  1. I have several symbols of people seated (you provide the seat) that I've acquired over the years, 2d & 3d. Do you need a male or female?
  2. Where is your terrain set relative to the sub-floor of the house?
  3. A very simple way to alter the room height for just one room...
  4. I've done several projects like this, glad to help. PM sent.
  5. I'd be happy to help, please give me a call to review.
  6. You can specify the flooring, walls, etc as you would in any other room through the DBX for the room or the walls.
  7. Your problem appears to be in the wall properties and your default settings. This article from the Knowledge base explains it in detail https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00658/specifying-which-wall-layer-exterior-dimensions-locate.html
  8. The total thickness of your lower wall (foundation) is 8" but your pony wall (lower section) is 8 15/16".
  9. You'll need to build a new floor, here's a tutorial from the Knowledge base: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00295/creating-a-flat-parapet-roof.html
  10. It looks like you need to adjust the height of your porch. Best to post the plan so we can get a look at whats going on with your plan.
  11. Palmer: Follow these steps Select your top drawer and then click 'Lock from Auto Resize' Select the other two drawers and make sure that "Lock from Auto Resize' is unchecked Select the 'Vertical Layout Parent' at the top of the list and then click 'Equalize' The bottom 2 drawers should now be equal size, Check out this article for more info https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02945/designing-cabinet-fronts.html - Eric
  12. Use a CrossSection/Elevation camera and make sure the Terrain Permiter layer is turned on.
  13. Renderings are my specialty, give me a call if you'd like to review your project...
  14. You can open your files created in earlier versions with X15 but once they are saved in the new version, you cannot open them in an older version. Check out this article from the Knowledge Base https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01209/message-this-plan-cannot-be-opened.html There is also an issue with the file type used in older versions, more info here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html
  15. I'm in search of 3D symbols for THG bath fixtures, Hamptons collection. I need sink faucets, bath filler, shower fittings, etc. Does anyone have these in your library that you could share?
  16. I'll second what DB said, a picture file is the best way to accomplish this.
  17. Try using a glass panel door with 3 vertical lites and then set the thickness of the muntins to you desired size. In the materials tab, set the glass to a material to match the rest of the door.
  18. Here's a link to Rene's tutorial:
  19. Rob: Click on the gear icon to the right of the preview panel, that will bring up a drop down menu. From there, click on 'Details' & 'Preview'. You can also do this with the 'Folders' section by right clicking and choosing 'Filter Results'. Rene did a great video on the new library awhile back, if I can find it I'll post it here. Eric
