Creating large profile 24x48 tile in Chief Tile Builder
scottharris replied to Elliot's topic in General Q & A
For a 4’ x 2’ tile, you will probably want a higher resolution, like 4096; then increase your pixels to 288” x 288”. These were the settings I used for the attached scene, the tile is 2:1. For exact sizing – I sometimes will apply the material to a wall, take an elevation and then overlay gridlines at the desired size; then adjust the pixel export so it lines up. -
Temp 3d dimensions not going to ceiling surface?
scottharris replied to Renerabbitt's topic in General Q & A
Is your dimension default set to wall surfaces? -
Looks like some of your walls were edited top or bottom. See if resetting the 'default top height' and 'default bottom height' works - on the 1st floor.

Survey built Terrain to Proposed Terrain
scottharris replied to EmpireDrafting's topic in General Q & A
If you have a place you can upload the plan, send a link. With Terrain, you do not want over lapping terrain data. So, when you add new terrain, you may need to remove existing terrain elevation information. -
Maybe due to your wall type? Can you post your plan ?

You might check what Text Style is used for the Label; then adjust it to your desired size.

How do I get photo realistic renderings in X17?
scottharris replied to agorres's topic in General Q & A
There are several videos on ray tracing if you search that term on the chief website. Here's a summary video to help https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10288/ray-trace-rendering-using-area-lights.html -
No, Chief Architect is not selling customer information. Why are you getting ads? Possibly related to any searches you made on the internet.

Correct. You can use the Simpson Library for most hangers/connectors.

GPU ray tracing is the core rendering technology in X17; the CPU ray tracer was removed – info why in this post. If you want to improve your GPU ray tracing, here's a video https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1972/ray-tracing-gpu-lighting.html

corner base cabinet bi-fold doors show as open
scottharris replied to RogerPlansit's topic in General Q & A
For your corner cabinet, you can open the door. Try 45 deg. (90 deg. opens it; but, it's incorrect). To insert a lazy susan, change to self selection using a library object - I used a rev-a-shelf model. X17 does have top stretchers that are automatic for frameless boxes. -
