Hello, I've been struggling to recreate this vanity and have solved most of my issues but am stuck on the lower portion. My biggest issue is recreating the open back and side brass supports for the bottom of the vanity. I tried removing the toe kick then splitting the bottom open portion horizontally but then I run into issue with opening the sides and back as well as getting the brass finish applied without too much of the vanity also converting to brass. Here is a photo of where I'm at along with what I'm trying to match. thank you for your time helping me learn this.

Thank you, I'll give that method a shot next time around. Would that give me trouble with a jamb above the glass? also curious If the jamb would extend all the way to the ceiling or would it just stop at the height of the shower door? we usually leave about 12" gap between the door and ceiling and I'm concerned that portion wouldn't display the tile/jamb.

No problem, it can be hard to explain sometimes, my goal was to have wainscot tile around the whole room and tile to the ceiling in the shower and on the 4.5" width portion of the shower opening. I was able to make it look like that with wall material region tool selecting the space to be drywall, then deleting all but the backboard layer and setting it's thickness to 1/32" after unchecking the "cut finish layer" box. It seems like there would be an easier way but that's how I got here.

I just finished trying your suggestion, It looks like It mostly works but wants to wrap around that narrow portion of the wall to the point where the glass meets, I had forgotten about the wall covering tool from a tile video though and might be missing a step.

1) I didn't understand this suggestion at first, but your saying just draw a rectangle with the 3D solid tool and position it carefully? 2) I was able to get this one to work after selecting that and then just leaving it as one layer of backer board that I painted to match the rest of the walls. a bit of extra work but I'm very happy to have a working solution, thank you. 3) once I switched to a pony wall I was able to control the upper and lower portions independently but they would both wrap around the corners respectively, is there a step or box I missed with this solution? Option 2 is very much appreciated, just trying to learn as much as possible. thank you!

Hello, I'm trying to get my tile to apply to the inside opening of a shower without it being applied to the rest of the wall above the tile wainscot. I've tried the custom backsplash tool and that won't register to the narrow portion of the wall, I also attempted applying the tile to the entire wall by selecting the narrow section and then defining a custom wall material region but that ends up removing wallboard from the opening entirely. I'm surprised I haven't encountered this before but any help would be thoroughly appreciated. my plan file was too large to share so I'm hoping these photos will help enough to understand my problem.

I'm definetly still struggling a bit with exactly how this is all working but after your 2 helpful videos I was able to get this which is going to have to be close enough, thank you for the help.

That definitely helped me understand what I'm doing a lot more clearly but It doesn't want to join the two planes correctly, I'm currently doing the barrel portion with a single plane and have tried inserting a line break where my ceiling meets the drywall as well as where it meets the framing and it doesn't seem to fix it regardless of which ceiling plane I drag and/or how far I drag and join them. Do you have any additional information that could help me solve this? Thank you for this video so far as well. Another detail that might be causing my issues is that the bottom of both ceiling slopes meet the wall at a different height, the barrel ceiling is about 4" higher where the wall meets.

I tried it initially with one plane but I couldn't figure how to tell the program to set the low point to the two long walls instead of starting low on the window wall and sloping up towards the rest of the room so I followed a similar chief tutorial that said to draw half the slope then copy it onto the other side, is there a way around that? My new problem trying it that way by setting the pitch to zero is that it locks the bottom and top heights of my slope to be the same, is the option I'm meant to change on a different page? Edit: I figured it out, I haven't solved the main issue but your comment made more sense while watching the video and I got it to work with one plane.

Hello! I'm looking for help connecting a barrel ceiling and angled ceiling where they meet and I'm struggling to find a solution. I drew my room and changed the ceiling heights to match the house then added 3 custom ceiling planes, 1 long rectangle for the angled wall and two shorter runs meeting in the center above the toilet for my barrel ceiling, the problem I'm having is joining the two together where they meet. I also couldn't figure out how to cap off the side of my angled ceiling when I had it drawn short but that's not the primary issue ( hoping it would extend the wall drywall onto the side but it was just an open view into the attic) Becker Working Plan.plan

Hello, I've used the NKBA auto dimension tool in the past and really enjoyed the time savings but on this drawing I'm working on it doesn't seem to be available, I pulled up a chief tutorial video and it directed me to the auto dimension tool and to the default settings to edit the NKBA settings but it's not present, can you please help me find what I'm missing.

I'm trying to put together a shower and like the custom backsplash tool to show depth of tile on walls but am running into a problem with the straight glass pony wall intersection. I started by drawing a half glass pony wall across then inserting a glass shower door on the end so that it hinges on the wall. My problem is that the portion of the wall that would be knee wall if there was no door won't accept the custom backsplash so I'm left with an odd rectangle of drywall, I can paint it the tile color but then it still appears as a depression. All help is appreciated

Thank you, the problem was that I had applied a colonial casing from a cabinet catalog and it was oriented upside down as far as doors are concerned, once I grab CA 03 from the chief catalog it all worked how I hoped and the tip about casings being thicker on the top and base on the bottom will help me avoid this confusion in the future. The Ignore casing when resizing is going to be helpful as well so that I don't need to just leave the casing oof, I'm trying to limit how many things I jerry rig together as I learn the software.

I have a two part door problem if anyone could help with either it would be appreciated. 1) I've done a few projects with flat eased casing so I never noticed until just now when I selected a colonial casing for my doors, Chief is putting the casing on backwards (thick end on the jamb and thin butting into the base) what should I do to fix this? It's on a new drawing so I don't believe I've mistakenly selected an odd option to cause it. 2) The same door I'm drawing is one that's already existing and it's casing is shaved down on one side in the smaller room so that it can be forced further into the corner and provide a 24 1/2" space needed for the vanity run, In the screenshot it's the 22.5" measured portion. If I could hide the casing on the small room side (exterior) I could work around that but that selection is greyed out and it only has the option for me to disable casing on the bathroom side (Interior) which I will need to have in my render. Any help is appreciated and I'm happy to provide more context if it would help, Thank you in advance.

You were correct and thank you for the advice, it's working just how I hoped it would now. I imported it to a far corner of my drawing this time but will try it to a CAD layout as well to try and avoid gumming up my files with extra PDFs

I'm working on a layout and want to insert a line break so that I can drag and adjust to hide the bottom right area of my fan tear sheet (glass and shipping) but line break icon doesn't show up like normal and clicking 3 doesn't prompt a break. I'd be happy to hear a good resource or thread to learn from as well as I've still got a lot to learn.
