Heather_Anderson Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I am experiencing this all of a sudden too. Both plans have bay windows too. Is this a X15 problem. I have used Chief for 23 years and it has never happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKEdmo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Can again confirm issue. Just happened on plan I'm working on. And yes, a bay window is in the plan. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 As an observation... I may have found the glitch. Initially I thought that it was the result of bring an X-14 plan into X-15. Not so. This occurrence happens on "out of the box" brand spanking new plan files. So... if by chance you may delete "Living Area" there appears to be a direct correlation to losing not some but ALL of the room labels. Thankfully it's become easier to rectify by holding the shift key after selecting one room. Then you can click, click, click and get every room to highlight. Turn on room labels all at once with the opened dialogue box for that one room. Anyway... lesson learned is not to delete the Living Area. This has happened far more times than it should have. Ideally X-16 will have corrected this bug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much faster to select a room and just use Marquee Select, Select All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Thank you Mr. T! In terms of SH Canada's comment... It's a mystery. Below is a theory, but 100% plausible. In toggling back and forth between an "Architectural" plan w/ room labels vs. the "Structural" plan w/ no room labels ... The toggling between the layer set of "no room labels" may be causing the glitch where Living Area appears and then disappears. When Living Area goes missing... so do ALL of the room names in the layer set where they had previously existed. Living Area happens to be under the layer (of all things) "Room labels". Placing Living Area under a new dedicated layer seems to have resolved the disappearing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't figured out the trigger for this problem. But I did learn about this great tool, thank you! However, I did realize when using this to "select all similar" that the bay window area shows as a room even though I can't select it as such with the tab key. Maybe this is what is causing the issue? Not sure who to tag from Chief to suggest as the potential issue or if I have to fill out a new support ticket.

Huh, guess I'd never noticed it did that. It makes sense that the Bay Window is making it's own room, if you Explode the bay that's exactly what you'll have. Weird that Select Similar is able to select it when we can't, though. Seems the Select All option isn't ideal then if there are Bay, Box, or Bow windows present, would need to just do the normal Marquee Select and be careful to avoid those.

Victoria_Aida Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Hi everyone, I just wanted to report that this is happening to me as well - about 8 times in the last 24 hours of working on a design for a client.... its pretty frustrating. This never happened to me before X15 and to answer a previous comment further up the thread, i do not have any box or bay windows in this drawing. I hope it gets resolved quickly as I don't have the time to keep re-doing it. -aida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try getting the beta to see if it still happens for you. If it does, then you should probably report this to Chief tech support and not just post on the forum.
