  1. Looks like a Hazing Ritual for the new Draftperson in the Office the information is all there but it's no wonder the City want's it Cleaned up I work by the Hour and I am not cheap
  2. If you make a Room Molding Polyline and then break the RMPL at the edge of the Cabinet Kick , you can then select the portion upto the cabinet on the half wall (click right on the edit handle is easiest) and uncheck "no molding on this edge" , it will fill back in. It maybe helpful to drop a cad line in at the kick distance in from the cabinet face so you can accurately cut the RMPL. M.
  3. I believe you are right , ie. Send as Image , does not a remain live and would need to be resent.....
  4. Only send to layout>Current screen as Image seems capable of doing what you want in a quick test here.... I tried using an imported image instead too (assuming you have photo of Lot here) , then sending the Watercolor view with Image and current screen is the only one that works for me...other wise the layout box border around the house cuts a hole ( you see the layout background) in the image M.
  5. Thanks Joe , when I clicked on the Extension line the edit handle only showed it could move in and out , (when hovered over) , not up or down so I didn't even try it.... M.
  6. Maybe they thought you meant the Dimension number itself , those are movable (small square) and usually need to be , but I don't think the Marker's can be , at least not in my test plan , they can't be selected separately, but I can't get the wording to overlap like in your pic, they all move automatically like your Top of Slab Marker did M.
  7. Didnt think about it earlier but I just looked in the Original Plan and the Camera (no3) is a FLOOR camera not a FULL Camera ....hence no roof or foundation M.
  8. You can get a hint about PB Rendering in the X10 Preview Video, but it's public release is 4-6mths away I'd think , usually comes in the 1st or 2nd quarter of each year and as long as you have current SSA you get the upgrade free , so no reason not to go full version now , there is an option to Rent Premier too. Yes Photons on in all above pics but Caustics Off as they increase the time factor ...... Send your Plan to TS and get a few answers , as I see no reason Interiors shouldn't be able to do a good RT of an Interior, The Bleed is a known problem with the RT engine if there is no Roof or Floor system/foundation , not sure it classifies as a Bug though since the light needs something to bounce off and contain it... M.
  9. Okay ...in the night time view I thought it was a Terrace with doors leading out , in the daytime shot I see it is Windows and an Open Sash (casement) Window...
  10. the biggest issue is the Tone Mapping Settings ...just way to bright.... I set set it up something close to Graham's Post here .... Tone Mapping "ON" Contrast 35% Intensity 35% Softness 4% Color Correction 0% Brightness 48% Contrast 70% Saturation 50% https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/14512-lets-ray-trace/?do=findComment&comment=123490
  11. making corner windows is an issue , has been for many years , but you can force them to join by bumping them together , fast and hard usually . Not sure if the minimum window separation setting will help with the other issue or not? So why windows , not doors ? the photo seems to show a Door in the middle at least

    beginner

    The New X9 Tutorials Guide is pretty good too , it is an extended version of the User Guide.... and starts right at the beginning https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/documentation.html
  13. screenshot would like clarify it for the OP...I know what you mean though with the mask , I have not had this issue with a Wall elevation , they usually work well.
  14. No seems buggy to me , should go into TS for sure.... M.
  15. I thought you had set the Windows to Opaque glass ? but didn't check, I know Interiors can't generate a Sky ( I don't use it much anyway) but I had assumed you still had Backdrops ? I can turn it on in your plan but I have Premier. Interiors can't do Terrain etc either which maybe why they don't let you place objects outside. 3D>3D view defaults>Backdrop you may want to look at what you can and can't do in Interiors.... https://cloud.chiefarchitect.com/1/pdf/marketing/x9feature-matrix.pdf
  16. checking the Truss Box ? that causes the whole roof plane to drop to about 6" thick ....... at least in my plan.... I am not sure this is framed with a hip roof at 1/4" slope though...
  17. In photography I would say you were "blowing the highlights" you are way too bright and your intensity level is way high too. Contrast is 100% cos you left it on Auto etc under Tone Mapping Rebuild the Roof on Auto , you have tried adjusting the planes, as this works for me.... I don't have all your textures like on the ottoman etc. so 50 passes only took 1.22 Minutes , (1280 x720) my usual 10 passes took 17 secs ...maybe the fastest I have seen , no textures helps apparently Take a look at these Settings for a Starter , hopefully you have X9? , you have not filled in your signature so people know your specs....see mine below for a how too... Csoport_2B.plan.zip
  18. Seems like a bug to me but in this case checking the Balloon through option on the structure tab for the WALLS fixes the siding , the wall framing still stops at the rafter bottom, but a section shows two weird ??? I don't see in other views.... Is that a standard zipwall wall definition? ( we don't have zipwall here , just read about it...)
  19. Something similar can be done fairly easily with invisible walls and a few Panels from DMDz's Nana Wall Library (attached) ...... I updated his (very) old free Library , and he has since provided a Single Panel version too... He also has an Updated full Library on his website along with other free and for sale items .... DMDz NanaWalls Updated 2017.calibz DMDz_NanaWall Single Panel.calibz
  20. A Partition or Soffit from the Cabinet Tools will do that for you better as a Door will need a Wall etc to place it.....
  21. the picture is too small to see any details , post the plan.... did you raise the roof after the fact ? is auto roof off and needs an update? framing needs a rebuild? ....... too much guessing as you can tell M.
  22. I don't think you are using X9
  23. that was why I was curious , it always seemed to be in the way , so my current Template Plan doesn't have one.... M.
  24. There are two Tutorials in the KB on doing this if you need more instruction ? it is what CA calls a Cape Cod.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00653/building-a-cape-cod-roof-that-bears-on-the-1st-floor-walls.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00772/building-a-cape-cod-roof-by-adjusting-ceiling-heights.html
