LynnBuilders Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Does anyone know how to create a direct vent gas fireplace in Chief X6? Or, is it possible to download fireplace catalogs that might include this other than those available on the Chief Architect website? All I can find is "Modern Fireplaces" there. Also, when I try to place a fireplace in the program I can't get it to be "within" a wall. I will only go on either side of a wall. Thanks!

Joe_Carrick Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 For metal fireplaces I use an "Opening" (Door or Window) in the wall and then move a Fireplace Symbol (Fixture or Appliance) into that opening and apply whatever facing I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This would be accomplished with the same "thought process" in CA as in the "real world". To set the unit "within" a wall you will probably have to make a "passthru" or "door" opening with no sill, jamb or casing in the wall where you want it placed and sized for the unit. I HIT THE "POST" HALF A DOZEN TIMES AND MY REPLY WOULD NOT POST. HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM?

Kbird1 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 yep had that problem too , was thinking that the forum must "time out" and not allow the reply as usually it is longer posts than yours it happens on... I usually copy my reply then hit post incase I lose it which has happened a few times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgfeher Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 same here - got tired of replying only to see it lost who knows where First time I've tried since then Edit: well that worked but it was a fairly short reply whereas my last attempts had more volume I also thought it might be a timeout type of issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLDrafting Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Once upon a time, there was a symbol for a side chimney vent. Not sure which version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens to me all the time! Sucks! Do what Kbird1 suggests, copy your reply to the "clipboard" before trying to post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I almost couldn't get on ChiefTalk today ... even had to call TS .... then it miraculously connected without ever figuring out why I was having so much trouble. PITB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
