This is how my elevation looks on the Layout file (Scale 3"-1') Here's what it looks like on the generated PDF. Lines are way too thick and you can see all the little point markers I put in (the little dots - those are at 1/16"). Is there a setting I'm missing here or is this just because of the scale?

Thank you! Just want to make sure I'm understanding - create only half of the profile using 3D solids and add it to the library as Millwork? Then add to the cabinet under Foot Style? I'm trying to emulate this. I can create the profile on one side (or close enough) but how do you get it to wrap around the corner? If I have to do each side separately I don't know how I'd get them to match perfectly with the curves. My skills with 3D solids are rudimentary at best lol.

Our cabinet maker will be cutting a decorative toe kick profile out of the baseboard molding going around an entire vanity. Similar to the image below. Is there a way to do this in Chief? Is it possible to cut shapes/profiles like this from a molding polyline or is there another way to approach this?

I did it!!! Thanks all! I use molding lines/polylines quite a bit but didn't realize they could be used to make doors - this is way more streamlined than what I've been doing until now. So much wasted time lol...

I've made other cabinet door profiles with 3D Solids but those were with 90 degree edges, nothing beaded. Maybe I should have tried with countertop tools instead? Ahh this is great, thank you!!! Can I ask how you did the beaded part?

Is there anything similar to this door style in any of the Chief Catalogs that I'm just not finding or have not yet downloaded maybe?

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.
