There is one in the "Design Style No.1 Maximalism / Biophilia" library

It's named "Sigmund" instead of Eames

Thanks Steve !

I wont mention all the time I spent avoiding obvious solutions.

OK, I'm stumped here. I've created a lowered floor. I would swear in the past that the room divider automatically provided the finish between floor platforms, but I can't figure out how to make it generate. The checkbox for "Generate between flor platforms" is selected.

Any ideas how the automate the finish between floor platforms?

I upgraded immediately and never had an issue with X12 crashing.

Chopsaw has your most likely answer above in the 2nd reply.

Make it with a molding polyline.

For this one I needed to make a copy of the shingle material and rotate it 90 degrees.

Make sure the molding profile for your flare is a closed polyline.

As Michael said, this is related to the monitor.

Try creating and locking the arrangement on the monitor that has either the smallest size or the lowest resolution.

Look through plan, elevation, section, and 3D views as part of setting up your arrangement. Any one of those views might have a unique toolbar that pops up only in those views and creates a conflict with the toolbars you've arranged in plan view. Toolbars can be view specific.

Always move the site. I even created a layer set called "Move House Set" that isolates all the layers than need to move with the site.

Hi David - Sent you a PM.

I use DC.

For more robust editing I use a vector graphics program called Inkscape. It's drawback is importing one page at a time.

Here's and article summarizing the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) regulation of the practice of “plan stamping”.

The AIA Code of Ethics states:

Rule 4.102

Members shall not sign or seal drawings, specifications, reports, or other professional work for which they do not have responsible control.
Commentary: Responsible control means the degree of knowledge and supervision ordinarily required by the professional standard of care. With respect to the work of licensed consultants, Members may sign or seal such work if they have reviewed it, coordinated its preparation, or intend to be responsible for its adequacy.

Now that's better. Thanks for the help.

A change in elevation in not required in the IRC. (Can't speak for NY codes)

17 hours ago, solver said:

Molding profiles should be closed, except for an exception or two.

This fixed it. Thank you Solver! You are a genius.

I did have this problem before X-12, but ignored it then.

Also, to retain the curve the CAD curve needed to be converted to a polyline.

I have a molding polyline of a shingle flare. The shingle hatch is one I made and have been using for years. It appears fine in standard and vector view on the orthogonal portions. On the curved part of the flare the hatch disappears only in vector elevation views. Hatch pattern shows in vector 3D views.

Anyone else experience this before?

BTW - I'm also submitting this to support.

Rene - good technique - thanks for sharing !

Architecture schools don't structure their programs around a specific piece of software. In fact, most will start you off learning how to draw by hand.  Architecture school is meat to teach you how to design and allow you to learn the technical side of the profession. The tool you choose to draw with is often up to you. I am an Adjunct Professor and teach a third year design studio at an accredited BARCH program. Most of the students in my class use Rhino, some use SketchUp, all take AutoCAD as one of their courses. 

I would say you will find an aesthetic you are content with for drawings in Chief, but it may involve some concessions.

Michael - how did this resolve?

(Now that it's popped back in my feed I'm curious.)

I don't think it's required either.

Assuming you are IRC, R308.4.5 makes no mention of toilets.

None of the glazing in your plan is requited to be tempered. (Though if you flip the sink and the window, the window might possibly need safety glazing.

Nearly related and FWIW, I found this clarification from ICC enlightening.

I've used it with no problems.

(I'm no help for troubleshooting I guess...)

Is it's layer turned on in the camera view?

You may want to post the plan. That will keep us from guessing.

ChiefTalk upload limit keeps me from uploading the second zip.
