Craigevans Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I am trying to include a 90 degree slider into my drawing. I cannot seem to find a way to do this with the current door tools in x6. It is forcing me to still have a portion of the wall remaining in the corner as a column. Has any one had any experience in drawing these with chief? If so please help…… I'm Lost!!!!

mattyt12 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 break the walls at the extents of the door and turn into invisible and place a 3D symbol for the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigevans Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Perry, This is in South Florida where everything is either CMU walls with tie beam. We are actually designing this house to be built with ICF with a 4" pour and then we are talking with the manufacturer and engineer to see if we can continue with a floating ICF beam or if not we will form a 16" high by 9 1/2" wide tie beam to allow for the door. We have done a lot of them with tie beams but this is the first we are trying to design with all ICF structure. Its turning into an interesting project. I am just new to Chief and am trying to figure out how to show it in the prints on a 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You should be able to slam the sliders to the corners with a small steel pipe coll. It's doesn't look like you want all glass in the corner, at least it doesn't look like it. That would certainly make it easier to model and build.
