cbucks Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Is there a way in Chief to draw something similar with vertical boards at an angle to provide a directional privacy screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Solids will do this nicely. There is no Chief "tool" that produces these, so create them manually with solids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'd do what Gene suggested but you could also download one from 3D warehouse https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/models?q=privacy+screen&order=relevance&direction=desc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKEdmo Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Can this be a railing object? (1st time trying this so someone more experienced could chime in if any possible limitations). I created a custom angled library baluster. Result seems pretty good. Did this is X15. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railing tool allows you to select a Library object for the baluster. I just drew a skewed polyline, converted to solid, and then converted to millwork symbol while adding to Library. Here's a tutorial that should help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02893/creating-custom-balusters-and-railing-panels.html Type "custom baluster" in Chief's search and you'll get a lot of results. I think if you spend some quality time on this you can get a good result. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
