    Upgrade Issue

    Check your Mouse - Orbit Camera (button on toolbar). Sometimes I need to use Center on Point.

    Upgrade Issue

    I've not seen any reports of this. Posting an image of the problem might help, or contact Chief support.
  3. You will be OK. The uninstall only removes the program, not your files.
  4. Yes, they can be deleted, like any other file.
  5. No. He would need to upgrade to Suite 2017.
  6. The Chief Architect forum is https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/
  7. If you are asking about the triangle shape above the angled soffit, use the inverted wedge shape from the library.
  8. Those are typically called winders. You can do them manually using multiple landings. Have you checked the Knowledge Base?
  9. Lots of previous discussion from users in the UK about this shortcoming.
  10. We discussed this type of siding and how to model it. Numerous ways to do the panels. Not sure a custom material is needed here.
  11. Have you given it a try? It looks like a house to me.
  12. Have you searched the forum? I remember discussing this sometime in the last year or two.
  13. Noticed you posted over on ChiefTalk too. With X8, that is where this needs to be discussed.
  14. @TGIVaughn If you are using Chief X5, you should be in the Chief Forum.
  15. No. It only works the other way -- more expensive titles can read plans drawn in less expensive titles. But -- see David's post below. I forgot about this feature in Pro.
  16. You will need Pro for fully manual roof tools. I believe Suite and Architectural have the same tools for roofs.
  17. You can use soffits, slabs, or the solid cube from the library. Place the fence, then with another solid shape to model the columns, place them as needed. If they are every 10', for example, place a column in the corner and use transform/replicate to copy it. There are CMU in the library. It's been hot up here in Heber/Overgaard, would hate to be in the valley.

    Posting a picture would help. How about using steps and a landing?

    Plumbing lines

    What would you want from a plumbing diagram? What if you designed it wrong? There are many variables that affect how plumbing gets installed, and you would need to account for them in the plan. And finally, would you expect a plumber to follow your plan???

    Graphics Problem

    Have you updated your graphics driver? What was wrong with Windows 10? From most reports, it's not perfect, but the best OS from Microsoft in a long time.
  21. You can drag the top and bottom of a wall up or down as needed, so you could fill in the gap either way. In any case, this would be a good question for tech support.
  22. Sometimes, you need to take an elevation view, select a wall and drag its edge into position. FixedFoundation2-2ndFloorTest (eric).plan
  23. You may, I believe, install it on an unlimited number of computers, but only one instance may be active. You can Activate/Deactivate via the website, or via the program. Your best answer will come directly from support at Chief. Also, do you have Home Designer, or Chief Architect?
