  1. This might be a ridiculous question - but - can I get rid of my old versions of Chief? I have X15 but still have all the older versions still installed on my computer. I have been horrible at file management and have used 641GB of my available 952GB with most of it being old plans. I am slogging through my old files and deleting a lot of plans, but I also noticed that old versions of Chief are pretty big (@600MB). How do you all manage files? I have always ignored the prompt that asks if I want to manage files which seems to have been a bad idea.
  2. Thanks everyone. I used to use the Closet Plus catalog and am glad to know why I can't access it anymore. This catalog from rabbittdesign looks great.
  3. Is there any type of closet system catalog available? In previous versions, one of the cabinet catalogs (Canyon Creek I think) had closet components (partitions, long hang, double hang, shelves, etc.). This doesn't seem to be an option anymore and I can't find anything comparable in searching catalogs. Do I need to build the closet using cabinet components?
  4. I thought I would start here before calling SSA. I just installed X14 (was using X13) and upgraded to Windows 11. Since then (yesterday) I have been receiving the attached error message. Chief shuts down, I reopen it, continue working, and everything "seems" fine. I just updated my signature to reflect my computers specs. I got a new system at the beginning of the year which my IT guy assured me is more than sufficient for Chief (I am not a computer person). Any ideas? I can contact support but I have been successful here with all you Chief gurus.
  5. It seems the pet doors in the catalog are designed to go in a wall. Is there a way to insert a pet door into a door?
  6. I want it to look like this:
  7. Is there a way to put a pet door in a door?
  8. Thanks for the input. I get using the shape tab for the top, but I don't know how to use it for the bottom. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this - we are replacing this unit and adding a portico so the current window is going away. I was just curious about how to do it and if there's a way to shape the bottom of a window.
  9. I am drawing an as-built of this house. How do I do the top arched transom?
  10. Thank you for the replies. I did update my Nvidia driver and everything seems to be working better.
  11. I installed X11 about a week ago and everything seemed fine - until today. When logging on I got a message that my video card could not handle advanced lighting techniques (I think?) and now my perspective full overviews are messed up. The thing is, it's been fine until now. Did I inadvertently change something in the settings?
  12. It worked! And FYI, the text is under "Dimensions, Roof" and that is weird.
  13. I am using a CAD detail from the bonus catalog for a wall section. When I explode the block to edit the section, the text labels disappear. I've tried seeing if something is turned off in the layer display options to no avail. Attached is an example of the original detail and the detail when I explode it. I can explode/edit CAD details from the regular library. Any suggestions?
