  1. Draw them as they would be built - likely a perimeter created by typical stud walls.
  2. If the complexity got to that point I'd likely model it with psolids.
  3. What about using a ventless condensing dryer?
  4. Scroll bars are present on my screen. Not sure how you might have disabled them. I can't find a setting...?
  5. Zero out the Gable Fascia on the Structure Tab Create the gable trim with a shadow board specified as "Gable Only" Barge Boards.plan
  6. Open the stair dialog box, click "Make Best Fit"
  7. Line type is an option on the plan display tab of the cross section dialog box.
  8. Thanks Eric, This just began showing up in a few of my plans. It might be a known issue, but it was new to me. Glad you knew the fix. K
  9. I'm guessing it is exactly what the warning is telling you - too many characters or invalid characters in the name. Try saving it with a different name.
  10. Copy and paste your edited schedule in to the new plan.

  15. Love the atmosphere in that rendering Johnny. (And the design looks great as well.)
  16. Graham - nice work Your materials look great!
  17. A beam extending from the valley is not an issue, how it looks on the other hand...
  18. Jintu, This was done in X-9. (Looks like I need to update my signature.) I've noticed the line-weight in the exported seems to be a function of both Chief settings and monitor resolution.
  19. Here are a couple images of the way I am currently presenting sketchy renderings. I export a "Standard" view and a "Line Drawing" from the same camera position and at the same size. I open the standard view in Gimp then add import the Line drawing as an layer and adjust the transparency.
  20. Here are some renders I put together for the realtor to put together a website for this mixed use building I designed. All done in CA.
  21. I knew that house was in Vermont before I saw the license plate on the car in the driveway. In fact I an architect I used to work for in Western Massachusetts called that a "Vermont window." (Though we have our share of windows installed that way in Maine too.)
  22. I've found a custom counter top and p-solid sides to be the best solution.
