Sorry for the harshness in my writing. mildly frustrated but certainly not an issue I created Hard links to my unmanaged substance folder so that will work. Would be nice to handle subfolders in this system better still if it could be navigated in the way that the library browser can be navigated and organized...nudge nudge. I have 500 SBSAR files, haha

Why would you manage a folder that has the ability to automatically load custom substance maps? This is the only way for us to populate all of our substance graphs in the drop down menu of that utility...which is the main benefit of this feature. Please consider not managing the folder or giving us some way of choosing a substance folder the same way we can choose our unmanaged backdrops folder

just send the view as a stacked view, you dont technically need to ever send a plan with a reference view. you can always just stack views in layout if you prefer

Imagine painting on estimating logic with a palette tool and having your material generation report exact cost data — directly inside your template. Check it out and future-proof your workflow with some serious automation power!

This is an older one that isn't taking advantage of the new gizmo they have shown:

use the gable line tool, put some other pitch in there and then change it again to 5. its a glitch

Auto build roof tips and tricks:

I'm already bothered by the latency of a 60hz monitor...that lag would drive me bonks!!

Yes.. the parametrically resizable qualities of the door tool make it so that you can dynamically model any mfr or custom bath door

this is a good one, I had been doing this for years as part of my template I am sure I have a video on it somewhere, its nice to be able to do barn door style shower doors in this way too. You can use a door and have a threshold and can get even more clever with closed shutters etc. Nowadays I do it with a cabinet though

Chief you gave us a directory where we could put our SBSAR files to be auto parsed into Chiefs new substance builder, but when installing the latest update, you deleted all of my custom sbsar files for which I unfortunately did not have a backup. So you did two things wrong...you deleted a directory or files that you should never delete, and you did not include my sbsar files in your backup system. I will report

You might have to get one anyway..

is the size of your plan 0mb?

can you attach your plan file and email so we can look and quote?

It is possible but high likelihood that something will cause a big problem. Before you hit save..now you hit delete and export..is it just that the amount of time for the export that is bothersome?

Can I ask why you feel that it is difficult? Backup on one machine Restore from backup on the other OR export library from one machine and export project import and import on second machine Possibly slower ..but not by much..also this method ensures that you are not generating conflicted copies from sync issues/hangups

yes please share your propject or plan file

I really only detail exterior roofs on office time, and like you, I would keep auto on otherwise

Is there a reason you do not want to auto generate. Your old 2d is not the correct depth. If you insist, just copy the old 2d cad, regenerate the cad, and paste your old 2d cad in and delete the old, then save. Also D/W are not supposed to insert into cabinet fronts anymore, they are standalone. So you would change the symbol option to undercounter appliance and resize the height for an auto countertop to generate without the need of a cabinet

can you provide an example plan or calib file so we can show you the solution

what PDF print driver are you using?
