It's not yelling as I draft in caps

Are you an user? Not many of us. RAB made a video that included some stacked mouldings but it's still a bit you know fudgy trying to make it work

This is very frustrating as was fine before when chief auto updated the name to the file when saving

Thanks everyone. I need to look more into stacked mouldings I think. They don't seem to be that intuitive to me but I'm stupid

It's all good, Mark. I worked it out. Thanks so much. Great work.

Also 2100mm in width

Hi Mark3D, would you be able to convert this so I can just use it down one side of the building? I haven't actually worked with stacked mouldings so I don't know how to adapt it.

Will do, thanks so much.

Thanks so much. It's close, but the radius just needs to be so much tighter and then flat on the top.

Hi all, can anyone create a bullnose veranda roof that looks like the attached? For now I have ended up doing it in a 3D solid with a moulded polyline, but it's making the software very laggy.

Thanks Mark. ill open it up and have a look

Any chance of a quick explanation of how I can use this script This ? Method 2: Using the Text Macro Management dialog Select the object you want to write a script for in your plan or layout. Go to CAD > Text > Text Macro Management. In the Text Macro Management console, select Object Properties to view the available variables (NVPs) for that object. Choose the NVP variables you need for your script. Specify the context of your script, whether it should run on the owner object, a referenced object, or both. Use the dialog to write or edit your macro script, making sure to correctly reference the NVPs and specify the script's context.

ANY ANSWER TO THIS?

previous to x17 export picture used to save into my downloads with an automatic name i.e untitled 123 (if i didn't name it) then the next auto name would be untitled 124. x17 now forces a new name to save too every time or it overwrites the old name. can this be changed to auto create like x16?

is it possible to drop wall cabinet door face lower than carcass to create a finger pull ?

can one of you post your toolbar that works on your machine and ill import to see if makes a difference ?

Just doesn't work for me. i even checked the code in the toolbar folder and it looks ok from what i can see. these small things really bug the life out of me Screen Recording 2025-04-20 080618.mp4

working in x15. i must have some messed up setting. update checked on a fresh install of x16 and also not working....weird

Tried restarting with no luck. i think i imported a toolbar last time then added to it but not sure. definitely not 400 custom objects

I cannot remember how I managed to make this work. When attempting to place a library object, it does not group on the same bar or add to an existing one. The only way it seems to function is by creating multiple separate Screen Recording 2025-04-18 093652.mp4 bars. I am certain I am overlooking something simple here but cannot recall what to do. Please assist.

I am also in Australia and have used chief since V10 yes along time and still love it. Chief has really improved as of late and I am hooked again. I have created my own a & l window library as that's who I use as a builder and standardised all the kitchen tools to create icons to drag and drop iconic with everything to Australia standards i.e blum hardware, fingerpulls ect ect which all takes alot of time but once done they are yours for life. Lots of fun

MarcMc. thanks for the info. ill post a super quick video to help others or remind myself. there was a typo in the macro which should read %height-countertop_thickness-toekick_height% total height 900mm - 40mm countertop - 150mm kicker = 710mm (works a treat). Never really played with macros before but very interesting. Screen Recording 2024-10-30 204916.mp4

wow thanks i will give it a whirl and thanks for posting a file also

Hi Chiefs Does anyone know if it is possible to get a cabinet schedule to produce the actual carcass height i.e without toe kick or countertop as this is the measurement used when ordering cabinets on plastic feet. I see you have two height option in the schedule. one for box height which included toe kick and carcass and one full height which included toe kick, carcass and countertop. I realize you could probably draw without a toe kick then use a polyline solid to produce the toe kick to force the size to work but would be great just work from within chief???
