    Chief can do a great job with your renderings, finding the right materials & textures is key.

    Here are a couple of exteriors I modeled and rendered in X14, the grass textures came from here: http://www.tonytextures.com/free-green-nature-ground-texture-photo-gallery/

    I downloaded Win 11 a few days ago. So far, no issues.

    As I've not seen any posts lately regarding Win 11/Chief problems, I thought I'd take advantage of the holiday break to do the upgrade. Am I correct to assume that all of the earlier issues have been resolved?

    You need to adjust the texture using the 'Define Material' tool. Read more about it here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01006/customizing-a-library-material.html

    Here's one I found in my library which I downloaded from 3D Warehouse awhile back. Throw 02.skp

    For that, you can build it from a polyline. Take a look at one of these Knowledge Base articles for one that applies to your situation https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=support&q=polyline+solids You could also download a symbol and apply the material of your choice. Lot's to choose from here https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=blanket&searchTab=model Hope this helps - Eric

    You can use any of the materials in the core library (lot's to choose from in the 'Fabrics & Wall Covering' tab, including plaids) or you can import your own material https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00767/creating-a-new-material.html
  11. ericepv
    You have a couple of options: Open the symbol, go to the materials tab and then and then click on 'Select Material' (to the left of the preview window) and search for the material of your choice. or Search for the material in your library and then apply it to the object using eyedropper tool. Here's a link to some knowledge base article that may be helpful https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/8/materials.html

    There are bed and bedspread models in the core catalog (Interiors/Furniture/Beds) to which you can apply a plaid pattern which you can also find in the core library (Materials/Fabric & Wall covering/Checks & Plaids).

    A bedroom remodel rendering...

    I usually use a pass-thru (under the windows tab) for something like this. You can delete the sill, casing and frame.

    I don't ever do much with terrain in Chief (they don't make it easy) so I would appreciate some tips on how best to recreate the terrain shown in the photo below...
  22. ericepv
    Email your plan to me directly (Zip it first) and I can take care of it.Address is in my signature.

    I need to draw his curved roof dormer but I'm having trouble with the windows. I can't quite get the curve of the windows or the height of the upper sash right. I have tried both a Broken Arch and a Double Arch (Left/Right checked) Any suggestions would be welcome. Eric
