  1. Style Pallets is another great option: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/247/using-style-palettes.html
  2. Thank you for sharing this Rene. Very helpful.
  3. Hi, Try posting this in the General Q&A forum and you will get many more responses. This forum is more of a collection of Symbols and Content. Regarding your question. I am assuming you are trying to use these manufacturer's products in your design? Chief does not have a catalog available for download for Kirby Risk Lighting Fixtures or for Engineered Floors. A manufacturer must have a downloadable 3d model in order for you to import it into Chief. Neither of these manufacturers appears to offer 3d models of their products. If a manufacturer does have 3d models you can import the items one at a time into your User Library in Chief. (see attached screenshot) If you want a manufacturer to collaborate with Chief and include their products in a catalog in Chief, you can go directly to your rep and to the manufacturer and make a request. There are several permanent threads in the Symbols and Content forum that discuss how to approach a manufacturer. Hope this helps.
  4. Depends on what the client needs for storage. Sometimes a corner is the only place available in a kitchen layout to store odd sizes of small appliances that are too tall or large for a drawer. I agree with you the (2) 18" cabinet drawers provide a lot of storage and there is a lot of wasted space with the LeMans, but the Lazy Susan (who the heck named that cabinet anyway?!) can be very useful in certain situations...

  5. Try moving this question to the Q&A Forum and you'll have better luck finding someone to help you.
  6. You're welcome, but apologies, I should have looked more closely before offering up that solution to see that the Merrillat corner is doing the same thing. Now that I think about it I'm guessing that their corner cabinet filler was created the same way you created yours. Anyway, thank you for submitting this as a bug.
  7. Molly, I also think this particular case is a bug. You can submit it to Chief. Go to Chiefarchitect.com / my account / technical support / new case (and submit your zipped file there.) Another suggestion for placing a corner filler: Select a corner filler out of one of the manufacturer's cabinet catalogs. I found one by searching in the library search bar for "corner filler". Merrillat has one in their catalog but it needs a few adjustments. You'll need to set the toe kick depth to match yours and you'll need to remove the backsplash and adjust the countertop overhang. Then place in plan in between your 2 base cabinets. Now you have a corner filler that will show up on your schedule. Lastly, have you considered not using a dead corner and instead using a Lemans corner or a lazy Susan cabinet to capture all of that space? Just a thought. Susan
  8. Just wondering if anyone is using VR goggles with clients to allow them to walk through their project?
  9. Molly, Can you post your plan as well, or even just a jpg of the plan so we can see exactly what you have going on in the corner? Thanks, Susan
  10. Hopefully this solved the problem for you!
  11. Have you built a roof over this house?
  12. Chief offers personal training on any topic you need help with. I've used this a number of times and it is very helpful. Scroll down to "Peronal Training" on this link: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/training/
  13. Hi Chief Mindy, Try posting this question in the Q&A forum to get more responses because there is more than one way to accomplish what you are after. The way I would tackle this: Open elevation of your cabinet run. Draw a line along the cabinet run. Convert the line to a polyline and turn it into a piece of molding. You can select a base molding profile with a slope and you can adjust the height and thickness. Adjust the height of the molding in the room so the molding is sitting on your countertop. Change the material of the molding to match the countertop. Susan
  14. Your signature doesn't say if you are on a PC or a Mac, but have you updated your video card drivers recently?
