You have to use full depth side panels which have a frame face of 1 1/2", 3" or 6" wide depends on the size you need and room you have to work with. Ref cabinet must have a min 36" clear opening under them, more if located near a wall. If you insert any panel under it you will never fit a ref unless you go for some undersized type. Also if you use a 3/4" panel you cannot attach your cabinet to it.

I agree with Perry, that should be shown on the plan so it can be visually referenced. I'm sure for CA it would be an easy fix, all they have to do is set the doors code parameters for a pocket door to be 2 X door width + 1" and Door height + 4 1/2" and maybe in a plan view show the door's actual opening by using a dashed line. Sometimes you have a door, especially if you design your plans for contractors or even homeowners, and if they want to move a wall in the field, at least they can see the outline of the rough opening of that door. This is what I started doing when showing the door in a plan view, because on a few occasions the customers said let's move this wall, seeing there is some room left with a door being there, this way now they can see the exact opening. So IMO that is a very important feature.

Anytime Steve!

When you create pLine and you make your radius using Change Line to Arc Tool, click Convert Line to pLine Tool and set number of sides to 64 and and after that convert to molding pLine and you will have a nice smooth curve.

I check everything out and change a few textures to Thea textures and its very easy to make adjustments to the model in sketchup if you see anything that needs adjutment

I export the model from CA to Sketchup and use Thea renderer from there

Post a plan would help to help you. Or pull another roof from that wall and join the roofs.

Is that what tile guys do now days in reality, they move walls so they don't have to cut tiles?

You don't need Inkscape, do a top view in sketchup, add one longest dimension so you have a gude and export as JPEG (it will look something like the picture #1 attached) and drop that image into Chief. Use point to point tool over that dimension in CA and do point to point over 70'8 and I have 31'11".( follow steps in image #2) Now when you trace over that dimension ( 70'8) your wall will be the same length. Now you can trace over that plan (image #3)

You should have 1/2" space around it to meet the code and it should be wrapped so its not in direct contact with masonry if it makes any difference to show that or note that on your drawings.

Glen thank you for the video! I got it... I totally missed that in Preferences, I looked in there over and over and I went right over that. Thanks fellas!!!

Thanks Yusuf! I been there and there is nothing for that. You cannot even zoom in closer in Perspective full view also. There is probably a limitation on how close you can zoom in.

I just notices in X7 I was trying to zoom in close on the area of the house to Render from a top view and it stopped at this point (picture attached) I cannot get any closer after that point. Is there a restriction set on the zoom how close you can go in Perspective View? Or is there is a setting that controls that? So I uploaded the model into Sketchup and ran a quick render with SK and I can zoom the model in as close as I want on any portion of the house any which way, Picture #2.

Anytime, Enjoy!

Maybe this will help you HVAC AirConditioner.calibz

Glad to hear that Dave!!!

Check and make sure you have floor thickness set in dbx... any type of hovering happens when there is flat layer on top of another layer, and hovering goes away as soon as you set thickness to a layer.

This was after 12 passes 25 min I changed a few materials because none of the originals from the plan were showing up

Try this Amie and that should work

Thanks Dave, nice to see you still kicking around!!! Happy New Year to you!!!

You pretty much built your stairs, select Style> Open Underneath and draw your wall or put put cabinets under there or anything else you like. Also select stairs and in DBX under fill select None so you can place your items manually. Here is a sample with a bathroom under it. I hope it helps.

I been using Camtasia for about 3-4 years, great program for video editing, you can separate video and audio, you can make presentations, put videos together, special effects, etc. They came out with a few newer versions since then free of charge. I mean there is so much you can do with it, I can't list it all. Snagit is good if you want something simple to make a quick clip, etc.

Merry Christmas to all the Chiefsters and Happy New Year!

Post a plan, it would help.

x2 What Scott said, I always put awning abstract window, this way you get privacy, light and it can be open if desired for extra ventilation.
