I would make either the left or right side "match front" and then turn off "flat sides" for the toe kick, and that should get you close to the look you want. The nice thing about the "match front" is that when you modify the front face then the other side will update automatically.

Also, depending on what you want to do with it after, you could convert it directly into a symbol.

Assuming you are trying to use the real time raytracing using your video card and not the CPU raytrace, this tech article might help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00106/troubleshooting-3d-camera-view-display-problems-in-chief-architect.html If not, then you might want to try tech support.

Go to your drawing sheet setup and make sure plans have the same sheet size, drawing scale and line weight options. If it's not one of those settings it could be the layer set.
-
Open up the ALDO. Find the layer that you are looking for. If it has a "+", then that means something on the layout is using it. Right-click on the layer and you should see "find objects on layer" in the context menu. "Find objects on layer" should take you to the object using it.

how do you select different grass types for grass regions?
DBCooper replied to vikiw_bend's topic in General Q & A
Just to be clear, Chief has some grass materials in the library and these can't be applied to grass regions but they can be applied to other objects, like terrain features. Chief also has a bonus library of grass regions that can be downloaded and then you can place them directly into a plan. You can also create your own custom grass regions in a plan and add them to your library for re-use in other plans. I misunderstood your original question and thought you were trying to apply a grass material to a grass region. -
Maybe you accidently deleted that camera at some point? Regardless, if the camera is missing then you can't update the view. You should probably find the layout box with the missing view, recreate the camera and view, and then either relink the box to the new camera or just resend it.
-
I don't think you can specify the resolution when using "export picture" from a floor plan view like you can with camera views. You just get the current screen resolution. You could try exporting as a pdf or a dwg instead.

DBCooper replied to vikiw_bend's topic in General Q & A
When you create a "grass region", the program generates the grass for you. You can change the way it looks by changing the various settings. If you have made one you like, you can add it to the library and then place it into other plans. You can't apply a grass material to it though. You can also create a normal terrain feature and apply a grass material to it. The grass region will look much more realistic though. -
Elevation Symbols keep disappearing - please help!
DBCooper replied to suhrdesign's topic in General Q & A
If you don't actually save the camera after you create a new view, then it can go away automatically when you close the view. Check your project browser and see if they are still there. If they are, you can right click on it and use "edit view" to see what layer they are on and then check to see if that layer is turned on the current layer set for your floor plan view. If you still have them in the plan, and the layer is turned on, then they may be off the screen or hidden by some other object. If none of that helps, post the plan. -
As far as I know, "bumping/pushing" has nothing to do with cabinet fillers.
-
You can turn off auto fillers in your general cabinet defaults but I don't think that's your problem. If you had them turned off, they wouldn't come back. Must be something else going on in your plan but I have never seen that before. You should post your plan or send it to tech support.

You could probably just use polyline solids. These might help get you started: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02925/using-3d-polyline-solids.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/249/editing-a-solid-to-create-a-fireplace-and-chimney.html

You should probably post a picture of what you are seeing. If you're looking at the second floor and the roof over your bonus room is on the first floor, it will show in your floor overview. You might get what you want by either changing the roof planes to display on the floor above or by just turning off the roof layers in your floor overview.
