Been using this system for years and it was adopted from an Architecture firm. Example Project file. Layout and plan names are NEVER renamed. No relinking is ever necessary. When you are searching, you are searching for folder names only. PDF printouts match the folder name, same with renderings. Want a previous version, search that previous versions print name to the folder that contains it. yymmdd-design version-iteration-project name-drafter

Cabinet pull not touching face of a panel drawer
Renerabbitt replied to Larry_Sweeney's topic in General Q & A
They just built a system for modifying handles in place, adding a y modifier might be really simple to implement and I would like it personally. -
Poor choice of words on my part, the model and rendering together were done in chief in 30 minutes time from a blank template plan

Interactive Floor Plan / Destination Point to 360 Panoramas
Renerabbitt replied to Ange822's topic in General Q & A
You can do as chopsaw says, but many of us use a 3rd party tool like Kuula to setup something like this as it has more functional tools for such a thing. -

There are different painter modes, one of which is room based or plan based, meaning you can paint all matching materials in a room or plan with the material of your choice. f1 key to look up and understand painter modes -

Did X15 come with a change to the Chief Blueprint font?
Renerabbitt replied to JWoelkeGOGHomes's topic in General Q & A
They did at some point, just an FYI, I feel like you like to know this info. Was originally created by Dan Baumann and called blueprintdb -
First thing to check is if you have the most current drivers available for your graphics card through nVidia

Same.

Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
Mydoma acquired a popular online rendering platform geared toward interior designers which was created recently so it has a bunch of recent offerings but every interior designer I know that has used the platform extensively prefers chief, as the offering is still limited and doesn’t leave room for much customization -
Computer Specs - Please help me select a new desktop!
Renerabbitt replied to RAULMAYORGA72's topic in General Q & A
Soooo, I have 4 machines currently. Order of favorites: Legion 7 with DDR5, a 2tb m.2 drive, and I keep it plugged into a Sonnet eGPU running a 7900XTX card. Its ridiculously fast in all things chief. There are only a few applications that wont use the eGPU. This thing is a dream to work on. When I unplug it from the egpu, its still super fast running a 6850 mobile. PCI4 and DDR5 make this thing so dang snappy, and its such a steal at $2200 I have a xeon desktop with a 3.2gh 8 core, 80 gb DDR4, and 2 m.2 drives with a 4090 card. It gets the job done, its quick, but nowhere near as quick as the Legion I have an Eluktronics Max-17 with a 11900K intel, DDR4, and a 3080 mobile. My last year's workhourse..I bring it to events when I need a second machine. I have a Surface Book 3, top of the line a few years back with a max-q 3000 RTX Quadro card. I use it for drawing only. -
Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
This is #3 on this list, if you add your input it will help out: Rob, every major furniture vendor has its symbols available for download, which can be imported into CA. Every piece of furniture can be re-mapped for UV coordinates in a software thats free like blender very easily. You can also decimate a symbol in 3d to limit its face count. For those digital interior design folk, I find it important to learn these skills, or outsource. I will perform these tasks for people but I like to encourage everyone to give it a shot. It's not all that difficult to do. There are also a host of seemless texture generators and sources on the net. Push come to shove, hire a rendering artis. I have a bunch of model and texture resources on my site with custom search engines in the Industry Tools section that comes up from the hamburger menu -
I’m guessing that you specified a custom countertop. Why not delete it and check countertop on your cabinet box

Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
I'm with the others in this thread, I've seen plenty of MyDoma renderings and I don't find them to look nearly as good as a Chief rendering with a tech that knows their stuff. Heres a heavily compressed sample: Lyding Kitchen_1_chf3_prob3_1.mp4 -

I was assuming the windows were to remain not mulled as shown in the OP

Could do this in photoshop or any other editor. You would add them together in one image file. Or do as SHCanada2 said as a workaround
-
You would need to create a custom shutter and apply it by using Library as the shutter Type

Kitchen electrical must read
Renerabbitt replied to Gawdzira's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
I think their has been a revision since I first researched it, there was no clause for ITTT. J-box it is.wonder if this will be like some of the other radical changes of past when mfr’s couldn’t get their product to meet listings in time for the code interpretations to take effect -

Renerabbitt replied to Gawdzira's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
Keeping in mind that they no longer require an outlet at all which is a BIG deal for post-tension and/or radiant floor remodels
