I suppose that I can create a few with CAD blocks but thought I would ask first!

I hope not, I am hopeful that the rollers can ride on the lower bar I created but will find out when I meet with the Fabrication Company next week. The good news is that they are extremely capable! Just look at the VERY unique 10' wide by 12' tall entry door that I designed for my personal residence and they fabricated it exacted as designed!

I've updated the files due to several errors and forgot to add the bottom clavos so if you previously downloaded anything, please use the R1 versions, thanks!

Please note the updates!

Thanks and yes

That's what I love about this place, everyone's got GREAT advice to offer, THANKS!!!

Done!

I spent several days creating a very ornate driveway gate for my personal residence. It's 20'x5' tall with a rise to 7' in the center. I've added it in the Symbols Library for anyone interested!

DivewaygateR1.planDivewaygateR1.planThe only thing that I didn't create in 3D are the birdcages that go onto the bars. Enjoy! UPDATE! I found a few errors in the plan (an extra spindle and an overlap in the base so I corrected these, smoothed the radii as recommended below and added the Claovs to the bottom as well. PLEASE use the R1 files, sorry for the original miscue! Chief.calibz Divewaygate.plan GateR1.calibz DivewaygateR1.plan

This place rocks! I was having fits trying to make the chain-link fence and low and behold, thanks guys!

My files are not backed up on OneDrive, I have them backed up on a 2TB hard-drive and as I mentioned earlier, I don't see anything on it after a complete search

Yes, I have OneDrive so I just need an e-mail address to share a Folder with, that would be awesome!

Thanks for the options and additional input folks, unfortunately I have always deleted the .calibz files. What's interesting is that I did find the the Program Data Hidden Files and there were only a handful of .calibz files there....very strange, oh well lesson learned because I did a file search on my 2TB back-up drive and there is nothing there either.

Thanks guys and Kbird1, I went to my hidden Files where the Program Data resides but the bulk of the files are simply gone.....very strange

WTH....I really don't want to spend hours re-downloading them all....what happened?

Good point, thanks!

I need to free up hard-drive space and noticed that I still have the older versions of Chief "Program Data" files....how can I be proof positive that I have them all in X11? I migrated data when I upgraded each time...is it safe to assume that it is there? Hate to "assume" lol!!!

Oh well, since I still had the file open I created a larger round and now it does look better I think! Thanks again all, love this Forum!

Thanks all for the help! I think I got the jist of how to play with this now even though it looks like the Gable really needs to be likely a half round rather than a quarter round like the real McCoy.

Tried the gutter but didn't work....tried creating a Tile and then slightly re-oriented it 3 degrees for proper overlap but I think I need to taper the tile so that it overlaps properly (top is fine but the front isn't)...anyone with ideas how to taper this singular tile??? Getting awfully close using the Distributed Object Tool and offsetting the object -3" from ceiling!!! P.S. I left it concrete color for visual clarity lol!!!

Thanks all for the replies and effort put into them...I think I'll try your approach for now Rene, can't believe the Chief Boys haven't stepped up with a simple option for this after all these years....

Getting tired of incorrect Tile Roof Gables, I've looked high and low and can't find any dialog boxes to make them look correct...is there a way to have the Trim Tile go over the edge like the pic or is this function still non-existent? Not really in the mood to create my own!

Thanks, Joey, I'll reset to default and try

Eric, sorry for the confusion and thanks with your patience with me....when I select the cabinet on the lower left with one left click then this dialog box opens before I can even move the cabinet so then I have to close the box and then move the cabinet.

I don't recall having this issue in the past at all so yes, new problem. A single click to select an item (like when I want to move it) opens the dialog box which I then have to close. I have opened the context menu in an attempt to change the settings which affects this behavior but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
