  1. Suggest reading the docs and experimenting. Here is a link to some discussion on ChiefTalk https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?&q=global symbol mapping&page=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy
  2. Global Symbol Mapping is poorly explained and poorly understood. In any case, you need to create a new material set at the proper angle for each angle.
  3. Tools menu. Display Options If something does not display as you expect, check Display Options in the view where it's missing.
  4. Is the terrain set to display (Display Options) in your 3D view?
  5. Someone will need the plan file to investigate further, but it sounds like you have tried what I would try. Do you have another PDF print driver loaded? Bullzip and CutePDF are two that are often recommended. I'd try printing using one of them as a test.
  6. It looks like Line Weights were on when you sent to layout.
  7. Taking another look at the rendering and noticed this. You may be able to do this is Architectural. In Pro it's simple using the manual roof tools.
  8. For many questions, and especially for roof related ones, having your plan file to work with is helpful. Close the program before attaching, 14MB size limit so zip and/or remove extras like furniture, cars, plants and other as required. Pro has manual roof tools and can easily do this. It has the same automatic roof tools as Architectural which I used to create what you see below. The selected wall is set to Full Gable.
  9. It's there in newer versions. None that I know of. A Pro or Chief Architect user could open and save with that setting set. You could simply redraw.
  10. Please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. This makes it easier for others -- notice how mine shows in the forum. Custom Backsplash.
  11. Open a material -- CMU or brick, for example, and review the Materials List panel. Use one of these materials on a wall in a test plan and check the materials list to see what's captured. See the Pattern and Texture panels to see how a material might be resized for a more accurate visual representation.
  12. How are you "trying to find a path"? A quick web search returns links to conversion programs.
  13. Tip: Attaching a simple plan with a cabinet that demonstrates the problem would help others help you. Mentioning that you have already sent to support would be nice too.
  14. I'd send your plan to support. https://support.chiefarchitect.com/home
  15. Working in the library, you can simply copy a material and rename it.
  16. No, and it's been requested more than once.
  17. The program has a bunch of defaults. When you have a material assigned as a default, it shows up. Some materials, I think, are built in with no way to remove them.
  18. Upgrade to Pro 2023. Search the forum for similar questions -- asked and answered multiple times before. You cannot increase the page size but there is a workaround. Look at your dimension locate settings, and you can add/remove nodes manually on any dimension string.
  19. Lots of info in the Status Bar.
  20. Think about the tools you have available. Which ones let you apply a molding?
