Is there a tutorial or method, in Chief, for drawings a 3D shade sail?

My captured colours were captured as material and are currently in my user catalog, but this is not accessible from my material menu

How do I transfer capture materials (Dulux colours) to 'my texture' so I can create a material showing these capture colours. I did this quite a few years ago because my custom file contain my 'back then' captured texture, but I can't remember how to do it.

Is there a door menu system that allows a single lock and handles for a double-hinged door? Either on the right or left-hand door leaf only. I only need the latch system on one door as the other door is fixed with internal barrel bolts. The door menu only appears to have an auto lock for both doors

What is the best method to custom draw a single 50 Ø SS handrail to the outside of an enclosed stairwell? I need the handrail to extend 300mm level with a 180º curved return end beyond the bottom step (AS1428.1 accessible compliance). I have a landing and 2 runs of steps. Ideally, I'd add some wall mounting brackets. Is there a good training video? My preference is to draw this manually and import it into my stairwell. I find utilizing the stair menu too limited when trying to produce flowing curved transition rail from landing to steps and finishing returns. (Happy to be proved wrong and learn the stair menu if the capacity is there.) I get a good result converting polyline on the molding in a section view, but this limits me to elevation view only. ie this method does not allow me to return across the landing and up the 2nd run of steps. Still using X15 but have X16 if the new upgrade provides a better outcome.

Indeed is has...obvious too! Thanks

Is that option only available on X16. I don't see anything to remove molding on the general page of the wall dialog. I have sorted this using a poly line but would prefer to know your method

Is there a method of deleting skirting from an individual wall when the default moulding (skirtings) is set for a room? eg. I have applied standard skirting throughout, but I want to remove the skirting from a bar servery in the same room. I am still using X15 and haven't moved to X16. Let me know if X16 has better control for this.

Yes, I did do that while waiting for a response. Probably the best and simpliest method as my plan file has become congested mutliple revisions. No doubt the wall height issue will be resolved with a new start

Somehow, I have a wall that does not reach the ceilings. The design is a renovation of an existing industrial office/shed with a suspended ceiling throughout. I have created a model/symbol of the steel portal shed and placed it within the single-storey structure. This is not shown in the images below, but I mention this to indicate the plan has some hidden unusual application. The ceilings are generally set at 2700, however the room below is set at 3000, but for some reason all the walls does not reach the ceiling. This only shows in the Room Specification menu. Plan View These short walls do not show in the elevations or sections. In some areas, the fire and acoustic walls continue through the ceiling to the underside and show correctly in elevation. I have put up this problem until the program does not allow me to place wall cabinets. These short walls only appear in the room specifications. The walls are not set as capped or rail walls. The room elevation is displayed correctly. The drawing is complex and messy, so there is every chance I have created a conflict, however I cannot find it. Any suggestions?

how do I make multiple copies in a radius or around a curve. I am attempting of position 60x20 batten @ 90 centres around a 3600 radius fascia. I did it successfully a few months back but have no idea what I did.

Thanks Fellas. It worked

I am trying to plot in 3D framing a brace @ about 45º in plan view, but also rising @ about 6º in elevation (or on the 'Z' coordinate plane). (The is in steel framing) I am using 'convert polyline' to a molding, but cannot raise the molding end height in an elevation view. (I don't normally draw structural steel in an architectural system, but hopefully, there is a method. Any ideas on how I might do this?

I am creating a large curve portal beam. 27000mm radius. How to I increase the curve segments? The default has too long segments in the curve, which does not look curved. The view of the I beam should be a nice, curved bend rather than an octagonal... hexagonal etc stagger look.

Yes, the Furring has worked correctly. Thanks!
