Sectional attached. Insert & explode to edit items Perhaps the style is not close enough? Sectional.calibz

Perhaps I'm missing something here but the Chief catalog has several sectionals that have individual pieces. Could you use a similar piece that can be edited as you wish? I'm assuming the MFG sectional has no separate items?

I've run across many engineering graphs that use a different scale for X than Y. Gives me a head ache. The worst are Metal Building Plans. They use a funky way to depict column base plates. They are not to scale for the floor plan they are in.

I have had contractors with their own printer/plotter and that is where the problems start. The print shop I use NEVER uses "Print to Fit" printer settings.

How about? Warning: If this 1" square is not exactly 1" in both direction the sheet was not printed properly. Do not scale drawings under these conditions.

Two clicks needed

So you would have to rebuild / add back handles & hinges. Seems odd that these components would not be in the mulled unit.

Tip: Watch as many videos as you can. You will see many tricks along the way.

Oops! That defeated the purpose. The door sch is missing items?

Thanks Ryan, I did add those to the entry doors. But this is an interior door. It's not too often I use a double door for an electrical closet as it is usually a room. Thanks for the tip Rene

I have an electrical room that needs one dead bolt on a double door. But Chief adds dead bolt to each door. Is there a setting for this condition?

Love your videos Steve. Nice Job.

I'm not sure why could not see it. I should have said "Plan View" Thanks Chop for pointing me in the direction.

I see in the plan view framing header member the fill option is "Default" but where is the default set up at?

Thanks worked great.

I need a teak plank floor for a bathroom shower. Installing a floor material region where I need it but Teak Material is solid. Should I use Deck Planks? I guess I need to create a deck to get the planks.

No the gap was Chief, so I added the post to cover it. Probably need a post anyway.

The issue in the picture above is solved by another post or redo the symbol with 1" ends on the grid. That one has 1" ends. With a post the spacing is nice.

Thanks Mick. I may give up on the boundary. Here is may progress so far. The panel is still messing with me. But I did build s gate. Wire Mesh 72.calibz

This afternoon I'm messing around with this railing panel. I see that making a 6' high rail I need a 6' high symbol as Chief stretches in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction Chief overlaps the pattern. But I wanted 1" gap left & tight. My mesh has 1" overlap on the left & right but the railing shifts the pattern. How do I get that side margin? Wire Mesh.calibz

Good find Glen. Is there a way to scale that symbol?

Oh I had Vector View on.

How can you use that on a railing?

How did you make the mesh transparent? The one on the left is my psolids creation. Working with solids in Chief is a PITA. The one on the right is the Sq mesh applied to a psolid.

Anyone have anything like this? I need to make a 6' fence & gate plus some large panels to grow vines on. Looks a little like Chain link turned 45 deg.
