No, it can't be done automatically. You have a few options to experiment with, all are best handled in elevation view. I'll list some options in no particular order: Use a material region to add the finish layers to the foundation wall. This will cut around windows automatically and is very quick to use. Use a 3d solid, not as flexible as a material region, but it has some similarities. Split the foundation into a pony wall and manually adjust the connection in elevation view. I wouldn't use a pony wall unless the actual wall structure is different.

Create separate schedules for floor framing?
robdyck replied to plannedRITE's topic in General Q & A
Well, I think so...if you post your plan file or send me a PM with a dropbox / google drive link to download your plan file, I'll take a look and see how I can help. -
Create separate schedules for floor framing?
robdyck replied to plannedRITE's topic in General Q & A
I'm not seeing that behavior. This likely means you've used a rim joist for a joist, or your schedule doesn't include the appropriate categories to differentiate. -
Landings do not frame. You have 2 options; manually create the framing or replace the landings with a floor (surrounded by walls / invisible walls). When I need to show landing framing, I create it manually.

You can purge several types of items; CAD blocks, Materials, Wall Types, Line Styles. Those are the items that come to mind. Were you aware of these functions already?

Perhaps one of the best things about Google Meet is how simple it is to start and join a meeting, plus the ability to join with multiple devices. This is especially handy if you have a laptop or tablet as well as your desktop running during a meeting. By comparison, I despise Zoom.

All the window panes are intact...shouldn't some be broken and others very dirty?! Just kidding of course, what you've done with that image is pretty amazing!

I've often wondered if this could also be applied to landscape rock or mulch (as an example). Sometimes it's the 'hard' edges that reduce Chief's flexibility and realism.

For a higher resolution image, what you need to adjust is the actual size of the picture. It's worth keeping mind the needs of your client and the type of device the media is being produced for. For images viewed on a phone, a 2k image will look great. But on a TV or large monitor, a 4k or 8k image will look much better. Here's a quick note on image dimensions (in pixels). 2K: 2048 x 1080 pixels; 4K or Ultra HD: 3840 x 2160 pixels; 8K: 7680 x 4320 pixels; 10K: 10240 x 4320 pixels. So, when producing an image in Chief, you can adjust the image dimensions to produce higher quality renders. The bigger you go, the longer it will take. Experiment by increasing the Export Picture Width. Try an image at 2048, then 7680 and then examine the rendered image and the difference will be noticeable. For very quick images, just use the Active Window Size. And always export as a jpg or the file size will get ridiculously high.

This gallery demonstrates the reflective glass changing in relation to a standard backdrop.

Been experimenting with some new glass textures for more realistic reflections...real window glass ain't flat!
