  1. Wow Dennis, Thank you! That looks great! I have always wanted to use a third party software to enhance my renderings, just never took the leap.
  2. Hey Shane. I do only use chief. I fact, I don't even like to import things from outside of chief to use in my plans other than art and a few materials. In the past my plan would begin to lag and become glitchy because I would bring in 3D symbols from 3D warehouse. I'm an impatient man, so that didn't work for me. Lol but Chief has some great libraries.
  3. Dennis and Scott, I let them cook for about 30 minutes which was about 10 passes for each one. I didn't use bump map because I'm not sure what to set the height multiplier to... what do you guys set it to for carpet and hardwood? Thank you for the kind words and criticism. Both are appreciated.
  4. Well, here is a few renders of a plan I did for a client.
  5. I'm shopping around for training. I need help with foundations, a little touching up on Roofs. I know nothing about terrain other then how to place it, and I'd like to learn about construction document. Basically I'd like to start a plan from square one all the way to construction documents. I'm free Fri, Sat, and Sun. evenings. I live in Fort Wayne, IN but can't seem to find anyone here that uses Chief. If you can help, please contact me at RJDDesignConcepts@gmail.com with pricing and what you normally do. I will provide the plan we can work on, and I can get that to you ahead of time so you can get familiar with it. Maybe we could go over rendering and different ways to dress up my elevations for some WOW factor. Thank you in advance!
  6. This is how we measure our Living Areas. I stopped using Chief's because of the wonky numbers I was getting... example.plan
  7. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? My basement ceiling height is supposed to be at 109" and my garage slab is supposed to be 24" below the sub floor. There are not supposed to be concrete walls on the sides of my garage like there are now (See Attached Picture) My garage ceiling height is supposed to be at 121" What settings did I fudge up? This is why I need training on foundations. I never use the "Automatic Tools" Like Roofs or Foundations. Thank you! Felix Quist Lot 59 HPE.plan
  8. Sweet! Thank you. I have all the files, but the little icon in the right hand side of my screen says "Okay, notify me when it's ready" Grr! I want Windows 10 Now. Absolutely HATE windows 8.
  9. Alan, does it delete all of your files when it installs, or does it just leave them alone?
  10. Roz, maybe post your plan. The image is coming up very tiny. You'll probably get an answer very quick! Good Luck!
  11. I believe the gentleman's plan you posted does do training... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/2967-chief-training/ Maybe he could teach you how he puts his layouts together.
  12. Hey Mick, I've created a Facebook page for my design business, and I wanted to put a few floor plans on the page. Mark. I'm going to give your idea a try.
  13. I need a bigger size. I need it to be readable on Facebook. It gets very pixelated when I upload it.
  14. How do I export my floor plan as a high quality picture to put onto Facebook? I want to export this screen... When I click "Export" and then select "Export Picture" This dialogue box pops up... and it doesn't give me the option to make the photo a higher quality... What the heck am I doing wrong?
  15. I haven't built my foundations yet. Foundations are actually something that gives me headache! I need to learn a little more about them. I followed Larry's video and achieved what I wanted. Thank you guys for taking time out of your day to help me.
  16. I grabbed the Attic wall and drug it down. That problem is fixed Also attached is that wall area where the roof needs fixed. This is how he builds it. I just use a p-solid to cover that mess up. I assume when you say the roof needs fixed, you're referring to the fact that that area is a water trap right?
  17. Why am I getting drywall showing through instead of siding in these areas? I know it's probably something simple that I'm missing. It's been a long day! 3 Car Spec.plan
  18. I kind of gave it a whack. I didn't spend time getting it perfect (You'll notice some water traps in the roof near the porch) But I was trying to get you close to what you wanted. Hope this helps a little. Genesis Roof Edit.plan
  19. Bill, post the plan and you'll have your answer in no time!
  20. Maybe I misunderstood your post... Are you talking about in the layout, or while in a camera view?
  21. Do you have the paint roller selected while applying materials onto objects in your plan?
  22. Is this what you are going for? If not send me a private message and I can work with you to get you what you want. Final House Roof Edit.plan
