I show an early method in this video: ...I also show another example in these two videos: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/2019-02-15_10-35-18.mp4.7f5f252f92b7df59673425bc4788b01e.mp4 https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/2019-02-14_16-52-05.mp4.b2a8ed1a0ce0383c2dab7f64f957344e.mp4 which are in this thread:

Steve and Perry, Uploaded this today: May be fun for you to try out in a kitchen and see what results come of it. Let me know!

POST 20 A starter pack to create templates for kitchen PBR ** each of these textures can utilize the "blend with material tool" to create a ton of additional materials** This includes the following library items: My recessed LED 6" cans specifically made to create more realistic light A re-worked version of my oak plank floor. (blend with dark brown for a great looking Dark Oak floor) A wall gyp bd and ceiling gyp bd specifically made to maintain shadows at the wall-to-ceiling transition...this will be subtle yet have a large impact on the scene. Remember to blend with your wall color.(this texture is size restricted to 10' max height) A white and a brown countertop material with special reflection maps White subway tile with grey grout- also blends with with most colors A glass material specifically made for round glass like bar-ware Appliance Nickel/Stainless Material A cabinet wood material that blends extremely well with other colors DOWNLOAD: RABS STARTER KITCHEN MATERIAL PACKAGE.calibz These materials were created from this video, a catchall video showing my process for creating some of these materials CLICK TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!

Not that know of- The material files I use in Thea use the same material diffuse/bump/normal/roughness maps as CA so that I don't need to constantly update both

Thanks as well.. do you happen to have a crappy render .plan to share ? Haha

Exactly what I was hoping for in a response, thank you very much. I know I wasnt very clear in the video but one of the major points is that I only have to setup these default materials once and then all subsequent kitchens etc. Will look good with only a few minutes time. I ended up saving all the materials to defaults after the video. I'll break a video into parts as suggested . Do you have a kitchen .plan file you could share? I could use it as an example

I don' disagree, I have no use for it working differently...just seems like an obvious glitch

This video is pretty long, looking for a ton of feedback so I can narrow down a direction and compile videos that will be meaningful to everyone. Going over some good tricks and tips for creating awesome looking scenes with little to no effort after templating

he passed 33 years ago, no worries, brings me joy to think about Kauai- I think next year I'll be going back, one of my favorite places in the world

There is an issue illustrated in his video, specifically that you can place a note in elevation and it won't show up in plan. So if you wanted to have the note in elevation and plan it doesn't seem possible when placed in elevation view.

Man I love Kauai. Been twice this last year.. My old man is buried there- Wife and I want to retire there someday Cheers!

BTW THANKS AGAIN FOR THE EMAIL..+1

Would you please post your .plan file and .layout file

seems to be a glitch, in elevation view the coordinates of the note are in Y and Z coordinates BUT if you open the note in question those same coordinates are listed under X and Y coordinates respectively

another vid! Larry I tried to focus a bit more on the benefit for the roof plan in particular 2019-02-15 10-35-18.mp4

Also, being able to keep macros contained to a New vs Existing plans really helps eliminate some difficult scripting. Say you have an existing window SHGC and U-Factor macro- I don't have to mess around with which windows are new or existing, or have to switch default windows etc..., I just get to drop it in a text box and it's done because the plans are split apart.

welcome, this has been a productive back and forth, thanks for your time as well. It's like I haven't fully grasped the weight of these methods to properly convey why I think they are so important. Hard to describe really. My template existing plan has default materials that blank out patterns and grey out walls. I don't ever need to go into a DBX for layer properties ever again! if it weren't for the User Library, I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE FULL SCREEN WOOOOO! 2019-02-14 16-52-05.mp4

beat me to it

An easy workaround with the new wall schedule- drop in a schedule and then hit this button from your toolbar: to open your interior wall type and edit or find in plan:

would you mind posting your .plan file?

Its "Ren-nay" but most people just call me Rab or Rabbitt Quick vid about elevations 2019-02-14 09-11-07.mp4

Joe I'm new to macros so I don't immediately see the use-case for what you are mentioning. Can you give an example of use for note-room attributes with OIP's?

My vids always take a while to process, maybe because I record in 1080? will be fuzzy for 10 minutes

this! +1 haha
