Hello, Can anyone tell me how to accomplish a tongue and groove wall in Chief? I did manage to figure out how to get bead board with a molding polyline, but I would like tongue and groove, not beadboard. The first photo is the look I want, tongue and groove, and the 2nd photo shows the bead board I have but would like to replace. When I just replace the bead board with the tongue and groove, I get just a single board of tongue and groove. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi Friends, I rotated my plan to fit better on my layout, but now all my room labels need to rotate 90 degrees. Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks for this suggestion. You mentioned "boolean operations". What is this?

I understand most of this, I'm just not familiar with what a "Loft" is.

Hi Friends, I'm trying to create a hood fan like in the image below. First I tried with a molding polyline, but couldn't get it flat on the back where it would mount to the wall. Then I tried with a 3D solid making breaks and selecting lines and changing them to arcs. This worked really well, except I can't seem to curve both the front and sides, just one or the other. Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Hello friends, How come my tongue and groove ceiling isn't showing up? See image including perspective behind dialogue boxes.

That was it! THANK YOU!!

That's not what I'm trying to achieve. Maybe I didn't word it correctly, I want the interior room wall length/width when I click on the wall. Here's a screenshot where I've selected the wall and measuring from the inside of this room to the inside of the next room. I want just the width of this room when I select that wall which would also be the length of the back wall.

Hello friends, I'm totally stumped with temporary dimension settings. When I click on a wall, I want the temporary dimensions to show me the interior wall surface to wall surface dimension. How can I adjust my default settings to make this happen.

Thank you for sharing. The more info the better.

Thank you. It looks like you pointed me in the right direction. I still don't know what exactly happened, but I had to mess around with the exterior wall above and eventually got it fixed.

Hello friends, I'm not sure how this happened to my windows. They didn't start out this way. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Hey Jason, This definitely sounds worth trying, so I searched "poster" in my library browser to try it and the only poster results I get are 4-poster beds and the periodic table of elements poster. I tried using the poster, but I have no idea how to proceed from there. Could you explain step by step?

oh yes, this ceiling was a whole thing. I had a ton of help from a very generous and knowledgeable member of this community. The goal was to loosely recreate the original building's space frame structure, but it's not an exact replica as I am just designing the interior.

@TeaTime This took me far longer than I'd like to admit. I had a lot of difficulty figuring out the X, Y, and X axis and the offset settings. Got there eventually! I created the 3D solid by tracing the outline with a polyline. Fairly simple for this symbol, however most of my other symbols are more complicated for that technique and it will take a very long time to create each one. If anyone has a easier way to make the image (symbol) into a 3D solid, I'd love to hear it.
