Id say make the jump, there are workarounds or methods in X14 but would prefer just doing it in X15. New subscription model will just be pushing us to current version anyway

In X15, under your wall definition, the "EXT" column.

The OP could've worded it better but I understood the end goal. "allow for an environment to be projected onto that inside surface to mimic a fully interchangable backdrop from the view of the window" You described a solution for creating a half dome, yes.

I mean, should I throw some shade and tell you both you missed the mark, haha. These methods wont work, not even with Global Symbol Mapping Turned on. Curious Mike what the step 2 added?(something I don't know maybe? using X15.) The OP is asking for a skydome, and it wont map correctly using solids, should use a molding along a line with global symbol mapping and stretch to fit instead I believe, though I haven't tried it

Can I ask what other software you are speaking of? most of the major third party rendering software's have dedicated skydomes or HDRI effects including Twinmotion, D5, Enscape, Thea, VRay, Maya, Unreal, and more

why are you not simply using a backdrop instead, with all of the added benefits it brings forward?

POST 99 #freesymbolfriday It's been a crazy fun week at Chief Summit and I've been buried in fun discussions. Here is an adjustable speaker made from a cabinet. You can split or remove sections to create a large number of different speakers. Enjoy and discover...try to reverse engineer how I created this..it's simple!

Send this in, I’ve been sending in everything and have been told that they are actively ramping up dev efforts to improve the library for official release. I personally am excited about possibly getting group select and add search attributes

Not trying to upset you Mark, nothing but respect for you as always. I would still argue(because I do that) that you would need to first find your folder you want to search from in X14, and would either need to search and mouse to it or you would need to manually scroll and expand folders to get to it before you could search that particular folder. In X15, just type your search and hit enter, and then type in your folder name, hit down arrow twice and hit enter...no mousing around I think we might get this back in next version Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant creating a symbol from the library. Yes +1 on this to add an option to the add to library check mark

I wouldn't bother just yet, the Library is actively being worked on including that issue. but FYI Try searching the library from the dashboard

As Chief is moving toward a cloud based platform, this was a necessary step...also we are talking about two completely different development departments. A single engineer did the Library redesign, and is completely separate from the framing tools dev team. The Library moving toward cloud is very important for future cloud based project management which is already in development. Imagine the future where our CAD details are linked to Layout from the Library..THAT will be the day when this makes a HUGE amount of sense. I think its a big step in the right direction. Not directed at you Steve, just to the general group here, the Library is currently being worked on for public release and will be improved again when we see official release.

this is done by simply clicking the folder you want to search copy paste, but no duplicate..an extra step Simply right click your folder/New and it does this Just addressing the parts that we have

I think maybe I am in the minority for large libraries then… narrowing down to a few predictable results in a few short keyword searches is pretty darn powerful

Yes. I was, and I like it, and the engineers are still working on it. filtered results for type is a HUGE improvement.

LOL, yes doing something wrong Those are filters you have applied, so you had Bryant as a filter and exhaust fan..You just need to click on Bryant to remove it to change your filtered results

This is only enabled when you have an applicable condition. Some materials do not have a texture source, which means you cannot blend with them

Parse the value from a sub-line item. How would I report "quantity" in the included image. var=upper_layers...?

POST 98 #freesymbolfriday I bet you didn't think you would get this built-to-available-spec faucet this quick?! The Kohler Purist K-29179-BL complete with a custom CAD block for accurate placement and stretch planes to raise and lower(within reason). Enjoy and please, pretty please, share your projects back so we can tag you here and share your work with this beauty! get it in the free symbols section of my site rabbittdesign.net/symbols or direct download https://www.rabbittdesign.net/s/Rabs-Kohler-Ceiling-Mount-Purist-Faucet.calibz Kohler Faucet_2_chf3_prob3.mp4 Booya!

Great for use as a reference display when you only need to see a shell overlayed on another view such as foundation or roof etc.

@MarckusW @SHCanada2 @SusanC @DBCooper @scottharris There is a very easy way to accomplish this and quickly. Select all of your cabinets, convert to custom countertop. Then select all cabinets again, together, and convert to a symbol. 230208-Compressed.mp4

Big Update just went out to Standard and Pro Template purchasers. Let me know if you didn't get an email
