FYI No Locate simply means that Auto Exterior Dimensions will not dimension to your wall. This has no bearing on placement.

bold indicates a searchable term or phrase in the help files. There are only certain built in columns to include within schedules that have the ability to report values to a totals row. Your custom field will not be able to report to a totals row

currently only have the ability to total specific columns to include. You would need to find another method to populate totals. You could do this with a totals object that reports to schedule with its own custom field which does the total calcs for you through a macro that you script. Keeping in mind it would have its own column and row so may not be formatted the way you want:

Would be happy to take this on for you. current backlog is 3 weeks though. Feel free to give me a call or reach out through the website in my signature.

If you want to draw and don’t care about the lower end graphic card I would def go with the surface studio mobile. it’s optimized for stylus use with greater pen sensitivity and higher resolution. It’s a bit more expensive though… I’d probably be waiting for the next version though as it will likely get a 4060 card

Hey there! I see you’ve recommended this laptop as a possible 2-in-1 option. Just wanted to clarify that it’s not actually a 2-in-1, but more importantly, I’d be careful about suggesting it for use with Chief. I totally get the good intentions behind the recommendation; however, Chief is very graphics-intensive. This laptop only has one small exhaust port, and that’s not enough to keep it cool when running something as demanding as Chief. Inadequate cooling will likely result in thermal throttling, affecting the CPU’s performance and slowing everything down. Just wanted to give a heads-up so that everyone can make a well-informed decision!

2 in 1 touch screen is your unicorn. These high end graphics cards need a lot of cooling otherwise they will throttle and your machine will slow to a crawl.(The next version of the mobile surface studio is the machine you’re speaking about essentially, but that current offering throttles so often you’d be spinning your wheels) Any machine that proposes otherwise is selling snake oil. Which leads us to your weight limit… these high end cards take big watts and big watts take big power and big power weighs a lot more. the next generation of machine learning laptops may have graphics on the chip and take less power consumption.. but I bet that’s a ways off still.

Got confused by the request as well...the molding in this case is part of a feature and the wall niche is presumed to be much smaller

Create your own door stile that has an opening between the stiles and rails if you want to keep using this method..otherwise why not use the molding tool to draw in your molding?

Very confused that there isnt a clear designation of US vs canadian, sorry..Ill shut up now, haha

Forgive my ignorance, but when I clicked on yours it shows the same price? I have a hard time believing anything with a 4070 is less than $2K US

oh Canadaian conversions?

Id go with eluktronics instead for that price. Better thermals which is important, more RAM, way more cores and faster processor. same price. great company https://www.eluktronics.com/prometheus-xvi-g2

I’m surprised rtrt quality was your inhibitor on Twinmotion considering none of the options you listed are rtrt quality save for sharing the chief model, and even then they would need a compatible card. you can do complete walkthroughs with simple keyboard navigation in Twinmotion cloud and the Physically Based Rendering is far superior to chiefs for the cloud presenter. a side note… I would never give my client a model. That’s like leaving a level on a job…

I am learning macros, at a decent pace, but this consistantly eludes me. I would like to see a WORKING and COMPLETE example of a macro that accumulates totals which includes an individual publisher with a count greater than 1. Example, I want to assign the value of 20 to a custom field on an object, and add it to an accumulating total from other publishers that have values in that same custom field. Then report the count and also the total to global macros so I can use them in other calcs. Everytime I try and make this work, the accumulation compounds for every redraw, despite me putting in a step for resetting the totals.

Joe, take a look at this stream I did today and mentioned you a few times:

I will say you will not get RTRT with this laptop and once youve started using RTRT you don't really feel like going back..its a fantastic rendering method. Will also say that I have both nvidia and amd machines and the AMD machine has been such a better experience with driver issues over nvidia..night and day. So I would recomend the Legion 7 with the amd 6850x and 32gb ram

What is your current machine? I am assuming your signature isnt correct as it wouldnt give you the option to raytrace. Crashing has more to do with drivers than with machine spec..it may be that you do not need to purchase anything new and if you did, that you might run into the same issues. Driver updates are an important part of maintaining function in RT

Not quite. The 0" drywall layer is so that it shows drywall where the wall covering doesnt cover, because otherwise it would show framing...but your molding takes care of that. So the method is simply a invisble material on your drywall with a wall covering down to the reglet in your molding. What did you discover, any other hiccups with the pony wall method? Exterior walls fine? door settings? etc.

in that case you can eliminate the step where I modify the wall types
