Got this figured out. Here is a sample of the quality of videos you can create from your ChatGPT created images. This one was only 3.44 MB. Original ChatGpt image created from Chief Architect CPU Ray Trace image: Invideo video created from ChatGPT image: A Warm Hug.mp4

A taste of what Invideo can do with a Chat GPT image. You can now create videos out of you ChatGPT images. Had to keep the resolution low and the duration short but you get the idea. Imagine showing your client a walk thru with an image of your client actually walking thru the rooms. Welcome-4 second clip.mp4

Create a photorealistic image of mt rushmore on a beautiful day with puffy clouds in the sky. replace lincoln with the 1st picture - replace roosevelt with the 2nd picture - replace jefferson with the 3rd picture - replace washington with the 4th picture. have all the replacements look like stone like the presidents look.

I'm not a macro guy but since ChatGPT keeps asking me if I want to write code I thought I would ask it if it could write Chief macros. FWIW, here's the upshot. Prompt: Can ChatGPT create macros in chief architect 17 software? Reply: Short answer: Yes — ChatGPT can help create macros for Chief Architect (including version 17), but there are some important limitations. What ChatGPT can do Write Ruby macros (the language Chief Architect uses) Help you: Build custom labels, schedules, and reports Format object data (dimensions, materials, counts, etc.) Debug or improve existing macros Explain how to use the Text Macro Management (TMM) system and object variables (NVPs) Chief Architect macros are essentially Ruby scripts that read data from objects (like cabinets, rooms, windows) and output text or calculated values. What ChatGPT cannot fully do on its own It doesn’t know your specific model’s variables (NVPs) unless you provide them It may guess variable names that don’t exist, which leads to broken macros It can struggle with complex relationships in Chief Architect’s data structure (e.g., linking windows to rooms) It can’t modify geometry or core program behavior—only report or calculate data Reality check (important) Think of ChatGPT as a macro assistant, not a plug-and-play generator: Great for: “Write a macro to display cabinet width/height/depth” “Fix this macro error” “Combine these values into a label” Less reliable for: Highly complex automation across multiple objects Anything requiring deep internal Chief Architect relationships Even experienced users note that ChatGPT can get “really close” but still need manual adjustment Best way to use ChatGPT with Chief Architect To get working macros, you should provide: The exact object type (cabinet, room, window, etc.) The NVP variables (from TMM) The goal output Example prompt that works well: “Write a Chief Architect macro using Ruby that outputs cabinet width, height, and depth. Variables are: width, height, depth.” Bottom line Yes, ChatGPT can absolutely help you create macros for Chief Architect 17 But you’ll still need to test, tweak, and supply correct variables It’s best used as a coding partner, not a fully automatic solution If you want, tell me what macro you're trying to build and I can write one tailored to your exact setup

Oh boohoo. You guys got something against circuses? We have a fascinating new tool to use and explore. Lighten up and have a little fun along the way. You’ll probably live longer too. If you find a post that doesn't contain content you are interested in just hit the "Next unread topic" link and move on. I think we are just scratching the surface of a powerful new tool and I am interested in all prompts and the resulting outcomes they produce. JMHO Oops, forgot the prompt: The scene is a circus tent filled with fans and the alien is performing tight rope walking on the high wire holding a 10' long balancing pole and smiling at the fans below.

That's the easy way to do it. I name one copy red oak - horizontal and the second copy red oak - vertical for easy reference. You can also use the rotation angles 0° and 90°.

Robert, please don't take this in any way as a criticism of your image but I find it interesting that AI seems to like to keep cracks in streets and driveways etc. I seem to remember someone else also commenting on this behavior. Usually I would think this would be undesirable as these are often sign of trouble to come. With this in mind I had a play with your image to illustrate the possible outcome of such problems. innocent cracks? Prompt: Show what would happen if a big sink hole appeared in the street where the cracks are around the manhole cover.

We're all just having some fun. Interesting image we've come up with. Should we call this a close encounter of the AI kind? BTW, some people have expressed, shall we say, concern over the little guy's lack of apparel. Not wanting to ruffle anyone's feathers I submit to you an edited version correcting that issue.

Here's a Chief image of a local auditorium I rendered and the AI version created from it. Prompt was to move the camera angle back and up and populate the image with students leaving the auditorium.

When I opened Chat GPT tonight I was greeted by this screen. Someone is listening to their user feedback.

Ain't AI great! Other than the imposed guard rails there are no limits on where you can go.

I'll see your image and raise you one alien.

Need realistic looking people in your renderings? No problem, just tell the program what you want.

I've only been using ChatGPT for about a week but I have had good success at modifying specific objects. Here is an interesting example. I wasn't particularly enamored of the look of the young lady but she was in the pose I wanted. Original Chief PBR image Prompt: photo realistic image showing sky between trees. Prompt: Change only the young lady with the flags to a cute blonde wearing an I (heart icon) racing t-shirt. What do ya think of Chat's choice? Calls to mind the old idiom "I wouldn't kick her/him out of bed for eating crackers"

You might check your Defaults/Walls/General Walls and uncheck "Auto Rebuild Attic Walls". I think this is checked by default but I find that it often creates more problems than it solves.
