I’ve had hanging CA issues in past that had to do with other virtual display drivers such as duet or teamviewer. Worth checking

You can always block a slab-poly and click to treat it as a cabinet in the dbx. Then go to your cab schedule and check to include "other" Saying this from memory, should be close to correct

Hard to describe these. Beautiful in plan and 3d line views. even workable in elevations. will adjust transparencies on request. Perfect for color illustration over/under-lays. click this link: RABBITTS CAD TREES.calibz and as always, enjoy!

They use type II dryers, next page of the link I provided

This is an excerpt from San Diego's 2013 code changes Richard pointed out the correct code for type 1 dryers. There may be some work around's that may or may not be worth the effort. The city can approve a manufacturers allowed installation parameters. Take a look here: http://epubs.iapmo.org/2016/CMC/mobile/index.html#p=129

No easy way to do it..I added it to the suggestions forum a couple of weeks ago for the second time. Easiest method for me is to setup anno/layer sets to have all layers off 'cept the layer you wish to print. Send one sheet to the layout and print to PDF. Then switch anno/layer sets and print to PDF again. The using a PDF software like acrobat pro, You can combine and properly switch off layers(tutorials are on the web) Here's an example one I did real quick: Fell Street Electrical Reference.pdf Note that without inserting buttons(HTML etc) to manage layers, web viewers don't typically allow you to turn them on and off. Making it an added layer of complication

anyway back on topic..I'm willing to throw this rendering in Thea and export at whatever reso you need. Small fee would just be for my computers down-time

VERY NICE...I literally just emailed a guy about a 24-120 f4 VR that's why i asked

What lens were you using here?

Could achieve the effect with a png file with transparency, a pattern file for vector views and bump/normals/ambient occlusion maps...if your'e on SSA I'm assuming you're up to x10 and your sig just hasn't been updated? If you make a quick cad sketch of what you want I would help you out

Nice find! +1

Please post your plan file so we can take a look Typical terrain issues come from too complex a calculation from the terrain engine. Space out your elevation data, use greater intervals, use less elevation data. When you dial it back and have a rough terrain model in place you can then start working in details while error checking

I just looked at the images you posted, I responded based on the plan file which seems to be outdated. The terrain problem you note in our images does not exisst in the corresponding plan file

need to draw proper contours using the terrain elevation tools such as elevation splines. Treat it as if you are building a topo map. Butting two flat elevation regions together makes chief do exactly that, model two flat regions.

Id be willing to tackle this for a fee. Would import the 3d model into an external software. You will get a ton of artifacts using just chief as the textures are very low resolution

Set your railing as a panel style and set the balusters and rails to the specs of your iron posts and rails. Then in 3d place the railing I made and use the material grabber tool to paint the custom material on the curved panel of the railing you just made. The only problem will be that the material paints on both sides of the panel. It should suffice for a client who isnt overly particular

Joe, I'm in line with Perry on this, some plan checkers may just not be up to speed. New energy code requires new framed assemblies meet a U-factor greater than batt cavity fill can achieve on its own. This is a Screenshot from Energy Code Ace: Richard was right on the money in his post. These requirements will be commonplace soon enough for new construction if they aren't already. CA energy commission is tackling the thermal envelope this bout.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, x10 only I believe. PBR is physically based rendering. It is a camera method like vector or glasshouse in X10

LOL, sounds good to me If anyone just wants this in normal 3d, use the "adjust material definition" tool and go to the properties tab and delete the metal map. Without the metal map the gold will not look gold in PBR

Buy me a California Lunch? Ornate Railing Panel and Fixture.calibz Click link above. Two files included, one is a railing panel that is best used placed inside an open railing the second is a standalone fixture with railing included. Modify stretch planes as needed Built for PBR...doesnt look as good in standard view, need to pull out metal map if you just want standard 3d view

would help a tremendous amount if it had a contrasting backdrop like a red/green or white sheet. Gold on gold is so hard to cut the background

my two cents...samsung's 960 m.2 ssd is worlds faster than some of the fastest sata 6 ssd's. Worth every penny to me. My desktop used to run on a samsung 850 pro, and now it's on a 960 EVO...HUGE difference

The solution is in my previous post.. you set your imported cad line on a layer other than general cad which will not automatically change the layer to terrain perimeter. Your terrain is on the layer CAD, plot plan in 3d view

please post your plan so we can take a look..my guess is that your cad line you converted to a terrain perimeter may be on the layer set that cad line was originally drawn on

terrain/build terrain..check to see if that works
