I have two questions; 1) Is it possible to due a BOM on steel sections that i have drawn as a framing member? 2) I use a polyline solid to show diagonal bracing, can it be included in a BOM also??? thanks for any help with this! zach

just so you'll know, i'm not really interested in this from an architectural stand point so textures and layers don't come into the picture for me, i just want to be able to send a 3d capable file that is easily read by most people with a computer hence adobe reader,. the file you see is a foundation design on a very steep slope, micropiles up top to hold up a parking deck and structure utilizing steel columns and beams, lowered section with treated studs is a pool in the basement and a cantilevered back deck which will be around 45' off the ground

Thanks everyone again, rod, great suggestion, i dont have turbocad but i do have avicad, and it can do the same thing, sucess!!!! see attached 3d pdf 3DPIROUMIAN.pdf

thanks for all the input guys, i guess with chief architect a 3 pdf just isn't the way to go, am just looking for an easy way to share a 3d viewer file with clients. One that has the ability to be rotated and navigated thru without having to have clients download a chief architect viewer., thanks much for the insight.

Does anybody know how to print to a 3d PDF with chief architect??? Thanks much
