McCudden_Existing.plan Plan is attached! @mthd97 I tried the railing suggestion but had the same results, good thought though! Thank you! McCudden_Existing.plan

I am trying to make the model match the image attached but the sides of the eaves will not close up, help!

@robdyck thank you! I believe the ceiling lights are recessed cans, that's the chief catalog they came from. I adjusted them to spot lights and it helped a ton!

@ericepv understood, but it's very difficult to work in a model that looks like the attached image.. and the rendering is still dark too (image of this attached too). I know I sound like a broken record, it's just strange because this has never happened to me before, and I am not doing anything different with my models that I can figure out. I appreciate the responses and help so much!

@ericepv thank you! Adjusting to 750 helps the ray trace (though, still on the dark side)... but it makes the model so bright in camera view I can't even look at it.

Hello, Out of nowhere, I am having major problems with my ray traces. For years I have been able to generate decent renderings without much manipulation to the settings, and now I don't know what is going on. In CPU Ray Tracing, my renderings are so dark you can hardly see anything, and in physically based, my ray traces are grainy and materials are not showing up properly. I uploaded my model here. In a similar model, I was able to get the renderings to look okay by turning up the can lighting so high that I couldn't even see anything in the standard model view because it was so bright. I have never had any of these issues before, I am lost. I've attached the model here, as well as a couple of images in standard view and in the CPU ray trace. Thanks so much for the help in advance.

Hello! I'd like this peninsula radius cabinet to be completely open on the end with just the shelving, but unless I make the depth 24" or more, it creates this large panel straight down the center of the opening. Does anyone know how to remedy this? I've attached a compressed folder with the plan and an image, any help is appreciated! Cabinet.zip

@DzinEyethank you this was the perfect solution!

Hello! I used the 'Garden Bed' terrain feature to draw a couple of garden beds, and I am wondering if there is a way to use those shapes to create terrain walls along the borders of the beds. I've attached an image, but the model is too large to attach here. Thank you for the help!

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can tell me why the "custom" option for door panels is not available to select. I'd like to have a double door with the doors different sizes.

Thanks @MarkMc, I figured it out. Appreciate the help! I had to set the cabinets to be framed to be able to edit the stiles. Thanks again.

Hi @MarkMc, thank you! See attached, in my cabinet settings the stiles settings aren't something I can edit.

@MarkMc Hi, found this post and I'm struggling with the same thing. I downloaded the model you attached, and gone through it to match my cabinets to what you did.... I am trying to figure out what you did to remove the stiles in the corner of where the cabinets meet. Can you explain? Thank you so much!

@Kbird1 @solver Thanks I got it figured out!

Sorry about that, I fixed it! Thanks!

Can anyone provide any advice for modeling this window? I tried a box window, but the program won't allow me to make the windows on the side connect to the larger window. Any help is appreciated!

Yes, thanks Eric, I figured it out. Sorry, dumb question.

Hello, how can I get my dimensions to show interior wall-to-wall, rather than exterior as pictured? I'm sure this is a very stupid question but I have a new computer and have been trying to get my Chief setup as it was on my old machine, and from what I can tell I have all dimension settings the same but when I click walls it will not show interior dimensions.

@solver I see the options to do that, but I'm not sure what to do to make it scale based on cabinet size. Pic attached.

Hello, I created a custom cabinet door and I am wondering if there is a way to keep the cabinet profile consistent, regardless of cabinet size. I've attached a photo. The door style is a simple slab with a 1/4" frame, but the 1/4" frame that I drew gets stretched/condensed depending on the cabinet size. Thanks as always for the help!

@solver thank you! That's so simple... I feel like a dunce for not thinking of it. Appreciate the help!

Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to get my cabinet door to not overlap the crown. Whenever I adjust the cabinet face components, it just creates a larger gap at the bottom of the cabinet. Cabinets are pull overlay with panel doors.

Thank you everyone! I am learning a lot from this forum.

Thanks Eric - I checked my messages and read/watched what you shared.
