It took about 5-8 min, all it was is the use of a few plugins. Pipe along the path, Extrusion plugins, and Radial bend... If you take the time you can make that chair to look better than in the picture. That said I wouldn't even consider modeling anything in chief other than basic stuff you can slap together in a few minutes. Chief is not for making 3D furniture models or anything else for that matter, it's a drafting program to make plans, etc Making 3D models especially with curves, etc it's to time-consuming because if it takes you 30 min to make something in Chief, it will take you 5 min in Sketchup because it's a model making software and all of the plugins are free (95% of them). As an example take a look at this plugin it costs a little bit but the number of things you can create just by putting a few minor details together.

GF, I'm not that good with videos but here is a quick chair I made for you in SketchUp. I didn't get into the details much (have a family function) but maybe you can use it. Merry Christmas! ChairCA.calibz

Beautiful job as always! Merry Christmas my friend to you and your family!

You don't need to export CA symbols to SketchUp, if you have SketchUp you can build that chair inside Sketchup in 5 min.

Inkscape is free and it's an awesome program.

You still believe in Santa? :-)

Customers pay me from personal funds... the work you going to do does not cost 10-100k, whatever you charge you should get the money upfront, this way you don't have to chase them around for your money and them coming up with a bunch of excuses.

Thank you guys, I will do that! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi fellas, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! One quick question, what controls dimensions when working with profiles to prevent this from happening. I don't remember having this before. How to reduce this dimensions so you can clearly see them. Thanks!

Thank you Dave! As always Much appreciated! I hope you and your family will enjoy the Bird and have a very nice Thanksgiving!

Use remove surfaces tool Untitled 1.calibz

No problem, glad to help!

Here is the biggest washer only. You can resize it as you need it. bridge+washer.skp

The fastest way is to do that in SketchUp it will take a few seconds,

What TKA said or what washer do you need from there?

Thank you Joe!

Thank you for sharing and taking the time... much appreciated!

When you in 3D warehouse on the right you will see model info. Click on the Materials and you will see the only material is there is stainless steel. The rest is SKM texture files. They are Texture file used by SketchUp, saved in a compressed.ZIP format and contain XML texture property files and they don't display in CA.

X2 What Mick said... I would never do a corner like that, the only good part about this corner it will save you a trip to Niagra Falls.

I don't think there is a setting, just take the rim joist click on it and pill it down... There are many other ways this can be done.

Go Framing Defaults>Foundation> Rim Joist and change to 3".

In there

Here you go you have to lower floor C -13" Buid4copy fix.plan

Very nice Steve! Thanks for the tip and the time to make the video.

Thank you Joe!
