I've never seen one specifically. But I would just do a molding and lay it against the existing exterior foam, to get that ledge. Use this method, just model a molding p-line https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00070/adding-a-belly-band-to-a-structure.html

Looks great!

Im thinking mine would look like that after a couple of days with these 3 hairy dogs always around, but that EVGA Chopped linked was cool. Hey Rob, you liking that new Alien? I didn't buy one last year because delivery was way out there and I thought we would have been while I was out of town...

Heck your right in the hood where Chief is headquartered I think... "Coeur d'Alene, ID", so if you drink the water, it will come natural to you. Looks good and the cranking the Van Halen adds some attitude.. love that song. Good luck...

Your fans are probably kicking in...

Hi Glenn, Yes sir, this is what I did. Your talking rotate with this "grip" or whatever its called.. right? (circled in red)

Thanks Perry.. Beta for 14 is taking apps, maybe it will be in the new version.

How do I get my NOTE balloons to rotate with the plan, when "rotate with plan" is checked and still not working.

I love team building meetings...

Its easier to do this in Twinmotion.. I had a similar request last year.

I use a molding on the top.. like a belly band, but a brick profile. Then I don't have to mess with any setting.

Sometimes its the obvious things.. geez! Thanks Mark. That second floor was added after the fact.. so I must have missed something

follow up, still a issue, but getting worse. As I move the railing out to adjust for size.. the hole gets bigger.

got it.. a dumb cupola was taking a big chuck of the size. go figure! 951192931_RAILINGISSUE.plan

Working a small addition above a carport to a small bungalow. The deck that will connect to stairs is causing me fits. Don't know why either. I've done a hundred of these things, but this is the first time the railing goes all the way through the exterior wall. Any ideas on how to correct? Side note, I am trying to attach plan but its says its too big.. ?? Even compressed and zipped. Nothing to this model either, since its a addon, just the shell of the existing house. Is there a step I am missing to reduce the size? No furniture, plants, fixtures so scratching my head on this.

a cad block is the key. I had drawn the new muntin's.. but forgot to covert to a cad block. Once I did, the icon popped up.

I get this every once in a while.. I just tab through it until it gets what I need. Something to do with molding like a belly band I believe..

Never mind, I found it as soon as I hit send..

Needing to do some custom muntin's, and found the how to, but not finding the "Load Muntins" button.. any ideas on where this is hidden?

Hmm.. I can't answer your question. But do have one for you, which website are you building your new PC? I's like to check it out as well. This Alien is tapped out.

That did it Chop thanks man!!! I typically ask on here first before going to tech.. It might be I am having a lapse of commons sense, which these guys are quick to point it out. :-) not a simple plan... very large file.

Not really able to tell what the first picture is...

Anyone know how to change the material of a sq. half post? I'm using cable as my "rail", so I need a piece at the end to connect to. I didn't want to cut a newel with cap in half.. wouldn't look right. I tried painting also (even though I don't like doing that) to no avail... I will have this scenario in many spots, so trying to avoid doing a poly solid.

I couldn't agree more. I like the OOB you get with Twin, but if there is a change to the design, you have to start over pretty much anew. I am to the point now, and my wife will vouch.. because she hears me all the time, that I just provide regular camera views 99% of the time, no RT or PBR. PBR just doesn't work as easy as it should. Some of you guys out there are just experts and it comes naturally, it doesn't for me. Playing with textures is cool, but having to mess with lighting, OMG just kills my productivity. I'm not talking a fixture or too either, I'm talking sun angles and brightness, etc.. For example see my attached; the same ceiling material, the same exact material for both niches, the same lighting, yet.. well you will see. I shouldn't have to make it pitch black outside for this to be descent. I would love for Chief to focus on stairs, invisible walls, pony walls, and a whole list of architectural items to make our designs and construction packages even better, even just good quality renders even.. and provide a second party option to link with when we need to get more realistic. My clients love the realistic, but they won't pay for it, so lets keep it simple. I don't know if this was the OP original intent, but let the experts do what they do best and let Chief ARCHITECT do what they do best and figure out how to the TEAM the two with the least amount of effort.

Pretty cool stairs.. IMO I guess it "overlaps" for structural reasons? Will be interesting to see the detail on this.
