    Took a glance at this, and am a little unclear as to what the deliverable is. This seems like just a straight CAD job that an autocad user could do. Are you looking for 3d topography and retention? Do you have this survey in a dwg format? Marking up a dwg survey is easy enough, building 3d topography with retaining walls is more work, what is the full scope of this job. the block from scratch-- Do you mean modeling the entire neighborhood block(not shown in PDF's) with neighboring parcels? services shown on a second copy--second copy of what exactly? second plan file, or put on an isolated layer or? third copy---so you need a before and after plan file, 3d? one without the retaining wall and one with the retaining wall? deliverable is just a pdf?

    could show you how to build this in chief if you ever wanted to would need a custom schedule and macros. Pretty cool MM

    People can always remove the 3d column... This was more for illustrating the font remapping
  4. Renerabbitt
    You're missing a step then. Explode it if it came in as a cad block ...else make sure it's a closed polyline. Can't convert a open polyline to a solid

    New #Youtube Shorts video about building an arched alcove the fast and easy way in Chief Architect X17 This is in my SHORTS playlist for quick #instructionaldesign videos. Enjoy!

    I'm doing it a bit differently Joe. I am actually remapping for full height superscript and rich-text like outputs:

    Ended up figuring out something else, but I’ve got another question for you so windows, doors, cabinets, and rooms will all go look at a hash full of user options on how and the end-user wants to display their labels and what conventions are used and then all of those objects, then get pushed to a remap function Which remap some of the character outputs to a different part of a font, and it turns out that this was creating a major bottleneck..a lineup if you will at the font remapped which pushed me to change the user options to a global hash as well as the font remapped to a global call But can you think of maybe another method for the font remapped to keep it lightweight and accessible without having to write it into each individual macro that utilizes its function? Can a lambda be accessed simultaneously by all objects like a global can?

    Who has some clever methods to initialize globals without the need of opening an object? I would love it if I didnt have to remember to open something in order for my schedules to populate from initalized macros. I know Joe has asked for this a billion times. Has anyone come up with workarounds?

    The pro 3 camera is very accurate since it mixes photogrammetry and a professional grade lidar sensor. Lidar from your phone will be very poor. Lidar on exterior is ok for somet things, though I personally don't see a ton of need there. I will say it only takes me 2-4 hours with a helper to measure an entire place directly into chief and take photos and do a phone lidar scan for backup.

    Certainly. I typically order a matterpak which is an obj file conversion of the matterport scan then I slice it in blender as well as decimate it. Then import in units of meters as a symbol and save it in a plan file that youwill reference. Reference it so that you arent constantly rebuilding a heavy scene. (The scan can be a 1M poly on up)

    Export your project to Dropbox and sharit..just keep in kind you may want to delete the project from project management after you export since it will be an outdated copy once your colleague imports and works on it

    You CAN however safely write a script for task scheduler to backup these files to another drive when chief architect is not running
  18. Renerabbitt
    The backup takes a long while and it prompts you before it performs and it will lock you out of using Chief until it completes. You would know it if it were backing up

    Of happens when using custom wall types as well. Use the edit area tool and paste into new plan is the only way I know how to save the work
  20. Renerabbitt
    Not entirely true

    I believe I responded to this previously and never heard back. Years have passed of course, but I could offer this service for you easily enough:
  22. Renerabbitt
    Yes completely agree..you were there last year when dan baumann asked for that in class. Specifically for wall stepping. Also would be great if we could just set any object to cut finish layer including default room moldings. Then your custom molding would be perfect

    The reason I don't do a pony wall method is because often times I need to use a pony wall for other reasons, such as a brick pony wall Otherwise yes this works
  24. Renerabbitt
    What method are you using to derive ceiling heights?
  25. Renerabbitt
    send me the scan and I can take a look. click on the link that says "colorized" which will download a sizable zip file. Upload it to the cloud and kick it over to renerabbitt@gmail.com and I will post a video here to illustrate why it may not have worked. If it is workable I will give you a fair price on converting it or you can of course get some other pricing in the seeking services
