Like crap. But, in my defense, the OP's picture appears to be Standard view.

SketchUp Pro 2019 provides geolocation: You can plop the mass model down over the imagery. The Origin is the referenced lat/lon, which provides a reference for drawing/importing/locating the survey data. If you know the lat/lon of one of your survey points you can manually set the geolocation as well.

Corner windows still work the same for me in X11:

Everything Glen said; plus if you don't want the annoying return (on the right-hand side of the gable), then open the garage wall and uncheck Roof>Auto Roof Return:

Adjust the line weights in your Wall Definition, which currently has the interior layer weight 5 points greater than the exterior layer:

You can only modify the User Catalog.

I think the quickest method would be use a polyline solid for the arched parapet section. However, you can also use curved roof planes (with 0" Surface and Structure values) to control the height and shape of the arched parapet, then use a 3D Molding Polyline for the trim:

Use the Break Line tool on the lower gable roof form to pull the eave back in the area of concern; this will allow the wall below to extend to the high roof.

I suggest posting the .dwg file for us to examine. -
Anyone else experiencing program crashes on the new update
rlackore replied to Renerabbitt's topic in General Q & A
Yes, I've had a CTD a few times after the latest update. -
Have you tried the Bumping/Pushing icon to toggle the behavior on/off? I have mine set up with a hotkey [S,B].

I've submitted this issue to tech support, but I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this problem. When printing a layout page using Chief Architect Save As PDF there is considerable file bloat when the page includes an embedded PDF document. A page printed without a pdf is 40kb. A page printed with test.pdf is 1,152kb. The pdf is only 37kb; this is an increase of 2,780%! A page printed with test.pdf obscured is 1,153kb. So even though the print engine isn't rendering the PDF, the PDF is still impacting the size of the printed output. I use PDFs extensively throughout my Layouts, so this anomaly greatly affects my ability to share files via email, Dropbox, etc. Does anyone know how to prevent the bloat?

Use Copy/Paste with Point to Point Move. If you set up hot keys it's pretty quick.

Works for me also (I reduced the width of the transom by 1/2" so that the jambs and casing align):

European Copper is out of Tulsa. European Copper Chimney Pots.calibz The material assigned is Chief's standard Brushed Copper; the real pots have a patina, but I don't have a good texture replacement.

Agree. I model the timber frame elements separately from the building walls.

IBC, are closet doors considered in means of egress?
rlackore replied to Renerabbitt's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
I'm coming to this late, but how much greater than 10sqft? If you can fit a person inside, then I'd interpret the space as an Accessory Storage Area (1 occupant per 300 gross sqft) and you'd need at least a 32" door for exiting. Further, if it can be considered an essential part of an employee work area, then it may need to be accessible and would need a 36" door. -
Two simple symbols: a 4" insert for utensils, etc. and a 8" escutcheon for trash/recycle holes: insert.calibz escutcheon.calibz ...and if you want the 6-valve bev dispenser, here you go: bev.calibz

I don't know about a fence. I'm not sure you can get a railing wall to follow a slope.

One method is to use ramps. After the shape of the wall is set, draw ramps and manipulate the settings as required. In this example I have two ramps, one for the horizontal section of wall, and another for the sloped section of wall: It can be difficult getting the ramp heights set properly - the ramp dialog isn't very friendly - but once you understand the basics it goes quickly.

If you're looking for a display control unit, here's a generic one: homeautopanel.calibz

Just curious, why didn't you use the Quadlock floor throughout? Cost? Spans? Floor performance?
