    Looks like you missed this in the PM I sent, so I'll repeat here.

     

    Everyone here appreciates it when new members complete their signature with some basic info including their version of Chief. Makes it easy for others to locate, and results in you getting the best answers.

     

    You can add that info, Windows or Mac computer etc to your signature by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left.

     

    Thanks

     

    I received your boiler plate private message and did perform a cursory review of it.  While I didn't have time to go through and update my profile and signature last night, I did ensure to put the details that you asked that I place in my signature right in the body of the new topic that I started.

    I made updating my signature my first priority this morning, so hopefully it will appear at the bottom of this post.

  2. I'm pretty new to the Chief Architect 3D Viewer Cloud, but have used it a few times this year and found it extremely valuable.

     

    Once viewing a 3D rendering using the 3D Viewer I myself have no issues going in and changing the rendering technique, but I don't want to have to expect the others I share the Viewer with to be able to do so themselves.

     

    I'm wondering if there is a way to ensure that when someone opens up a link I send them to the 3D Viewer that it would automatically open the rendering in 'Standard' instead of 'Basic'?  I'm using X14 Build 24.3.0.84 on a Windows 64-Bit system (MSI Ge66 Raider Gaming Laptop) if it matters.

     

    I've performed a search here on this topic, but came up empty.  I'm guessing what I'm asking to do is not possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

     

    Thanks

  3. I have been using HD Pro on and off for years, but upgraded to X14 this year.  I used HD Pro infrequently enough to basically have to relearn it every time I go to use it.

     

    I've made a simple 4'x8' sign in the past using HD Pro.  I swear I just imported a logo as an image into the User Catalog and then selected that image as the material for the sign and it worked fine. 

     

    Trying to do this again now that I've upgraded to X14 I'm having no luck at all.  I can import the logos I want to use on the signs just fine and when I have the Library Browser open I can see them all down in the User Catalog.  However, when I open up the item that I want to apply the logo to and then browse through the Library Browser to the User Catalog there is nothing in the User Catalog for me to choose from.

     

    I think in the past I made my signs out of Closed Boxes from the library catalog, but I wasn't able to apply an image to those boxes, so I then tried creating the sign out of a 3D solid, which didn't work either.

     

    I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing here, so I hope this is an easy one for you experts to help me out on.

     

    Thanks
