BenPalmer Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just installed latest patch and just did an 'edit area all floors' and it has a HUGE bug...when it is creating copies of all the openings on the walls it's intersecting. Can others verify? Verified this on multiple plans...easily reproducible on my 2 computers. How do I uninstall the patch to get this working? Need a fix ASAP...use this tool like crazy when designing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just re-use the last Versions' Installer to re-install it ....you may need to uninstall the current version (???), so backup your Chief Data Folder 1st. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without a Macrium Reflect Full System backup just in case..... You can actually just rename the Chief Data folder ( while Chief is Closed ) , and reinstall Chief , then delete the new Data Folder when done and rename the old one back to the Original name and all should be well. As far as I know Chief does not remove the .ini file which is at C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Chief Architect Inc in case you reinstall Chief but you could also make a backup of that folder too just in case.....that's the file that holds your Preferences, toolbar settings etc , so it is likely a good folder to back up anyway for safekeeping. ( thanks for the reminder - copied to ext. HDD) as you can see I have played a bit with installations here, the _Clean folders are actually renamed newly installed folders I kept for access to default clean templates etc when needed : I am just not sure if the Installer will allow an overwrite, ( you may get "a newer version is installed" error) so you may need to uninstall the new version 1st. Of course you need to have saved the Previous Versions' Installer locally as it is not on the Website now. Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeGia Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 How about a system restore to a point before the new install was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 This is why I always save a copy of every installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Great find Ben. This is a huge problem and can really mess up a plan fast. Chief please fix ASAP! Just tried it and not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPalmer Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Yeah, I have a copy of the previous installer and daily backups of all Chief files...but reinstall still makes me nervous, previous state seems like a good option as well...hopefully there is a quick fix soon and I can just work on projects that I don't need edit area on until then...thanks for everyone's input.

I agree with you Ben. I get nervous about changing the program. I don't need a messed up program. Too busy. I just won't use that feature which could cause major slow-downs. I like you don't need to use it right now. Hope it's fixed soon...I mean FAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get a message telling us we aren't using the most up-to-date version of CA, and not just auto install correct? That's the way past updates have been issued.

To clarify, there is not an updated patch yet, I should have worded that as 'thanks for informing us that you are aware and working on it'. When the update does come out, the fastest way to get it is to go to the help menu and follow the links and download and install (not automatically installed). The software will eventually notify us of an update, but it isn't always right away, so the help menu gets you there faster. Hopefully they notify us on this thread when it is out so that we get an email notification of such and install it before we are notified. Hope that helps.

Correct....... you need to download any updates and run the installer,they are not automatic, So you won't have this issue if you have not installed the latest patch yet. Being notified of updates is based on the Update setting in Preferences and as far as I know is checked once a day on opening Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
