    If you select the room Dbx you can go to "moldings" and then uncheck default to then delete the base. However, fair warning most homes have some sort of base.

    good thread. One question I have is are the trees for 3-D or 2-D? I cannot find 2-D sketch like trees in the library. Suppose it really wouldn’t be hard to make them ourselves.

    As others have said about actual stud height.....but the reason is framing should be in rough dimensions and once you add Sheetrock lid and flooring you should be at (or close) to 8’/9’ fin. dimensions.

    Is there supposed to be about a foot difference in actual elevation of your fin floor? When I open the file, frame whats there and cut a section it appears as if there is about a foot difference in fin. floor elevation (see attached). Also, since the joists are "dropped" its trying to match the top of stem wall with the top of fin. floor so your joists "plane" together. I'm not a Chief guru but I believe this could have something to do with the issue...

    I really think the key is the fact one of the room is being framed with i-joists (sunken).

    Thanks guys. It just sparked my interest when I read that.

    REALLY???? So Chief used to be able to Link from other files entire floors?? Wow, I really wish it still allowed that type of thing. Not saying as the only means to do 2+ floors but rather we do a lot of projects which have different options on floors and that would be perfect.

    Thanks guys!

    If anyone likes a trend of modern farmhouses and barns this is a project for a young bull-rider who's been winning and winning - but wanted something small, modern, and yet something that held to his roots of "farm" living. Designed in Chief but rendered in Lumion.

    I had used a 3D modeling line in floor plan view and i was very surprised there wasn't a 2D representation of the width like there is for a normal modeling line. Since i was lining up a barn door hinge, using the 3D modeling line as the tract, it was a lot more difficult doing the alignment with no point of reference on the thickness. Just struck me as very odd...perhaps a bug even?
  11. johnny
    Do 3D modeling lines really not have a visual on the floor plan like normal modeling lines?... why is that?

    I sent you a copy of the file if you wanted to see.
  13. johnny
    Thanks - that worked and got me by but I'll report the issue too.

    The Bella Drawer is from the Medallion cabinet collection that Chief supplies....

    I'm using some Chief bonus lib pulls but i dont see an obvious location to change the "depth" from the drawer and door. Chief is placing them "in" the door/drawer. I see where to change other locations of these pulls but nothing for depth. I have to be missing something.

    Here is what I mean.

    Larry, looking at your file - here are different levels and types of flooring. Are the finish floors supposed to be different? Also, some of the crawl has framed floor so what Chief is trying to do - i think - is keep the fin floor the same - so the stem would need to be about a foot taller to get that done.

    I agree 100%....makes it too confusing.
  19. johnny
    I dont know if this helps but its all starting to make sense on my end - but i think your template has an issue.
  20. johnny
    Hey Larry - I found the location of that default but as you will see in the video its still not 100% correct in the measurement.
  21. johnny
    These are 2 examples of using the simple room fills - not solid color fills for the flooring but i personally like this better (preference). The first one is directly out of Chief and the second one is some editing in Illustrator.

    Nice work Graham.

    Im a bit surprised you found an awning of that size that works - but good if you did. However, id really learn to make a custom roof plane if i was you, since that is really an important thing to know. If you have a current lic of SSA here is a link to an important video: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5447/roof-basics.html

    Please keep in mind that to do something which will have the true 3d relief its going to take some extra work. There was a recent thread on this on the forums you should look at.

    Thank you! Lots of drill down options to set it appears.
