Its the rope lights, no ambient user added light

Just letting people know, RTX works on the SB3 in my sig. 3k exports at a sample rate of 500 take about 15 minutes with 1k textures and a couple hundred lights. (line-over option)

Either I am missing something or you are. I use the SAM method and absolutely do not rename plan files...ever...it's a terrible practice..if you ever want to rename something, rename the containing folder. Save a template layout and template plan with as many cameras, SPV's, CAD details sent to layout as you like . Template plan is linked to template layout. Start a new plan, draft up your building. Save the plan file. Start a new layout, Tools/Layout/Referenced Plan Files/ change to the plan you just saved. No renaming at all. Plan file should always remain the same name, ie John Doe Project.plan. (save them in the same folder...210525-DRVA-V1-R0) Have a different version, do the same process.

Very difficult to find a card right now..we might see some if nvidia does in fact block cryptomining on their next inventory of cards. I've been looking for months.

I live in the Oakland Hills, thanks for the mention @joey_martin. I know a few other designer/drafters here as well, give me a buzz @mborean

I would love to be able to work proficiently in 3d. That being said, is there some method of drawing and moving walls in 3d using dimensions that I may be unaware of? The only way I know of is drawing a wall segment, bump it all the way to its opposing wall, then tab-input the inside to inside dimension...cumbersome!

Strongly suggest redundant info unless you are using a macro. Very easy to change that info in one spot and forget the other. Just use a "per detail, or per plan" note or use a macro.

Personally, my job as a drafter and designer is to illustrate a specific set of instructions in the simplest way possible. List your staircase width in your plan view, and your walls are dimensioned...the builder should be able to do his calcs from there. If you really feel the need to get more detailed and want to show a floor framing view you can setup a reference layer set showing your floor joists on another floor or simply rename your views to illustrate your intent: Foundation and 1st story floor framing: 2nd Story Floor Framing:

Use a detail, spec a dimension in that detail or put per plan, simple enough. You can snap dimension lines to roof planes.

You can do this using landings instead of the staircase tool, You have to do some trickery to be able to control stringers though. Image on the right is landings

Yeah I am aware of the warehouse SAM method, certainly plenty of users still using that system, and it certainly works. For what I do in m own workflow, I can't imagine a faster system, different from the warehouse SAM. All of my legends, such as electrical and wall legends, all of my schedules including panel schedules, all of my keynotes, scales, standards, and many of my details that parse info from components in plan, live in CAD details. My project Browser is extremely well organized and I have different plan templates for different types of jobs, with coinciding macros for the type of project it is, slab on grade for instance. Those CAD details are already sent to a layout and I simply change the reference file at the start of a new project. For instance, CAD detail "typical foundation" will be a SOG in the SOG template vs a stem wall detail in Platform Template. Since the CAD is named the same, changing the reference file simply changes that detail..works flawlessly and is lightning fast and very dynamic.

That would be a big adjustment to my workflow. My system works really well for my own projects but not so much for collaborative. Furthermore trying to incorporate a detail warehouse plan into collaborative work just starts feeling a bit sloppy. Many of my details and schedules are parsing info from the job itself. My details carry macros from a job information macro that changes for every job and some of the details pull info from architectural components. A warehouse plan is just a disjointed and sloppy solution for something that should be built in IMO. I could make it work, but would definitely lose time trying to download the many work-arounds to collaborators. To be clear, I have a ton of systems in place that automate my process, and they are built around CAD details with macros, and they can get very very complicated...and with an adapting market out there that my own business model is setup to take advantage of, I am constantly doing fill work for production needs for various companies around the world. This piece of the software just needs to catch up, it makes too much sense...even the newest methodology in videos from Chief utilizes CAD details for plan organization, storing schedules in CAD, making the Project Browser a center-stage tool. .

Off-topic, still bummed that this is not a captured\transferable option for the Style Palette Tool

Yes but what a PAIN in the butt. Just had to do that for 35 CAD details I use in my template plan. So much wasted time. A simple export all tool and import all would be hugely beneficial. Especially since my details are already sent to my default layout template.

Ahh, I see the disconnect, goto Default Settings\Doors\Interior Doors\Materials and you will find your trim, exterior and interior.

Just to be clear, the Residential Template in Chief Architect Premier X-12 under Default Settings\Interior Door\Materials\ has a designation for both Interior and Exterior Trim. Will you check to confirm?

Wanted to bring this one back up, especially considering canvas' new service. Scan to Chief files work brilliantly but they will not use the end-users template plans. This makes a CAD detail export option crucial to the success of updating a current plan file with templatized standards in CAD. PLEASE add a CAD export option. So important to us who collaborate.

Must be slippin, losing your star power, better step it up

Thanks Ryan, yes I train and am based in Oakland. You can contact me through my website or at renerabbitt@gmail.com

Yes, correct

Just an FYI, a few of us like to import Huawei devices. The p40 pro has a TOF sensor as well...in case that helps your development

TM has its own water cube that works well for pools. TM also has its own waterfall effect, add some eye candy, add some fog-See below For thea, I would model the waterfall structure and place rocks at the landing area and use the sketchup plugin clothworks with pins at the top and drape a surface over the entire model. Basically a cloth simulation . With the right settings, the cloth will bounc and drape as needed to look realistic in thea. More labor intensive for sure. 2021-04-19 13-12-58.mp4
