DeLayDesign Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Did we change how Dishwashers work? Chief is no longer allowing me to place it 'in a cabinet'. However I did notice that placing the dishwasher next to a cabinet extends the countertop across it without issue. I'm OK with this change if this is normal. Is this a feature we can duplicate if we import objects as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rationale being it better reflects how dishwashers are actually installed in the field -- between base cabinets in an empty space with countertop spanning across rather than the dishwasher as part of a base cabinet.

I saw in there presentation video from last week, that the DW is now a standalone, does not need a cabinet (which is how its supposed to be). I believe she also said the countertop auto fills in. Dang, Jim beat me to your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archnot-Boltz Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 So far, I'm more than a bit underwhelmed. Excuse me for not controlling my excitement.-bB Was expecting and hoping for more items like the new ability to display stairs on the floor above. The dishwasher thing is good but not life altering, The angle snaps 90d & 45d are (I guess) the Ortho Lock many of us have been asking for, for many years (thanks). 3d editing of molding polylines is cool (especially if it works in conjunction with 3d dimensioning) but I'd still like to see auto/user definable downspouts. Text annotation on 3d views eliminates having to notate on the layout sheets. I guess we are a rendering program for kitchen designers? Still waiting for deck stair framing but do like that we finally got the sill plate out of the foundation wall height specification. Still don't have the ability to put lites in a standard parametric garage door............ -bB 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobert Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Chief_Architect_Premier-27.0.3.81-Win64 did not install correctly for me, Chief_Architect_Premier-27.0.3.82-Win64 does install without hanging during Removing Backup Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief_QA Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 We had an installer issue on some systems which we fixed with the 27.0.3.82 build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeyP Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I downloaded the beta on my mac. It wants me to make my x16 key available. I would wait for full release, but I really want to use the new wrapping schedules. I was hoping to still use x16 as a backup if there are too many bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I am not sure how it works on the MAC but you should be able to use x17 and then close it out and jump back on to x16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem switching back & forth from X16 to x17Beta for me. I just made sure to turn off the new Project Management mode/feature and don't save while looking at any ongoing x16 projects.-bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krichmond Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I tried to install x17 on my mac (currently have x16) and I got an error that says It's unable to open b/c the application is not supported on my computer. Has anyone else seen this? x16 had no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefArchitect Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Hello, @Krichmond, I believe you are running into this error because Intel based Mac computers are no longer supported (starting with X17). From our System Requirements page: "Macs containing standalone Intel graphics are not supported. See Known Incompatibilities & Supported Mac Models" If your Mac is not Intel based, please reach out to our Tech Support so we can look further into the issue. You can reach us at 208-292-3400. Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
