maybe you don't have too , did you check 3Dwarehouse (Sketchup files) for Commerical sinks to import into Chief ? https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/index.html

I'd never thought of using an Arch till recently either then saw a tip on using the Dogear Arch ( no google doesn't know what it is either ) which can work for this or for Diamond shaped Windows by checking the "reflect vertically" box (sills and lintels must be off for Diamond windows though.)

Nice

@Jon I had a quick look at Masonry Designer and getting a Soldier Course is easy however I couldn't figure out how to make the outer rows lean out like in the PDF or is that something you have to do in Chief with the Texture? gotta think the Brickie wont be happy with no keystone to set the angle , he just slowly leans them over ? with a widen mortar joint at the top?

Thanks Jintu , good of you to post in .3DS so those that don't have X6 can use it too . appreciated.

Usually that leaves the Gable Sub Fascia still out there so I increase it's size to full rafter depth and change the material to the typical fascia colour, shadow boards should still be usable ? but on this one I didn't...... Also you may need to "Build Framing" to see it change on an existing Roof ( Auto Roof Framing has a habit of turning off)

Subject about says it , the is a OTR Microwave and some Kitchen items from Chief in the Announcement Form here https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/1689-thanks-for-the-challenge/

Win 7 inbuilt works fine but I too like 7zip for its extra features , it's also free M.

I don't have one but there is a KB Tutorial on making your own http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00463/ I may have seen one on doing Demo walls too? found these http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02208/17/Chief-Architect/CAD/Showing-the-As-Built-in-a-Remodel-Plan.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01170/

add an aftermarket parallel port to your computer perhaps... will need win7 drivers I guess , though I am not sure about running CA 8.0 on win 7, but you could dualboot win7 with XP and use it with just CA8.0 and a parallel port addon. ( same as a printer port I believe)

maybe you searched the wrong spelling ? Thread Subject has an a not an e eg chandelier light seem like way too many results on chandelier http://www.chieftalk.com/search.php?searchid=221331

looks like you tried moving the Dormer? Roof hole is outta place , is Auto Roof rebuild OFF/ you rebuild the roof yet or hit F12 perhaps? M.

yes the 2015 in the name made me think HD title and most probably don't use the link to Hometalk in the Help Menu .

those are the rooflines and can be turned off under Display Options >Roofs>Roof Planes remove the red check mark from the list by clicking on it and hit ok. for the Home designer Titles there is a dedicated Forum , they will know your title better , you can login with the same user ID and password. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

Yes Bonus and Manufacturers are pick and choose ......I export and save them so I can reinstall if needed usually , eg when your SSA is run out...

I thought Library>Install Core Content did download it all at once? maybe I misunderstand the question? edit: just saw you other thread about a possible bad install , so you maybe wasting your time download it now , if you need to reinstall on Mon.

Chief has always recommended Nvidia cards , I think because of how the OpenGL is implemented vs Radeon/ATI cards. even a 750 or 750Ti will give you twice the performance of the 450GTS and both are faster than the 7770

video card and Ram are very low spec for doing 3D work but you don't mention budget but.... upping both to what is affordable is probably advisable and I would look at nothing less than a 750watt power supply especially with a better video card installed , the gts 450 came out in 2010? and is only $65-75? nowdays. something with 2GB onboard Ram or more should be considered. minimum Computer ram should be 8GB , windows will happily gobbly up 1/2 that now days 12 or 16GB is better. video card stats http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+GTS+450 you might consider a 120 GB SSD to install Windows and X6 on and use the 500GB HD for Data Storage only too. M.

Thanks Perry will look into it , since I assume a number of benefits if you are both using this technique. M.

Ahhh missed that part of the question somewhere is there another thread on your technique, or has Scott done videos , like to look into it more as I do it the standard way now..... Thanks. M.

Perry , what am I missing , how does making the Basement Level 1 align the walls ? thanks, Mick

Yes if you had rebuilt the Basement you would of lost everything as I mentioned above , it deletes the whole foundation and re-does it , it doesn't just "repair" any issues it finds.... The Align tool uses whatever is set in the Wall definition as the main layer to do alignments , usually the framing layer on framed walls and for foundations since only one 8" thick layer the outside of the Concrete. (Here the plywood is usually flush with the concrete in real life though) M.

use the align walls tool on the edit toolbar as KT said cos if you rebuild the foundation you will LOSE EVERYTHING already drawn down there and need to start again..... only rebuild if you have no walls doors bathrooms etc down there ie the basement is blank....

they seem to hit after 10 pm PST sometimes later , I reported 3 late last night too...

Thanks Michael , got my learning for today never heard of a Dog Ear Arch , neither has google apparently looks like it might be a US term for cutting the corners of Fence Boards though.... Would of assumed these Diamond windows would be in the Library somewhere , they aren't that rare... M.
