Very helpful!

THANK YOU for pointing out the .DAE files work!

Wow, that is exactly the type board and batten I have been trying to create but I just can't seem to get there!

Hello all---is there any way to control the 'lites' in the bottom of a window so you can only have the center vertical lite? When I check off 'Lites in Bottom' in the attached dialogue box, it removes all lites. Other window types like Prairie result in the same thing. The 2nd attachment shows what I am trying to do (e.g. the red vertical line).

Wow Kbird1---this REALLY helped me. I have been struggling with very low interior lighting for a while where most all renders are so dark. These settings instantly fixed the problem. I was starting to believe it was my hardware. Oddly though, the lighting in Chief renders will magically appear much brighter on rare occasions after making a setting change on an object within the view.

Thank you SO much. I never thought of that. Genius.

For interior windows (between two rooms), is it possible to switch the interior side of the window with the exterior side? It would essentially reflect about the object or rotate the window 180 degrees. I am ultimately trying to control how the room names appear in the window schedule where the 'interior' room appears first in the room name.

Thank you---I'll give it a shot.

Joey---do you have the batten material shown here available? I am embarrassed but can't see how to create such a material to use as a Material Region.

Good to know. I have x12 but still can't connect a rope light to a switch. I have tried in a tray ceiling as well as a stand alone light. Is there a secret to it?

I was able to use the 'create a symbol' technique mentioned here, and then connect a switch. I noticed there appears to be line voltage options for this now. 120V LED Light Strips: Long run strips for indoors and out! - LEDSupply Blog

OK---I just figured it out. I had to turn on Walls, Layers in the camera view. Thank you! DREW

Hi, yes I did. So I can see the framing in 3D with the Framing Overview cam. But the walls look like this with no drywall...

Does anyone know why this tip (at link) will not work? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03045/displaying-studs-on-an-unfinished-wall.html The main layer still shows up as flat/solid wood vs. seeing the framing/studs. Thank you, DREW

I am sorry for not posting the pics and really appreciate the help. On your last post @rgardner you reminded me that the settings for a pony wall can be selected in plan display to show lower wall, upper wall, etc. Selecting a different choice did it for me. Thanks again.
