  1. Is there anyway I can attach these two glass doors together, essentially removing the corner of the wall?
  2. 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.
  3. How could I go about changing the ceiling heights of the same room like in the attached picture? There's a second floor above this room. I used the room divider tool, but the whole ceiling still adjusts to the same height.
  4. So I have these lights placed on a porch, and while they're turned on, they're not casting any shadows, so when I render it the area still remains dark. Is there any way to fix this issue?
  5. So I'm trying to make a shower doorway with a casing around it, but I'd like the casing to end at the point where the texture in the wall changes as shown in the picture. Would anyone know how to go about doing it?
  6. So I downloaded this candle holder model, it has the exact shape I'm looking for but it only has one texture assigned to it. Is there anyway to separate the model or add another color to make the top part of it a different color?
  7. Tried it, still didn't work :/
  8. Basic question, but the main toolbar under file pane disappeared, how do i get it back? Status bars, scroll bars and tool bars are checked..
  9. Wow that works great! I'm wondering though, how did u remove that center piece for the column? I made it all one interior wall with one pass thru window and one door way for the archways.
  10. Hey thank you that was really helpful. However would it be possible to place the wall niche in a polyline wall? There's a column in the center that was difficult to replicate unless I made the surrounding wall out of polylines..
  11. Hey yall! I would like to build a shelf in my plan, however it is placed within the wall as you can see from the image I posted. I'm using Chief x11, and was wondering how to replicate the depth in the wall for the shelf?
  12. Thank y'all that was really helpful !
  13. So I'm trying to build a fireplace using Chief x11 and it has a specific texture surrounding the opening. I'm wondering how to replicate the shape and style around it, but I'm not sure how to approach it. Would I need to trace the shape and make a custom molding ?
  14. Hey y'all, so I'm trying to replicate a shelf using Chief x11. I used an arched polyline for my shelf and attached it to the curved wall, but I'm trying to figure out how to add the little joists on the underside of the shelf. I tried adding a new molding but it winds up surrounding the whole shelf. Any tips on how to add those moldings to support the underside of the shelf?
  15. Hey there, so I'm trying add one newel at the top, and one newel at the bottom of this staircase. However there's also a newel at the center and I'm sure how to remove it. Any help would be much appreciated.
  16. I'm having trouble figuring out how to turn a base cabinet. I'm placing one in a room, but can't seem to get it to face in the direction I want it to. Using Chief Architect x11.
  17. Yeah, I just want to change the material of one wall without it affecting the wall of the room next to it.
  18. Hey, I'm a newbie here, trying to get the hang of the software. I'm trying to change the interior wall type of one room, but it seems to effect the wall in the room next to it. I tried the break wall tool but the same keeps happening.
  19. So I'd like to change the thickness of a particular wall to 39" but when I do, it snaps to the nearest wall and the wall length changes. Not sure how to keep the wall length the same without it automatically snapping to the nearest wall.
  20. Thanks a lot I didn't know of that option
  21. Hey newbie here, I can't seem to figure out how to change the height of a specific wall. When I double click the wall I want to change, I move down to components and change the wall size formula but no changes seem to be made. I want it to be a precise measurement and adjusting the wall manually won't let me get it to the exact measurement I need. Any help would be much appreciated
