design of a property, or the property itself, can be protected under the copyright laws. You will have to go to the owner of those plans. JMHO

Yep tried it all. They are located in the Millwork layer and that's on I tried doorway and still cannot see the shelves. Only in camera view. Using wall elevation view and still no shelves. Oh well I just went into the elevation view and drawn them in manually.

One thing I am unable to accomplish is I have a closet in which I installed about 4 shelves and they are visible via camera view but not in wall elevation view. I want to be able to show then in the elevation view so I can dimension them for review. Anyone know a way this can be done. Thanks in advance
