ShaneK Thanks for the complement. Alwsys appreciate your experties too. Your truss works are stunning and special ones. Thank u.

I remember I have once used it to create skrews and its threads. Here is a preview video uploaded earlier.

Yeah! Thank you. Nice to see you too.

Hey Johnny here is a relatively big commercial building I did using CA. X10 runnibg on mac book pro.Actually not an easy task for chief to run smooth when when plans get bigger.

You sre welcome. I am glad it worked for you. Thank u

Chop I think chief does this automatically. Just untick the check boxes for "railing transitions" in stair dbx, while check boxes for "smooth transition" is checked on. thanks

Well think symbols from a 3rd party will result model slagoahness. I know symbols made insode chief are better. I can make you pretty accurate spiral stairs. PM me.

Thanks David. My pleasure sir. Had few kenyan clients earlier, one of them I recall needed a design of RCC building(picture attached). I have indians, brazilian clients and all over the world. Indians, like here in ethiopia and kenya build RCC buildings. Aa you know, chiefarchitect is number one software when it comes to design of timber structures, that is why it is widely used in America, Canada, Australia, Newzeeland including Europe and as a matter of fact most of my clients are from this areas. Specially USA and Canada. They always get surprised when I tell them I am in ethiopia. They hardly believe me when I tell them that I am in Ethiopia. My service as they say is "the highest quality they could find in their locale, appart from the significant dollars they save". I am still learning. That is it David, thanks so much. You have always been a role model to me. I think it would be a good idea to create an international chief user group " Chief Users Without Borders" I will follow the facebook page too. Thank you so much sir.

Some one asked me what "workflow based tutoring" means. I tried to explain him as follows "User work flow means ways of doing things effectively by using the tools of the software. And in order to effeciently take advantage of the tools, users develope their own ways of doing things in the program environment. That is what we call "workflow". Work flows are learned through practice and by learning from others. Watching how gurus do their stuff for 30 minutes can be much more productive than trying it by your self. You know what re inventing wheels mean. I just given him a good example by picking a post that I posted earlier in tips and techniques. A rough study made by one of the gurus here show that, users who spend 3 hours/week with a guru are 10 times faster in mastering the program than those who don't"
