    Mark, Where are you getting your image from?? I read about this feature, but it did not mention importing an image taken with a camera or my iPhone. Is that what you are doing.
  2. Designers_Edge
    I have clients that want 3D images of a view of their backyard through their dining room and living room windows. They are removing a 2 story sun room. I have searched Chief as I remember an article about customizing and creating backdrops. What I would like to know and can’t find is the size these images should be importing them as backdrops. I have tried before and some of my attempts have been very distorted -i.e. the trees and shrubs are giant size and you just see a huge trunk out the window instead of a wooded backyard. I need the backdrop to provide a realistic view. Thank you for any advice with this.

    I am hoping that by chance, someone might know if this glass cabinet door or similar might be found in one of the catalogs. BTW, I have searched and searched to see if I could find something. Thank you

    I guess I do not understand how it has worked until X13 and how they would change the things needed to show materials???? I really am not ready to buy a new iMac!
  6. Designers_Edge
    It is only with materials, it is not with items like fixtures, furniture etc. That is why I do not know what is going on.

    Has anyone else experienced the Library Preview panel being so dark, it is hard to see the example of a material. I have changed it from a panel, to a cube, to a sphere and it is all the same. If there is a control to change t his I have not been able to find it. Appreciate any help. Sharon Olsen

    Eric, thank you so much for helping me. I found the issue with my mouse setting after digging around some more! Thank you!

    Yes, I have the angle snaps on. That is just an example. But the wall is a 45 degree--just a corner. I was drawing it parallel to it--the arrow points to the line I drew.

    I have had this issue for a couple of years and just lived with it. I do have an iMac with the Apple mouse. Often when I do long end-to-end dimensions the lines are not straight or drawing a CAD object, they are off. I have my "angles" checked so that I am not drawing an off angle item. I have gone into Chief preferences and see nothing there and have also gone into the System Preferences on my computer to see if there are any controls for the mouse. I never had this problem before. It used to be, that I didn't have to worry about actually drawing a straight line, as Chief seemed to make sure the intended straight line was drawn that way. I put an example --this is a CAD line that I attempted to draw and I truly meant to draw it straight. What am I missing??

    THANK YOU!!!! Perfect instructions and now I have learned something today.

    Is there anyway to move cabinetry hardware on tall cabinet doors? The default positions allowed do not place pulls where they need to be.

    I have changed nothing in any of my settings since I worked on this plan this morning. Now, when I go to my user library and the lighting I have saved there. I have red outlines on the majority of them and I have no idea why. Has anyone experience this?

    These are beautiful and perfect. Thank you so much for your help!

    THANK YOU ALL. As mentioned in my post, I am using X13 Interiors. I just forgot to update my signature before posting. I did try multiple descriptions for the mirror in the Library search engine, but it never returned anything like the photos which my client wants. The tilt mirror is a surface mount with just an angled solid back. I will look at the Brizo and add it to my library. Mick—-thank you, thank you so very much!!!!

    I am doing an ADA master bathroom and have looked in vain in the Chief and manufacturers libraries and have not found a pivoting wall mirror symbol. It does not matter the shape. I could swear that there was one. If anyone knows where one might be hidden, I would appreciate help with this. Using X-13 for interiors. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for the head’s up on the macOS! I just updated everything. Will go thru the new tutorials and do a test drive. I so appreciate everyone that has been so helpful.

    Thank you everyone! My original question on this thread was for X12 Interiors, did not know that needed to be in my signature too, but will certainly add that. My SSA expires 11-2020. I checked just a few minutes ago and there on the right I now have the green upgrade button—definitely was not there this morning. Thanks again to this great community.

    Thank you for helping. The first place I checked was in my Digital Locker. I guess, I need to be patient and look for it at the end of the month.
  21. Designers_Edge
    Sorry, I need to update my signature!!!! I have X11 and I have SSA--get it every year.
  22. Designers_Edge
    When will X12 for Interiors be available? Thank you.
  23. Designers_Edge
    Thank you Dermot. I called in as I did not know where the download link was in my digital locker. I thought I would see a line saying Chief X11. Did not realize it was in the X10 box. I just don't remember it being located this way from previous years. Thank you again. I am so looking forward to exploring the options. Sorry I will not see everyone at KBIS and the enjoy the benefit of the fantastic tutorials given in your booth. What a great team you have!
  24. Designers_Edge
    I do not see an option to download beta X 11 for Interiors. I am assuming that it is not available at this time.
  25. Designers_Edge
    Mark, thank you. I will give this a try. Have been trying to work thru the new tutorials for X10 to understand the new things added to the program. Seems I have time for just the basics on the renderings and always make do with the basic camera 3D views and the dollhouse views. Appreciate any and all tips! Sharon
