Csnrv2019 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Friends I have done something to our program that I cannot seem to figure out in regards to our dimension settings and showing things by defaults and preferences, and I just want to reset everything! Basically, I would rather just start it all over and begin again fresh with the entire program to the defaults it came with new! Can this be done? If so how? Should I just uninstall and reinstall? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Resetting the New Plan Default Template back to Chief's OOB Residental Template.plan file should put the Default back to factory settings (OOB) if you have corrupted it by accidentally saving your Defaults to it , there is a copy in the Chief Program Folder > Templates too. If you are trying to fix one File ? import the Defaults from the OOB Residential Template to "reset" the current Plan You can also reset Preferences Etc if that is the issue ? A reinstall should fix that too .....rename the Chief Data Folder in My Documents 1st though so Chief Creates a new one and refreshes everything.

Csnrv2019 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 I appreciate both of you and didn't mean to cause anyone to have to diagnose the problem, as I have worked on it and struggled for several days with it. My auto dimensions are locating it seems nearly everything for whatever reason 75 % of the home? Why is it doing this? How can I get it to stop? I have used auto dimensions to easily toggle them off on and not draw manual dimensions all the time. That's why I wanted to just get it back to the default and I could stop searching for a fix. If you have a fix I am willing to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) The Dimensions are all on the Framing-Floor dimensions layer ? switch to ALL OFF layerset, Turn on Dimensions Framing-Floor Shift select them all and delete.. *The previous advice works as well to get rid of them though ? what did I miss?

I deleted them... and reset Defaults Correct > now turn on Dimensions> Framing Floor Only in the ALDO and delete them. *** Delete Objects works though too and is easier ...I thought it hadn't worked for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 On your "Floor Plan Dimensioned Layer Set", turn off the display of the "Dimensions, Framing - Floor" layer - the unwanted dimensions are your floor framing dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
