  1. 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
  2. I’m guessing that you specified a custom countertop. Why not delete it and check countertop on your cabinet box
  3. 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
  4. I was assuming the windows were to remain not mulled as shown in the OP
  5. 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
  6. You would need to create a custom shutter and apply it by using Library as the shutter Type
  7. Change the Text Style on the Layer "Cameras,Labels" for that Layer Set
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. I would say that that video should be reason enough...its the same actions in Chief. Single biggest productivity tool you can buy for our line of work once you get used to it.
  11. @CADustin Requesting a way to rotate image inputs in your builders...otherwise we have to rotate them in a 3rd party which most beginners won't do
  12. It is all upstairs my friend. Meaning I simply remember what my modifiers do across 24 radial menus each with a 4 level stack. There is no 2nd/3rd/4th level in terms of the driver package. You only get one radial menu level, and for that level I apply a single character hotkey n...that way, when I hold the ctrl or shift key for instance, that hotkey now becomes n+ctrl or n+shift for instance. That is also why it is important to have a really well thought out system of approach across not just chief, but any other applications you might use the system for. I use radial menus across 8 programs, the big ones being twinmotion, chrome, windows explorer, photoshop, premiere pro, blender, sketchup. All of which I have a similar mapping for which would follow an APK. It gets pretty complex when you start mapping it all out...I fortunately did a ton of leg work years ago when I was building a midi-based touchpad system for Chief, and the information learned in that process drives much of the success of this current system. Previously the only difficult coding I did for 3dconnexion was to inject images for icons...but now we have that built into the driver package. The only advanced stuff I do now is radial menus that are bound to a key universally, which takes xml editing.
  13. Learned something new, thanks Mike, hadn't ever noticed we could control it in SPV's
  14. No need to open the file on this one, just need an adjustment to your approach. Wall specifications are independent of the capabilities of saved plan views. Instead considering your foundation stem walls at level 0 and build your basement on level 1. You could then use a reference display on level 0 from level 1 for more dynamic control of display
  15. Please shoot any tweaks you are making my way, you never know, the greater group might enjoy your edits as well Thank you for the support, X15 Versions coming soon
  16. Apologies, weird, you look just like him!, didnt know the name though
  17. I know, we met at Chiefs event in Aug, I was with Dan Baumann's crew
  18. 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
  19. In X15, under your wall definition, the "EXT" column.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
