Create layers for furniture_room_a, b, c, d, etc. Select all the furniture in a room. Set the layer for all those items to one of those layers. again, again, again Now you can select just the layers you want displayed or not. You might want a display layer set for each room so you can switch quickly. It might also help to know what your system specs are, especially what GPU

Simple. Select a Room On the Edit Toolbar click the icon "Create Room Elevation Views"
-
Dimension Defaults > Secondary Format
-
One thing to note is that if the custom toolbar uses custom icons they must also be copied to the same location on the second system.

Yes, but you also need to use an exterior room molding polyline for the horizontal at the top and bottom.

I use another wall framing Layer (extreme exterior Layer) with 2.5" width x 3/4" thickness. It will frame with a bottom plate \ double top plate, as well as headers an sill plates. It actually creates very manageable edits - but works pretty well. I've also used Wall Material Regions but there are edits needed with that method as well.

Slow physically-Based rendering speed (low GPU usage)
Joe_Carrick replied to JBradleyConst's topic in General Q & A
Rendering a Chief Model with the GPU (PBR) doesn't tax the GPU. The NVIDIA GPU's are designed for gaming which requires a lot more power. You shouldn't be concerned about the low usage. It's normal. -
I saw your post on Chieftalk. SITE AREA ANALYSIS MACRO PACKAGE Is this still available and compatible with x16? Also looking for a stair macro. I have been using AutoCAD Architecture for 30 years and am just switching to Chief Architect. I find the table/schedules and text options for customizing lacking and difficult. Any help or suggestions much appreciated

Place breaks in the room molding polyline and configure it to the shape you want. Make sure each segment you want to have a molding on is checked "Molding on this Edge". Openings will not have a Molding.

Cailin, It's not a "Library Door". It's just specified in Chief's "Door Tool" which has settings for almost anything you could want.

I just make a cad rectangle that matches the sheet size. I display the sheet boundary to get it right. Then when I send to layout - full sheet all my plan views are perfectly aligned.
