I've been having a pretty consistent issue when exporting wall elevations. Sections of the elevation will appear fainter than the rest. I'm using the Line Drawing function with all settings set to 0 except for Line Thickness which is set to 1. I've tried playing around with resolution and image size but all that this accomplishes is moving the faint/greyer spots to a different area. I've also tried increasing the Line Thickness as well which only makes the lighter area more obvious. Attaching a few examples of the same elevation. First two are the same resolution and size but changed line thickness to 2. Between image 1 and 3 I changed the size and image of the resolution. Any idea on what's happening here or what I may be doing wrong? They still function as needed but its driving me insane aesthetically. Many thanks

Ahh yes! Thank you Eric. All of that worked great except for the shelves... I used the Shelf option under Cabinets for my open shelving and I believe they are turned on for my active layer? I noticed my faucet isn't showing up, either but that layer is also set to Display.

Currently designing a pool cabana that has a small bar and island. Some of the cabinetry for the bar is going to be contained within an arched alcove. I've created an arched wall niche and increased the depth of this wall to recreate the alcove. A few things: 1) Tricky maneuvering my cabinets within the wall niche from the floorplan view. 2) Cabinets are showing up on my wall elevation but floating shelves are not. 3) Can't seem to add backsplash through either the cabinet dialog box nor custom backsplash. Given the above, is the arched wall niche the best way to go about doing this? (I also tried creating an arched doorway with a wall butting up against the outside of the cabana but still had all of the above issues minus the backsplash). Maybe I'm overthinking this and there's a much easier way (fingers crossed lol).

Ah you guys are the best, thank you all! The plan was started in Home Designer so that must be the issue. ^ This would be lovely! ^ I will check this out, thank you! These panels are giving me a headache lol.

I have 5/8" applied panels to my full height cabinet here. Two issues crop up when the cabinet is placed directly beside my base cabinet: 1) The crown no longer extends above the panel on the right side. It reappears on the right side only if I move the full height cabinet away from the base cabinet. 2) The countertop on the base cabinet intersects the panel. I've removed the overhang from the left side of that cabinet to no avail. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I need to draw a custom counter? Any help very much appreciated. Quite new to using Chief.

Hi Scott, Thanks for your help! For some reason I couldn't get the CAD points to pin where I needed them (panels are 5/8"). I'm very (very) green so admittedly I may have been doing something incorrectly. I reset all of my settings since the option to Reset Templates only was not available on my X13 dialog box. This didn't fix the issue either, unfortunately. Any other idea as to why I am not able to drag and add my own dimension lines to the NKBA dimension line? I've been getting what I need using a manual dimension but its extra time and work that'd I'd like to avoid if possible. Thanks again!

Hi Eric, Thanks so much for the video. When I pull the dimension up to the panel, I don't get that blue circular symbol. In fact, I don't get a symbol at all when trying to drag to the panel. If I drag to another point (such as the center line of a cabinet), I will get an hourglass type symbol in red. Not sure if this could be something to do with my settings or if I'm just doing something wrong. My panel goes to the floor unlike in your video but I don't think that would be the issue?

Just upgraded to Chief from Home Designer. Love the NKBA Auto Dimensions but is there any way to have them pick up applied panels on cabinet sides? I can't seem to add the extra point manually, either...
