Right click your desktop and choose Display Settings then subsequent menu hit graphics settings and ensure Chief is on performance mode as well

@parkwest4th question I ask is what Joe is suggesting. Ensure that chief is using your card in performance mode

You have 25 light sources from your rope lights but have a maximum of 20 lights enabled for this camera. Increase the number of maximum lights. In Rendering Technique Options, try checking "Improve Lighting Quality" under the Global Illumination Section

Check again for all of the things I posted above and then might consider a fresh install of Beta

If you use a blank chief-provided template plan do you still have an issue? Are you on the current Beta? Have you the newest geforce experience drivers? Do you have a forced performance mode on for Chief? Have you ensured all relevant settings are enabled for Chief in performance mode? Do you have any other conflicting graphics drivers? Have you completely uninstalled the geforce drivers and wiped the system and installed new?

You have a graphics card timeout issue. Have you updated your drivers? You could do a reg key hack to circumvent the timeout issue, though of course no one would recommend that. I've been encouraged not to point people in that direction.

Here you go, maybe something helpful in here:

BTW you can create a custom note schedule in plan and let your plan drive your labeling convention and then utilize macros. Just need to send the plan view to layout… I have a video that caught a lot of heat where I build a condoc from plan only, it’s on the forums somewhere, I’ll try and find it tomorrow.

Because RT is not dynamic… I can go back to any of my plans from the last 5 years that utilize Text and uniformly change all text to print a page at a different scale. Also, all of my details can immediately have text adjusted for scale uniformly without changing the size of the view sent to layout. The same way it is nice to adjust text in notes, callouts, labels etc just by changing your text defaults. Makes collaborating a breeze and adjusting to new features as they rollout when you’ve got a stocked library full of text based items. Part of increasing margins is to increase efficiency… when you start automating redundant tasks, you can see a 60 hour plan get cut down to 25

You could accomplish it, but would be very cumbersome to setup and not user friendly for any future collaborative work. You would simply be making global macros for each page that you could callup in your DIY page table. You would lose the automation of the page label (though you could create smething similar with a complex macro) and would be an awful lot of work for adding or deleting pages. If this was a one-off plan set that you wanted to have a uniform graphical quality to I would understand. I don't see a lot of difference between what you show there however. Easy enough to turn of the Layout page Table heading and make your own, adjust your column widths. Yes you don't have control over kerning or row height sure, but I would encourage all user not to use Rich Text in their plans and layouts anyways.

When in the Edit Toolbars Tool, in the panels named Tools, and Toolbar, under the View Type section, the View Type indicates which view you are adding a Toolbar to. If you want your user added Toolbar to show up on all views, make sure it is checked in the Toolbar Panel under the Toolbars Section for each associated view you would like that Toolbar to show up in

Are you using Tools\Layout\Layout Page Table? Are you entering info on each layout page using Tools\Layout\Edit Page Information\?

Just curious what other info you are trying to display in your Layout Page Table, as it already has the capability to show everything you just listed?

Has this always been the case and I'm just now noticing? I feel like this should be changed, I guess there may be a case for illustration purposes. See image-The painting is selected:

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

A simple P-line with global macro that parses perimeter length of the p-line. 210504-51.mp4

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:
