  1. Glad somebody else uses sheet notes. I love these things, rids so much clutter. I use them for my elevations and electrical plans too. However, to answer your question, I have not found a way, but I also haven't had the list you've had either. Would be a good thing to find out. I am not a custom macro guy, many on here are though. I wonder if a macro could be written for this?
  2. @tinadelllic Sounds like a lot of work actually. So you have the terrain all modeled the way you want it, but it needs to move 3'? Is there too much just trying to pick the terrain objects wo the house and then move? Like I was trying to say earlier, when I do have a terrain design that isn't typical and needs attention, I just model it next to the house in the same model, get the perimeters, contours, elevations lines or regions all in place, then just slide over to the correct location with the house.
  3. Material Regions would have been my guess and I was right.. . I am not to familiar with this in the real world, but it looks very clean. The gap between the trim section and the drywall, is that typical? How do you keep the drywall squared off and smooth like what is shown.. (talking in the real world)? Does look cool though..
  4. Hi Tina, Great question, and the cases I have had to do the same thing (about 20% of the time actually), I move the terrain. Esp. since most of the houses are too far along that I don't want to miss not picking something or if a layer is locked by chance. But, again, most of my terrains aren't to crazy so it easier to pick that to move than the complete home. When I have had this come up, I actually do the terrain to the side, so I can grab the whole thing, and move in a X and Y distance. Others I'm sure will have there way of doing it too.
  5. Very Interesting.. The house I am doing is a single story, with a roof truss system, and in a high wind load area (half mile from the gulf). Panama Beach FL I need to watch more form this content. Def detailed in the video. Thanks Gene
  6. Wow, some of you guys have been with Chief A L-O-N-G time. 2011.. http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?55266-Q-How-to-build-Seamless-Corner-Window @dshall @Joe_Carrick @lbuttery @HumbleChief to name a few members..
  7. Hey gents.. I guess I didn't phrase my question correctly. I know what a corner window is, and I have it in the model already, just like that link shows. My question is how do I frame it, in a detail (more curious how one frames these esp. at the corner. And in the real world, is this a one unit fixture, and if so, should my schedule have this as one window.. because right now its shows as two.
  8. A couple of questions on this actually. First question, can these only be fixed, I am assuming so. 2nd, should this be considered one unit, the schedule calls out two. 3rd, how is this framed? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
  9. OK, I do have the catalog of 3D Plants, just thought since they broke it out more with diff catalogs for each, it might have been different. Thanks Rene..
  10. I was under the impression, that if we have active SSA, and monies are taken out monthly, that all catalogs via Chief were free? I am looking at a couple right now that are not.. is it because they are for Home Designer series? If so, why can't they be used in Premier? 3D Plants - Trees 3D Plants - Shrubs just to name a few..
  11. Hi there.. Not sure if this helps, but there is a bonus catalog of decorator switches and outlets.. Its called 'MEP No.3 Decorator Switches and Outlets", they also have a "MEP No. 6 Specialty Electrical".. check them out, maybe it has what you need.

    My thought exactly...
  13. ugh... I was looking on every tab for a molding setting, and in the room dbx.. and its right there under options, "Ignore Room Moldings". SMH. Time for another coffee and to clean my glasses. Thanks Eric.
  14. I am adding a soffit over a kitchen island that will have rope lighting. I do not want molding here, but I do want molding on the wall to ceiling at the rest of the room. How do I turn off molding just at the soffit?? Thanks,
