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

Either quote me or at mention me(click on my name in drop down) or it wont notify me here: %automatic_label[0..1].include?("SB") && type[0] == 'B' ? ('BSC' << ((height - countertop_thickness).to_f.to_i.to_s) << width.to_f.to_i.to_s) : automatic_label% this checks for the condition that the automatic label sees this as a sink base..so bear that in mind your automatic label should be in place on your default base cabinet. If the condition isnt met that your cabinet automatically reports SB in the automatic label then it will put the default automatic_label

just as an FYI @ACADuser and Tools:Checks:Spell Checking works

I have a cabinet label system in my pro plan template but honestly it took 10s of hours to create so I wouldnt just offer it up here...it takes into account a ton of cabinet labeling conditions such as filler labels, appliance labels, glass cabinet labels, Microwave labels, spice cabinets garba pullouts etc. For what you are asking, a simple replace script would work inline Eric gives a great example..here is another:

nice

Create a new macro in TMM and name it whatever you like, simple to name is winSuffix...then paste this code and check evaluate and change context to owner object Keep in mind this retains all other labeling conventions from type code that fall outside of Left sliding and right sliding. Put this in your window label as follows: %FormattedOpeningWidth%%FormattedOpeningHeight%%winSuffix% Note:I like to use downcase for future-proofing # Copyright Rabbitt Design 2023 # CHECKING THE PUBLISHER VALUES FOR TYPE_CODE # CHECK THE DOWNCASED VALUE AND ASSIGN winSuffix ACCORDINGLY if type_code.downcase == 'ls' winSuffix = "XO" elsif type_code.downcase == "rs" winSuffix = "OX" else winSuffix = type_code end winSuffix
