Is this one of those cases where life imitates art?

So... I'm sitting here for the second night in the past 3 listening to the drone of the Generac because the bankrupt giant utility company can't keep the power on. No cable or internet so I took the opportunity to have a quick play with my Chief interpretation of 'drag style'.

The easiest way is to use some image editing software to crop your 8x8 image down to a 6x8 image and then use that image to create a 6x8 material. Very cool tile BTW. It's a dogs head from whichever direction you view it.

@DarlingInc I would be very cautious about upgrading just the GPU on a 9 year old computer. These new video cards are physically enormous and require oodles of power. There is a good chance the card will not fit in your motherboard and case and your power supply probably can't supply the cables needed to power it. By the time you upgrade your case, motherboard, power supply and video card you're probably better off shopping for a new rig. As for what level of performance to choose for the components I prefer to settle in one version below whatever is the latest and greatest release. Usually available, cheaper, and more reliable without much of a drop off in performance.

Is this one of those trick questions? I would show a scale drawing and populate it with a couple of vehicles.

Yes, it was just a joke! How dare you Robert! You should realize by now that humor is frowned upon in these forums and often even censored. People get so wrapped up in their little crises that they lose sight of the fact that laughter is in fact good medicine. https://www.helpguide.org/articles/mental-health/laughter-is-the-best-medicine.htm BTW, I thought your original response was both funny and appropriate given the amount of info supplied.

@vikiw_bendyou're oh so close. See the pinned thread just above your post or contact @SusanC.

Funny, when I did a Google search for drag style this is what I got. I was pretty sure you had something else in mind.

Something like this? This is two 3D solids.

Unless of course you are a special individual. I ran all the numbers and by far the best deal for existing SSA holders is to extend your SSA for 2 years. At this rate you are paying $49.58 per month for 24 months. You will need to call sales to get the 2 year deal as it is not available online.

Wow! To each his own but you guys are way off base IMHO. I would venture to say that Eric has spent more of his time helping posters to this forum than 99% of the members here. Over time I can see where he has come to the conclusion that It is far more worthwhile to teach people to do things for themselves than it is to do those things for them over and over again. The old "teach a man to fish" thing. I can see the wisdom of this approach. Are we here to learn the program or only to be spoon fed solutions?

I put a copy of this in my Chief folder. Just figured it might be handy to have verification straight from the horses mouth.

Do you want to hide them or just make them fit the window opening? If you apply the window treatments from inside the "Window Specification" DBX the pulls will resize to fit the dimensions of the window. It looks like you applied them directly from the core library to the window. Depending on the view type you use you can hide the pulls by changing their material type to "opening (no material)". They will be hidden in Standard and Physically Based views but will still show in Vector and line views.

I'll probably get lambasted for this but I have never understood why Chief insists in devoting so many resources catering to such a small market share. Doesn't make sense on any level to me.

Very impressive as usual Dave. The only problem we have is that the folks in our neck of the woods aren't smart enough to figure out what the address is.

So you’re measuring an as built for an addition and there is a large feature (tree, structure, utility pole etc.) on the lot and you would like to get a good quesstimate of its size. Here is a quick and easy way using only a stick or pole of known length and your cell phone: Measure the length of the pole and then stand it up beside the feature you want to measure. Back up a ways to reduce distortion and take a photo. Import your photo into a Chief plan and measure the length of the pole in the plan. If the pole is the correct length (run out and buy a Lotto ticket because it’s your lucky day) but it most likely will measure shorter than its actual length. Divide the known length of the pole by the measured length in the plan. This will give you the resize factor you will need to enlarge the photo. Select the photo in the plan and use the Transform/Replicate to enlarge the photo by the resize factor you calculated. The photo is now to scale and you can pull any dimensions you may want from the plan. In this example we wanted to get a good ballpark figure for the height of some redwood trees on the property. I had a 17 foot piece of pvc pipe which we stood up for the photo.

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.

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?

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.
