X17 - Can't change foundation height anymore? wtf?
MPDesign replied to Michael_Gia's topic in General Q & A
Shot in the dark, did you rebuild the foundation after setting to 24"? Is the room set to unspecified or a room name? Are the defaults for foundation set to your desired settings? Just some thoughts. -
Help Sizing Mulled Window Unit to Match Frame Size
MPDesign replied to DefinedDesign's topic in General Q & A
In my experience, you need to make sure your default setting for minimum separation is set to 0. Then your rough opening settings are set to the Manufacturer's offset. test plan for review attached. mulled window test.plan -
@madcowscarnival I have my setting unchecked as Chris mentioned, I forgot to mention that part. it has been set like that for so long

The blocking in Allen's picture is set to 1/16" and not checked on. Not at my computer. Maybe turning back on?

Have you tried the enter key? that works for x16

claddings Wall layers lapping over each other
MPDesign replied to NZ-DESIGNER's topic in General Q & A
I would recommend using a polyline solid for this instance. I tested your example and came up with the same result. It seams that the wall auto wraps the end with the exterior layer material in elevations. -
I would use the support page on Chief's website. Go to your account screen and use the technical support page.

dimension not showing for dimension which needs leader line
MPDesign replied to SHCanada2's topic in General Q & A
Maybe its your display wall width is turned off -
You can make it to look like your last picture. Solid wall type fill, turn off casing inside and outside. Pick a script type font.

How to create a window wall on top of a roof with no floor
MPDesign replied to BTWKNZ's topic in General Q & A
As Eric said build a 2nd floor. I attached a copy for you to look at. 471651323_TheCorkandCapv3.plan -
Molly I deleted the corner cabinet and placed a new base cabinet. Changed the default front of 3 drawers to 1 false drawer front. Then deleted hardware and stretched from left to right then turned into a corner cabinet. It looks like it's working. hth 410366274_CORNERCAB.TOE-working.plan

Welcome to the community, I'm assuming you are using X16. Try 2 doors stacked vertically and mull them together. Add trim if needed with molding line tool in elevation/ cross section view.

Temporary dimensions for Electrical Fixtures
MPDesign replied to Jake_Caufield's topic in General Q & A
Hi Jake, I don't think there is a way to get temp dims to work. Looks like manually placing or auto room interior using electrical dimension defaults. -
I think manual edit the porch, auto roofs are set to the default roof settings.

I would take an elevation camera view, then import the pdf page and then draw over it with the 3d solid tool. Have you looked at the 3d text we have in the library? Maybe the style will work.
-
Hi Shane, I'm not sure I understand, 2d plan view display doesn't affect the elevation of the column. If you want to edit the column size use the doorway icon on the left of the tool bar. -Procedure for editing the 2d plan view- Place your library column in plan view, select it, then open this icon

Program unusable due to noise since update
MPDesign replied to JanuaryVawter's topic in General Q & A
You mention you just dated to x16, does x15 still work? If not try reinstall chief and then if that fails, I would contact support when they open. I'm just guessing not knowing your machine specs. -
Try editing the 2d cad block of the column first? once you do that and change the size it will adjust the plan view as well.
-
can you show an example, just a thought you could gap the solids by a 1/16"

Linear Ceiling Surface-Mounted Light Fixtures w/ Wrap Around Lens
MPDesign replied to Buster12's topic in General Q & A
Look at the architectural core catalog, Lighting-Tube Lighting-Surface Mounted-Medium & Wide Then change the object material in the Covering category - from standard glass to Milk-White glass. If you need a frame around it make with a polyline molding tool, and group them together to make a block to copy as needed. -
Extending Floor Platform Beyond Exterior Wall
MPDesign replied to Nigel8159's topic in General Q & A
I would suggest that you use an invisible exterior wall to define the floor space. Then place your roof plane.
