I did reach out and they seem open to adding it - 

Thanks for the request. I’ll ask our content development team to pursue this.

We would be excited to partner with Huberwood to work on a digital catalog; we’ll try to reach out and create a connection with their team.

Would you do the same? We find that brands see the value of partnership when customers ask for digital access to their products in Chief Architect.

Thanks so much!

Hello,

I imported this nice symbol for a shower - https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/1d41e5de2d0d62249ab765831d580703/shower 

Unfortunately, while I can modify the height of the symbol, I'd like a slim window over the shower so I can only go so far.    I'd like to move or delete the shower head but using delete surface (the way I'm trying to) is quite a chore as you have to delete every single item - e.g. shower water hole one by one.   Is there a way to select an area when deleting surfaces or can I some how move the shower head up about a foot?

Thanks - I looked there - no luck unless I looked wrong.  I tried waterpik and I tried flosser.

I know it seems like such a minor thing but has anyone got a waterpik symbol?

Exactly.  That is very similar to what I'm trying to develop in my CA plan.

In your default settings, select 'Camera Tools' and make the change in each selected camera type.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try that.  Is there a way of changing it so it always selects the light set you want instead of changing it every time you open CA?

Is this the sort of question I should ask in services offered section and pay someone?   I'm fine if it is, I want to use this forum the way it is intended.

I notice sometimes a room seems very dim in physical view - I go to adjust lighting and just click Done and the room lights up.   I have 200 lights enabled.    I can wait there for 5 minutes they don't light up the room but the second I click on done in adjust lighting they are on.   Same issue if I have just 80.

Anyone else have this problem - if so is there a way to just have them on all the time without having to click adjust lighting?

I have that problem in a number of ways as well - some of the doors with panes in them have some panes lit from the other side for some reason.

I haven't found what I'm looking for yet but I did find a couple using the French term for shower.

Hello,

I'm looking for a shower with 3 sides glass.    I looked here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true  and here https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com  and didn't find much.

I was hoping to find something like this  

I could build one (I think) but would prefer to find something already made for now.

Hello,

Before we fix my 1st floor truss structure, or any wall framing,

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AonCBRorVv74rBiIcrwMhFkg16dY?e=QhJulE

I thought I'd ask for anything I should know about fixing the walls and floor of my basement.   For now it will be an unfinished basement - no idea if I'll change that - depends on the slope of the land which I haven't purchased yet.     I'm going to skip windows for now just to try and focus on one thing at a time or at least as few as possible as I get lost when I try to fix one thing it often makes something else all catawampus as I'm still at the early stage of learning the basics of CA.   I'm sure I'll add windows but for now I want to fix the wall structure and the floor.

I'd like to use this method of insulation as I haven't any reports that CC can cause efflorescence with the cement.   I was going to go with 10" 3/4" stone, then 2" of EPS then the closed cell - not sure if I need the 10 mil poly or not.  4" cement floor.

I'm not sure if I'd use a dimple mat or a protection board.

Thanks!

Thanks - I definitely don't know what I'm doing and have a great deal to learn.   Thanks for the helpful info.  I have 1000 things to fix but people on this forum have been great about sharing their wealth of knowledge.

I don't know how it fixed it but I just got rid of the larger of the subdivided room  - redrew walls for it and it now has a level ceiling.

Thanks - 3 of the rooms have short ceilings for the sake of sound isolation.    I'll have ductwork and wiring going through the trusses (once I put them in).   I realize thanks to your suggestion, I don't need a roof over the storage area as it won't be making any noise.

Thanks - in the first post the plan is attached via the link.   I have two island rooms connected and the wall shared between the two stickes up higher than the shelf ceiling.   I'm trying to find out why that dividing wall sticks up.   I keep trying different ways of making it but don't seem to have a solution.   If I make one ceiling about an 1" taller than the other the dividing wall is the right height but when both rooms have the same height, the dividing wall sticks way up.

I can live with the 1" different but am curious why it sticks up if I make the ceilings the same height.

I tossed in a wall break and while it fixed the wall height it left me this unusual construction racing stripe.

Hello,

I got some great help with the shelf ceiling but have not mastered it.  

I'd like the circled wall to be the same height as the wall with the arrow pointing to it.   https://1drv.ms/u/s!AonCBRorVv74rBeOi303s89xc0sU?e=roKUgp 

Thanks - I love that fact that no matter what my question, I get some great info that may or may not be directly related.

Thanks, Tommy! When I get closer to having an idea what spaces I want, that will be important info!   I have a ton to learn.   I'd have someone who does this for a living fix my drawings but every nuggest like that helps me to get a little more realistic.

So are you saying I'd throw some framing up between the foam on the walls and attach the island rooms to that framing?

Thanks - I see that I can remove the divider in the center of the little room so the measurement comes out OK.

Thanks - I guess they don't matter much but for some reason it is messing up my room measurement - is there a way to let CA do what it thinks is right but not have it divide the measure ment down the middle?

Hello,

When I throw in a wall (at least that it is when it seems to happen, I might get these lines and for some reason I can't delete them.   It seems like they are invisible room dividers but I could be wrong. I'd like to know how to prevent it and how to get rid of these.

Thanks
