You cannot do it automatically. Probably the fastest way is to 1) remove the drawer hardware and 2) manually place the hardware for the drawer (in plan view and then position in elevation)

The 'gable line' tool might work quickly using the automatic roof tools. See the attached plan. ROOF GABLE LINE.plan

The rendering is technical illustration. Our marketing group is tracking down the plan and will try and post it (provided we have permission from the designer). It’s a design from Michael Rust, you can see more on this link.

Here's the video link chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5226/displaying-pony-walls-in-layout.html

Give our Tech Support a call and see if they can help.

This is a good question. There’s not a way to do this based on layers. Here’s one way you could do it (it may not be ideal when you need to update the plan) Set your pony wall to display the upper wall – send to layout as an image; then, change the pony wall to display the lower wall – send to layout. EDIT: There's a better way - see the video link below.

Interesting issue – it should be solved in the attached plan. Because you used two walls for your exterior furred wall there are several little wall segments (visible & invisible). Perhaps you could build one wall type for the exterior block and the interior fur to make it easier? To ‘fix’ it quickly: I copied your plan, deleted the basement level, rebuilt it as an empty floor and did a copy/paste hold position from your original plan (with all layers on) Concrete Furred Stem Wall.calibz living-space.zip

You might check your video driver and update if possible. It sounds like an issue we have seen with older drivers (even when the computer is new)

For the interior renders with PBR, use a sun angle if the sun accuracy matters for your scene. In the sun setting for that angle (or the generic sun), try turning the intensity down, say 25K. And, set the color of the sun – white? Also in the PBR settings try adjusting the camera exposure (.3) and the brightness (50) – settings that you think look best.

Make sure you have lights for the scene, and in the PBR settings try adjusting the camera exposure (.3) and the brightness (50)

When you are drawing a wall, line or ? - BEFORE you let go of the left mouse button, press the tab key which bring up a dialog allowing you to enter information (note, this does not work in CA Interiors)

Gregg, this is what we recommend in our system requirements: NVIDIA GeForce

Mark, thanks much for setting up this webinar July 11 - looking forward to it.

Is this plan like what you are trying to do?
