Gonna be a couple years likely… games moving to pathtracing now… hopefully they find a way to catch up. in the meantime, just remotely rent a machine when you need an rtrt

Chief cannot do cut lists etc automatically either if needed ........... but macros may be workable? Yes can do it with macros thankfully

You would need to either manual price everything out...or build a system based on macros that can auto calc pricing...or price your cabinets and save to your library to be used later. Its about the only place that 2020 accels in, but you wont want to switch back once you start using Chief

why not do it yourself? Or are you needing a load calc?

I have a detail system that is lightning fast in my Pro Plan: , but aside from that you can pull a cross section view and use auto-detail and then use the trim tool to section and annotate etc.

thats a bit more difficult. Panels are a collection. You'd have to know which panel you are referencing, say panel 0 for instance, then panels[0].formatted_size reports a string value of both width by height such as "23 7/8"x24 5/16"" for which you would need to split or index and convert to create your calcs. I have a system that prices out cabinets on the fly very accurately but its expensive...takes number of plywood sheets into account, panel sq ft, finish options, variables and a bunch more...can get pretty complex. You could write this macro and input it into your count. It totals all panels but has no conditional statements for false panels or slab vs shaker etc. # Copyright Rabbitt Design 2023 # INITIALIZE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE VARIABLE total_sq_ft = 0.0 panels.each do |panel| # EXTRACT WIDTH AND HEIGHT FROM FORMATTED SIZE w, h = panel.formatted_size.split("x").map { |dim| dim.to_i } # CONVERT DIMENSIONS TO SQUARE FEET AND CALCULATE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR EACH PANEL sq_ft = (w * h) / 144.0 # ACCUMULATE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE total_sq_ft += sq_ft end # REPORT TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE total_sq_ft

I don't see what question you are addressing with your question. Can you eloborate?

its a bug, I just reported it and already heard back from Carrie

Ill put my hat in the ring:

You can do this in twinmotion utilizing phases but it would be ver complicated to achieve depending on how specific you wanted to get about what displays and when

your signature says X15...you wouldnt have access to that anymore.

the condition you show doesnt allow for that unless you change overhangs or plate heights

FYI No Locate simply means that Auto Exterior Dimensions will not dimension to your wall. This has no bearing on placement.

bold indicates a searchable term or phrase in the help files. There are only certain built in columns to include within schedules that have the ability to report values to a totals row. Your custom field will not be able to report to a totals row

currently only have the ability to total specific columns to include. You would need to find another method to populate totals. You could do this with a totals object that reports to schedule with its own custom field which does the total calcs for you through a macro that you script. Keeping in mind it would have its own column and row so may not be formatted the way you want:

Would be happy to take this on for you. current backlog is 3 weeks though. Feel free to give me a call or reach out through the website in my signature.

If you want to draw and don’t care about the lower end graphic card I would def go with the surface studio mobile. it’s optimized for stylus use with greater pen sensitivity and higher resolution. It’s a bit more expensive though… I’d probably be waiting for the next version though as it will likely get a 4060 card

Hey there! I see you’ve recommended this laptop as a possible 2-in-1 option. Just wanted to clarify that it’s not actually a 2-in-1, but more importantly, I’d be careful about suggesting it for use with Chief. I totally get the good intentions behind the recommendation; however, Chief is very graphics-intensive. This laptop only has one small exhaust port, and that’s not enough to keep it cool when running something as demanding as Chief. Inadequate cooling will likely result in thermal throttling, affecting the CPU’s performance and slowing everything down. Just wanted to give a heads-up so that everyone can make a well-informed decision!

2 in 1 touch screen is your unicorn. These high end graphics cards need a lot of cooling otherwise they will throttle and your machine will slow to a crawl.(The next version of the mobile surface studio is the machine you’re speaking about essentially, but that current offering throttles so often you’d be spinning your wheels) Any machine that proposes otherwise is selling snake oil. Which leads us to your weight limit… these high end cards take big watts and big watts take big power and big power weighs a lot more. the next generation of machine learning laptops may have graphics on the chip and take less power consumption.. but I bet that’s a ways off still.

Got confused by the request as well...the molding in this case is part of a feature and the wall niche is presumed to be much smaller

Create your own door stile that has an opening between the stiles and rails if you want to keep using this method..otherwise why not use the molding tool to draw in your molding?

Very confused that there isnt a clear designation of US vs canadian, sorry..Ill shut up now, haha
