Tons of different methods, simple one, place a cad line, then use the point to point move tool on both Surveys and snap to that CAD line

Hey all, Joe posted this on my discord server. One of his rooms wasnt set to follow floor defaults and had the osb check as framing. Also using X14.

can you post your plan, we are just guessing otherwise. If you need a higher mb cap I think you are in my discord server, you can post it there

are you using a floor overview camera? also post your plan

Im not going to be using the correct terms as I am not a developer, but, even if the hardware was up to snuff, its still running on metal, which from what ive heard, apple doesnt offer dev support like microsoft, metal is hard to work with, their sdk is a moving target, and its all just difficult to code for, and you cant just reach out to apple like you can to nvidia or amd I don't know if you remember this, but M1 was supposed to be a huge game changer for graphics. In fact it was a huge let down. M2 was also supposed to be a huge game changer for graphics. Here's the jist....Microsoft and nvidia and AMD have billions into the gaming industry...in this regard, think of mac as a homebrew application. They dont care to enter this market for the rendering artist or game developers...because frankly, you couldnt convince a game developer to switch pllatforms no way no how. I don't mean to be offensive, but I have never understood the desire to keep trying to make a mac work in our industry, its just not the right tool for the job to me, so after so many years of discussing this, I imagine I am a bit biased at this point. I try to stay subjective, but subjectively mac does not make sense at all to me. I have tried Mac, in fact I've used it as my machine for a full year, and its benefits never outweighed its cons for me...I often times wonder if mac peeps every dip their toe into microsoft. Its better hardware, for less, and open source, and infinetely customizable, and supported by a great deal more engineers and developers and peripherals. security is an old wives tale. Not to oust the devs at Chief, but you should see their actual faces when you push mac...I can't speak for them, but I bet you they wish that everyone would switch to PC as well. I teach a class called Power Users in chief and I was going through a bunch of workflow things I do to create some of my best models and visuals and Kevin Transue had a brand new Mac. I swear I'm a nice guy, I wasn't mac shaming him out of spot but we did do a lot of teasing back and forth, but ultimately he did question his purchase becase we kept finiding limitations in the mac. To be fair though, my workflows are specific, but they are fun and cool and playful , and I know its fun to be around that energy.

did you build framing after the change?

Blender, its free. Google decimation and UV remapping in blender

Hey Paul, hit the quote button next time and it will alert me feel free to shoot me an email. renerabbitt@gmail.com I've done walkthroughs for modular home companies in the past, shoot me a message

T is the hotkey for temp dimensions, are you possibling turning that off?

So this is too much to handle in a simple text response, I might encourage you to purchase some training, but I could show you how to do all of this and do it very fast and very accurately using tab-input and edit offset as well as reference snaps. It honestly almost the same process as just placing a model. Regarding the longetude and latitude data, veary easy to write a macro that reports the offset and even takes the circumference of the earth in mind.

Assuming this has the same stretching problems that the OP is asking about or did you figure something clever?

To be perfect you would have to make different size door for each size of door that you needed in order to keep the stiles and rails uniform. This has to do with stretch planes and stretch zones. For this symbol to work you would need dual stretch zones which is a feature ive been requesting for years

ok I'm learning something here, you mean to say that smoothing angle only affects the outside bounds of a mesh as opposed to all faces of a mesh? clever, understood

I would look to joes macros first to see if that handles what you want it to handle. My system is custom built depending on the company needs and includes a bunch of tools, a template, new toolbars and symbols: https://www.rabbittdesign.net/shop/p/automatic-chief-architect-cabinet-pricing-system

I Can give drawer slides and drawer box if someone commissions me to do so. Can handle it with symbols or user-inpout variables or IFTTT logic. Not producing a CNC file, I would post that in suggestions as we don’t have control over frame width in terms of graphics though I can do a lot on the macro side

He can account for all of this. I can do the same. Give the user some configurable global variables for variable pricing and specification. I can even build an advanced pricing model based on all types of data from the cabinet publishers:

See what I wrote above Can you explain this in a bit more detail? why would placing a cube around a mesh improve UV mapping within Chief? Is this some internal thing we don't know about? What is the point of placing all meshes at a same origin point? I can see maybe doing this if you are trying to isolate a scan of something say from its stand like a tripod etc. I think we are missing some context on this post.

And @robdyckaorry was traveling today. My preference is Polycam. yea you can import it but in some instances you’ll be fighting chiefs native and very impressive symbol smoothing which can goof up your UV mapping. Also please note if you’re not decimating your mesh prior to an import, you’re likely bringing in an object with a HUGE poly count. for your fish, try setting symbol smoothing to 1 degree…. Does that fix your UVs?

There are already some feature requests for handling of objects seperate from layers. I'd have to do a search. Kind've lumps in with creating layer groups for better management of resources within rendering large spaces

If you even need multiple saved plan views. You can always save it to one saved plan view with the reference's layer set on the correct floor and the saved plan view set to use any floor....copy layer set which only has the post's layer on, then in layout, specify which floor you want displayed.

agreed..sorry teatime

Just an FYI, far more dynamic and resource friendly to use reference displays with correct offsets. That way every plan is dynamically linked..instead of creating a bunch of high poly count models.

Also very easy to setup defaults to draw walls on a as built layer that you turn off 231102 (6).mp4

me? no I was literally the first person to show an as-built demonstration utilizing it in X11 Beta- I used 2 separate plans
