  1. I can already tell that your two pieces of bread are in the main layer with the tuna salad in the middle. Breads always gonna get soggy that way. Maybe you can separate them to the surface?
  2. It comes into play when a lot of CAD is used in plan. Also comes into play with custom material files, especially when mirror materials are used in a room with a lot of high texture resolution materials.
  3. I'm buried up to my ears in deadlines at the moment else I would gladly. Note types can carry any number of macros along with many custom fields that can report to/from macros and all the while having a note schedule with custom fields etc. Makes for a great system. I also use notes to order my details and callouts across elevations/plan view/etc.
  4. I like to use notes for everything of this sort. Having the ability to have an ordered list is huge to me. Simple to setup and extremely robust.
  5. Man, Thank you! I've only updated 1 set with a limited scope but nice to steal someone else's standards for larger jobs
  6. I've got some openings starting the end of next week. I've been working remotely for years as a trainer, designer, drafter, and rendering artist. I've got plenty of references, please feel free to contact me through the website in my signature and take a look at my Youtube content. Thanks for any consideration
  7. I’m having performance issues with recording 4K battling PBR refresh rates when a material is changed. Video memory causes a problem in the recorder buffering. I can’t seem to figure out how to split my card allocation effectively. It’s proven to be challenging for a scene that I dumped a bunch of hours into. I do plan on doing that series though. I’ll make sure and ping you when I do.
  8. @Rich_Winsor Another approach- Make a folder in your User Library named "Main" (for example). Relocated all of your existing User Library items into this main folder within your User Library. So now the only thing you see in your User Library is the "Main" folder with all of your old library items under that folder: Main/old items Close your Chief Architect With the program closed, make a backup of your User_Library.calib file and save it somewhere safe. Now, relocated the original User_Library.calib file to the location of your Manufacturer Libraries.(yes actually drag your original Library that you just created a Main within to the Manufacturer Library Folder) Fire up chief. Because you removed the User_Library folder it will now create a new User_Library.calib. When you look at your library you will see the "Main" folder that you created if you did steps 1-6 correctly. Install ALL calibz files that you have saved over time. Any files that are now populated in your User Library are now contained in the new User_Library.calib that was auto generated. Any files that you would ultimately like to save to your original User Library simply need to be dropped into the "Main" folder. When you are done dropping all items that you would like to save from your downloaded calibz files, close Chief Architect. Go to your new User_Library.calib file and delete it. This erases all of the items that you chose not to keep. Go back to your manufacturer library folder location, grab your User_Library.calib file and bring it back to the default location. If you did this correctly, you should see all of the new items you brough into your main folder and none of the items you did not want to keep. These steps only take a total of 5 minutes to complete.(except for sorting through items) Please don't be intimidated by the number of steps involved, they take a mere matter of seconds to perform.
  9. Appreciate it, more to come hopefully by the end of the week. LOVE hearing this feedback, thank you
  10. POST 33 Twinmotion is getting so popular that I had to dive in: CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!
  11. Ah I misread your first post- Solver(Eric) posted a solution a while ago HERE We also discuss this in regards to recessed base molding, more of a modern detail, HERE Short answer is that we still need a workaround.
  12. No workaround needed, this option is in your Door Specifications- Jamb/Has Jamb/Inset Question regarding the detail you are showing as an example. what are you end nailing your wallboard/RC channel/lathe etc. to if not the king/trimmer?
  13. You're absolutely right+1, or could do it with invisible walls...brain fart. @rgardner
  14. He's referring to a hay hood, ducks beak, bonnet, widows peak, crows beak, I believe. No way to do this in CA, extend it manually and turn auto back on with retain manually edited roofs
  15. I would actually love to know the RGB index of your handle fill...its a great color
  16. Please do, I like Steve's videos, pleasant speaking voice...his wall fill however, gives me an aneurysm, haha. Maybe when I am "Over 60"
  17. Should've done these stairs using shaped landings. Since you've come this far with the manual method you could either draw your railing with the 3d molding tool or convert your slabs to plain polyline and back to landings. You will need to connect one stair section to be able to better control your stair railing, riser, tired etc. Information
  18. Gonna end up calling it the Bau-House..haha Thank you. Lot of work left to go, still working on its "flow." Then need to clean up all of the oddities that are created from split levels and add in structure, then furniture, entourage, lighting etc...ugh, probably another 60 hours. Didn't mean to thread jack, just thought it was relevant..so many levels, defaults don't apply
  19. I was just thinking about split homes...if you guys care to play with a crazy split home I'm designing you can goof around- I'm 14 hours in on the design: DOWNLOAD
  20. Well I'd be happy to help you out, plenty of examples on YouTube and my website, both of which are in my signature. I have references upon request and am a reputable member of this community. You can email me direct at renerabbitt@gmail.com or give me a call at (925) 300-7004. Appreciated the humor in your post, we'd get along Write me for some example plan and layout sets.. I'll try and dig up some in X-10
  21. I really wanted to write you back, but I can't bring myself to let go of the CD productivity tools in X-12 let alone the massive changes that X-11 brought. It would be like drafting with both hands behind my back I've doubled my production speed since X-10. Anywho good luck! I'm sure you'll have plenty of offers
  22. Is it the same ? Delete the left window and try a Copy/Paste+Reflect About Object on the right window.
  23. Builder first, drafter second, I’ll put my vote in the kitty for dimensioning to sides. When I’m designing, not only could I care less about the dimension to center of window but also my client could care less. My client wants to know if their China cabinet can fit on the wall before it interferes with the window. I want to know if I’m giving a standard wall length in the bedroom to fit dressers. I want to know if I’ve got enough room to fit electrical next to a double king. I dimension to both sides of the window, if it says 36” in the dimension string where the window lives and the window label says 3030 I’m pretty sure an apprentice level framer could figure that out. Center of wall...on a furred bathroom wall for a pocket door and electrical on the bath side and an abutting foot of bathtub...why does anyone want to do that math or leave that to their framer? Sure you could adjust your standard for this but not for me, I like the same standard all through the draft set. I also know plenty of framers that run a higher risk of cutting a beam short to an interior bearing wall. Finally I would say this, I run my own beam calcs, why in the hell would I care about centerline when I am calling out to out or clear span, or cantilever. Makes ZERO sense to me. Weyerhaeuser must have a Canadian version
