Impromptu New Years Show LIVE - Designers Show

Описание: www.chiefexperts.com


Rene Rabbitt accidentally goes live when the show was supposed to be canceled, so he wings a solo Designers Show with advanced Chief Architect tips.

Main demo: building a fast, repeatable parapet detail. She places molding profiles, classifies them as base/crown, tweaks offsets, and stacks moldings so the cap/flashing reads correctly in cross sections. Then she saves the whole setup as a room style palette so it can be “sprayed” onto any room with one click (including no roof/no ceiling and materials).

He briefly tests converting a 3D solid into a stretchable molding, but it doesn’t behave as expected, and he mentions a possible Chief glitch. He wraps by showing how he pins custom library tools to toolbars (board-and-batten, shiplap, belly band, etc.), touches on macros/schedules for area analysis and automated notes, and plugs Dan’s Bloomington class (Jan 12-15-26).
