Is there a way to create arched cabinets?

Thank you so much for you helpful tips! This works great!

I am trying to create a cushion back like this. Do I just make this out of slab cylinders? I tried to do with CAD lines and convert but they only convert to moldings.

How do I restore the Library search bar? Somehow I deleted it and can't restore. Susan

Oh wow! That is what I was afraid of!! I guess if I created this I could keep it as a model in my library. I will definitely save and use your directions! Thank you!! Susan

Is there a way to create arched upper cabinets in Chief? Image attached of what I am trying to do.

Thank you so much! I am waiting for the Architect to try these methods and will let you know! Susan

I usually export my files in DWG to Architects no problem. An Architect told me that when he tries to open it says that the file is an unsupported version of Auto Cad. I did the export on his supporting year AutoCad as well. Is this new with X15? How do I export DWG files? Thank you! Susan

I was trying to avoid that, does not always line up correctly. I guess that is the only way? Thank you Susan

My ceiling molding is not wrapping a soffit all the way. I am creating a shower. When I put a glass wall at the doorway, no molding appears. When I place a pony wall the same thing. How can I get the molding to wrap the soffit all the way? Thank you! Susan

I updated my driver but also moved my working file to the Desktop. I was working on it through Dropbox and I believe that contributed to it crashing as well. Thank you for the help! Susan

Thank you! I will give this a try!

Every time I work on my Laptop, Chief suddenly crashes and closes. I have a very good laptop. What can I do so it will stop crashing on me? Every 15 min. it crashes! Thank you for your help!

Thank you all! I am trying to create an evening shot. I am just not sure why the light spread starts a third the way down the wall? Susan

Does anyone have a favorite light data setting for their recessed lighting? I am trying to create a better PBR rendering by changing the light data settings. Attached is a PBR of what I am working on. Just not happy with how it is lighting. I attached an image of my rendering and light data settings. Any help is appreciated! Susan

Thank you!

How do I create changes in Exterior Siding on one wall. I don't want shingles to wrap entire house just to wrap the corner?

Thank you, this really helps!

I used a soffit. So I should use Polyline Solid instead?

How do I get rid of these light lines at the ceiling PB Raytrace?

I wanted beams to run into shower. But the soffit shows a break even when the glass is lower than the ceiling. How do I fix this?

Thank you! I use two computers and go back and forth.

I transferred to X-14

I am missing a lot of images that were on my Layout Pages. I backed up My Layout - Extracted the Files- Placed the images in the same file folder. I still am missing the images? How do I retrieve these without having to redo the entire page again? How do I keep this from happening? Thank you SusanAMBROSE LAYOUT FILE.layout

I am really struggling with sending elevations to layout. It is super slow to resize and the auto dimensions aren't always working. I had created the file in X13 could this be an issue? Also I have an elevation that is "remembering" items I have deleted. Attached is the picture of the elevation.
