    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

    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...

    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

    Thanks Joey, that did the trick.
  19. ericepv
    Good idea Joey. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any GIS info for the property, I'll have to do my best estimate with Google maps.

    I need to do a survey on a fairly large commercial building for which there are no existing architectural drawings or municipal survey available. Does anyone know of an online aerial survey service that can give me fairly accurate dimensions from a satellite view (such as Bing or Google maps)?

    Make all of your adjustments first and then turn on the additional lighting for your RT. As an alternative, have you considered a PBR RT instead? I've found this method provides superior results for interior renderings and is much quicker.
  23. ericepv
    Yes, it will do that but it's the finished RT that counts.

    You need much more light than the 30 Lumens you have specified now, try bumping that up to around 750. You could also try changing the can lights to spots instead of point lights with a moderate lumen setting and tn use added light sources set at 500-1000 lumens (you'll need to experiment a bit) and place them no more than 60in high (to avoid a bright spot on the ceiling. I'd also keep the ambient light at a minimum (too much makes the scene look flat) and try adding some sunlight.
