Not recently, as it hasn't in the Past , Screenshots with the Snipping Tool do as good or better, I found, hence the Comment as believe me I have tried. Maybe it is working better in X16 ? M.

Hmmm not a legitimate Question DB ? M

If Photoshop or the Free Gimp are not you thing, give PixPlant a try , I think there is a trial version and the cost is low for single practitioners with special pricing. PIXPLANT M.

Have you tried it in X16 ? I haven't but it didn't really used to make much difference in the past that I noticed..... the default exports are a bit lacklustre. M.

Hi, Unfortunately no, you are not missing a setting, Auto Panels do not Dimension , you have to use small CAD lines ( make them look like Ext. lines ) or make yourself some End Panels from the Appropriate Cabinet Type, 3/4" thick and save them in your User Library and then drop them into plan from your Library. there are Threads Here on doing that. A Tip from Me would be to add your Forum Signature as so answers are Version specific , see Mine below , but knowing OS, Chief Version and sometimes Computer hardware is useful.

Not really for onscreen Viewing unfortunately, but you could add this as a suggestion for higher Res. exports over in the Suggestions Forum, but that maybe a Standard Camera and PBR will look better , but lighting will need to be worked with. M.

Late to the Party but PM me if arrangements fall through, thanks. Mick.

I think you could just use 2 different Wall Materials Regions for this , with two slightly different materials , same as you would for a Field Tile with a decorative Band or Stripe. M.

The Rendering Artist might know, Jintu goes goes by the Name Chiefer Here , but no way to know if that is one of his designs or a Clients ? @Chiefer I'd start with a standard wall , and use a Passageway off the Door Menu and give it an arch top and configure the Casings as needed, then do the Columns out of Solids, as the don't interact with the walls and mess things up.

Hi Gene , sorry busy week , I just had a quick look and fixed things up, but it's not Automatic for sure in this case, I haven't looked at Steve's plan, I just wanted to have a look at this myself but unfortunately I don't really have any Insights for you, it was just 20-30 mins trying stuff until one fix didn't ruin another.

Thanks for the Heads Up Jim.... M.

If there is a one method that works in all situations, I haven't found it either but hey I've only been playing with Chief for 15 yrs or so still learning..... M.

Oh no problem at all Brett, I was the only one around on Sat. ( working ) is all, the more the merrier especially with quirkiness like this...... sometimes Dormer go easy, sometimes not for seemingly no reason. The Pic above appears to be the same problem in the 1st post though. Mick.

Sorry Gene wasn't here yest. but it appears to me from the Pic you have let the Roof planes cut into the walls again and not notched the Roof Planes around the walls. the wall on the Left it now occurs to me does not need Roof cuts walls set as you want it down to the Floor , I am not sure about the right hand side though?

Not sure why this one is so hard? did you try cutting and pasting that cheek wall up on to the attic level ? then dragging left?, it might destroy the exterior wall again though. M.

maybe i wasn't clear enough? i meant shape the room wall and drag it left under the cheek wall. M.

I would normally shot a elevation camera at the wall and then in Elevation Shape the wall as needed under the Cheek wall.... if that fails the old standby 3D Solid also in elevation? * it appears you have no floor structure in that small attic area in the pic above. M.

That's a bit confusing.... it works well with FF but doesn't ? M.

Check out the Plan File above..... M.

It's huge for a small plan like this, I removed the Stairs and Toilets, beds etc and purged Materials , which didn't seem to help much , so I did a Plan File Only backup in Chief and it lost 70mbs ! so you were right I guess , some hidden textures........ drop this plan back in the same folder as the original plan and it should find the original textures no problem, though 3 were missing for me in 3D Views. Just copy paste the furniture etc back in from the other plan if you are just going to use this File now.... Gene 1.zipPlan File Mick.

Part 1 of the Issue is the Cheek Walls being on the Attic level so the Roof Cut Wall setting is not working properly , at least that is why I think that didn't work... Part 2 is you didn't close the back of the Dormer with an invisible wall which help to control the Cheek wall Length , which is why you see holes in the Valley, the Cheek walls are just too long. but it's all fixed up, I am not sure what you have in here as I can't see this plan being 71mbs normally ? M.

If you "fight" chief's auto snap , and try doing it manually it often doesn't work quite right ..... I forgot to mention earlier nobody can get your plan as you haven't set the permissions to everyone so they can download it

just confirming Link works here in Edge and Firefox.... M.
