I have a client for whom I am designing a sunroom. He wants a wood stove in the design, and I was surprised that there are none in the Chief Architect library. Has anyone done one? Something like this?
-
3ds max would be a good candidate.
-
Rod, I did say almost never.

So I discovered. When adding a new revision it is possible to apply it to one page or to all pages. To edit, one must go page by page. What a time waster! Mind you, had I not made the error in the first place, that would have saved time too. lol!
-
Perhaps this could be added as a schedule?
-
Wow, this would be such a useful tool. In Ontario, window sizes are governed by the floor size of a room. For example, a living room must have, at a minimum, 10%, 5% for bedrooms, and 10% for dining rooms. Being able to automatically create a table like this would be amazing.
-
Ahh, yes, thanks Glenn, you are the man! Thanks, it was so obvious, I just couldn't see it.
-
I really am lost here Glenn, What page revision section?
-
Lets say some really careless designer (ummm me... blush) makes a mistake in an edit table. How can it be edited?
-
Use a Leica DISTO S910 and you will never have to climb a ladder again. Well almost never. You will need the whole kit with the special tripod as well.
-
yes it was. Here are views with PBR and Rendered

CostalArch,
If you are still having problems I would be glad to help out and donate a couple of hours to see if the problem can be sorted out. Send me the plan file or post it in the original thread.
-
That is with the light on.
-
Here is another example of a shattered shade
-
Chopsaw, On this view part of the structure is missing. I didn't notice this until you asked me.
-
In the case of the top view, there was just one part missing.
-
I have seen this on a few fixtures. Parts of shades missing, or strange shattered shade. Ruins the render completely.
-
It would seem that there is more to the missing sides than just the surface mount fixtures!
-
I am guessing, but it would seem that regardless of the shape of the fixture, the light is eminating from a point source. If you look at the geometry of the fixture, and do an imaginary ray trace, the long shadow makes sense in the model. To fix this, in my wild ass guess of an opinion, it would seem that CA will have to program a light source that is a line rather than a point.

I will be adding a fascia for sure. The blocking isn't for the border planks, it is for the biased planks to land on near the border planks. I don't see any way around it. The client loves the border planks, so they are here to stay. As for the deck framing contractor, he will see the design before quoting, so if he has any ideas as to how it can be done better, I will be all ears. I think that perhaps the center blocking is probably not needed in the narrower decks.
-
Here is what the final project should look like.
-
Yeah, I said that later in our back and forth. I did the blank foundation like you said, and then it worked for the blocking. Thanks for that.
-
Here is the deck design concept. The deck sections are created with invisible walls, but that creates a ton of extra framing and foundation piers.
-
I had to do most of that manually. The blocking was copied from an original block placed automatically. I couldn't add any blocking manually using Anything added was at the ceiling level, and even when lowered to the floor level would not trim properly. That was the issue. Since we have been talking I added a blank foundation and now I can see the deck framing in level zero. The blocking tool works fine. The beam tool does not work at all, it just doesn't do anything. The joist tool works but not for deck defaults, for floor defaults. I was hoping for a manual deck editing tool for framing.
-
I started with autobuilt decks, but the joists were not working out at all. I had to manually re arrange the joists, and add support for the deck plank ends where they terminated at the border planks.
