  1. That makes sense with the return since they are square it will return back evenly! Thanks that is exactly what I needed!
  2. Sorry I thought I did. Doing it from my phone and must have done it wrong. a wrapped molding as in design the profile with cad tools and add it as a molding. I did that but I can’t make it do two separate trims that only one of them extends 1” and the other doesn’t... am I missing something?
  3. I have been searching and haven’t found the answer to this. I have an architect I am working with (hand drawings) that is very specific on how his exterior molding show. I know I can do this manually with poly line solids but I am hoping there is a way to do this within the window dbx. I am guessing I can also do it with a poly line room molding setting removing it around all the non window portions at least for the headers. he is looking for: sill: a canted sill with a 1” overhang and a 2 3/4” square apron not overhanging lintel: 5/4x6 square no overhang with a 2x3 square top piece with a 1” overhang. I am attaching his hand drawing of what he wants to see on the drawings. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! warm regards, RG Harrell.MS.Wdws.pdf
  4. Oh, ok gotcha, I guess I am used to hearing pony wall as well. Which technically I don't think that is correct either as that usually refers to a wall split with two materials. Thank you for the clarification. Always good to know regional expressions when dealing with clients in different areas.
  5. Ok I am probably misunderstanding this but I cannot figure out exactly what you are referring to??? As I understand the term knee wall it is the short walls in an attic space to the rafters or can even refer to the wall created inside of a storage/attic truss that are not full height. Must be another definition, maybe a regional terminology thing?
  6. Thanks for the clarification. You are a rockstar!
  7. I second the vote on the cantilevered double hablé. Looks great!
  8. AWW I was missing the Evaluate - The referenced object part... THANK YOU BOTH! I was thinking since it wasn't for a specific physical object that didn't need to be selected.
  9. I obviously am doing something wrong because it isn´t coming out right. What would i need to paste in there exactly to make it work. I have been trying to watch videos to figure this out but I am obviously missing a step.
  10. Holding Cntrl (PC) or CMD (MAC) will allow you to move "freely" wherever you need it. Also you can toggle on and off ortho mode with the angle snap button. Can always set a hotkey for that control.
  11. Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful week so far. I was setting up a new layout for a builder I am doing more and more work for and went to type in my ©2019 when I thought... I wonder if there is a 4 digit year macro I can put in there so I don't have to change that every year on all my layouts??? I am new'sh to macros so still have a ton to learn. I couldn't find it in the chief macros and I did search here on the forum but have not found it. Anyone know what it is? TIA for all your continued help and support. You guys are amazing!
  12. I agree that the covered patio roof area looks a little off for that style of home. Have you considered as was mentioned lowering it to a 2.5:12 pitch and pitching it away from the house instead of side to side. It should connect properly and have a very small cricket roof to make sure that it drains properly. Just a thought without getting into the plan.
  13. Pm sent but no response. Not sure if you saw it?
  14. I know this is an old post but I am trying to import a 3d warehouse file that I downloaded for a floor tile. I set the .dae file to open in chief which it does but will place one tile. Do I just have to open it manually and copy the image and spray can it on the floor? is there a way to import it into the 3d library as a finish?
  15. PM SENT. I can help with this if you are still looking for it. Let me know through PM.
