You could create a new master list or uncheck "Use" for the unwanted materials.

Are you using the macro (=thermal_envelope_area) as an accessory wall component? Does that work for any walls? That macro (added as a wall component) doesn't actually produce any data in the component tab when I give it a try. I'm sure you are aware, but you can export the thermal envelope area separately.

For some (if not all) objects, there is no easy way to transfer information from the Components tab to another similar object in the plan. Likewise, for some (but not all) types of objects, information entered into the Object Information Panel of a library object will be lost when placing the object into the plan.

In X14 this function is broken.

Type 'scale' into the library browser.

You can make a copy of the cabinet door symbol and then adjust the size and stretch planes. Although the door has an edge profile and your end panel does not.

Select View / Project Browser / Schedules... then delete one of the duplicates.

Ditto, room divider, uncheck railing.

In this app, which I've never used before, you can isolate various components:

Take a look at the difference here using a free 3d online viewer and a 3ds export:

Scott, the 3d viewer does have terrible viewing quality and there's really no way around this. For better viewing quality you would be better off using an orbital walkthrough video (or similar) and then sharing the link.

Gene, it looks like you may have overlooked posting the plan.

If you build this in Chief, there's no need to make different materials. And the only thing you need to 'build' is a custom cabinet door. In the example below I made this door using 2 different objects, replicated. 3d solids for the stiles and panel, 3d molding for the rails. Woodgrain textures that are vertical always show the right way on moldings! Convert to cabinet door symbol and apply to a full height cabinet.

Can you post your sketchup file?

In Chief, you could try 1 of 2 things (that I know of): place a manual backdrop using a 3d solid or molding and paint it using a material created from your desired backdrop OR create a new copy of that backdrop using a different size image (lower overall pixel width). Both will probably require a bit of trial and error.

A few suggestions to start: Save the camera. Lower the exposure to 0.30. Increase sunlight to one of the dropdown options. Increase backdrop intensity to a value between 500 and 5000. Post the plan.

You can save a terrain perimeter in your template plan. But no, there is no setting for a 'default' elevation for the terrain perimeter.

double click the 3d Solid icon and check its assigned default layer. You may have changed that at some point.

Scott, notice that this method will force build a double newel post at the wall break location. You may be able to remove those in the Rail Style tab for Start/End Posts.

Yup, that's what I would've done too. Then you're always seeing an end in section views.

It's just the automatic attic wall. You can change the wall type or make it invisible.

Symbols don't generate cross section lines. It does generate clean cad lines though when you create a cad detail from view...

Symbols don't generate cross section lines. They will generate edge lines in section view depending on the symbol settings like smoothing angle for example..

Well that's anti-climactic. Glad you got it sorted!

The number of the item is sort of like secondary information, it isn't info. from the object, but from the schedule (about the object).
