    I personally suggest that you change the location of your data folder as it is in the Documents folder which is a folder that by default in win 11 is on OneDrive and onedrive can cause problems with chiefs database system. You should call in to their support

    do you have any active filters in your search, please cancel any filters you have. on youre previous search you had bathroom mirrors and frames as an active filter

    select any item from any other catalog and choose to copy to user library, and see if you have a user library folder then

    none of those screenshots are showing your user catalog. Its been a long while since I had zero items in my user catalog but I believe by default it still shows up even if you have no items in it

    For beams and such you need an accurate model. Personal opinion that the trade off isnt there in terms of needing an accurate model vs needing a takeoff since i do not need an accurate model to produce condocs. That being said, what discrepancies are you running into? Would help to know what problem we might be solving for as some solutions might require macro or adjustment to material properties or the model etc.

    can you screenshot the part of your library that is the user catalog. It seems like you've already successfully installed these items which will be in your user catalog

    Would love it if you went here and explained why you too would love Layer based Fill Styles

    Can you screenshot any dialog messages you get when you try and import? Can you screenshot your library browser? I just dragged and dropped the file you uploaded and it installed right away

    2d is simply a representation of the 3d counterpart. Complex to get into the details of this but what you are asking for is editing the 3d mesh geometry of the object. The delete surface tool can temporarily delete clusters of polygons(based on the smoothing angle of the 3d object as designated in the 3d panel of the object). When you have temporarily deleted the surfaces you want to remove, then with the object still selected, choose convert selected to symbol from your edit toolbar.

    When Michael has a system that is applicable then I simply defer to him and promote his product. He's a good hard working guy that builds great systems and is so good to this community so its good to support each other here and give him the floor. If I could bother you though, curiosity has me...what is a use case for this for the electrical symbols? What are you showing on the different plan views?

    In X16 you can save a staircase to the library and then draw down using alternate draw mode(right click drag)

    don't listen to these know-it-alls Go to Edit/Default Settings/Walls/General Wall/ and change the option resize about to main layer outside. then turn off bumps (f11) and simply select your wall and drag to the construction line

    Chief Architect is located in Courdalene ID. I would reach out to them direct. Alternatively many of us can contract for remote work with ease.

    I would take a wild guess and say that the problem is in the nurbs plugin. I export models in volume to third party rendering programs that don't have any missing information unless I hit the export limit that is built into the 3ds protocol. Have you tried exporting as .dae? Also curious why you are exporting to Rhino instead of importing something from rhino into Chief?
  17. Renerabbitt
    yes, but keep in mind its a custom font I created
  18. Renerabbitt
    Did you try the solution in that post? It seems like it had more to do with the program reading the PDF
  19. Renerabbitt
    what are these? what was the process? what is the percieved problem?
  20. Renerabbitt
    This is easy to do with a macro in a label that has a conditional statement that looks at the active layer set of the item.
  21. Renerabbitt
    Im really not sure what you mean by this either. All of us use this software specifically for creating jpg and PDFs and this would be a massive issue if some clean up is required. I can export a 2d image just fine, can you give more info on this?

    Here is a new one: Timber Ridge Compressed.mp4

    This isn't one of my official shorts videos but still very much worth a watch
  25. Renerabbitt
    yes, thats just a polyline label, you would need to have polyline labels turned on
