  1. 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
  2. why are you not simply using a backdrop instead, with all of the added benefits it brings forward?
  3. 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!

  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Yes. I was, and I like it, and the engineers are still working on it. filtered results for type is a HUGE improvement.
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Parse the value from a sub-line item. How would I report "quantity" in the included image. var=upper_layers...?
  14. 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!

  15. 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.
  16. @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
  17. POST 97 #freesymbolfriday for #ChiefArchitect at The Rabbitt Design Feed Style Pallet Tool to create a coastal style kitchen. This tool will set height, face configuration, color, toe kicks, handles, moldings, countertops and custom backsplash for your full, upper and lower cabinets respectively.

  19. So a couple things. Render PT and render non-pt and mask the fog from non-pt. or use a fog brush in Ps and mask it to your scene using an object ID
  20. it does, you just have to make the correct adjustments. can you give some example files? Would highly encourage the use of pathtracer. Also I mentioned it before but you could really use some better materials on these buildings. This is PT:
  21. I'll be teaching at Dan Baumann's Total Immersion Summit this month. I specifically will be teaching rendering as well as other power user tips and tricks. To sweeten the deal, I will be giving away OVER $1400 worth of Chief Architect items from my shop in a Spin-The-Wheel raffle to anyone registered by Feb 6. This is a HUGE event that you really won't want to miss. Aside from the training classes, you will be socializing with industry pros, sharing laughs and meals in between classes and setting up some life long connections. I cannot tell you how important it has been for my work to have met and stayed connected with other industry folk. Here's a brief overview of what's included: Seven Nights Lodging with Private Room and Bath. Five Days of Chief Architect and Business Training with Classes. Optional Evening Business Strategy and Mastermind Sessions. All Food and Beverages - "Come for the Food, Stay for the Training". Access to Online Members Area for Info, Downloads, and Extra Training.
