Try moving this question to the Q&A Forum and you'll have better luck finding someone to help you.

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.

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

Just wondering if anyone is using VR goggles with clients to allow them to walk through their project?

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

@CADustin Thank you for all the updates!

Hopefully this solved the problem for you!

Have you built a roof over this house?

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/

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

Your signature doesn't say if you are on a PC or a Mac, but have you updated your video card drivers recently?

These videos might help. Good introduction on how to use the GPU raytracing and they discuss the differences between CPU and GPU raytracing. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1970/ray-tracing-an-introduction.html

Your signature doesn't mention if you are on a PC or a Mac, but this is how I find archived files: Open the Documents folder on your computer. Click on X16 Data Click on Archives Then you will be able to see backup copies of files you've been working on. Good luck!

Hi Eliot, Clicking on this photo of blue hex tile will also take you to where you need to go for more info about the Substance Player. Be sure to watch the videos in the link - they are very helpful. In this link you'll see 3 videos listed and after the last one you'll see Substance Player (Download) and then Chief_Architect_Tile_Builder.sbsar. Those are the two things you need to get started. See my attached screen shot so you know what you're looking for. Susan

Yes, that is very odd that the glass is frosted in PBR. I tried removing your window and replacing it with another window and everything worked just fine. Have you tried removing that window and replacing it with a new window?

I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on your exact specs, but I've always found these 2 links to be really good resources for computer requirements: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/sysreq.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/blog/computer-for-design-and-gaming/

Elliot, Have you tried the Substance Player for creating custom tile? It's an amazing tool that allows you to create custom tile and I've used it quite a bit. For example, I'm currently working on a bathroom that needs a 12x24 or 18x36 tile set in a herringbone pattern. I used the Substance Player to create a tile that I was able to size up to that large format while keeping the grout lines in proportion and I was able to get the color I wanted for both the tile and the grout.

I'm playing with AI for brainstorming purposes within our firm only - not showing those results to clients. As for renders, I don't charge independently for them, that is wrapped up in the cost of developing the design and the construction documents. The renders are what sell the job for us.

Wow! This could be very helpful for brainstorming ideas. May I ask which AI program you used?

If that is the one out of Chief's library, try typing in -45 for the angle. For some reason it needs to be a negative number to get it to turn.

There is a Knowledge Base on Chiefarchitect.com, located under the tab labeled Support. Just type a question into the search bar and all of the info in articles, videos, chieftalk discussions will come up for you. Here is one of the articles. There are also a number of discussions on ChiefTalk about this subject. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00013/converting-plan-files-to-dwg-or-dxf.html

That’s a great solution!

Thank you for sharing! I generally do a Current Screen as Image, but I am experimenting with the other two options. I'm working on a large project with many PBR views and trying to update the PBR views and resend them to layout every time someone makes a change to the design is making me rethink my process.

I've always found this video on Material Properties to be easy to understand and a good overview. "Emissivity" is discussed at the 11:59 mark in the video. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10210/material-properties-how-to-import-set-the-pattern-visualize-in-3d.html

Just curious how other users send PBRs to layout. Current Screen: Update on Demand Current Screen: Update Always Current Screen as Image Thanks!
