That was established a while ago when I noted the layer being the issue and not the DBX. Figured you'd get around to seeing that.

Not the same as I replaced opened the original in 13 and replaced it here. Left side shows what you show which is not what was asked for. What are the several ways?

I'd really like to see that. Why don't you post one that works using the standard base cabinet layer so we can all learn.

Only difference I found was place on secondary layer with blank lines. Had already matched all of the setting in DBX

At one point was fiddling with a separate layer trying to get fill on the doors. Wonder if I left it there. That could do it.

Interesting, now do it from scratch

@genedavis Just talking with knird and found can't make it in X13 but the one made in X12 comes over properly

Edit replaced file with same in X13, one as asked and one not. X13 Filler.plan

Try hitting the tab key after starting to drag something. There is also reflect, center, transform replicate, multiple copy, copy paste with secondary functions ( Reflect, center, Pt to PT) , and you while I keep grid snaps OFF all the time I do set the grid snap distance. That setting is then used when moving an objet with the arrow keys when moving something with- for instance doing lots of wall work I set it to 1/2" (the thickness of sheetrock}

Macro pasted into a text box needs to have % at beginning and end so that Chief knows what it is. There may be exceptions I don't know about but this works for what you are after. %$floorarea="\n"% %$temp=owner.internal_area.to_sq_m.round(2)% %$floorarea= $floorarea+ $temp.to_s+" M2"% And Yes, you can get decent precision out of Chief. I keep grid snaps OFF for that, I'm in Imperial so would need decimal. Even with Grid Snaps off things often will snap at 1/32 or 1/16 inch when dragging to resize which can be annoying. I've done work at 1/32 imperial without a problem

Plan views and camera views are very similar in how they work and what they save. Just plan views save defaults as well.

I'd use cabinets to make both. Search forum for stuff I posted on making cabinet doors in Tips or Symbols.

I've had issues with Logitech software with Chief and other 3D programs in the past. I would be able to fix it by rolling back to an earlier version of the Logitech software. Might be worth a shot and/or test completely removing it temporarily to see if the standard OS drivers solve it. (Same for Synaptics). Another thing I'd try if connected by a dongle would be to move the dongle to another usb port. My number pad works better on usb 3 ports despite the dongle being usb 2. Finally if hardwire is an option I'd try that too. Maybe none of the above but any work it might help narrowing down the issue.

Saved camera will remember the placement, rendering type and settings, light set, sun, backdrop, location of camera, zoom and angle. It will also remember what layerset is used. IT will not change what the layerset shows. IF you turn off furniture for "camera view set" then open another camera that uses the camera view set the furniture will be off because it is off in that layerset. IF you want to have a camera that shows furniture and another that does not they need to have different layersets. So instead of just turning the furniture off in the "camera view set" copy the set, name it something like "camera_no_furniture" and use that layerset in the camera view.

A bit more awake now. Changed default lights to 100, set to kitchen light set, trimmed off portion of rope light not in view. Adjusted sun down even more than above, experimented with sun OFF. Ambient set to around 35 instead of 0. So that gets the rope lights to show. While at it merged plan material "lighting white" then replaced with library version having better emissive so you can see it. Here is what rope lights look like with invisible wall between kitchen and living room. Here is after removing invisible wall, Note that the light is hidden behind the pot hanger even though you can now see the rope light since it is emissive.

I set the default light set to 100 lights, then went back to the kitchen light set and made sure things needed were on. Still no rope lights in kitchen but better, did show up in the living room though. Deleted invisible wall between kitchen and living room. Sometimes these cause trouble and with the warning message for the ceiling it's possible but that didn't solve it. The biggest issue was - Decided to split up the rope light as it listed 400 some odd lights. Took a bit to manage to select it as no plan views saved but finally got hold of it and deleted sections not in the view. Also set spacing between lights to 6" and slightly increased the lumens (35? 50?) If I were doing this from scratch I'd place the rope lights in sections to begin with so a light set without a gazillion lights on could be used per room. I often turn these into spots before final size and placement when using under cabinet but test for this situation. Tend to be easier to control and use less resource. Anyway that got the lights on but they are too bright. Need to find a balance between what they are now and getting overblown by the ceiling spots. Changed the material on the fridge since it bothered me. Just used one from the bonus metal materials instead of core. Also purged materials since they were a mess. Might want to increase emissiveness of lighting white. 'I tried to strip it down to a manageable size to post but broke the ceilings and didn't get small enough.

I haven't gotten many, maybe none, sudden closes without error message. I have managed to occasionally get a lock up both with and without error message occasionally. Most of the time it happens when adjusting materials in a 3D view when there is also an elevation open. Have any of you checked system temperatures? Might be worth a look.

After getting the list in html I select all, copy, and paste special into a spreadsheet. Then sort by hotkey. Also add a sheet for "most used" and another to place in groups. I paste links to the original sheet for the command and hotkey so that they all update. In Windows (don't know about Mac since this did not work way back when I had to work on one), once done create a shortcut to the file on the desktop. Open the shortcut and make the shortcut key "ctrl + Alt + "some letter or number" I use 2 -not you only type in the letter or number, ctrl alt is automatic. As long as that is on the desktop or in a folder in the start menu the hotkey will work. Advanced- I have a folder with subfolders in the start menu. One subfolder is called Shorts. I keep all the shortcuts with hotkeys there to avoid creating conflicts. This makes it easy to bring up a list of all the hotkeys when you forget what you need, or check one of the extra sheets for special ones you don't use often, and or take a screen grab (mine are set to always on top) for reference or printing a short list.

Have had this happen occasionally when moving window between monitors with different resolutions. Most often when dragging between. It has always resolved either by closing and restarting Chief of occasionally rebooting Windows. Not sure what the answer for you. I have no idea what OS or GPU you have?? In windows I'd start with Display settings, maybe device manager, If NVidia I'd look at the control pane, other OS or GPU I wouldn't even guess

With that DBX open press F1 and you will see a section that includes this. Select the hyperlink Plot Line Views and see this... So the answer is switch your view type first.

For Gable ends as you describe decrease the countertop overhang by the amount you increase the depth of the cabinet (left hand version) Right had version is similar but a little trickier. If using a 1/16" reveal the counter overhang will not be drawn even with a custom counter. To get an overhang at the wall it has to be at least an 1/8". I also had an incorrect height on the right hand one (sorry in process of redoing all my library cabinets and had thrown them away ) Revised plan attached. Yes I noted - "in rare cases", doubt I've needed it 2 dozen times in 20 years as a full time KD. Of course YMMV. Flush Side Panel EZ_X12.zip

To clarify the behavior is correct for panels placed on the front of a run and for filler overlays, just not side panels. Then again Filler Overlays need a solution similar to the above to get into the schedule properly when those need to be a line item. I don't see a reason to have them go to the trouble to program for both/either/user input when there are workable solutions.'

You can also use the wall specification but beware it will only remove ALL the moldings for the side of wall selected. Kevin's suggestion gives more control allowing you to remove specific moldings..

Attached is plan that has the ez way to add side panels to cabinets that will dimension properly. Don't float a door, configure a cabinet to do what you need. These are configured for 1/16" reveal, make changes to match if different and save them to library. Be sure to set the Accessories/Panels to match your default door and these will comply. The one on the left just gets placed but is set to NOT include that in the schedule. Side panels are considered a modification in most brands. (already have to add mods in a custom OIP field so no big deal) The one on the right would be used if you need to order it loose as a door applied in the field. Then you want it in a schedule and want the size to read correctly. That one needs to be moved out from the wall by the size of reveal used, in this case 1/16", after placement. You can also resize these to function as gable ends that align with the doors when placed on the side of a cabinet, typical in frameless cabinets. This will match what is supplied by 99% of cabinet mfg. In the very rare cases we needed panels bumped out to align with a run of doors they were usually ordered as loose doors and that was a field install (naturally with full custom we could request that done by the maker instead.) I don't personally care if it is changed in Chief but I agree with Mick, it's wrong. Flush Side Panel EZ_X12.zip

Copy a door symbol to library, rename so you know it's for side panel, offset the Y origin 1/16" Use that for "Accessories, Panels" in your default. Alas will have to change all of your existing.
