I think this warrants further discussion with chief tech support. I have a hard time believing your 3080 card has anything wrong with it.

POST 104 A late #freesymbolfriday for #ChiefArchitect. Whooopss.. How about a skylight frame for you rendering buffs. This symbol is an exterior fixture that does not report to schedule or show label. It will be painted with your default exterior door material when placed in plan. This should auto place on roof in plan view ...this should also be centered on your skylight that you draw first. Then just concentric resize based on a base skylight dimension of 24x48. So if you have a 24x60 skylight, just add 12" to the height (easier than trying to do the math with slope...this is a linear calc for this symbol.)

I would say this is heavy leaning toward a commercial building workflow with an RCP. I only ever see local muni preference of having it all on one sheet in the regions I work in nationally. Is this a requirement somewhere? I am just curous I would suggest, sending in a suggestion for additional electrical layers and pin it here and we can all go file a report and it might change. My preference is entirely for scalability, it's difficult to adopt someones custom stuff..I can't do it, I work with too many different Chief Techs..and a system like this is one I see as volitile...too many symbols and too much maintaence. I have all of my own symbols for z-wave..already too many to manage and go build a layer set around after designating outlet/light/switch leg/ etc. Even more so when you get into conditions where a symbol needs to be on both an RCP and a power plan. If nothing else, would encourage to push this to suggestions..we can get stuff to happen that way, as its a great thought @RobUSMC

I will be thankful for the day when chief gives us these items on a system-based custom layer..then its scalable globally and would be awesome

This is great for the individual user...but custom layers like this are such a pain to deal with as an outside contractor coming in and trying to help with your plan. Not to mention the maintainence of it and upkeep. As soon as you setup something custom, it can all bebroken by a code cycle, or a software cycle, or you want to change your approach...then you have to process all of these symbols again. I'm only mentioning this because I've been throughit all extensively and its a major pain in the long run. All of my custom layers are finally long gone and I am so much happier for it. If you plan on ousourcing at all, I highly encourage sticking as close to defaults as possible. I would argue that you burn just as many sheets having multiple sheets with different things on them as you would just sending your plan at a greater scale and using match lines.

Hey Maryland girl. Usually I would support prior versions but chief changed so much in terms of structure for library browser and toolbars that I had to start a large part of the templates from scratch. I would say make the jump into X15 though. I’ve got some new serious time saving features in the X15 templates

I wasn't even an idea then

take your patios..level 1, and set to pour/frame 4..(dont need to do this on fnd level) then select your fnd wall, and set to 18" footing height

I didnt manually drag anything

any reason not to change the footing height for that wall?

your patio pour number should not superceded that of the higher elevation slab, its a priority, not an order of operations. also..mark me as solved, haha

This is a super old screen, one of the first gen 4K 120hz. I’ve spent so much $$ on equipment the last 3 years, I’m not ready to drop any more on a screen, never had any problems reading text on this though I would prefer the ultra wide curved monitors honestly.. this thing is an ergonomic nightmare

Still working on mine, trying to figure out layout before I start rebuilding the desk itself. Should look like a spaceship desk when I’m done. i think progress pix are fun. both my desktop and laptop as well as gpu are all tapped into this desk. To the right is an 11’ screen tapped into them as well. The block work(mdf) flanks the 11’ screen with sound reactive and segmented LEDs that line the room

you quoted me by the way..solution is complicated if you wanted it as a cabinet..no backsplashes

it can be done..does it need to be a cabinet? The solution is complicated

Coming back to this...I always have to ask...why are you providing material lists? Are you design-build?

agreed. Thanks for taking the time to answer

this...and Im never going to stop using my 3dmouse, haha, so those arent options. Helpful for someone else though Close but not quite what Im looking for.. this frames an object in view and then moves the focal distance again once you move the camera

I want to lock the camera end, and subsequently the focal distance for using focal blur.

I do it all,been working remotely for a decade, well known in the community as well as with the Chief staff. website in my signature and here are some samples:

haha, sorry but this made me chuckle. It is anything but easy but I think we will get there eventually. Redundancy checks, file authoring, file locking, id management, list goes on...its very very complicated to use the same file at the same time across a myriad of systems both running locally and networks simultaneiously. Fraught with complications. You COULD, put your textures file on the cloud in the same location for every machine. You will absolutely run into redundancy, and file bloat..since one machine may try and write a material whil another machine is referenceing those materials..but it will work. Or simply map textures to a known location and turn off the option to copy externally referenced files in chief.

the back face item acts completely different from a millwork shelf, try it out.

I have not been able to get it to work.
