    change your stile dimensions for sides

    probably a less complicated method which would be using chiefs number formatter and a custom macro is just setting your roof pitch to 5.25

    You're not gonna see much in performance from an M3 to an M4 etc in anything but raytrace views. It will be a jump, but nothing monumental. The rest is up to how you draw and resource management. Doesn't matter what machine you have, 4.million polys and a ton of vector lines will slow down any machine. I should know, I have two of the fastest machines one could build

    convert your arc to a polyline with more sides and you'll have a better experience with it

    I would really encourage you to wait another month for the new M4. m3 is still a bit underwhelming in the rendering side when compared to PC

    are you using X16? This should be fixed in X16

    share your plan and layout file and we could tell you whats going on
  8. Renerabbitt
    makes sense, thank you

    is there a reason for the call "macros." here? Serious question...is that because its an array? because it contains a lambda?

    just seeing this post here so I'll paste my response from your other post: and then:

    Want to download objects from 3rd party software and optimize or UV map them correctly. This tutorial goes over decimating an object down to an acceptable polycount for Chief Architect using the free software blender. Then we map the object so that we can properly texture it: optimize, decimate, uv map, texture

    Ever wanted to curve a custom object or railing panel? This will give you a curved panel that follows your staircase

    I think the confusion is coming from my method. we are not generating a wall thickness with a wall covering but rather covering a wall layers thickess which is set to no display or insulation air gap material with a wall covering and then revealing that no display area which is perceived as a void

    likely because the standard of window labeling and ordering such as 3060 has been around for over a century and is the most common accepted practice uniformly across window mfr and drafting standard books being taught in international schools of building and design "Architectural Graphic Standards". Major window manufacturers like Andersen, Pella, and Marvin have been using the "3050" or similar sizing conventions for decades. Their catalogs from as far back as the mid-1900s likely reference this system, showing the continuity of the practice. I am personally pretty hard nosed about it, when asked to change it I simply say no, haha, not to be a jerk but it is an accepted standard from way back in the UBC days which predate the IBC and changing it invites liability. All of your major window mfr will use this standard / or order from this standard and in terms of liability, I just wouldn't chance the confusion by introducing more complexity. An " or ' simple can easily be misread by someone that is expecting the standard to be written and simply not seeing your foot markers. 3'0 looks a lot like 30 at a quick glance when youre expecting a convention and you're working off a check set a 1/2 print scale or digitally on an ipad etc. Same goes for if you are exporting a dwg for an engineer.

    We can only kind've guess at this because there is no documentation to support it but when flipping the plan the model is re-built and since many electrical symbols options classifications are designated as "mounts to wall" the symbol has to find a wall and there is some sort of internal tolerance being applied that can sometimes be a miss. If you plan on flipping a plan, you could group select like symbols and designate them as mounts to floor instead of wall before you flip and then they will not be searching for walls but rather they will keep their xy coordinates relative to a model space flip

    can you give a graphic example of what you are after.. there are a number of different things we can do depending on the final desired look

    Mark all great info as always. You can use a style palette for the Object Information Fields on an individual basis apart from Custom Fields which will overwrite/write all custom fields when using a style palette Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you mean for pasting into a CSV and the semi colon puts data in a new cell? NVMD, you explain this later in the post Have you tried to get Ai to conform an order form? Curious if it would work Anyone reading this, Mark means lots of time...and Mark, I imagine you underestimate your brilliance and grasp of software, approach, and systems...this is not for the faint of heart.

    What part of doing the calc do you need help with? What questions do you have. The IRC outlines the method to be used
  25. Renerabbitt
    Can you be more specific. What cabinet information are you looking for?
