How Do You Shower? With Polylines Or Making It A Room
DRAWZILLA replied to Clare_White's topic in General Q & A
I use a room with a label "SHR" so I can do the floor and ceiling materials, then use glass railing walls for the walls (room def.) I then use Wall Material Regions for the tile walls so I can extend the tile beyond the glass walls. Seats and curb are p-solids -
Your right ,Joe. I have used them in a double wall condition in the past but not a single wall.
-
Not sure if this will help or not but I always turn off all lite fixtures and use light sources, you can put them anywhere you want, and they don't show in the electrical, or any other plan, if you turn them off. You can put 8 in every room, if you want. You can adjust them just like fixtures.

There are some wall niche's in the lib.
-
use the "Snip it" tool or just save it as a "PDF" and send

I use Chief's room labels and add macro's to them. I need to do it that way to be able to use the "Room Finish Schedule" and show a lot more info than you can in a label.

Sorry I missed the meeting but I always use rich text except for room labels and macro's, not sure why I would want to switch. I can also put rich text on any layer I want, what am I missing about layer control
-
Jim, you may have to remove it from the registry and the services area's to get rid of it totally.
-
I also agree, there is no reason to fake dimensions in Chief. It's just to easy to move it exactly where you want it.
-
Yes we are, thanks buddy
-
Scott, all the "layer painter" does is quickly change an object from one layer to another. You still have layer control of the objects, less clicks. What everyone wants is match property's tool that will change every property of a line. Isn't that really what the layer painter does anyway.

Nice Tommy, maybe they fixed it. I haven't done one of those in a few years.
-
somehow I remember that the framing has some problems doing those windows, unless framing is not part of your plan.

Did you look in the lib.?

Any Advice On Starting A Design/drafting Business (Using Chief)?
DRAWZILLA replied to Fun2Learn's topic in General Q & A
Yes 40 years, and its a very lonely existence, you are it, I was also a builder for many years but it not my thing, too much work and dealing with homeowners and their pets. I've always liked Drawing b/c that's what I studied in College. Yep ,many years of hand drawing. People use to tell me ,I had a good hand, lettering was good. When computers came around, people hated it at first, very generic. So I got this little program called "Squiggle" to make it look hand drawn. I've had several different programs for drawing but so far settled on Chief for its easy learning curve and seemed to work for me better than the others. I had to learn it quick, so I took a few classes and that all it took. I also was very lucky to meet the famous "SCOTT at those classes, we have been friends since. He has saved my a** many times over many years. I now only use Chief. -
You have to slam them together go to chieftutor.com and look at the corner window video's by Scott.
