Where would I find your You Tube videos?

Clicking on the YouTube link at the bottom of

solver's signature might be a good place to start.

Nice enough walk-thru but what's up with that reefer?

It's at least upside down and backward (maybe inside

out to boot). There is no way to flip or rotate it to make

the "chilled" read right and if those handles are really

down there then there is no way Perry or me is ever

gonna use it. 

Chief has a couple of fairly crude bicycle symbols

in the "Home Essentials No.4 Garage accessories"

bonus catalog. The downloads available go all the

way back to version X8.

Here's # 1000 on me. 

Looks like Solver has a solution but I couldn't help but

notice the interesting decor in the pic. I especially liked

that rack of antlers on the deer on the wall.

Anyone knows the surface layers I can use for such roof?

Peal and stick baby!

Sheath the roof with OSB and tape the joints to seal them. Apply any flashing and drip edge:

Seal the roof with the recommended sealant:

Roll out the roofing material removing the covering on the adhesive backing as you go:

 Easy peasy, this is the stuff:

GAF   Liberty 3 ft. x 34 ft. (100 sq. ft.) SBS Self-Adhering Cap Sheet Roll for Low Slope Roofing in White

OK, I see, you want curved panels. So build curved

panels. This was done using Molding Polylines to

build the wainscoting and a Material Region for the

wallpaper.

I don't know? I just applied the wainscoting from the 

library to a curved wall. Are we overthinking this?

is it even possible to go back to the last version of X15?  A download somewhere?

Sure, all you need is the .msi file. Do you know 

what release number you want? I have the fallowing

numbers in stock:

25.0.2.58

25.0.2.65

25.0.3.69

25.1.0.45

25.2.0.53

25.3.0.77

BTW, The files are like 300MB so getting it to you

could be an issue.

Its in the Help Files:

The Help files seem to be out of date. Many moons ago

Chief increased the button sizes from 20 x 20 pixels to

128 x 128 pixels. At 20 x 20 you only had 400 pixels to

create a button image compared to 16.384 pixels at

the new 128 x 128 size.

You can use any image editing software to create a

128 x 128 pixel PNG image. Be aware that Chief will

overwrite any edited buttons you may have created

with every software update or new version release so

it's a good idea to save any buttons you have made

into a separate folder so you can reinstall them after

updating.

Here are a few before and after samples of buttons I 

have edited to suit my tastes. New ones on top, original

ones underneath.

I believe the "recommended" practice is to draw walls in

a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a

counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. 

Select a roof plane and the "Place Roof Plane

Intersection Point" tool will become available for you.

I have moved over to a Mac Studio recently because I was fed up with the amount of house keeping time it took to maintain a windows PC. Even my Microsoft surface pro still takes up too much time keeping it up to date.

Interesting observation. I have the exact opposite

problem with Windows. I spend too much time

trying to keep it from wanting it to update itself

whether or not I want to update. Go figure. 

Don't know how I missed this one. Thanks JT.

Flattery will get you everywhere with me.  

If you're a glutton for punishment you can accomplish

a lot with material regions. For example I made all of

the seams in the front of this local auditorium using

material regions set to cut the finish layers.   

That's only because they haven't spilled the soup yet. 

Holy Cow, look at all the red ink. I hope I'm not

putting myself in peril if I suggest this discussion

might be best served if it were to be resumed in

the thread that had to do with discord. 

Besides someone could get impaled on the tail fins of that pink caddy .

Will using a Molding Polyline give you the effect you are after?

...but one factor that may be have been overlooked is the fact that this forum responses represent a very, very small number of users.

You know Larry I was always of this opinion also

but I have to admit that I was astounded, nay dare

I say flabbergasted, to see that a topic that has 

been on the board for 17 days has had 14,600

views. To put that in perspective the instructional

thread for the Q&A forum which has been at the

top of this forum for going on 9 years now has only

been viewed 8,100 times. 

14,600 views divided by 17 days =  858.8 views per day

8,100 divided by 3285 (365 x 9) days =  2.5 views per day

You know, I created this image on a lark but ever

since we have been having a spirited debate as

to just what exactly it is. 

Is this an example of 2D 3D? Or is it 3D 2D?

Is it a 2D rendering or a 3D rendering. 

Sorry, somehow this seemed germane to this topic. 

Now I'm getting confused. So are we talking about 

a Spanish home done in the Italian manner?
