ChiefUserBillH Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm fairly new to C/A and I wondered if there is a way to import Simpson joist hanger profiles into C/A X8? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Check the Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPalmer Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You can download the Simpson Catalog from Chief (can't remember if it comes standard or if you have to download it separate). In 2d, not 3d. https://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true (under CAD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefUserBillH Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks Joe, I finally found the bonus library downloads and installed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 For 3D Simpson Products go here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/9443-x8-importing-cad-blocks-simpson-hanger-problems-displays-with-lines/?hl=simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefUserBillH Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thanks Chopsaw, When I go to the link you gave and I download those CAD details I just get 2D details. Is there a certain procedure to get 3D details? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Sorry I just gave the link to the other Thread with both of the other links. Are you referring to the 3D warehouse link? There should be many choices of 3D Simpson products there downloadable as .skp files that are mostly compatible with Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Here is the Simpson library from an earlier version of Chief. Not a 3D library, but very good 3D representations of Simpson products that can be included in your plan details. Because it is an older library, not all of the products currently offered by Simpson will be found there, but many are.
