    Good day, I can not find any conversation regarding exactly what I need to accomplish (unless I missed it or did not understand the application). I am needing to set the vinyl windows into their openings and have the window extend beyond the siding - Slightly. They are currently set to : OPTIONS>Recessed into Wall>Recessed>To Sheathing Layer (I've tried switching to Main Layer - no effect) No Casing, No Lintel, No Sill Sash at 1.5">Depth 1.5">Inset was Changed to -5" and it moved the window more to exterior, but will not move further to exterior. Frame>NO Frame as it is Drywall Wrap Interior Is there another setting or option to accomplish this task? To remove the siding wrapping back to the window. Thank you -

    Also forgot to mention all floors have the same ceiling height of 108"

    Good day, This is a work in progress.... The client would like to have the main floor roof to be one continuous shed roof single plain. All slanting to the front of home (low side to front - high to back) It appears as though since Chief created this as a multi-plain, it can not convert to a single roof plain (I'm guessing) Maybe this will need to be done manually? And then there are areas where a break will need to be done to pull back slightly. Thanks in advance! Sweeping View - Plan Only.zip

    Hello Gene, Thank you for taking the time to go through the details in how to accomplish in this manner - good job. Very Helpful!

    Thanks Robert - both suggestions are very helpful!

    Good day, I've created a custom backsplash on a kitchen wall, and on the opposite wall in the laundry, it displays the outline from the kitchen backsplash. And visa versa for the kitchen side. Any suggestions to alleviate the 'blead through' would be highly helpful. =========== Also - does anyone know why subway tile backsplash is off on alignment? For example 3x8 tile stacked is approximately 6+/- inches. Why does Chief want to split the upper and lower then leave a full tile in the center. I've tried manually adjusting via different views to no avail. Thanks for the assistance in advance -

    Hey Robert -Awesome! Thank you. There are so many things to find and sometimes you need the proper words to search. This will come in handy. Have a great day! - Drew

    Thanks DB for the great idea, I did not try that. Also, John exceptional design! Good job. I've seen the chrome or steel 'buttons or caps' for glass before. Are those tucked away somewhere within Chief's library? Or did you make those? I could implement something like that if you could share where you found them. Thanks!!

    Good day all, Trying to figure out the best way to place a ceiling into a closet below some stairs. The owners would like the same stair system as the other floors, however I can't seem to figure the sloped ceiling for the closet below. It's probably an easy setting somewhere I'm just overlooking - hmmm. Thanks for the assistance in advance. - Drew

    Thank you Robert, Been busy with other items and not sure how I missed your info - Thank You. I'll revisit those areas and implement your suggestion, as it looks like it worked for you just fine. And I'll apply tile as well to the upper portion of Exterior Wall with a Window inserted. Thanks again - Drew

    Good day, This covered parking was done by creating Railing and Deck/Straight Deck. We would like to add say a 24" section of exterior wall covering from the top beam down. Tried some options - however no success. I suspect there is a proper way to do this?.......... Thank you - Drew
  16. Drew-PRH
    Thank you so much! That looks pretty easy. I was just not using the proper search terms as well as not knowing the direction of search. Good job rgardner and Kbird1 (Mick). Great information! Thanks again - Drew

    Good day, Has anyone applied a ramp sink (sloped sink) to any of their Chief designs? If so, where did you find it from a library if there is one? Here are few Undermount photos. We have a company here in Bend Oregon (Cement Elegance) which manufactures counter and sink as one integrated unit, which is fine. I happen to be looking in the undermount direction at this time, not the integrated as one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you - Drew

    Good day, I am needing to place a 2x4 partial wall (pony wall) over a portion of the 2x6 Exterior Wall. For Example: The 2x4 Pony Wall will join the 2x6 Exterior wall - stud to stud. As seen in the images, the Pony Wall will be 64" high, and have a niche within that wall. Tile will not apply properly to the 2x6 exterior portion on the interior side. So I am having some issues with creating the proper application so all walls looks and flow together. Thanks for the insight to build this proper - Drew

    Good day, Unless I am missing it somewhere beyond the online searches and CA X15 Door Specifications, I can not find how to apply door hardware to 'BOTH' bypass doors. I was going to use the rectangular pocket door handle, since there does not appear to be a round cup pull. Which is fine. How can this be done please? Thank you in advance! - Drew

    Good day,

    I noticed a feed you contributed to here:

    With that I am working on a similar staggered lap with reveals of (according to LP for 12" and 8") 10-7/8" followed by 6-7/8" repeated.

    So my question is, how can these texture images be modified?

    And is this something I can do myself?  I would potentially make other patterns.

    I've located them and included them as reference.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated - Thank you!

    Have a great day.

      Good day rlackore,

      I've figured a quick solution by editing the original Hardi jpg image within CA.

      I suspect you created or altered an image in something like Blender, Cinema 4D, or similar.

      This will work for what I need.  I'll just make some finer adjustments on my image and then I can also create the other variations needed.

      Thanks you - have a great day!  Solved.

    Here is the answer to solve this uneven soffit plane for a roof with a cantilever. In this instance there is a 4' cantilever around the home and this area at the porch was not showing fully the same cantilever plane. To extend this cantilever to fully enclose this porch area soffit to be flush, you will need to adjust the boxed eave setting on the roof plane where you are seeing the issue. To do so: 1. Open the roof plane specification for the 'roof plane' where you are seeing this issue. (in this instance, it was above the porch) 2. Go to the Options panel 3. Uncheck Flush Eave 4. Uncheck 'Default to Overhang' and change to 140”. (See the attached images showing how this came to be 140" for this specific roof plane area) Your cantilever should now span the entire area. Hope this may help somebody in the future - Drew

    Good day, Might there be a way to adjust the truss cantilever for an irregular shaped exterior wall. Please see the attached images of different views. Unless I am missing something, I don't see within the 'Rood Plane Specifications' dialog and option to modify that. Since it is a Cantilever, it is the same plane as the interior ceiling. Any help would be Appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

    Good day, Working on creating a Privacy Wall 5' high with post legs at the bottom essentially lifting the privacy wall up 6" off grade. Going through the "Railing Specs", I can not seem to extend the post (newel) legs below the wall. Might there be a way to do this? Or should it be created another way? Here is what was done: Railing Specs: General) Railing Wall Type) Interior Railing Wall Cap) 8-1/2 x 1-1/2 Rail Style) Specify Railing - Solid Newels/Posts - Post to Rail Newels/Balusters) Railing Height - 60" Newel/Posts Width - 5-1/2" Spacing - 60" Type - Square Thanks so much in advance! - Drew
