Ironically, I had to uncheck the box, move to (0,0) origin, and it worked!

I'm trying to import this survey dwg file and nothing is coming over. This does happen often. Anybody know what to do? ProblematicObjectUtility.cpp(167): Warning #272032858 "195 object(s) are too far away from the origin. We recommend that you delete them or move them closer to the origin, but they will not keep their position relative to other objects in your plan." 03/12/2025 04:23:46 PM Build: 26.3.0.10 macOS Intel 1521 Yonge Street_2018.dwg

Do you have a recommendation of what type or brand of mouse to get?

how did you do that?

thanks Eric. That was perfect. I wish there was a way to do (2) top rails. a vertical 2x4 and a top cap. Any ideas?

Would anyone be interested in building this railing and posts for me.

I'm looking to hire part-time or full-time for a designer position for Charleston, SC area. If you have Chief experience, design experience and basic construction knowledge, please contact me at Scott@Alphahomedesign.com

Found a great Video at https://www.chieftutor.net. I signed up for his membership. Definitely worth it. Basically found out that my graphics card is junk. Thanks everyone for the tips and ideas.

Need some Rendering advise. I hate how its so dark and lights are spotty on ceiling and weird light reflection on floor. I added a bunch of extra lights, but doesn't seem like it does anything. Thanks in advance for any help. Scott

That worked. Never would of thought to do that. Thanks a bunch.

I attached the template. Thanks brick house 8 ceilings.plan

I created my own template for a brick house. If I change a wall to siding 4, the wall will still show the brick material. Anybody have any advise? the siding on my siding 4 should be white hardi board. See picture.

Every time I lower a garage floor, the foundation on the house also gets lowered and will have a higher stem wall. I want the stem wall of the house to stay the same and just lower the garage.

Has anybody figured out what the "lock floor bottom" or "top" do in x10? I've tried to play around with it, and its not doing anything for me. Trying to lower a garage floor, and keeping the house foundation the same.

Need help to create a railing in a doorway like attached picture. Do I have to custom make the railing as a molding? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks gentlemen .

My house plan is basically done, but want to add a foot to the center of the house. Is there an easy way to do this on all levels of my house?

Would like to help. I live in Charleston and I have an engineer that I work with that can stamp the plans also. Please call me at 843-284-3110

Does anyone have a design checklist they would like to share? Thanks.

Need help getting your plans done for permitting? I'll be glad to help. I'll design to the IRC codes in your area. Quick turn around. Contact me at scott@alphahomedesign.com 58 gibbs addition sample.pdf

Got it. Thanks for your help.

ok. I'll have to play with that. What level is your deck on and what level did you build the invisible walls.?

Winders don't work. You would think Chief would make this a lot easier. The stairs don't turn which is what I can do with a winder. I just need to angle each step.

I'll try that. Thanks

maybe not. I want a nice straight line from 6' to 9'. it keep wanting to curve them. is there a way to turn that option off?
