Does anyone know how or is it possible to import images and place them in the user library to be used in a layout and sometimes a plan. The images are ones I use alot in layouts such as a saved jpg of wall blocking for cabinets, standard blocking for grab bars, LVL beam install, material specs / pic, etc. I know I can add a single image into the library but I need to add 100+ and was hoping there was a way to import folders pull of images. See a few of examples. Thanks

I got an email about a plans Group. Did anyone else receive this and what's it all about? Thanks

File locking?

I have four designers, three in the office and one outside and we are all working with different Mfg. and user libraries and are never on the same page. One designer asks for help or input and it becomes a pain the ass. What is everyone else doing with more that one designers to be able to collaborate on a project? I just spoke to support about sharing libraries in the cloud like OneDrive or SharePoint and they said absolutely not. This is just to store your libraries in the cloud and not to have other users access them. They said the only way they recommend sharing a plan between designers in the same office is the original designer that is working on the plan must backup entire plan and all referenced files and then save it to a shared folder. Then the second designer that opens the plan to check it like in my case, I am checking the plan progress with my other designers or if they need help. Once I’m done, I then must back up the entire plan and all reference files, save it again so the original designer can reopen the plan and continue. This can go back and forth all day especially with a new designer that’s fairly new to Chief.

Ok Thanks

Can anyone tell me why I have all these custom tool bars in this list?

Thanks Mark

I know light doesn't pass thru wood. Lighting cant be installed to each shelf even if they are hidden behind a dropped front lip because these shelves are adjustable. If they were fixed, it would work but not in these situations with adjustable shelving. The LED tape would be installed vertically behind the front cabinet face frame like in my attached photo.

Its an image versus a symbol

Perfect. Thank you very much

Thank you

Does anyone have a curved hood with banding like the one I have attached. We are doing a black hood with gold banding. Thanks for any help Rob

OK Thanks for the input

After 20 years my user library is large and I probably use it 50% of the time as I've created catalogs for particular tile vendors that are not in the mfg or bonus library. same with custom cabinet lines.

Does anyone create a new folder in their user library to keep just the materials and possible symbols that has been added just for a single client project. These would possibly be items that I don't want to permanently keep in my library. I have three designers and each may add materials, I figured placing all these materials in a client specific folder would help keep us better organized. I have our master library on One Drive and linked / synced to all our computers but wanted to make it easy for anyone looking for a material for a particular project they can just go to that client folder in the user library. If a material seems to be one we may use again we can then move it to a permanent folder and the others not be used in a final plan would just be deleted from the library. See attached. Thanks Rob

Its only a 36" and when you widen it to 60 the duct cover become way too wide

I did this with a few PS. It may get me by for now

Does anyone have an island hood that is 60" with this contemporary look? Thanks

Does someone have an easy way to add vertical LED strip lighting to the interior of a cabinet with wood shelving. They would be installed to the back side on the cabinets face frame so with a cabinet like a bookcase with wood shelving (See attached) each shelf area would be lit. If you put a standard strip light in the top it works fine transmitting thru glass shelves but with wood the only area that is lit is the very top section. I can create it with a PS and manually position it inside the cabinet but it does take time to get it in behind the doors and the actual strip not seen in renderings. Thanks

I took some PS cylinders and overlaid them on top of the stainless handles. Quick redneck work around

Yeah but not the fill series and you cant change just the handle material.

Would anyone happen to have the GE Cafe series wine frig, Cafe oven , Advantium oven and 42" frig with the brushed bronze handles?

Thank you for all the advice... With all the warnings and unnecessary risk of crashes, I think I will just leave it alone since it doesn't seem to be causing an issue. I was just wondering why it was like that.

I know this is probably a basic question but how can one increase the line thickness of an arrow leader line? Changing the arrow size is easy enough in the dbx but what about the line itself? I guess any individual line for that matter. Thanks
