  1. Hey there so I'm trying to show the measurements of the depth of a full height cabinet. It's 30" deep, but when I have the cross section camera at angle, it does not measure the depth accurately. In the image, it reads 7 13/16". How do I get it read 30"/2'6" from the angle view, rather than just from the side view?

  2. Hi, I'm trying to create a floor plan + elevation of a one story unit. The unit has a flat roof, but the rooms vary from either 8' or 7'6", and the dining is 9'. From the exterior the edge of the roof is 134"from the ground. How do I go about building the flat roof while the rooms have different heights?

  3. So I'm designing a closet, we'd like to have the space in the corner be open. When I design the full height cabinet though theres a separation in the center indicated in the attached image. Is there a way to remove the separation so the space can be completely open?

  4. Hey so I'm using Chief architect x11. I was wondering where I can download 3D models to import in my files? I used to use 3D warehouse.sketchup.com but I dont think it supports the x11 version anymore. 

  5. So I'm in the process of ray tracing this vanity, but the knobs and pulls have bright/white shadows around them. It's not the first time its happened, I just want to know if theres a way they could cast shadows regularly.

    It kinda turns out like this, I'm just wondering how to make it seem like the light shines brighter and throughout the water

  7. Hey there so I'm rendering a project with a pool, and would like to know if theres any way to get the lights within the pool to shine through? I tried increasing the intensity but still doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm using Chief Arch. X11 btw

    Hey so I’m trying to find a way to make my projects look as photo realistic as possible. Ray tracings improve my projects a lot, but I was wondering if there are any other techniques or compatible softwares with Chief Architect to enhance how a project looks in terms of realism?

    If i were to send over a chief architect file to someone with Sketchup, would they be able to open it as a .plan file?

  10. Hey there, so I'm making a swimming pool with curves and I would like to add the edges outlining the pool. Is there a more time efficient way to go about it instead of just making little polyline solids around it?pooloutline.thumb.JPG.9a70e789ce4bf2737b1ed4edd62e8c7d.JPGpooledgeoutline.thumb.JPG.7d8c03e018c3b06e23b319c29ba92afc.JPG

  11. So I'm trying to add a pool to this roof, and I would like to adjust the flooring so that it slopes downwards from the step, rather than just staying flat. Any way I can go about it?

    Did you lower the ceiling height for the room you divided off ?  I think that is all you missed.

    I don't think so, I divided the section of the room, then decreased the height for that area but the entire room adjusted to the height I inputted.
