    This is what a backup does, it stores all of your files in a place of your choosing as an archive

    For those that are curious, it changes to a double line when you have a difference in setting from the rooms on either side of the wall

    I've run into it in previous versions of X17 to the OP, do you have grid snaps turned on, have you considered right aligning the text... and if you have auto width turned on for the text box consider turning it off. the program may try and size the box before the macro fires. Why are you using that particular macro? I would say that one is a risky one, there are so many conditions I can think of where that becomes a liability. Couldn't this be handled better in a detail or ceiling height macro?

    I was in early beta of X17 and my machines specifically had a number of issues that carried over which caused migration issues unbeknownst to me. I did several hundred hours worth of updates to my library and came to find out I had to wipe chief from the registry and start a fresh install and import my library. The library at this point was already missing textures from the problems with migration and I was unwillingly to try and migrate my old catalogs as they didn't have all of the new work I had performed

    FYI the OOTB default is 250 samples, 20,000 is a setting you put in place at some point you can often get away with 30 samples if your scene has enough lumens. You can also turn on DLSS realtime for designing in live raytrace or raytracing walkthroughs super fast. 2000 samples is way overkill for most shots. A spherical 360 photo is okay, but an HDR backdrop is preferred as it has a radiance channel that can take the place of using the reproduce sun settings in chief. For your older machine in most shots you can turn your bounces to 2 and 2 and adjust upward if you see problems. PS, seriously turn on DLSS for your walkthroughs

    I would say with 99 percent certainty that your cabinets will be flat-backed... No reason to ramp up the cost of a unit 500% for something that will never be seen or utilized. Hope that helps

    We dont have nearly enough info, sample rate too high. surface count can be super high, number of lights could be super high, number of transparent surfaces, resolution and size of screen, backdrop resolution, texture resolution, materials with pattern from texture enabled etc

    There is no CPU raytracing in X17

    Maybe @Eric_S? I have hundreds of missing textures. In past we were able to point to a search directory and it would find these textures by name. That method does not work any more. I could export my full library or a project and it would prompt me with missing textures and I could group select all and add a search directory and chief would find and load the missing textures as well as retroactively fix my user library. That entire wonderful function does not function any more. It never finds missing textures from a root folder that contains them all. To my knowledge the asset manager is about as useless as it comes for missing texture files. Having to do hundreds of textures one by one is not going to work for me, and merge duplicates has no option to merge a texture of the same name where one has the texture and the other is missing..big opportunity to fix a lot of problems for me. What other methods can I employ to efficiently recover my missing textures?

    really have to provide your plan file, your settings are likely less than optimal which no card is going to truly blow your mind if your settings are less than optimal

    select all library items, then apply an "untagged" tag, now select all tagged items and remove the untagged tag, then click on the untagged tag again and those will be the items that need to be tagged

    Hey thanks for the shout out, may I ask your name? I don't see it anywhere on your site etc. Barndo's is a hot market, I am sure the calls will start flowing
