Issues with Chief Architect not fully opening on screen but will open when clicking directly on the file.

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

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 have no ignored users so I'm wondering why I don't see the post you are commenting on.

Strange.

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

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

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

Well I look at all the above which were interesting to say the least, however none of which produced what I was looking for.  Now with countless changes I finally got what I was looking for.  The interior wall is not quite the same but the exterior is exactly what I needed.

Thanks everyone it was a journey but now have it down to a science.

Jim I thought so as well but its not.  The interior does have an attic above this second floor.  Space to the left and right of each dormer ia approx. 13" inches.  The interior walls go all the way to that roof line of which the floor is even with the edge of the gutters on the roof.

I have tried the online videos and have not seen one that would work thus far.

For the life of me I cannot complete this task. I tried creating a Cape and then changing the roof but no luck. I tried creating knee walls and still no luck.  Trying to create a Gambrel Roof where it rests on the first floor walls so I can place dormers. I have looked through the videos and I know its something simple.  Photo shows what I need to create. Plan shows what I got.  I have created this in the past however with AutoCAD and believe me if you don't use it you lose it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Do you have a photo ? A plan to post ? no idea what software your referring too.

NCC-1701 I think you posted on the wrong question being asked. JMHO

One of the bedrooms has two closets but no access from the bedroom only access from the exterior rear.  Is this a storage area or a closet?.  Garage has no second means of egress/ingress i.e. door or window.  I would suggest both unless for some reason you do not want to add a door other than just the garage doors.  Windows on the front side would add extra lighting.  Just my opinion.

Wrong forum, you should post this in the HD forum.

Being only 8 years old does have its advantages.  I also have HDP 2016 on my laptop and he draws those MineCraft pictures using CAD lines when he gets board.  I'm thinking of having him just draw one of my pencil sketches and see what he comes up with.

See what I mean after my frustration of not being able to print the multiple pages and trying everythign I could think of my 8 year old say Dad just print it when you have that picture open.  Ouch  That solved my Delia, print from the Layout and it will include all the pages.

Thanks everyone for listening

Good morning I know this is a stupid question but after searching and searching and reading i'm exhausted.  It's the simple stuff that gets me.  I created a layout, created a plan, sent the perspective views to the layout pages but how do you print out the entire plan (with the 9 layout pages) all at one time into a PDF.  For the life of me I cannot find this.  It has to be simple because I cannot find it.
