  2. also this for some reason is for a different version of the software
  3. I couldnt post a pic in our message exchange so posting here: woulld use an image for the base of this and cut the faces way down. 15K is so much for a sink
  4. you could take it even further and make it dependent on a suffix in your file name or change by zip code or many other approaches. ChatGPT will take you so far but also more complex macros chatgpt butchers..still recommend training with Mike
  5. first off, mike is the man, love it when I get to read through his approach on anything macros...I believe he may still do ruby training so hit him up I would add in some variables in the beginning in case you ever expand your method and maybe some conditions. # Copyright Rabbitt Design 2024 ########################################################################################## # Rabbitt Design assumes no liability for the accuracy of the occupancy calculations or # any consequences arising from the use of this script.

  6. very challenging to do as you would need all door sizes in order to keep the reeds the same size when a cabinet is 24" wide vs 9" wide for instance. Best approach here is using a reeded material so that it is generative based on width
  7. well, 6'8 is code minimum because its allowable...same height of clearance as a door which we all have to walkthrough. Without knowing the implications of the structural change its possible you could put a flush beam, consult an engineer.
  8. This is a code minimum is what I am referring to: It looks as if you have a structural support above your first riser which requires 6'8 min.
  9. haha, this is a mac problem only. I know Ryan Gardner has put in some serious time with chief for a patch
  10. take a look at what DB said or you can customize your toolbar and add the auto interior dimension tool
  11. I believe you might be using the auto exterior dimension tool as opposed to the auto interior dimensions tool. For setting the auto interior dimensions tool, go to your active dimension defaults and change auto room settings to surfaces
  12. please post your .plan file so we can take a look. Can't tell about the railing without seeing the plan though I have some guesses. For your stairs, draw the stairs using alternate draw mode(right mouse click) This will draw the stairs down, thus changing the reference elevation
  13. best if you post your plan file. The return roof plane has been moved so the baseline is not snapped to your main wall layer. There are some other things a bit off as well possibly. try posting the .plan
  14. post spacing, newel positioning, architectural software, deck railing design, construction detailing, beam to post setup, architectural adjustments, dimension setting, railing customization, partition wall setup, construction software tutorial
  15. Use the auto detail function. this is correct as you this is a cross section view and the cutting plane goes through your foundation walls. Auto detail will poulate a CAD polyline with fill that matches your settings for those walls.
  16. didn't quite understand the question, can you explain the problem further?
  17. Certainly, although you might post your plan here so everyone could benefit from the guidance. Sometimes if a roof is simple enough we will do it and demonstrate the methods used in a video and share it back
  18. you should share these..as a community we come up with some pretty cool solutions but we have to know the problem I always love a good challenge
  19. Happy to take care of any of your Chief Macro needs. Custom conditional macros that drive custom schedules and much more. Automatic and user configurable pricing systems, custom schedules, callout linking systems, external file based macros and much more.
  20. would need to know more about this, a floor material region should work just fine or split your room with a room divider
  21. you are either using a rendering mode or camera that is vector based or you have textures turned off. I am guessing the former. Which camera are you using?
