This new material can then be applied using paint can, or by changing material in room definition, or by changing material in wall definition, or by changing material in wall type definition.all of which have their upsides and downsides. You can create a new "Drywall" or "Siding" material for each color you'll be using. Better to teach people how to use the tools properly than to tell them not to use them at all. When I hear people tell new Chiefers "DON'T DO THIS" I think they're doing a disservice. You can paint the walls (could be done with "Blend Colors With Materials" toggled off or on depending on the situation). does anyone know of one? I'll pay a $100.00 finder fee if I like it and buy it.What is the proper procedure ? As most drywallers do not leave exposed studs for the painters. Well I would pay up to 10k for one that did what I wanted and was as easy to use as CA. Some of you might say, well then find another program. I would like to see Chief have those capabilities but I have been hanging around here since vrs 3 checking in and upgrading every other version and I don't see what I need coming even in the next 5 or 6 years. High end homes I have seen on the coast California or coast side Florida (the design work that I do) which use the EIFS which is used in commercial and high end residential provide architectural embellishments in a stucco finish. Those for some reason look nice and realistic but the moldings throughout don't seem to have a realistic look. I find the molding feature does not show up as nice as the hand full of architectural elements found in the library. Surrounds around a fireplace and so many features that a good 3d modeler could easily produce.

But houses on the coast with designs ranging from Roman architectural styles and Coastal Mediterranean to Tuscan, most have architectural features that CA can not produce. CA has log features for making log homes which can be used in some high end homes in many parts of the country such as the mountains. I haven't seen anything done for example with pediments or molded arches coated foam columns and architectural embellishments etc. I really haven't seen anything that gets into the 5 to 15 million dollar range.

I would like to see some examples of some high end work from some CA users that use architectural embellishments. I have seen custom work in high end homes with 4 and 6 inch bull nose where you have to modify the framing for it. They even have tape on 3/4 bull nose edges at home depot. I live in California and seen it in most new construction over the last 10 years. I don't see it happening unless they change the characteristics of how the wall behaves. However when you have a 3/4 bull-nose like that the base and crown usually have about a 7/8 inside cut to go around the corner.
