Coming back to this...I always have to ask...why are you providing material lists? Are you design-build?

agreed. Thanks for taking the time to answer

this...and Im never going to stop using my 3dmouse, haha, so those arent options. Helpful for someone else though Close but not quite what Im looking for.. this frames an object in view and then moves the focal distance again once you move the camera

I want to lock the camera end, and subsequently the focal distance for using focal blur.

I do it all,been working remotely for a decade, well known in the community as well as with the Chief staff. website in my signature and here are some samples:

haha, sorry but this made me chuckle. It is anything but easy but I think we will get there eventually. Redundancy checks, file authoring, file locking, id management, list goes on...its very very complicated to use the same file at the same time across a myriad of systems both running locally and networks simultaneiously. Fraught with complications. You COULD, put your textures file on the cloud in the same location for every machine. You will absolutely run into redundancy, and file bloat..since one machine may try and write a material whil another machine is referenceing those materials..but it will work. Or simply map textures to a known location and turn off the option to copy externally referenced files in chief.

the back face item acts completely different from a millwork shelf, try it out.

I have not been able to get it to work.

is it possible to say add $ to a reported value where the result puts that new global value?, such as "$#{linked_view_name}" result being 'test'

Thank you and yes I think I will. I need to bite the bullet and secure my spot

This thread was 5 years old, surprise it was still relevant, haha. Why do you avoid custom countertops?

POST 103 FREESYMBOLFRIDAYYYYYYYYY Mosaic tile textures generated from Ai prompts Direct Download: LINK and as always get more symbols at rabbittdesign.net/symbols From the video earlier Follow this link for the Rabbitt Design FB Feed for additional content: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3195137837435026/permalink/3207137419568401/ CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!

it so difficult to use moldings for this, youre better off opening a new file and generating a terrain and then using a railing that follows terrain with nothing but a round cap and then converting that to a symbol..or just use blender or sketchup..would take two seconds in those apps..you'll be fighting this in chief, doable, but annoying

I personally much prefer ShaderMap4, free version..way more advanced and capable check it out

I take it back... I think a room would serve you well for these conditions..really simple to create, simple to manipulate, especially in 3d..dynamic, can have outlets(windows) can have moldings, hatches(doors) and they can automatically report the values you are looking for to a room schedule without scripting.

I bet you could guess that I would say this… use a cabinet

depending on your reason for this, maybe converting the solid to a symbol is your best solution

I had a version in my old plan template .. not a macro, a font, and you would use it for dimensions only. It’s a quick google search. You are simply replacing the character space with a ‘-‘ and generating a system font with that switch then applying that font to all dimensions through text styles etc.

Hire me next time, haha. 1. So simply drag the materials into your root textures folder and chief will find them..then do it for every backup and it will prompt you about duplicates. OR make your drafter goto 3d/materials/create plan materials library, a very quick tool, then export as a calibz file and import into your machine and chief will skip the duplicates in X15. 2 why not use chief, the note system works in 3d and will even snap to things, simply write in the notes text above line field and youve got a note in 3d, attached to the thing you need to address.

you can set your speed after and time for a specific keyframe to speed through a section

Larry what I was talking about earlier if you want ultra precision you would take your molding profile and place it in elevation and then use a trim line to break the molding into two moldings where your profile meets your casing, then draw a molding line in the room, apply your first molding, then duplicate it and apply your second molding offset horizontally by the width of the first and then miter that one. This is only in the case that you care if the molding is diving into the casing or not

this works of course, Glenn’s the man, just note that the molding is diving into the casing, if that matters
