Thanks Glenn, That worked out great! Good job! - Drew

Good day, I drew in 3D Solid a custom corner board, replicating the EZ Trim EZ31 - extruded Aluminum Outside Corner. I can manually place the corner 'on top' of the corner - kinda - however by this method it will not pull back the siding material on either side (which I figured). See the image included which shows the siding material needs to be pulled back slightly from the corners for the aluminum outside reveal to show. For the material - within the - Open Object / Layers. The Default Layer is "Corner Boards". The Drawing Group is "24 - Corner Board/Quoin". I've also tried place the default corner board, and then try 'Replace Molding'. However that would not pull up my material in this manner. So I suspect I don't have one of the properties correct. Might someone know how to remedy this to use this new created material. Thank you!! - Drew

Thanks Jason, I tried a couple more different options including yours. And I may post back later if I come up with a desired result. I believe the one I am looking for is my line# DW20, as it does not include the words 'accessory' or '3D Solid' in the description. Thanks again. - Drew

Thank you Eric, That make perfect sense. I was still running into the situation of having it populate into the Material List under Decks instead of anywhere else. Might there be a way to designate this for a deck purpose? Thank you

Good day all, I'm not sure if this is accomplishable, and maybe I'm just wanting to see how accurate Chief is to a manual deck take-off. I know a manual take-off is not difficult, I've done it may times. I think this question may be for my own information as to the limits and or doables of Chief. I've created a few 3D Solids and make them sized appropriately for deck framing applications. Such as Beams, Posts and Joists. With that, I've changed the material to Pressure Treated Lumber showing the color and incised marks. Might there be a way to - for this question let's use the phrase 'open object' loosely, as it may not be the correct phrase or choice of words. And then somehow, in the Components category on the left, (or somewhere) insert description, size, ETC, and any other pertaining information to THEN be displayed/or have info pulled into the Material List. Not sure if this is feasible with the direction I've taken, or if I need to 'Make a Duplicate' of something else existing that pulls into the Material List, and alter the information to display alterations. Then in the end, display in the Deck ID# as seen in the jpg. I have done a search, however that has been uneventful. Again - thanks so much in advance for your assistance. Have a great day! - Drew

Good job! I neglected to 'keep the search simple' with too many words. Thank you - have a great day!!

Good day, I've searched the forum prior to post and can not locate conversation regarding a - Surface Mount Kitchen Counter Receptacle. The Pop-Up type - see image. In October of 2023 an electrical code had been changed. Now on islands you need to have a Surface Mount Kitchen Counter Receptacle, instead of one mounted to the side of a base cabinet. At the moment, it does not matter if some can still install a receptacle into the side of a base cabinet, I am curious as to if there are Surface Mount Kitchen Counter Receptacle? As I can not locate in the library. Thanks so Much!!

Thanks again - got it.

Thanks Tea Time - Right in front of my face the whole time LOL

Good day, Is there a way to change the Header Category Title on any Schedule? And....... Why would Chief display in the Window Schedule an image of a 2040 Skylight that looks a bit odd - see image. Thank you!

Thanks so much Solver!!!

Good day all, I thought I had seen somewhere where for example: If you have an existing library item such as Fir Tongue and Groove (under Clopay) - Referenced Files\Clopay.zip#zip:FirPlank_CAAB.jpg One is able to change it from Fir to another species such as Oak. I was going to use this Oak which may be close enough for the client to visualize - Referenced Files\Andersen.zip#zip:Oak-White2r(30) Not sure if this can really be done - OR what is the simplest way to archive a horizontal 6" T&G look to tie in the pre-made Hood Vent from Dura-Supreme Thank you

That was just W A Y too easy. LOL Thank you - Way to go - Committed to memory.

Good day, For some reason I can not figure out, a small section of wall has been created at the lower end of a stairwell, close to the bottom (last) tread. I've selected both from plan view and 3d to delete. Anyway after removing the small bump-out wall it leaves a ceiling which I can not seem to click and adjust and it applies no drywall to that area of ceiling. May be after the ceiling below is remove it will allow the drywall to apply to the ceiling???? Some images are below. Also, I know it is easier for some to just open the plan and look - totally get it - I've tried to remove a variety of items to get the plan to 14mb, but not successful. Yes I know the light does not need to be there - it just is. So I uploaded a backup zip file to my site which can be downloaded here: https://www.pacificridgellc.com/images/chief/09-11-23_Dining_Attic_Wall.zip It is 26mb. So I've only been using chief just over 1yr so I am sure there are other ways to get a 3-story plan smaller. Thank you for your assistance and insight in advance! -

No worries - there are many folks here who know so much and are willing to share. I am sure you will do a great job!
