This one is derived from the Australian Standards for Off-street parking facilities Untitled 1.calibz
-
If you still wanted to keep it room specific you could change the glass wall to have no room definition with this instance Alternatively use fixtures with the attributes assigned which opens up the room location attribute and a little more flexibility
-
a simple one but a real time saver opening indicators for all window/door types
-
https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/ another one which you can generate different maps from too
-
Does anyone know which 3d export formats work best out of Chief and into Archicad or Revit? Textures dont necessarily need to go with it but some sort of ID structure would need to be maintained so textures could by applied correctly by others.

They are all nice renderings but this one... wow, nicely done

Anyone Using Digital Submissions In Your City?
mattyt12 replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
We've had that problem irrespective of the submission type, in person you only get to deal with a duty planner not the assessing one and you never get direct contact info so they are almost like ghosts with a extremely slow turn around. -
sure, nothing spectacular but you get the idea
-
Nice solution, I do something similar to control line weights to give a perception of depth
-
does it lock up if you drag and drop the dwg file into the drawing space?
-
I absolutely hated it at first, took awhile to manually add the original tool back in but I never seem to use it.
-
may or may not be of any use as they're based off metric sizing but Ive added these to my library along the way from a free dwg resource site, theres an assortment of bolts, coach screws etc Bolts.calibz
-
amen to that, I only recently reset the defaults for hotkeys after picking up some tips in a video by Rene with shortcuts editing CAD (ie. holding F for fillet or C for concentric resize)that no longer worked as the defaults intended.
-
Ive gotten it to work before using an app "ds4windows"
-
you can use this in conjunction with the CAD point tool to specify the start point if there is a snap point available and you don't know its X,Y coordinates
-
I did think about this way as another solution which adds value to be able to use the imported model correctly oriented if required. I also thought you control the height of the plan view camera but that may be a throwback to revit many a year ago. I just figured rotating the symbol was the easiest as youre in the dialogue to import anyway, plus adjusting the cut plane is simple by moving the camera in plan view.
-
you could import into chief as a symbol, rotate the model on the x-axis in the symbol spec. dialogue so you can cut a section through it which gives you a plan view then cad detail from view.

nice find Mick Brick1.pat
-
Not quite an easy solution and never used personally but you could try hatchkit, or it is possible to manipulate patterns in notepad albeit more complicated. Both covered off in the thread below. It would be nice to control the height and width of the pattern as you can with the Grid patterns though
-
each category expands which has all the items as per X11 to filter
-
I appreciate that and hitting tab makes a pretty quick process, just thought I'ld question it
-
After the rectangular polyline tool is selected and you click in open space on the plan it drops in a default square 600x600 or 2 feet x 2 feet, is there anywhere that this can be altered?

Who can rid me of this annoying Windows 10 toolbar?
mattyt12 replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
I find some apps keep the taskbar from hiding (spotify is a main culprit) until you open up and minimise again. -
Agree with Chopsaws statement plus use of shadows from 3D trees from behind the camera is effective at breaking up the monotony, Chiefer is an expert at this. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/gallery/image/2618-chief-architect-x9-3d-exterior-rendering/ https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/gallery/image/2616-chief-architect-x9-exterior-rendering/ https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/gallery/image/831-residential-architectural-rendering/

zoom in and update the view, the closer you zoom in the finer it will refresh but when you print it will automatically update to the final quality. This could be wrong but I believe its the way chief handles images to keep things running faster/smoother and not bog down.
