WhistlerBuilder Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello helpful forum people, I am looking to produce a plan set for marketing purposes. The realtors selling one of my current projects are asking for the plans to show the flooring materials in each room. I am unsure how to do this in Chief. Can chief even do this? I have done it with other software, but can't seem to figure out the chief method. I really do not want to manually do this in Photoshop. Any hints or tips welcome. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes there is a thread about this, using the perspective floor overview camera top view is what you are after I think. Sorry Orthographic floor overview will work better to keep things square and true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 In the Default Room Label add %room.floor.finish.name% or enter that in a text box and place the text box in the room. btw, that's just one of the "Global>Room Info" macros that Chief provides which can be inserted in the Default Room Label or in a Text Box that can be located in the rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Joe, I am assuming that the OP wants to graphically see the materials in a floor plan view. I don't think he wants the materials notated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenmarsch Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Joe, Can you explain the Room Fill and Material Regions Fill Patterns? Step by step? I do a lot of Floor Finish plans to show direction and pattern of material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 A process for this is covered in this Knowledge base article: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01142/creating-an-image-for-use-in-a-brochure-or-on-a-website.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMaddox Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks Kirk, that works like a charm (with a little fiddling)!! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
