Vancouver, BC checking in Doing work all over the Lower Mainland as well as the rest of Canada and parts of the US. Been using Chief for roughly 4 years now.

You can create a new wall type and select a fill pattern of your liking.

I'm using a GTX 760 and it has been great. From what I've gathered, Chief Architect benefits from gaming cards, rather than Quadro cards. So if you do end up purchasing a new video card, go for a GTX 1060/1070/1080 or the ATI equivalent if you can afford it

Thanks, Ross. I did come across this post, however it appears as though it's X9? I'm still on X8 unfortunately.

Nice find, Curt! Within that PDF you linked, they actually provide a link (sanssoucie.com/pantrydoors) where you can view all their doors in full height. As for the Pantry door in my plan, it's at 28" wide.
-
Yeah I was having a lot of trouble finding the pantry door as well. I ended up doing a google search and stumbled upon this: http://i.imgur.com/qeb2f1R.jpg I simply cropped the glass and created a new material from the cropped image. Once created, I applied the new material to the glass portion of the door and adjusted the transparency to my liking. Worked out perfectly in my opinion

Kitchen render for a client:

Exactly

Rosco and myself basically said the same thing lol. I drew a shower wall (default wall type within chief) and just used 1" polyline solids, centered in the glass, to create the grid.
-
Probably not the most efficient approach, but you could use a glass wall with PL solids.

The Snipping tool that's bundled with Windows is much easier imo

Haha - I'm not familiar with SoCal and my client simply asked if I "knew anyone in SoCal". Anyway, I've received a lot of PMs with referrals and appreciate them all! I've passed on the info to the client accordingly. Thanks again.
-
I know this is probably a long shot, but I have a client in SoCal that's looking for a referral on a builder - anyone have any contacts?

It's the opposite for me - I actually prefer having the separation line in elevation views to show exactly where the new and existing walls meet.

Yep - OOTB pattern:

I'd just use general framing and then adjust the ceiling structure: -
Like this?

Thanks Gavin - I'll try that with the lights. As for the pendant lights, the left and right pendants are both higher than the middle one (what the client requested). Regarding the furniture, they provided an inspiration photo with furniture that was all very different. I'll take another look at the materials and the emissivity however. Thanks, MrScott, And you're absolutely right - I've attached some photos of the settings that were used in the scenes Sorry - 1765 x 1000 with a resolution of 150. 10 passes at 30 mins each.

Couple quick raytraces for a client. 15 passes each - X8.

Converted a carport to a media room for a client. 13 passes, 25 minutes.

What exactly would you be looking to size? I actually have a copy of Javelin by Weyerhaeuser and have been using the software for about 5 years now. I could probably save you a lot of time by modeling your design, sizing all members and then exporting to Forte for you. I do a lot of this type of work for engineers here locally.

Are you auto saving to Dropbox? Have you tried changing your auto save destination to something on your local disk?
-
What do you mean by an enlarged plan? Are you wanting a larger scale? A zoomed-in perspective?

Here you go

Thanks, Michael. I guess I'll have to use this until something else becomes available
