I got the off-angle wall-connect blues and can't shake them.
robdyck replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
Fix this wall! It has No Room Def. checked and is an Attic Wall. -

robdyck replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
Sorry Gene, but Chief isn't the problem in this case. It appears that you simply haven't planned out the geometry and this looks as though you're just winging it, trying to draw walls at random angles in hoping that it creates your desired appearance. You need to plan the geometry with some sort of logic and then build the model using the geometry for reference. Plan the overall shape of the arc, figure out the desired # of segments and then use the transform/replicate tool to copy / rotate the objects about the center point. In this case, I cleaned up the geometry to an overall 45 degree segment made up of 6 @ 7.5 degrees. I drew a cad polyline for the overall segment, cad lines for the dividing segments, and one cad line to help align the first wall segment. I then copied the railing wall as noted above. I used 1 room divider at the right end to help control the railing-to-wall connection. -
There is a Components Tab for objects only, not for materials. Simply double click on almost any object and review the tabs on the left side of the dialog.

Possible to Export a CA Rendering Technique to Twinmotion?
robdyck replied to DynamicDG's topic in General Q & A
No. Twinmotion has its own rendering techniques. -
Line Weight Changes Not Showing Up in Elevation View
robdyck replied to Renerabbitt's topic in General Q & A
I don't remember if it's always been this way, but it certainly has for some time. Line weight do not display correctly in the Vector View technique used for elevation / section views. They display correctly in layout, but not in the native view. In the image below, I've shown 4 example with line weights turned on. I've added CAD lines in red that match the line weights for the material pattern, the Walls Normal layer, Walls Foundation layer and Terrain Perimeter layer. The CAD lines display correctly, the model does not. -
Have you tried using the cabinet tools? Why not post a pic or sketch of what you have in mind?
-
All good over here as well.
-
The Raise Off Plate dimension should = desired vertical height at baseline - Vertical Structure Depth. Chief should then auto-build framing for the attic walls and leave the wall top plates at the default height. You should also have "Trusses" checked in the Build Roof dialog.
-
To expand, it is important to note that creating a copy of an existing layer will keep all the initial properties of the copied layer. In other words, to move interior walls to a new layer, do not create a new layer. Rather, make a copy of the layer Walls, Normal and rename it Walls, Interior (or whatever you'd like).
-
Does a 3d tour made up of interior 360 images work for you or do you specifically want to navigate through the model? I can't see how you could move through a chief model using RTRT. I don't think you can even record a walkthrough using RTRT, which, if true, is a major drawback. https://kuula.co/share/collection/79vqh?logo=1&info=1&fs=1&vr=0&autorotate=0.24&thumbs=1

900 series aluminum railings for chief architect
robdyck replied to GP202256's topic in General Q & A
It wouldn't be the worst idea to spend a few more seconds being a bit more precise with your question. Are you referring to this? https://shop.wagnercompanies.com/pre-assembled-railings/aluminum-heavy-duty-railing -
The next step would be further adjustments to the light data for various fixtures and added lights.
-
Depending on what you need to show, it's a good idea to have a light set for each camera.
-
For Camera 4: turn on the layer for interior lights. Adjust the automatic light count to something high, like 200. Even better, create a light set for that camera and turn on all lights and set them all to cast shadows.
-
You could give something like this a try. I used 2 doors, 2 different width. They overlap by 5/8" in plan view. Then I modified a door symbol's stretch plane. Do not mull them.
-
All you should need is a light source that is on in that view and shadows toggled on.
-
Short Answer...No. The callout is the camera. However you can place an actual callout and link it to the camera view. This will require some customization of layers and their display. In other words, you'll need to place the camera for which you'd like a substituted callout on a separate layer that won't display in plan view.
-
You wouldn't have to change the name, it has no structural effect.. But it might be a good idea to rename the detached garage to something like..."Detached Garage". Then when people are discussing your plans, everyone will be able to know what the other person is referring to...as long as you can find people who are clever enough to refer to a room by it's actual name.
-
Well, it was worth a shot! What I described did fix my side window re-sizing issue but mine was different than yours. Hopefully TS can solve it for you.
-
Try this: turn on the display of the Walkthrough Preview. Move it to a secondary monitor so it is completely undocked from Chief. Adjust side windows as desired. Close the Walkthrough Preview. Close Chief. Open Chief and review position of side windows.

What is the setting to suppress patterns when in vector view
robdyck replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
3d Pattern Tip: The toggle tool is not available for every rendering technique, however the layer display of "Patterns, 3D Views" will work for other rendering techniques. Just remember to press 'F12' after toggling the display of this layer. Curtesy of @Alaskan_Son -
