    convert your arc to a polyline with more sides and you'll have a better experience with it

    I would really encourage you to wait another month for the new M4. m3 is still a bit underwhelming in the rendering side when compared to PC

    are you using X16? This should be fixed in X16

    share your plan and layout file and we could tell you whats going on

    makes sense, thank you

    is there a reason for the call "macros." here? Serious question...is that because its an array? because it contains a lambda?

    just seeing this post here so I'll paste my response from your other post: and then:

    Want to download objects from 3rd party software and optimize or UV map them correctly. This tutorial goes over decimating an object down to an acceptable polycount for Chief Architect using the free software blender. Then we map the object so that we can properly texture it: optimize, decimate, uv map, texture

    I think the confusion is coming from my method. we are not generating a wall thickness with a wall covering but rather covering a wall layers thickess which is set to no display or insulation air gap material with a wall covering and then revealing that no display area which is perceived as a void

    likely because the standard of window labeling and ordering such as 3060 has been around for over a century and is the most common accepted practice uniformly across window mfr and drafting standard books being taught in international schools of building and design "Architectural Graphic Standards". Major window manufacturers like Andersen, Pella, and Marvin have been using the "3050" or similar sizing conventions for decades. Their catalogs from as far back as the mid-1900s likely reference this system, showing the continuity of the practice. I am personally pretty hard nosed about it, when asked to change it I simply say no, haha, not to be a jerk but it is an accepted standard from way back in the UBC days which predate the IBC and changing it invites liability. All of your major window mfr will use this standard / or order from this standard and in terms of liability, I just wouldn't chance the confusion by introducing more complexity. An " or ' simple can easily be misread by someone that is expecting the standard to be written and simply not seeing your foot markers. 3'0 looks a lot like 30 at a quick glance when youre expecting a convention and you're working off a check set a 1/2 print scale or digitally on an ipad etc. Same goes for if you are exporting a dwg for an engineer.

    We can only kind've guess at this because there is no documentation to support it but when flipping the plan the model is re-built and since many electrical symbols options classifications are designated as "mounts to wall" the symbol has to find a wall and there is some sort of internal tolerance being applied that can sometimes be a miss. If you plan on flipping a plan, you could group select like symbols and designate them as mounts to floor instead of wall before you flip and then they will not be searching for walls but rather they will keep their xy coordinates relative to a model space flip

    Mark all great info as always. You can use a style palette for the Object Information Fields on an individual basis apart from Custom Fields which will overwrite/write all custom fields when using a style palette Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you mean for pasting into a CSV and the semi colon puts data in a new cell? NVMD, you explain this later in the post Have you tried to get Ai to conform an order form? Curious if it would work Anyone reading this, Mark means lots of time...and Mark, I imagine you underestimate your brilliance and grasp of software, approach, and systems...this is not for the faint of heart.

    What part of doing the calc do you need help with? What questions do you have. The IRC outlines the method to be used
  22. Renerabbitt
    Can you be more specific. What cabinet information are you looking for?

    on PC running win 11 "documents" by default are on a network drive, as in a drive that caches and syncs to a cloud service regardless of the fact that it is a file that is stored on the machine's drive it will still cause redundancy problems. I've been saying this for years now. Onedrive syncs the documents folder OOTB, and since a user will sign into one account across multiple machines and chief installs in the same data location, sync issues occur and cause this corruption.

    You are in the Chieftalk forums which is specific to the Chief Architect Premiere line of products which is why he is confused. You have your own forum at https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/5-qa/?_fromLogin=CA3 Yes you would need to upgrade

    that particular column would be VERY easy to build with a cabinet with moldings
