Thanks Ben, I think that's the main issue. In the meantime, I've reconfigured the mouse to the right button, but it took some getting used to!

Hey Ben, Yeah it's a Logitech M720. I did try a wired mouse from a colleuge and it seems to mostly work. It's an ancient spare wired one so is pretty terrible lol.

thanks for replying though

I tried multiple restarts, a different mouse, etc. Same results.

Hi Community, I'm getting this weird condition in Chief 16 where any selecting of objects in the Cad window I'm editing opens the dialog box for that object. So if I try and click on a line to drag or move it, or a box, or pretty much and object in the drawing, the dialog box opens instead, which then has to be closed to do any work. Sometimes, if I hold my tongue just right, or zoom in so tight that I'm looking at individual pixels, I can do some drawing edits. This is a new thing that has just occurred today. And it's driving me nuts. I think I have gone thru all the various defaults and preferences to check if I did something (operator error is mostly likely cause) but can't locate anything. I'm using Windows 11 Home on a new Dell XPS 15: Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H 2.60 GHz. Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable). System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor running Chief Premier X16 Any help would be appreciated, Don

Here's the setting! Thanks Solver and everyone who contributed. Uncheck the plywood as framing and Chief draws a truss!

X13 build 23.3.0.81x64 Hi All, I'm having issues with my floor system. I can create JOISTS and display in section/elevation/3D Framing views. I can edit them etc. I cannot get floor TRUSSes to draw properly for the second level. My 12 3/4" floor depth gets "squished" to 4 1/2" top/bottom/mid chord sandwich that is not a open wood web floor truss. I've attached some images of the difference. The main floor system open wood web floor TRUSSes display, as do the roof trusses so I don't know what Chief sin I have committed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Donald in Winnipeg
