woodmaister Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hello, I am a relatively new user of CA X15. I've spent quite some time reading old topics on this forum and watching various videos on YouTube. I've been searching for information using keywords like "Rounded edges, rounded corners, fillet edges, bullnose." Since the answers I found are only partial and mostly dated, I've decided to write my question here, hoping that someone can assist me. Question: How can I round the external and internal edges of walls? Considering that there was a lot of interest in finding a "simple" solution for creating bullnose edges some years ago, I'm wondering if there is anything in version X15 that could help me achieve this in the easiest way possible. I'm attaching two examples where I would like to round the edges. I would like the edges to be rounded to approximately R3 or R6. I sincerely thank you for any assistance.

glennw Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 You should be able to do the wall junctions using the Curved Wall tool. The widow reveals have been discussed in detail over the years - try refining your search criterion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Drywall bullnose corners are not handled by Chief. It's been asked for but it's not available and I don't expect it will ever be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodmaister Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 glennw: I noticed that your recommended solution has already been mentioned in several previous threads. Personally, I consider this a significant drawback, as the process can be quite time-consuming, especially if you want to create rounded edges in every room of the house, and it can become quite impractical for smaller roundings like R3 (3 mm). As I mentioned earlier, I'm a beginner, so please correct me if I'm wrong. As for window reveals, I'm currently researching all the available information on the internet. So far, everything seems quite time-consuming to me. I understand that not everything can be quick and straightforward, but I prefer to ask you experts if there's a solution rather than l reinventing the wheel. Thank you for the quick response and assistance. Joe_Carrick: That's truly a shame. I assume it's too technologically demanding to implement this feature then? It's surprising that most competing software has this feature implemented. Thanks for your response. Gawdzira: If I give such "Pro Tips" to my clients, I'll end up with no clients Times are changing, people always want more and better.

Joe_Carrick Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hi woodmaister, The only way this will be addressed by Chief is for lots of users requesting it via suggestions. ie: suggestions@chiefarchitect.com btw, You really should provide a forum signature so we know what version you are using, your computer specs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
