imagekit Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 yes i am new.i am getting frustrated. i am in australia and not having the ability to pick up the phone and ask a question or knowing anybody using chief is making it hard to learn.Couple this with the fact that i have never used a cad package,limited computer knowlege, and 3 homes to design sitting on my desk . 1st from what have been able to produce so far the system is very good. can i come onto this forum and ask lots of questions? can you tell me how to recess a wall cb into the wall for a shaving cb? can you tell me how to send / email pictures to clients? can you tell me how to put logo and info on layout page? or if you know of a video a link. i have searched. thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 sure that's why the forum is here ...end users helping end users...mostly and you aint the only Aussie here .... Use a wall cabinet set to 85mm deep ( little shallower than stud) and insert into the wall by holding the control key down as you drag it into postion / thru the wall/gib. most save views to PDF and send to clients that way or use the File>export>picture to save and send jpeg files. import the jpeg of your Logo as an image I think and paste into the layout sheet. there is a user group in Melbourne, not sure about other areas https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/forum/14-local-user-groups/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Kbird1 Posted August 18, 2014 Solution Share Posted August 18, 2014 you would need to use a few CAD lines to show the recess I believe. if you send to layout you can scale it , then print to PDF , X6 has inbuilt PDF ,X5 use a PDF print driver like PDF995. for fast easy views for clients you can just export a jpeg , ( same as if you were there with a camera ) and send them, just make the window show what you want , zoom in out etc then snap a pic ( file>export>picture>jpeg.) and email it to the client.
