  1. This may be a question for @MarkMc, Taking a first stab at using material lists to create a cabinet order, how can I restrict moldings to 8' cut lengths...there is no "ea." option after I add a divisor in the "count" sub-category?
  2. Upon closing different file in the last few days I've experienced 3 program crashes. Seems a bit unstable.
  3. Never been happy with the layout labels/description having little to no correlation with the plan files. You could use a simple text macro for your layout sheets but it would be cumbersome and possibly lead to more error. Maybe someone else has a better solution, you can also make your sheet index and sheet labels in plan with a note and schedule. I try to avoid putting anything but revisions in my (dumb)layout sheets
  4. Grabbed it off the net, made it tileable, made a bump/metal/roughness map...Think it's pretty high resolution. Try it out: RABS Weathered Fir Siding.calibz
  5. helps me get motivated to start the next project If you're going to make them yourself, you can change the bounding box to be the inside edge minus your reveal on your jamb thickness...that way you can p,ug in exact dimensions and snap to center in x/y on elevation
  6. Actually try this instead, change the bounding box to be inside edge: RABS STRETCHABLE WINDOW TRIM.calibz
  7. See if this works for ya: stretch planes should work RABS CUSTOM CASING.calibz
  8. You could create a symbol of the sill, casings lintel all together with a center stretch plane in the y- axis, personally I would show a detail of the casing as shown and leave elevations with a square casing with a note pointing to the detail.
  9. awesome, glad to help, if you wouldn't mind editing your topic to add [solved] it will help other people find it
  10. You have inadvertently shrunk your selection pane to the top of the preview screen. If you drag your mouse over the top of the selection preview window your mouse cursor should change to this icon: when it does, simply click and drag down to set the size of the selection window. Alternatively, you can deselect and re-select the "show/hide preview panel" icon as mentioned above and it will reset your "selection panel" If this solves your issue and you feel so inclined, edit your post to include [solved] cheers!
  11. There are separate forums for the home designer line of products, try your post out over there and I'm sure someone would be happy to help. Also best to post in Q&A website: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/
  12. Are either of these items unchecked in your library(under the library browser)? re-check them
  13. This would be my approach, why not make it 3d so you can just use a fixture schedule and custom fields etc plus have the benefit of correct elevations etc. not to mention macro implementation/object info etc. Just use a library symbol that is similar and designate your cad block to that symbol
  14. Would use a half wall and adjust the height according to your sunken floor elevation. You can do this after the fact by designating your invisible wall as a railing in the wall dbx. general tab and in rail style tab set it to solid. Then designate the height in the newels/balusters tab
  15. When opening this plan it appears as if no manual editing has been done and all roof planes are connected
  16. I probably need more info from the OP...if I am understanding correctly he wants the same text in 4 rich text boxes, in that case one identical macro could be placed in 4 boxes and you would only need to change the macro's text. This is particularly helpful in ensuring that redundant information remains accurate
  17. Use Macros in your rich text, then change the macro's text
  18. A quick vid for you: 2019-08-13 10-19-46.mp4
  19. Thats still a lot of work, I would fight hard to get the originals
  20. You can do it a number of different ways, I think for this scenario set your ceiling material to insulation air gap, check no flat ceiling in your room dbx. and set your roof structure to have beams as required
  21. Just a thought, it may be more cost effective to request one as needed, converting to PDF can get pricey. Would you be willing to share one so we can see what the workload would entail?
  22. The part that was tricky I didnt clarify...speaking about adding dimensions and annotations over a rendering gets tricky
  23. tricky but doable, you need yo do a orthographic floor overview using the line drawing technique
