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.
-
I dont know if this helps but its all starting to make sense on my end - but i think your template has an issue.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Trying to force myself to use Annosets more often and sometimes it just doesn't make any sense (to me at least). Here I believe my settings are correct on where text will show up, but surprised to see that isn't the case.
-
You can create them the same way you do a custom mill-work piece from what i've seen. However, did you see the SSA library where you can download more pre-made?
-
I too think the macro tip is great. Id just say though I do think Chief should have a dedicated keynote tool - and since we can kinda get one 1/2 way now with cheating the app and using plant schedules, it should be super easy for Chief to at least just give us a general schedule out of the box.
-
Doug, I'm lost...i've never heard of the type of plan you're suggesting. If a contractor asked me to provide "flat projections" i would take that to mean basically like a truss diagram except for rafters. Something kinda like below but for every "rafter" segment just like a truss package would include. I have had framers ask for this before. I can't see how what you are describing would help them. Something like this at every rafter - depending on roof complexity - would.
-
Hopefully that does't mean Ebay, otherwise there is a good chance you have a pirated copy. You may want to check with Chief.
-
Thanks guys. So if I had a fav object like wall type I could use a button to quickly access that.
-
Is it possible to make a custom button to turn a certain layer on/off or set of layers? Or for that matter, can you make a button to change layersets and annosets? I've seen some people with custom buttons and don't fully understand the limitations of those.
-
I do too!
-
I think what you are asking is after you have your rooms made and different elevation data can you then make them into specific stories/floors...? You can't do that the way it sounds like you are asking thru simple designation. However, you can copy walls that form rooms and then paste in place on new floors. You'll get to roughly the same place but you will need to readjust your elevation data.
-
There are actually a few other issues with the rendering style regardless of the "artsy" lines. If you notice windows or door glass that have other windows or door glass behind them don't allow for "opaque" settings (as David mentions too). Couple other things wrong, but i was told by support they would be fixed in X10.
-
There is nothing in the library that is plug and play for a paneled wall like this. I think you could do this with cabinets as well....
-
You must start with the uppermost level first and work your way downward in setting floor levels. This is the way Chief needs it to be apparently. So if you want to change your lower floor level you have to change the upper floor. If you search on the forum there are some good vids....look for Scott Hall vids. He has a YouTube channel too.
