Looks good, but how do you use pony walls?

That seems like a whole lot of work. it would take for ever. there must be an easier way?

I want to show a flush base and door trim anyone know how to do this easily with chief?

Thanks.. I think I was saving as a block to my library.. not sure why, I have created and saved many symbols to my library... then you can stretch and reverse.. cheers Merry Christmas

Thanks do much everyone.. it never ceases to amaze me the help I get on this forum, thank you. ca says I can just go to library and drop a door wherever I want.. but the only go into walls. the reason I wasn’t using the bonus library for barn doors is I lock the rolling brackets to door and then I can open or close barn door by selecting and sliding left or right, this can not be done with preloaded doors. i also just stretch track to suitable length based on opening. anyone have tips and tricks they use with barn doors?

i will try it, i copied and pasted plan into a new one and that seemed to work. Merry Christmas

eric if i delete current floor command, wont that delete the plan? this design is for a basement.

Hi all, i have this basement plan and when i go to full extents it zooms way out...I cant find out where the rogue object is. I have attached plan for anyone to open and try and let me know what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. smith basement.zip

All I did was change that floor to -24”.. so there is no room above.

I have a drop floor 24" and a half wall with a stair bumped up against it..ca wants to draw a wall at ceiling? If i pull stair away it goes away but then half wall going down stairs is not sloped any more Anyone have an answer?

Mark if I have a bank of drawers next to a wall or inside corner of adjacent cabinets there will always be a space like 1.25-3” to allow for drawer and door opening. chief puts auto fillers in but flush with cabinetry not the doors so it looks amateurish.. we flush our fillers to front of drawers and doors. i wish ca had an option of where fillers were placed.. ie cabinet face or drawer/door face.

I got a new msi gaming laptop and I need to transfer all files to it, what is best way to do this? is there a way to connect both computers and do a transfer of files? dies it make sense to save files and libraries to google so I can access them anytime? Also we are looking to get a second license and think I want to have access to libraries. only thing does it slow down chief if I use google vs having files/libraries on a solid state drive ?

Hi mark, i have another instance where i have two full height wall cabinets and a shorter one in middle...i need side panels on each full height cab..cant get it to work on both sides? cabinet auto panel plan 2.zip

OMG.... thanks that is awesome... I work for a custom cabinet shop and we do full house renos as well, i am the in house designer/project mgr. We build all our cabinet boxes with prefinished birch plywood so all our exposed sides need plant on gables...i have been adding these manual for ever... We also do flush mount fillers for all drawers and doors...something ca will not do automatically? So would you set the cabinets default to auto panel for both sides and then turn off the side that was not needed?

here is a plan with only one cabinet cabinet auto panel plan.zip

i tried both a flat panel and a door panel, tried it for both upper and lower cabinet...it does nothing. here is my setup...

HI Mark, funny thing i turned on the same items in accessories you did and nothing happened? Any thoughts on why?

HI all, we use plant on gables for all our cabinets and have them extend flush to front of doors. In ca there is an option to add side panels but it defaults to cabinet depth, any way to change this? I have been using manual gables for this but it should be automatic i think as an option.

Help...i cant for the life of me figure out where the layout box label defaults are located... Can someone point me in the direction...

The problem is grout line is too thin. its too bad there aren’t more hex tile textures as they are very popular now.

How do you write that macro

thanks david, the carrara can be used but the other has no grout and if i increase size the grout lines will be too big and show mesh through

I am looking for some large format hex tile textures, cant seem to find them anywhere. maybe 8 or 10" across, black, marble, etc... Anybody have some? I am little surprised ca doesnt have more or any?

I am trying to get an insulation count from material list and i have it checked but no insulation is showing up? Also for drywall it removes openings for drywall, how could you use this to give you total sq ft including all openings?

Thanks guys, so I need to make a fence panel a little narrower than my posts and build the fence panel with the tie beam 3/4 the way up, is this right? sounds like I will need a polyline solid above doors or gates in fence since ca will not allow the fence to go over a shorter door.
