There is something to this for sure. A quickie plan with two toilets is attached. You can see the sun is coming form the opposite wall that where the glow is shown on toilet 2.. whereas toilet 1, on an outside wall, has no glow. Cool.. but I am not touching it to change the batteries... TOILET HOUSE 1.plan

Nope... actually 1/2" off. There is a room on the other side of this wall too, not an exterior wall. Here it is as white... Symbol K-3983-S Reach Toilet Standard Toilet That's going to be a design trend in 2024... lol. I will do this tomorrow, because if its not happening with you all, then I am def curious now. There is a slight glow from the bowl area too... umm... what the heck did they eat, :-)

yes to all of the above.. and the same results with other porcelain fixtures as well

Why do my toilets, no matter the scenario (except at night) always glow? I know its a thrown to some, but... Any idea on how to fix? I have moved the sunlight from different directions, always a roof or foundation in place, but still a glow. All my plans this occurs.. I have these as matte too..

pretty cool.... literally.

I'm trying to understand the legacy thing here.. Since I have a paid in full license and keep it up to date with my SSA, I am able to purchase an additional license at $1295? BUT this isn't as I have with my legacy, whereas I do not own that new license and if I do not renew, I lose it? Since I am a one man show, this doesn't seem like a good business decision, when all I have to do is keep my SSA active and just transfer licenses back and forth. Or am I reading this all wrong? Thanks

They get these too.. just because my vids have always sucked. Haha.. like how the hades am I going to pay $350 a sq for this house at 8% Def going to try this.. yours and the other experts on here all suggested this. I'm not trying to break into Hollywood as a movie producer, I just want a very nice and clean travel path for my clients to view the product. You guys have helped tremendously. Already ahead from this time yesterday. Classic film, but now a days I fall asleep within 10 minutes. But, I should wake in time to see the credits.

At 15 fps.. so it's still kinda jumpy. So a crisper run would be going to a higher fps? This one I just did ended up being almost 4 minutes long. Still needs work, however night and day using the 3DConnection mouse and making a vid (I didn't get nauseated either). This took almost 40 minutes to process.. does that seem right? I am just now learning the preview tool, that would have saved time waiting to see the results after the render. I am using a standard camera.

You need help... LOL. I'm just trying to get the camera from dancing all over, and your making it to a music track. Your def in a different league. I have watched this and attempting my second go round. My first one, was all set at 3 seconds.. and man did it fly.. So this attempt I dropped about half the cameras to 1.5. It doing its "rendering" now.. This takes time, doesn't it? I had 82 frames in a 2 bedroom 1600 sq home, is this excessive? How do you guys stop, and pick up elsewhere? Or do I need to watch that vid again?

HAHA.. THIS IS ME TO THE TEE.. and it sucks. If I get dizzy, I know my clients are like wtheck!! I've never tried doing it via a path before, but it all make sense. Wow, Ok.. thank you Coop. Watching now. Do you spend a lot of time on these? I am working from behind with my resent PC issues.. I'm like a month behind, but catching up quickly and I don't want to spend hours on this.

Oh man did I feel you pain for the whole month of November.. It was so frustrating, and in a stressful kinda way. I tried everything, reboots, updating all the drivers, uninstall and reinstall windows, drivers, etc.. I broke down and just called Dell. It ended up being a hardware issue. My power supply took a surge, enough to burn out a phase, but enough for the computer to work, barely. It took Dell over a month to get the PC fixed, but she's running like brand new again. I can move a door, and it moves in real time. If yours is under warranty still, get them to do a diagnosis. Dell remoted in, so I didn't need to take the tower anywhere. Your specs look like you shouldn't have any issues at all.

Hello Chiefer's.. I frequently use Chiefs OOTB camera to do walk throughs and arounds.. it sucks. Sorry, but it does. One minute on space mouse forward motion is only 3 second of vid. (vids are too fast and choppy). Besides going outside Chief (like Twinmotion, which I am going to get used to using), is there another software a person can use to record walk throughs? I'd like to be to one to one, meaning one minute of walking around equals one minute of vid (you know, like the real world). OR is there a setting I just am not using??? My compression is at 75% and my FPS is 50.

Wow.. there is going be a huge difference in a lot of things for you. Plenty of new car smells, with bells and whistles too. Shoot, I just start getting used to the new stuff when another release comes out. :-)

@Kbird1 Ok.. I was hoping like $299.. LOL. Still need to check the numbers before years end, I might need more write offs. Do you know if the SSA is required for each license? Wishful thinking says no, but I probably already know the answer.

I recall this now, back in the day when Chief changed their direction, a lot of peeps were upset at the time. I didn't think much about it, since I had "mine".. and really wasn't planning on adding another system for just me. Thanks Ryan.

Hey Chief... I recently bought a laptop to keep the business going, since my desktop STILL hasn't been fixed by Dell. Supposedly tomorrow, hoping so. My question is, this toggling back and forth to transfer my lone license is a PITB, when do you plan on having a sale for a person who needs a second license and who is current on his SSA? Thanks

I had the same issue a while back Dano. What you need to do is open the room dbx of that "open below" area of the floor above that landing. Go to the structure tab and edit the floor structure, by deleting the materials. Once deleted, your Floor Structure will be 0". Hit Ok, then that OSB will disappear. Hope this helps. I am assuming your using X15. Regardless, should work with any prev release.

I always wondered how does one prove you or I copied a plan? I can see if I sold one set to a builder to build one house, but then a year later I see the same house built multiple times. That I can prove, but lets say you give me a magazine page because you just love the layout. I get your layout close, but with different variables so its 95% the same (different kitchen sink location, a little larger footprint or I used brick in lieu of stone).. Is it a copy still? With a million plus houses out there, even if one hasn't "copied on purpose", there has to be duplicates. Only so much you can do with a 2000 sq, ranch, right? So I guess to answer your original question, I don't duplicate any existing plan 100%. I do something to make it its own unique original. That should keep me from any litigation, IMO. Are you being accused or are you just thinking about potential liability?

@Flash691 Hi there Robbie. I'm not in Marianna but just south of Tallahassee, so we are about an hour and half apart via I10. I was through that way last week matter a fact. Let me know how I can help.

It is a lot of work... and not always friendly to use, but I haven't found another way way. Can always do a wall def with the reveal backing showing, and then model individual panels with solids.. let me know if you find a simpler way.

Hey Thomas, As mentioned, you will have to model the beams, post and footings manually. Start by building your foundation wall (walls with footings), then build your floor framing, so you can strategically place your beams. There is a post with footing pulldown to get you started, then use your floor/ceiling beam tool. Its really not that hard, just more time consuming than a house on slab.

Yeah they do this all the time, I just note it on my plans and they make it happen. I was wondering if I could show in Chief.. with auto roof truss framing.

As the title states, I am putting an air handler in the attic of this small 1400 sq single level home. Actually, they do that a lot here in the panhandle of FLO. How do I notch out an area so that the trusses do not fill this area? It's too late to do anything on this house, but my next house will have the same situation. Do I need to make a "room" def. up here?? Any ideas will be helpful. Thanks in advance

I always turn the corner with the full height wall with brick, by like 24".. then continue on with the pony. This way you wont have the gap on the end of the brick wall (where air gap is)

I rarely use Chiefs backdrops just for the thing you mentioned and also the actual views we have to chose from. Who builds there home on a wave, in the middle of a lake or in the middle of the road as what we have with our choices. If I can get to the site, I take pictures.. if I can't Google Earth is the route.
