  3. Count me in! A video just for you: 240429 (10).mp4 and one of my offering services listings:
  4. Made one for ya real quick. DOwnload here: Youtube Members of my feed can see the how to vid here: Rabs Corner Sofa V1.calibz
  5. manual dimension tool, drafting guide, chief architect how to dimension, toolbar customization, cabinet dimensioning.
  6. this method is actually significantly slower in load times...also much quicker in general to put all details in the same xy position so you can simply relink a layout box and having things already centered. Anyway just an FYI, system speed is effected when you have all schedules in one view
  7. Is this truly apples to apples? also what drive are you running on the old one, one hard drive on the new one? are all rendering settings the same on both machines for all views? what do you mean by large files? whats the poly count? are you comparing vector views or raster views?
  8. https://www.rabbittdesign.net/shop/p/automatic-chief-architect-cabinet-pricing-system Watch the video: Revolutionizing cabinet design just got easier!

  11. What is the rendering method of your full camera and are you using that same rendering method in your walkthrough settings?
  12. I want to be able to grab a handle and pull a section arrow. I see we have arrows but not section arrow
  13. im moving away from ipad..too closed down for me. A surface book or surface studio can handle chief, even when detached
  14. thats my video actually I had been using an iPad with a remote desktop viewer, so still needed a PC or mac to run the software and then using the ipad as a wireless monitor.
  15. thats 2.5K poly but you might want to put a fill style in your CAD block
  16. 833316516_HANA-PMRGEO-RR.calibz
  17. also this for some reason is for a different version of the software
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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.

  21. 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
