3D Viewer - Materials not showing

Recommended Posts

I am using Chief Architect Premier x9

 

I have exported my chief file to a 3D viewer file so a client can look at it.

When I went to open the file though, most materials are not there for example the siding is just shown as one solid colour vs a horizontal pattern.

 

thanks in advance.

Does it show correctly in standard and vector views in your chief plan file?  Which rendering mode are they using in the 3d viewer?  Any pics may help.

In the side bar on the left, go to the Rendering Techniques option and try switching between the Basic and Standard options.

Also if the app detects that the model is significantly large or that the device you are trying to view it on is low on memory, it may automatically switch back to the Basic Rendering Technique.

      Good afternoon,
       
      I'm looking for a way to change a texture image. Not sure if there is a free photoshop type of program that can be used.
      I would like to achieve the flagstone with a Natural Red / Brown Granite texture, and the fill between to be a Gravel texture.
       
      thanks in advanced!

      I've searched over all materials in the library and in bonus libraries unable to find a wall material that alternates between skinny and wide planks. The closest material I can find is the "Board and Batten" siding which has fixed skinny battens and wide boards. I know about sizing the image but what I'd really like to find is a material that I can control for both plank sizes--say, 4" & 8", or 3" & 6", or 2" & 7", etc. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Tony.

      Anyone up and able to give me some advice on getting this Quartzite imported material(second screen shot) to look more like the slab (first screen shot) I've taken it from? Third screenshot is my Library material.

      In X13, the drawings are complete and I wanted to copy the Layout for a new Layout Template.  You can see the whole sheet with plans, drawings, notes and titleblock in the THUMBNAIL view but when I try to show / open the Layout page itself, nothing appears.  This is true for all 3 "master template" Layouts that I created.  They Layout file and Plan file is too large to attach.  I'm sure I'm missing a simple step but please help!  See attachment screenshot.

      I'm looking to see if there is a way to separate the material between the frame and the reveal of a window (or door).
      When painting the frame it also paints the reveal the same material, and visa versa.
      I have been a long time Chief user but never found a solution - so hoping someone has a good trick. Using X13 currently.
       
      Thanks in advance!
