Thank you, I worked on this file a couple years ago and we need to make some changes. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nkgzpj1ut9j1ia7mmrun8/WILLIAMS-BACKUP-11.8.24.zip?rlkey=2p2gvtgxflcdcxvqsvuvkwnz3&dl=0

Thank you! I am not sure how I got the large hatch to show on floor plan view without a fill.

I have changed the flooring but the hatching is still showing previous material hatch. The material dropper has the correct material and hatch. There is no fill hatch on the room. Not sure what is going on?

footage!

The Square Gootages do not match. Chiefs was lower than ours. Example tile square footage for a shower. Chiefs was 100sqft lower than our calcs. Makes me nervous to rely on. Susan

We are looking for some great tips on creating material take offs for Interior Design. We have calculated take offs on our own and there seem to be discrepencies. Does anyone have a good video or tips they can share to create reliable take offs for purchasing countertops, tile, wood flooring, beams etc...? Thank you! Susan

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?
