If the work can be done long distance, I can help you from Texas. DJP

What the person meant was to go to your "Locker" and then download and reinstall the software to repair anything missed the first time. Of course and you should Absolutely not. I have Versions 7-X11 on my PC as well as several Home Designer software titles, I just keep the different version plan and layout files separate, done it for many years. DJP

Plan Views have a "Display Options" Dialog where objects on named layers can be turned on or off (visible or invisible). Each Camera Type has its own "Display Options" dialog where objects on named layers can be visible or not visible at your choice. This has been true in every Version of Chief Premier since the beginning. DJP

In Chief Architect Premier, the command is found under "File - Export - 360° Panorama". This was true in X10 and is still true in X11. If you are asking about something else, then clearly say so. DJP

I shared all I had with you already; DJP

I agree with Eric, contact Chief to download the X8 Viewer or whatever they recommend. DJP

Your best shot is to reinstall X10 and help him in X10. A lot of my Business is predicated upon working with others who have not upgraded, I have Versions 7-21 on my PC and I have clients who mainly use either Home Designer Software or older, unupgraded versions mainly X1, X8, X9, and X10. You just maintain lots of hard drive space and keep your PC clean and maintained. This is the only safe way to work with people who do not upgrade. DJP

I can help you from Austin, Texas if you like. DJP

The camera view where the floors are missing, I would guess is a "Floor Camera" render. The "Floor Camera" is pre-programmed to exclude everything that is not ON the floor where the camera viewpoint is created. Therefore you probably have pre-programmed by accident or on purpose unknowingly the floors are "Provided by the foundation layer below" and in a "Floor Camera" view would not by default show floors that the foundation level provides. That is my supposition based on what you have shown. Use a "Full Camera" or set your "Room Specification Dialogs - Structure Tab - Floor Under This Room" instead of what you are doing that does not work. DJP

Thank you for your patience, I have it now! DJP

Thank you, I am not sure what you are showing as the "Fireplace", exactly what I am speaking of is the "Fireplace" that existed under the "Build - Masonry Fireplace" tool for many versions, now just deleted from the "Build" menu in X11. Is that what you are showing? and if so, where did you find it in X11 please? DJP

Thank you, your post reminded me that i can add it from x10, plan to plan to Library Browser but I also think that their apparently eliminating that tool is rather weird after all these years and versions of having it in the "Build Menu". DJP

The "Help Files" say that the fireplace tool has been removed from the "Build Menu" (not very helpful, thank you). Where is the thing now, please? Anyone figured this out yet? Please help an old man. DJP

I use a software program called "Handy Back Up" to back up my plans on a daily basis, I also use One Drive and Carbonite as a redundant backup service. I have One Drive with my Office Suite but it does not reliably back up daily like Carbonite, that is why I also use Handy Back Up in concert with One Drive. I like One Drive for also for sharing large files with clients. DJP

I am no genius, I just noticed that fact after years of trying to edit and straighten out the terrain, an empirical fact. DJP

HTH DJP

No problems with my rig. DJP

The shared .dwg does not show any of the floor plan or elevations of this intended home. Is this all you have to offer as help? DJP

I looked at a trial version of Revit back when it first came out in 1999. I thought to myself "nice try but no thanks".(I had been using Chief for five years then. I never looked back. DJP

I can help DJP

I will delete the .zip file (which is a huge file) and upload individual library files that you can download, one at a time. That should make it easier on your internet connection. The "User File" library is over 2 GB but all the others are a lot smaller. They are still uploading as I write (6:02 PM CST) DJP

The "User Library" is uncompressed and the "Library Files.zip is. DJP

Here is a link to my One Drive account which will lead to over 7 Gb of X5 Library and User Library files:https://1drv.ms/u/s!As4dA60og8JIrJ0n9Y0gfKqBKGCRzA?e=ocxwFy It will be available for one week only, after that time, I will delete the files. DJP

All visual-virtual objects in Chief Architect are parsed on screen (shown or seen visually) by placing a series of triangles to represent/emulate actual objects (doors, windows, furniture, fixtures). The more detailed a symbol the more of these "triangles" are used to represent the actual object digitally. The number of 3D faces is also expressed as a "Count" (total number of 3D Faces or triangles that a symbol contains as a whole). DJP
