This is rediculous. Ive just upgraded to HD Pro 2025, ONLY, because it said "Sill and threshhold control for openings". "explicit control of doors,windows, and openings" 

Turns out there is no additional contol in 2025 from 2023 in this regard. 5 years on... the window sill still Z-Fights when its recessed.

Regardless, I will logde another technical complaint regarding the window sills, and they will reply that because I dont I have PremierX14, that is apparently incompatible and blah blah blah. Why procliaim to have the fuctionanitly in PRO then?

 

2016 : Chief: cannot recces doors into a specified wall

2025 : Chief can only recess the door panel

 

2016 Chief cant do window sills

2025: Chief still cant do window sills. still Z fighting. 

 

2019 Apply gutter moulding, move the wall, cheif tells you none of their products had it.  WOW!

 

And seriously? Who's stupid idea was it to remove the library preview for all materials, only the selected  material is displayed! Do you have any idea how much longer this will take to find materials?

And its replaced with the stupid "details" tab ffs!!

You might get some help here if you ask instead of rant :)

That's easily removed.

You don't say what additional control you were expecting, but there are obvious improvements from 2024 to 2025.

Im aware I can remove the details tab. Im talking about the filters tab, where it no longer shows the sub-folders but everything in the entire volume instead of the folders!

 

I did say what additional controls I was epecting. Read my original again.

I was expecting explicit control over the window sills (as attached).  Why does the window sill still Z-fight with the wall? If you even bothered to try this with a default plan you'd know what Im talking about. In Pro 2025, build an exterior wall (any wall) Increase that wall to a 350mm depth from center. place a window with casing. Recess a 50mm depth window frame, 100mm from the exterior wall, then recess the window sill. change the casing colour. oh look. Z-fighting!  Im ranting because Id expect you and any other Pro User to know this and Ive been on about this for years! 

 

The gutter moulding problem according to Chief technical, is that I found a way to manipulate the software in a way that wasn't intented. If it wasnt intended, why have the option? Home designer suite did it no problem, so did Pro right up until 2023? So Chief removed the softwares ability to apply moulding to a gutter, but forgot to remove the ability to do do? Right.
