Did X15 come with a change to the Chief Blueprint font?
Renerabbitt replied to JWoelkeGOGHomes's topic in General Q & A
They did at some point, just an FYI, I feel like you like to know this info. Was originally created by Dan Baumann and called blueprintdb -

Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
Mydoma acquired a popular online rendering platform geared toward interior designers which was created recently so it has a bunch of recent offerings but every interior designer I know that has used the platform extensively prefers chief, as the offering is still limited and doesn’t leave room for much customization -
Computer Specs - Please help me select a new desktop!
Renerabbitt replied to RAULMAYORGA72's topic in General Q & A
Soooo, I have 4 machines currently. Order of favorites: Legion 7 with DDR5, a 2tb m.2 drive, and I keep it plugged into a Sonnet eGPU running a 7900XTX card. Its ridiculously fast in all things chief. There are only a few applications that wont use the eGPU. This thing is a dream to work on. When I unplug it from the egpu, its still super fast running a 6850 mobile. PCI4 and DDR5 make this thing so dang snappy, and its such a steal at $2200 I have a xeon desktop with a 3.2gh 8 core, 80 gb DDR4, and 2 m.2 drives with a 4090 card. It gets the job done, its quick, but nowhere near as quick as the Legion I have an Eluktronics Max-17 with a 11900K intel, DDR4, and a 3080 mobile. My last year's workhourse..I bring it to events when I need a second machine. I have a Surface Book 3, top of the line a few years back with a max-q 3000 RTX Quadro card. I use it for drawing only. -
Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
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 -
I’m guessing that you specified a custom countertop. Why not delete it and check countertop on your cabinet box

Converting a Chief Plan To SKP? Better Renderings
Renerabbitt replied to RobUSMC's topic in General Q & A
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 -

I was assuming the windows were to remain not mulled as shown in the OP

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
-
You would need to create a custom shutter and apply it by using Library as the shutter Type

Kitchen electrical must read
Renerabbitt replied to Gawdzira's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
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 -
Kitchen electrical must read
Renerabbitt replied to Gawdzira's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
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 -
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.

Custom Material Generation with Substance Player
Renerabbitt replied to Chief_Content's topic in Symbols and Content
@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 -
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.

Learned something new, thanks Mike, hadn't ever noticed we could control it in SPV's

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

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
