There is a way you can use a railing wall to build stumps ( or piers) - including a bearing beam above. i am away from my computer for another week or so and will post again if you still need help then.
-
Have you checked the wall layers in your wall definition - particularly your main layer.
-
Or you could try using a ramp
-
It is the "external room".
-
I am not at my computer at the moment but from memory, I think you can use a solid rail and use top rail as the glass by changing the top rail settings like height, width, material, etc
-
You can use the Material List to do that.
-
Yes, i understand all that, but.. In this case, the User catalog is not displaying - we want to make it display. What you are describing is a way to hide everything apart from the User catalog, but...if the User catalog is not displaying....? You can filter the User catalog so it is the only catalog to display, but you can't use a filter to make the User catalog display if it is not displaying for some reason.
-
Sounds good, but probably not the correct answer in this case, because you can't filter the User library.
-
Similar to this answer in another thread. Here is the pic from the other thread. Apply the same solution to your problem.
-
Draw the roof plane at the correct pitch (say...25deg?) - this will be fixed by the bottom and top heights of the roof. Ignore angle at eave and ridge. Use a negative value for the Radius and start with a value of about 6' and see how that looks
-
Chopsaw, This is how we handle the lowest or starting tile course: This causes the starter course to be at the same angle as the rest of the tiles - otherwise it is noticeable and doesn't look particularly good. The tilting batten is taller than all the other battens - or as the quote says, the fascia is often used for the same purpose.
-
If you draw a floor beam it will auto cut a pocket in the wall. In this pic the "Framing, Floor Beams" layer has been toggled off. You will probably have to draw the plate and grout manually. To make the pocket deeper to accommodate the plate and grout, place a second beam at the lower height, place it on it's own layer, and hide the layer.

Will Pay $200 to have 12 details drawn in Chief

What format are the files you posted? Why can't you use them directly in Chief without redrawing them? -
Jerry, Preferences...General...Folders...My Data Folder...Browse.

No problem here with Safari on an iMac.
-
No, not flaming, far from it, just pointing out that it probably user error. Usually the best way to get help with this sort of problem is to post a plan, but I appreciate that in your case that is difficult to do with the demo version. A .pdf really isn't much help. It is a minor display problem or setting that should not stop you from purchasing Chief.
-
Oh, you mean user error buggy?
-
Yes, that looks possible without too much trouble. Those louver blades shouldn't be too hard to build with the 3D tools - as long as you are familiar with the 3D tools. Once you have built 1, I would assign it to a Distribution Path which would make it easy to change the spacing, rotation angle, etc., for all the louvers in one go. For a more comprehensive answer, can you post a detail drawing of the blades?
-
Rob, As far as I know there isn't a minimum wall length. When would you need that feature? There are several ways to control the length of short walls like Grid Snaps, Wall Length, etc.
-
Rob, I am fairly certain that setting was dropped many versions ago.
-
I don't even turn it off because I always need it there.
-
Johnny, That is what I do - i have a terrain in my template plan.
-
Edward, Did you see this in help?
-
One thing to be aware of when you are trying to get cladding materials to wrap around the end of a wall is that if the wall is not an internal wall (ie, contained within a room), the cladding will not wrap.
-
I am running Chief on a new iMac with a 5k 5120x2880 display. It is fantastic with no problems at all.
