I really don't know how you guys put up with

this never ending regulation. Next thing you

know they will be limiting the VOCs in the

construction workers farts (though this might

not be a bad idea ).

Don't know if this was mentioned but one of the main reasons

I prefer to build my own rigs is that you can install only the

applications you want. You don't get a machine with all kinds

of bloatware eating up your resources before you even start.

Isn't this what PNG files are for?

What a great thread, but we need to get back on topic.

Just finished the pour for our duplex garage. We used the

AnchorMates to good effect. Another downside to "stab and

jab" is that hopefully there is some rebar in there that can

get in the way. I had my guys tie the anchor bolts together

with a length of rebar. If this garage blows over it's gonna

take the foundation with it.   

Here's a fuzzy shot getting laid out for the pour.  

If it doesn't work out for you, you could put

your name on the list for one of these.

... I felt like I was watching an episode of Bob Ross painting.  

LOL… and here is a happy little Normal Map that I like to apply to my floor texture.

I found some basic pipe fittings @ 3D Warehouse and was

able to import them into Chief but I wasn't smart enough to

get the origin offsets to line up properly so aligning the

fittings onto the pipes was a total crap shoot. The results

turned out pretty well though.

Don't know what to say Chad, but your image

is showing a wood grain texture that isn't the

default for Siding 6. Have you applied a bump

or normal map to your siding? BTW, zooming

in or out doesn't change anything on my end.

FWIW, I'm not seeing this either in camera views

or in exported pictures of the camera views.

...I am going to spend an entire day doing nothing but testing out every tool and clicking everything that can be clicked on and figure this program out.

A noble aspiration my friend, but I think you might

need to set aside a little more time for this project.

I don't want to discourage you but I have been

doing this years now (since X5) and there are still

options I haven't explored.

I was thinking perpetual motion...

….I also checked to see what the down vote was for and it certainly was not warranted, so a gave you a point to get you back to 0.

Hey Eric, is this a service you are offering because

if it is I have about a dozen down votes you might

look into.

I use a very vanilla tool bar layout, but what

I do is to have all the tool bars at the top or

left edge of the screen. What with the ever

expanding workspace on the larger and

higher resolution monitors this allows for

much less mouse travel to access the tool

bars. I generally keep the Browsers and

ALDO open on a second monitor.

that's alright ...take the piss ....   I work hard to beat CS to every post ....... was just making sure I didn't confuse a Newbie is all.....

 

M.

Sorry KB. I wasn't ragging on you. My intent was to

facetiously comment on Chop's willingness to go the

"extra mile/millisecond" for us. It just struck me as

funny, but I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't

put out the extra effort to get it right. At least I cracked

myself up.

When you installed the program , did you download the Core Catalog libraries when asked?

if not goto Library >Download Core Catalogs....

Chopsaw has the Wording correct.....

Yes that took an extra millisecond but it was hauntingly similar to your post.

I noticed the similarity too Chopper. Thanks for

taking the extra time to get the wording right.

Sorry, I can't help you out bro, but what the hell

kind of license plates are on that Ram?

This is simply not true.  Plenty of long time Chief users are not efficient at all. 

 

Hey! Quit picking on me. I use the Manual. It makes

a good step to reach things on high shelves.

I'm looking at a Lenovo desktop.  Do these specs seems top of the line?

 

Not exactly. That hard drive is a dinosaur. Don't settle

for anything less than a SSD. Also Windows 10 Home

is terrible. If you insist on Windows 10 get the Pro

version. At least you will get a limited degree of control

over the relentless updating process.

Damn Mark, is there anything you can't make from a cabinet?

You can use the "Add Lights" tool to add additional

light sources to your image. Once you have added

an additional source you can control it's properties

in the "Light Specification" DBX.

Hey Chief,  please change the super bowl numbers....

LOL! Shouldn't this be in the Suggestions section.

I'm thinking it would be appropriate to update the

numbering system to binary. That would mean that

we are coming up to SUPER BOWL 110101.

Thanks Dermot. This should be an "official" enough answer for the Chopster.

I couldn't find the original thread, but I wanted to

thank Michael for the time and effort he put into

the presentation. Lots of nice nuggets (as DScott

would say) to process but for me one of the best

was learning what effect the "Smoothing Angle"

has on the Delete Surface tool. As someone who

does a fair amount of new Symbol creation, not

having to try to individually delete dozens of symbol

fragments has already saved me a bunch of time.

Unfortunately my cheapo headset decided that it

would no longer be recognized by my computer so

I was left without a microphone, but if I had one the

question that kept occurring to me was: "How in the

heck did you figure all this $hit out?"   Thanks! 

I'm sure I wasn't the first, but I have been lobbying for this for years.
