So it’s a few days after Christmas and I’ve opened up that great shiny gift under the tree (X 18) and now I’m already feeling a little underwhelmed. Best feature is, control fill style by layer. Which every other software of this type has been doing since the invention of the Internet. My problem is the lack of attention to all of those longstanding problems we keep harping about on this site. Why? attaching dimensions to items still feels clunky and awkward. cad isn’t any better. On screen zoom level as a percentage still doesn’t exist. Unless I scroll in and hold a ruler up to my screen. Stairs have stopped evolving since the Mesozoic era. We need a window building tool not this horrible mulling of windows. Well, just go to the Suggestions Forum to see the rest because it’s clear the nobody in Chief has even seen that section of the chat.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

looks undermount to me but it's as if your counter is semitransparent? It you look towards the faucets it's clearly undermount but then around front I'm seeing through the counter at the cut-out edge.

Print Preview. It does not preview any print. Either I'm taking crazy pills or certain folks/fanboys here protect Chief at all cost. It's their team. they can do no wrong. If printing to PDF was a snappy process I wouldn't mind. I would just print and no big deal, but as you all know printing to pdf is slow as molasses. So it would be nice to have a print preview. I guess I'm overly demanding.

I didn’t know the D in your initial was for downvote.

Do you realize if you have a command called "print preview" then it should show exactly what the printed document would look like? Otherwise call it "more or less approximate print preview maybe" Then that would be genuine.

Does absolutely nothing. I wish it would work like a pdf in Acrobat where ctrl 0, displays actual size where you can use a ruler on your monitor and it’s to scale.

adjust depth of window pane is great. I can finally have a section showing the brick reveal that's accurate.

René is on another level.

You are correct. But it was a hopeful illusion for a moment.

I tried messing with room dividers to at least get the condition in plan view but as you can see in 3D it doesn't match the plan.

you’re in luck, they clearly don’t pay attention to this forum for future development!

We don’t need more 3D stuff.

Yes, use another software. This is one of the most frustrating bugs ever since the grass region was introduced. Great that we have that feature (half baked) but not great that it doesn't just turn off by hiding it's layer. Unless someone else can chime in, I don't know the fix for this. I would love to get embarrassed with a solution. Which is why I use AI to do my final renderings. No grass region to deal with. Don't waste your time. Chief is not for renderings.

I would love to be able to create my terrain using 3D solids and then, simply convert 3D solid to terrain.

Not crickets, just overwhelming. I think you are overthinking this. Let AI do the work. One simple prompt is all you need.

Did René buy Chief?

So, you are saying that you can bang out PBR's on the level as what AI is doing in a few seconds? Or am I misunderstanding? I understand that an NVIDEA graphic machine is lightening fast compared to any Mac but garbage is garbage. You can't compare to what AI can do in under 20 seconds on any machine. I would like to see Chief focus on stuff like material lists, staircases, wall snapping issues, poor cad tools, poor dimensioning tools and all that other stuff that although is boring and wont increase sales but is very important and the long and faithful customer base has been clamouring for since many many years.

Below is simply a "partition wall" Drywall on interior side only. Check "partition" in the wall type definition dbx (wall properties tab) It won't connect to the (in this case) two perpendicular walls. I often have to do this for when I have plumbing coming up an exterior wall. (can't have that here in the great white north)

You lie

Even just the hatch patterns and include the swatches of material from a screen capture and AI will make its own seamless texture and do a much better job. (I'm using Gemini with the Image feature - all free) p.s. I attended the webinar yesterday regarding AI in Chief. from what I saw, it seems AI will be incorporated in X18 to enhance video walkthroughs, I think?

petition to move @Rich_Winsor permanently to the chatroom since he can't behave.

You can just feed it an elevation with only the pattern lines, along with the sample swatches of whatever material you want to use, and it will generate the seamless textures itself. like this….

I don’t wanna be a party pooper, but this was a great thread and it’s turned into a circus unfortunately. Maybe we need a new section for serious posts only?

who do I need to pay to get you moved up the priority ladder?...
