  1. Then draw a simple plan that demonstrates the problem. Maybe take one of the problem plans and downsize it?
  2. Chief has removed the Floor Camera from the toolbar in newer versions as a way of discouraging its use.
  3. Questions like this need to be directed to Chief.
  4. There are no rails on a Half Wall, but there is a Wall Cap which is fixed in size. Maybe this will give you some ideas.
  5. Send your plan and problem description and system specs to Chief. https://support.chiefarchitect.com/ They are in the best position to help with this problem.

    Mansard Roof

    Only one thing it could be -- the pitch is too steep.
  7. Best to contact Chief directly for this type of question.
  8. Good question for the people at Chief -- everyone here is a user just like you.
  9. What setting would cause the slab to automatically rebuild when you make a change?

    Mansard Roof

    What's wrong with the elevations? Is it the roof is covering the walls? Probably need to raise the roof.
  11. You are able to import molding profiles created in the Chief Architect products, or via the Bonus Catalogs, but none of the Home Designer titles are capable of creating a profile.
  12. There is no documentation for Home Designer. I'd contact Chief and ask. How do you manage revisions? You create a plan, then customer wants a change. Where is the change made? In the original, or do you make a copy with a new name? Are you printing from Layout or Plan?
  13. Probably depends on the purpose. There are macros that work in Layout like %date.short% I've shown here. I do not know of a list of these, or how they react when the date changes, for example. Tell us more about what you want to accomplish. Consider that typical work flow is to print to a PDF, then print the PDF.
  14. A screen capture showing the problem would help others help you.

    5-Panel Door?

    Check out the bonus catalogs -- lots of good stuff including a 5 panel door.
  16. Select a wall in elevation. Grab a corner handle and drag. Hold Control or the Mac equivalent to override snaps.
