There's a dedicated layer you can turn off. Jim

I've noticed this too with my plans. Now that I think about it, many (most?) dishwashers are installed between base cabinets. Maybe the trick is to place it freestanding by itself and just pull a custom countertop over?

Good luck! Probably not possible as a tested assembly, but could be wrong. You might be able to convince the building official to accept an "equivalent" custom detail you propose. I suspect the floor topping is necessary to achieve the higher impact rating.

Does this get you close? Taken from Gypsum Assoc. Fire Resistance Design Manual, 19th Edition. If not, there are other systems in there that might work. Jim

Do you mean floor assembly?

Rob, There's a rustic wood materials catalog available. Maybe something there. Jim

Shayne, Click on "buy more catalogs," upper right. I guess the "premium" catalogs are the extra 3D plant catalogs, aside from the crime scene and medical stuff. My SSA license expires August 2025. Jim

I thought so. I wonder if what I was seeing is a bug. It's a pretty big house project and I brought it forward from X15 to X16. Oh well, I'll keep an eye on things. Jim

Hello, Was working on a finish schedule and noticed sometimes if I made a finish change, the schedule would not update dynamically. I would then need to open the schedule and close it for it to update with the change. Most times pretty sure changes happen automatically. So, my question is are schedules supposed to be fully "dynamic" or do they need to be "refreshed." Or, is there a setting somewhere for this? Or is this just a quirk? Thanks again, Jim

I have a full permanent X16 license. There are a few catalogs Chief still charges for.

John, Thanks for this tutorial and your other detailed posts. Hope to try this one day as I become more Chief-proficient. Jim

Might be an object Draw Order issue. Select the object and change the draw order to bring it forward, i.e. in front of the other objects. Jim

You might send an email to Chief tech support. They can probably help. Jim

Drew, I was able to do this. I just modified the Material Transparency Property. In this case, my deck boards were Redwood. Is this what you needed?

If you use Autocad, you can use Express Tools to create Arc Aligned text: You can then explode the text and convert to an extruded 3d object: which you can import into Chief:
