  1. I want to show a railing extension past the last stair tread. Cant seem to find anything in the default dialogue for this. Do I need to add a manual railing extension?
  2. OK, so toggle back on when dealing with windows, doors, etc, etc. Thanks!
  3. Is there a way to shut off "Cad tops Move" for everything, always? I can think of zero instances where this is helpful (to me) and it really bogs me down when I have to override it instance by instance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  4. Ahhh I so need these trees but Im in X9. Have anything from the stone ages? They look awesome!
  5. Well well! I had no idea you could even do that! Thank you sir!
  6. Thank you Eric, you're a national treasure!
  7. Is there a way to explode a mulled door unit but keep the schedule from updating itself? I need the door in the attached image to remain a D13 but also need to reverse its swing. When I explode it to change the swing it becomes D1. This wreaks havoc on the rest of the drawing set - specifically my elevations which are all CAD details and not live views...
  8. I was able to get it to work by using wire mesh, then editing the material so it was set to Tile, then played around with the spacing a bit. Looks good enough for now. Thanks everybody!
  9. Eric, Is that a custom material? My library doesn't have it and if I choose wire mesh it behaves the same as the screen material - IE disappears in line drawings...
  10. Yes, I am trying to get the upper shaped windows to look like the lower ones in the B&W image
  11. I have been searching this forum to no avail - how do I get screens to show in Line drawing mode on shaped windows? I have the window material set to screen but it doesn't look right so I mess with the grille arrangements in the windows. This works great for anything that is not a shaped window....
  12. Wow, yeah I had to look really hard to see the overlaying. Looks great but seems far to clunky to make it worth it. Thank you though!
  13. Yes! That looks great. How do I achieve this please and thank you!
  14. OK, thanks. Were you ever able to? I seem to remember a way to do it in an older version.
  15. How does one turn off the automatic naming of a room whenever I make a new pace inside an existing room type?
  16. Yes that PDF was when I was still using AutoCAD. I am now on a 95% Chief Based Diet
  17. Yeah, I picked up this swing style from my first job in an Architects office fresh out of college. They were very much a trend bucking, punk rock firm. Thanks for your time and insight. .
  18. Thank you. Unfortunately it seems that there is not a practical workaround to generate this look in Chief
  19. I like the door solid and the swing path dashed because, well it doesn't really exist. Just something I have always done.
  20. Bummer. Going back and forth with CAD is to much work. Thanks.
  21. Is there a way to show the door swing arc path as a dashed line in plan view? Thank you
  22. IM dummy - just found the color toggle button
