Joe_Carrick Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Attached is a Linear Fireplace Symbol that automatically inserts into a wall (requires Chief version X10). I used the Napoleon LDH62 model and set the bottom to +32". Once inserted, it can be repositioned and/or resized as needed. If you want to change the manufacturer or model number you can do that in the OIP (Object Information Panel) This particular fireplace is 62" wide x 18" tall x 22" deep. If resized, the frame will not stretch, only the overall size. Linear Fireplace - Napoleon LHD62.calibz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Here's another. This one is base on the Superior DRL4543 See-Thru. It's 48" wide x 18" tall x 17" deep. It inserts in a 16-3/4" thick wall. Linear Fireplace - See-thru.calibz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks Joe , appreciate it , lets hope Napolean will come to the party and make a Full Library at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 One thing to be aware of: The actual fireplaces are actually bigger in length and height than these symbols. I had to limit the symbols to the "frame" so that the hole in the wall would be properly sized. The new "Inserts in Wall" feature in X10 doesn't provide for the hole to be different than the width and height of the symbol. This is something that CA should provide so the symbols could be more accurate, accounting for the real size of an object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ability to insert symbols into walls comes with a "Wall Cutout Polyline" for those symbols which should give you exactly what you are looking for. A little off subject, but I posted a tip regarding that new feature here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I've found to change the cutout size is to change the size of the Bounding Box but that doesn't change the shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to select the object in 3D in order for that particular edit tool to become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Was that available in Beta? I had requested that ability but wasn't aware it was available. btw, editing the bounding box and the 3d origin values provides a very accurate rectangular wall cutout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird behavior, I am on a mac X10 is not updating the File Associations when upgrading from X9 , at least I have seen a number of reports now and explains why th eLibraries I posted didn't import properly into X10 either I believe. I posted a fix for Windows Users , perhaps you can add a Link for Mac Users to this Thread too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
