Is the software installed on the laptop? If so you can deactivate the license from the current PC by going to chiefarchitect.com > My Account > Digital Locker, click Make Available, then log in on the laptop. If it's not installed, install the software first then do the above.

When I open your plan this is what I see. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? The post isn't clear to me what the problem is...

Since it's been a few hours allow me to answer for Rene. He used the Disconnect Selected Edge tool to disconnect the one segment of the polyline, then selected the remaining three segments and deleted those. The tool you pointed to removes the molding from that edge, but doesn't affect the polyline segment - he wanted to completely delete the three polyline segments.

Try a pony wall for the foundation:

Do you mean CPU ray trace? If so yeah it's gone. From X17 Help:

You should be able to control that by simply assigning to layers, eg: Washer on "Layer X" color gray, line 10, Dryer on "Layer Y" color black, line 30

The same way. You may have to create new layers to separate the walls onto, unless you already have multiple wall layers in your plan.

Your glass wall is connecting to the wall behind the wall material region, and the edge is buried under the tile: In plan view, place a Room Divider (Invisible) wall along the face of the tile, and pull the glass wall out to snap to it. This will connect the shower "room" to the rest of the bathroom - if you want to define the shower as a separate room, turn the room divider wall 90° to connect with the tile wall. I pulled the room divider wall out to the left more than needed for illustration:

Wall types, other than Foundation Walls, by default, are assigned to the Walls, Normal layer when created. However you can assign them to a custom layer after they're drawn, and then control the fill color through that custom layer. You can also set up custom layers for the wall types listed in Defaults > Walls, which those walls will then default to when created.

Yes, as Shane said just right click and copy the layer, rename. Then you want to do a couple of things to get your clouds on the new layer. If you already have a bunch of clouds, you can group select and open, then change their layer in the Line Style tab, but that only works for the sheet you're on; go to the next sheet and repeat. If you have clouds on multiple sheets, you can also use the Layer Painter tool to go around and change them individually without opening their dialog; the tool will stay active even when changes sheets, so you only have to set the tool once to go around your layout and change all the clouds.: If you want to have future clouds go to your new layer, set that up in Defaults:

The @solveraccount here seems to have been deleted. His last post on Hometalk was February 4, last visited June 3. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/profile/171-solver/content/ As his participation tapered off he would often delete his posts here in Chieftalk, not sure why.

The cool groovy part is how nice they look aesthetically, and how fast and easy it is. No one wants the architecture and building features changed, or a sidewalk for a driveway. But the images are very nice; just compare your AI image to your Chief image. But yeah that's the problem- so far it can't maintain building accuracy. At least not the free versions I've tried.

Yep

Try this: ^^ Set the Newel Width to whatever you want the spacing between the deck boards. ^^ Bottom Rail Width should match your ramp width, and Horiz. Offset should be half that. ^^ You will likely need to rotate the Azek material

When you find them please send my way. Haha I'm certainly no expert but the best "luck" I've had with this type of problem is using Elevation Lines across the slope at descending levels, and as often as needed to make it smooth. Here's an example. I drew one elevation Line at 1" below the upper level of the terrain, with additional elevation lines added using the Multiple Copy tool: .... at 6" intervals, and holding the copies to follow the angled wall. Then each line was set with 1" descending elevations, for a total lowering of 50". I'm sure you need something different, but this is how I would approach it - in your case, take the elevation at the top, and at the bottom, and use one Elevation Line for each inch of drop difference.
