  1. Watch a pre-recorded version as it was LIVE- streamed on FB and YT. My first attempt at solving all of the issues on the Q&A Forums First page. https://www.facebook.com/753567585/videos/3124083284586193/
  2. FYI you do not need to have a separate default set to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish. You could do this by editing your active views selected defaults.
  3. You may be correct, I am uncertain, but to the effect that new capabilities may warrant a re-working anyway? Same way utilizing SPV's was worthwhile effort to establish in new templates for all projects moving forward. I personally use the Active Dimension Default dropdown religiously now, much improved workflow! I know that I had issues in legacy plans until I transferred them
  4. Thank You! I rarely get feedback, LOVE hearing that people are tuned in. I may do a video on this, on my Facebook feed and YouTube channel if you are on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3195137837435026
  5. Open the residential OOTB Use the File/Import/ tools to bring in your default settings and saved plan views. You will need to re-build any CAD details
  6. Aside from CAD details we can transfer everything from your X-12 template plan to a fresh new X-13 plan. A transfer specifically as opposed to a conversion. This should stop any issues.
  7. Just to be clear, what is the error that is occuring? Also for clarity, you are on the newest gfx drivers? Does a crash occur on a default OOTB template?
  8. @Chrisb222and @Designer1 you can always save all stuccos to your own user library and add a solid color map to the texture designation. This will allow the blend-with behavior to work
  9. From memory, the stucco materials have no texture(color.diffuse) map, only a bump map
  10. @jarrexcontinue to increase til it does, also adjust the material definition to invert the bump map. Might want to adjust the bump down if it is still an issue
  11. The bump map is likely inverted on the material. Ryan was partially right. Could increase thickness of the surface.
  12. For those of you having this problem on plans specifically brought in from previous software versions, it is really really easy to migrate your plan to a new blank X-13 template using edit area paste hold and importing floor defaults. Would that solve the issue?
  13. Wth! Dang it. I have an event tomorrow. I may try and convince a friend tondrive me sunday
  14. Just letting everyone know that I have a restrictive search engine built into my site for looking up code. https://www.rabbittdesign.net/reference-sites
  15. I made a system a while back using windows, I’ve since lost it, but it was calcing everything for me using symbols and custom fields with a schedule. I know it’s possible
  16. It’s not really Chief, it’s the condition itself. It’s the same problem that every billion dollar corporation has in regards to spherical stereoscopic renderings. How do you stitch multiple images taken from different perspectives into a spherical rendering when your axis of rotation is not a single fixed point. your camera works fine on an empty lot
  17. Not easy unless you have an empty lot, in this condition, the type or capabilities of the camera make little difference. Your fixed point of origin would need to be inside of the house. You’d be better off taking a regular camera, circling the house, and attempting to stitch it in post edit. i only do my spherical panos on empty lots.
  18. Simultaneous. It opens the doors to all of the sequential and simul combinations without writing over combos that are crucial for teaching beginners
  19. I personally only use spherical 2:1 ratio. If my pano does not fill a sphere then I auto fill and force a sphere. If you want to instead simply load your pano, then set the option to spherical, determine the degree of rotation of your original shot in both the vertical(H) and horizontal(W) FOV. Then set your backdrop in chief to be 4*W and 1*H So that a pano you shot with a W of 135 degrees and a H of 90 degrees should be set as a spherical rendering with horizontal at 540 and vertical at 90. Keep in mind your pano will have clipping at top and bottom. Only useful for interior shots You can always double your canvas width in Ps, dupe your pano, flip it and abut. This turns it into an infinite 360 pano.
  20. Really wish Chief would change all of the default hotkeys to combination keys only. Difficult to train people within default actions but also have a dynamic hotkey system.
  21. You should only need one time tracker for the aforementioned condition If you are spending time in layout that is not covered by the tracking in plan then there are workflow improvements that should be implemented. Plan and layout will continue to track up to the timeout period you have established. Which means that there is overlap in layout tracking that should be covered in plan tracking(your quantifying overlapping hours) If you started your proposed plan from your existing conditions plan then the proposed plan includes the tracking from the existing conditions. therefore, only one plan’s time tracking should be needed.
  22. I've done one, uses custom fields and symbols. It also creates a panel schedule. I add a custom field for circuit, and that circuit can have an amp value which can report to a load macro. The a schedule that is split at side 1 and 2 and organized by macros called zone the end results in a schecule that looks like a panel label and the load is stores in a global macro that can be put on a separate sheet. Its a bit of work to wrap your head around but works really well once youve got it put together
