Dialog boxes popping up on all object selects

I had a Magic Trackpad that was B/T to my computer and it had something barely pressing on it. I was flummoxed for a bit until I cleared my desk and the problem went away. Now that trackpad has the batteries removed (just as a precaution) -
Yep. Rene nailed it.

Needing HELP with building out the roof structure
para-CAD replied to CannonSheena's topic in Seeking Services
Looks like a DWG export from Chief. The dimensions are a bit loose. -
X15 Try again.
-
Chief has been able to adjust button sizes ever since I started using it. It takes effect after you restart the app. Now you're going to make me install X15 just to make sure I'm right. BRB

Set your toolbar Button size to a larger number until you like what you get. This is in Preferences (macOS shown here)

I searched for "Sloped Insulation" and there was nothing so here is my question. How do I make the batt insulation slope like in the attached picture? I have never found a way to get the box to break so I could slope it. Too bad a generic batt insulation hatch couldn't be a fill in a regular polyline...problem solved.

I helped to create a regional test for that school and then one for the state design contest. It seems like a great tech school. Many motivated young people. -

New Computer - Build or pre-built? Websites to buy reputable?
para-CAD replied to John_Charles's topic in General Q & A
Puget Systems or Falcon NW build great custom PCs (Puget Systems with lifetime phone technical support.) I had a beast built in 2016.....still runs great. It supports my wife's bookkeeping business effortlessly. (3) 4K monitors with excel, quickbooks, multiple tabbed browsers, and Spotify.......she is happy and productive. -
Chief is great. However, no one only has one tool in their shop. Right tool for the job. I use Chief mostly for plans for permit (no rendering needed) and Sketchup for real-world framing models. I wish you every success!!!

1 1/2 Story multi pitch roof kneewall error message anyone help?
para-CAD replied to Gdorough11's topic in General Q & A
My suggestion to the OP is, if you are paid up on your SSA, then call tech-support at chief and share your plan with them. They may be able to give you some pointers on how to accomplish what you’re trying to do. -
Total Under Roof?

YESSS!! Thank you for pointing out the framer. I know center to center is the same as over to it, but over to it on the plans just looks right. (Former framer)

Building CAD file into chief architect for a custom home.

Make sure you get a signed copyright release from the original designer before proceeding. Those infringements can be a $100K judgement. Best to you. -
Can a partial X15 project be completed in X16?
para-CAD replied to Larry_Sweeney's topic in General Q & A
X16 beta crashed for me yesterday. (macOS) I double clicked the line tool with a plan and layout file open. I failed to get a screen capture of the error message but it had the word fatal in it so I’m probably a digital felon now public beta means it’s still being evaluated and tweaked, just by a wider and free test environment - us users. I guess you have to decide if there is a feature in X 16 that you would like to have for your current projects and if it’s worth jumping into a beta to get it. -
