I have been noticing a significant slow down in rtrt with denoise set quite low at 25, it used to take a few seconds at most, now it takes 15 secs, might seem trivial but it was super fast before, what is happening? is it a windows update? Anyone else noticing this slow down? I am also getting the blue circle of death happen quite regularly, chief is trying to write or update 3d model, takes about 3-4 mins to release..I have sent it in, waiting to hear back from Chief. It happens so much I might have to stop using x15 until it gets fixed...

Here is the polyline with the legs of the extrusion pulled away from each other, you can see there will be no closed cells.

I had to cut polyline through all the cores so it wasn't closed at all(if you look close you can see cuts), specifying holes does not work.

I am working on some 3d section details and I want to use a pvc window section as a molding. I have built the polyline and subtracted the cores, when i make it a molding ca does not remove cores. Is this possible to do? If so how do you do it?

Rene what do you recommend now for a cost effective tablet with pen for asbuilt measures using chief?

My point was you can pay yourself to do this why would you pay canvas when you still have to go there anyways? here is a local company in my market that will do it for $0.20/sq ft

Another way to look at it is, 30 min drive each way 2hrs measure on site 1hr cleanup back in office(very generous) total 4hrs x &100/hr = $400 full 3D model with all windows and doors. (no cabs) with roof

The cost totally defeats the purpose of doing the scan yourself. I just did a 2200 sq ft 2 storey asbuilt house measure with chief and a laser measure device right into chief on my laptop in an 1.5hrs. ( had a bunch of levels, normally would take 1hr) if it cost me $330 to do this and drive there and back I could just pay a local asbuilt business to go and do the measure and provide a cadd dwg.. for less than $330..

Nice Job Rene, how would i make it drop down further? In this case I have a 90" high soffit and one would want tv to get within 6" of a 30" high cabinet, you t want tv to be this high.

Thanks Susan, this will work nicely, didnt know it was there.

I need help converting this flush hood fan to chief. Can anyone convert this file so I can import it to chief? Is there a converter i can use, or do you have to have revit? 6329.zip

trying to make a cabinet drawer that drops out of ceiling to expose a flat panel tv. I made the tv a millwork item and changed drawer in cabinet to the tv, just cant figure out how to rotate the cabinet or make it a symbol that still has a drawer but opens down out of ceiling. Anyone have an idea how to do this?

Renee have you ever built a cabinet door that hinges and then slides away for a bar or coffee station?

I clicked these options, why does it work for applied panels but not your custom panels? doesn’t make sense to apply a gable and not have it go to door front? A bit off topic…Fyi I have been using some styles and now have to make gables and fillers with cabinets because ca doesn’t include panels in styles but includes back splash.. makes no sense? Is there another option?

Mark how do you get these side panels to be flush with doors and go down to floor?

I found this on the web..but it is in a .rfa formatt... its a Revit format anyone have Revit that could convert this to a .skp or a format chief can open? Sink-Under_Mount-Kitchen-KOHLER-Vault-K-3822.rfa

I think there is always room for improvement in construction documents and stairs… But the rtrt is awesome.. everything starts with a vision and design.. to be able to produce quality rtrt in minutes is amazing. check out these photos of design through to finished product..

Yes.. thanks for that

Here is a calacatta gold 24x48 tile texture i made using Justin's tile builder and a seamless texture file from architexture I had to turn pixel count way up in order to get a proper grout line with such a large tile, so texture might be big. https://accounts.chiefarchitect.com/360/view?share=550422850013302 Calacatta Gold Large Formatt Tile.calibz

Good idea.. I forgot I could do that

anyone have an old x10 elkay library you can share?

I updated bonus library and i don't have a kitchen design style library?

this sink is a top mount, and the undermount doesn't cut counter properly?

Thanks Rob.. I will check it out. Don’t you find it strange there are not more?
