This is great! This will get me by until I can devote some hours to learning a new software/how to do this myself. Many many thanks!!

Is this what you're referring to? https://www.blender.org/

The SU modeler looks like Kohler themselves lol ^Do you know how to do this?

I've downloaded a Kohler sconce from Sketchup (this particular one isn't included in Chief's Kohler catalog). The sconce is all one material when I import it into Chief, so I'm unable to make the glass clear and fixture chrome like I need it to be. Is there a way to edit this type of issue in Chief? Or do I need to learn how to use Sketchup now too? 32253-SC02.skp

I know this is an old thread but I was trying to figure it out myself and found a bit of a workaround... Thought I'd leave it here in case anyone else is looking for a solution Tried the Alexandria door but as mentioned above, it looks terrible with multiple different sizes of doors/drawers. This is what I do now: Use the "Slim-Shaker" door from Cabinet Doors No. 2 Paint the center panel "Linear Narrow Glass" from Materials>Glass & Glazing>Textured Glass Blend your cabinet colour with the linear glass. Then Adjust Material Definition to remove the transparency of the glass. I've added it to some drawer fronts here - uniform through different widths:

Ah, here's what the exported image looks like: I guess I'll be sending to layout as an image instead - that seems to have worked.

Hi, Yes, using "Chief Architect Save As PDF". Yes, I've tried deleting and resending. Seems like the consensus is to just send as a picture to layout or save as a picture and import. I'll do that as a workaround in these instances. Thanks all

This has happened to me on a few occasions - not sure if it's a glitch or something in my camera settings. Tried changing camera angles, tried a different mirror material out of the library, all to no avail. How it looks on my layout file: How it looks on the PDF: Another example: Layout file vs generated PDF

That option is greyed out on my dialog box.

That's the one I'm using.

Are you still having this issue or was it ever resolved? I'm experiencing the same thing with every semi-large layout file - ready to rip my hair out. Tried both suggestions above to no avail.

That fixed it! Thank you!

Hi, I'm not sure if I've changed some type of setting or what's happened but now when I enter the Global Macro %date.long%, the day of the week is included when it never was before. I'd prefer the day of the week not to show... Screenshot from a PDF I just created last week: Now the date shows up like this: Any idea what's happened here? Thank you!!

I think he was looking at the Open Box one for $1899.99. From what I can tell, the only difference in specs from the Best Buy one he recommended and the CC one you did would be the processor? AMD vs i7? Can you upgrade RAM later on these? How can you tell from the specs? I think I'd likely take it as is for now with 16GB RAM and then upgrade later if it's a possibility.

Sorry my mistake lol. The price I saw was in CAD but once I added the video card, RAM, OS, etc it came out to over $3000 CAD. The newest one suggested by the IT guy is around $2000 CAD.
