  1. okay I tried a Waste basket and a Drawer Insert and they only show if I drag them into a Cabinet ..... still playing ..you need to set the height off the floor that way though. M.
  2. how was the rev-a-shelf waste basket put into the cabinet?
  3. Should be , alot of stuff off 3D Warehouse has really high Poly counts , as it is not always done by Professionals , ie alot of Students post the Class "Projects" up there, not that I am a 3D Artist by any means, I just know Chief doesn't like Curves or rounded objects much or objects that haven't been optimised for Poly Counts. M.
  4. post the plan for others to try , as there should be no issues at all , unless perhaps the User has tried all sorts of Workarounds to "fix" stuff his/her version can't do. Unless you have just fond a new Bug in x10? Eric ,(Solver) plays with alot of HD files though from the HomeTalk Forum , so I'd think he knows. Also, it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in please, especially with the Software Version, and of course a Name is nice too ..............see mine below in Blue for how to do that. If you don't see my Signature then you have them turned off for the Forum or are perhaps on the CA Mobile WebSite.
  5. In the Defaults>Cabinets>General there is an Display option to Show Doors and Drawers which should work I think...not sure if it shows REV. Catalog items too as I haven't tried it...
  6. you can put the image in a frame or perhaps on it ? to give it "depth" if needed. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00254/placing-a-painting-or-picture-on-a-wall.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00007/creating-a-custom-picture-painting-or-sign.html
  7. Geez, Reputation too? I already named the method after him ... ahhh all right then
  8. Doug's Invisible Wall Method works nicely if you want a Two Post Corner , the walls can be pulled back from the Corner without them wanting to snap back together. Below I removed the Top Rail from the Railing DBX and Made my Own with a Molding Line so both the Top Rail and 2x6 Cap continue around the Corner. M.
  9. I didn't notice the Invisible Wall true, Doug has come up with his Own method , I just thought there was an issue with the Railings in Plan View , so I dragged them to the wall to see if it would fix itself and didn't look into it further . You are right it doesn't need "generate on low platform" with Doug's Invisible Wall Method but having it checked doesn't matter either it seems? at least from a quick play. Good method if you don't want the 1/2 Post on the Wall. M.
  10. Hi G. it's usually a good idea to run DDU before swapping Cards and then reinstall the latest Drivers after the Reboot https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ Once you register the Card and have you EVGA ID sign in, you can download Precision X too. M.
  11. All you missed Doug was when you convert to a Wall it loses the Generate on Low Platform check mark , when you switch it back to a Railing you need to check it again.... and it will Drop down as expected. here is your plan back............. done in X9. MHD_deck balustrade study 2.plan
  12. what step did I miss? cos I did it earlier and posted that pic.... nothing it seems M.
  13. There is some stuff under Interiors>Accessories>Wall Accents but not much.... maybe there are Bonus Libraries I don't have though? search accessories https://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php
  14. What Software are you using? because there are Floor and Beam Tools even in the Home Designer Titles this could be done with the Soffit Tool in the Cabinets Menu , it can be used for many different things and it will accept moldings too.

  15. Posted by @glennw in my Other thread .....with one change for X10 make sure Generate between Platforms is OFF on the Structure Tab 1st. You can do the fascia mount railing with 1 wall definition. No invisible walls needed. Define your railing wall definition with an additional external layer with Opening (no Material). This will offset the whole rail by the wall layer thickness. Check Generate on Low Platform (Rail Style...Build From...) Convert it to a non-railing wall and drag the bottom down - **** you can't drag down a railing.**** ie uncheck Specify Railing on the Railing Tab and Close the DBX, Pull the wall down as needed , in Elevation is easiest , Open the DBX again re-Check Specify Railing and RE-Check generate on Low Platform. Convert back to a rail. The main drawback of doing it this way is that you get a single corner post that would be difficult to support. *Note : I just found you can do the drop on one side and then in plan view pull the wall around and over the Other two walls so the drop is done automatically. Try these Fascia Mount Deck Rails and see if they work . one is Metric from your Plan..... MHD_Fascia Mount Deck Railings.calibz
  16. Turning on Show Arc Centers and Ends will help too so you can center the Wall Arc and the Custom Countertop Arc on top off each other , the use the Wall Arc Radius to work out the Radius of the Countertop. Actually I just found it easier to use the CAD Arc lines ( Polyline Tool ) and make two Arcs and then join them and convert to a counter-top ie if wall is 60" outside Radius set the inner arc to 53.5" radius and the outer arc Radius to 70" (very approximate for a 16" C.Top. and 4 1/2 wide wall) Also, it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in please, especially with the Software Version, and of course a Name is nice too ..............see mine below in Blue for how to do that.

  17. post the plan and let someone else try it.... may help narrow it down to your system....

  18. Older legacy just don't have the Pre-made Plan Views like the x10 OOB Template Plan for new drawings but as Mark said you can make your own quite easily. Depending on your Toolbars, you may need to add the Plan Views Drop down and Save Buttons to make it easier. I also wonder if you could copy old plains into a new OOB Plan and get them that way? haven't tried it myself....
  19. Well I guess that means they allow Returns then and EVGA has good RMA if needed ( why i was ok with going 2nd hand) , I'd take the discount , ask if they can do it for $500 all in.... ( don't ask , don't get) though I guess if it is a bad Card , C.C. would replace if under 15days or 30 days or whatever anyway... Do we need to go back and delete our videocard pots or is this good info for others to find? M.
  20. I went from a IPS NEC 23" to the BenQ VA 32" (BL3200PT) at 2560x1440 (...4k was just too Tiny for me) and love the extra size , in fact I got a second one on sale ,as they changed that line to the new Series which is the one you are looking at the PD Series I think (PD3200Q). The VA Panel has not been an issue for me and saved me some ( alot) money at 32" over IPS at the time. BenQ Tech. Support has been excellent , they also use local repair facilites ( at least here) to sub out work if needed, so no shipping across country if there is an issue. HOwever NEC was also very good when I asked them a few questions even out of warranty. However CAD/CAM MODE IS HORRIBLE don't use it ..... very bad Blue Cast....at least on the BL3200PT ..I am just using the User Mode and set my own Gamma and Colour etc as Off the shlef it was set to 100% Brightness and my Calibrator say 28% is perfect I actually use the Old NEC at 1080 X1920 (Portrait Mode) on the Side for Email etc....been working great. Most Vidoecards now have 3 DP outputs ( plus HDMI and DVI-D) so I am not sure Daisy-chaining is needed perhaps on a Mac its needed? M.
  21. That's great , if a bit pricey I imagine . Canada Computers has bought out alot off NCIX Stores who went under in Nov. . I think Memory Express got the rest of NCIX Store's. I can recommend EVGA for their RMA's , theWarehouse is in California but it is usually only 3 days with UPS if there is an issue. I've found I can get them to give me a UPS waybill for the return too M.
  22. I use the Logitech MX2 as a secondary Mouse and like it ... but I prefer a Trackball and use a really old Logitech T-RB22.... They just released a New one about 6 mths ago called the Ergo I think but it is a Thumb Trackball , and I prefer a Fingerball like the Kensington's or Elcom Trackballs. Some like the Space Navigator Combo buy 3DConnexions....
  23. Did you find a Retailer with a 1060 instock ? grab it while you can then ....just be careful where you buy then cos some places won't allow you to return it ....cos you don't like it... unless defective.... exchange it perhaps? M.
  24. That has always been so as Chief doesn't recognize SLI or Crossfire , as I found out the hard way, way back when I had Dual GTX 470s, I then went eventually to the single 970 for that reason as I am not a Gamer. M.
