CA is only compatible with O. Rift and Vive. I bought the O. Rift and, to be honest, was hoping for a better experience. It was a bit too shaky so I called tech support and the guy told be to move the sensors around. That did make it work better, but the overall quality is still less than what I would like my customers to see. It may be an issue on my end to be fair. One cool thing about it is that you are actually moving in the model. The downside to that is that you would need a wireless headset and a huge room to really use it. I was hoping that you could use the controllers to walk through similar to the viewer app controls. All-in-all looking forward to how it works with the full release of X10 and definitely excited about the future of this feature.

Well, I wouldn't say that no one will actually use it, it is still too early to make those predictions. And which users have had an Oculus Rift headset at home aside from those that are into gaming? If it helps me to get my customers excited about my process I'll drop the $400 on a headset...

Nate, Thanks for this post. I don't have a VR headset at the moment, but according to your post the experience seems cool enough to make a purchase. Seeing that this post is over 2 weeks old, do you have any other thoughts about it? Thanks again!

I have a home show coming up that I will be presenting in and I am wondering if it will be worth buying a nice set of VR Goggles to use at the show... Anyone? I searched for a video or more info on CA main site to no avail...

Update: Fixed! Went through and prioritized my pc for X10 and it helped a bit. However, I realized that the model I was working in was originated about 3 versions back. I brought up a model created in X9 and it worked like a charm!

Thanks Mick, but it is still lagging. A color change to a garage door takes even longer - around 15 sec... I'll be falling asleep at my desk if I keep using X10. Think I'll go back to X9 until the official release.

Is anyone else having lag when editing in 3D? I just installed the X10 Beta today and am working through the settings. I have adjusted everything in preferences that I know of to no avail... To move a window 3 inches in standard ortho view is taking between 5 and 10 sec. X9 on the same machine(specs below) is 1 to 2 sec. Hardware edge smoothing setting doesn't seem to have an effect on this delay. Everything is optimized for multi-cores. I will say though that I am pleased with the speed at which the camera moves around after the scene is rendered. I would just like to shave a few seconds off when editing in 3D. Thanks!

I was looking at the Thea products... does anyone know which one works best with CA models?

I love the Adobe Creative Suite for all things CA that need purdifiying. I realize not everybody has time to learn new software, and I too wish Chief could do plans as well as walk my dog - But hang in there! One day it may be able to!

Joe Carrick, That is very impressive and if my customers become willing to pay for materials list I will be buying macros from you

Looking for a someone competent in CA X8. Full time or Part time employment opportunity. Pay will be based on experience and production. Mainly residential home design, but I offer many services. Initially the qualified applicant will be responsible for creating construction drawings from templates and marked up drawings including site plans.

Use the "open below" room type for your stairs to show up on the main level. For the grade to be at floor level, open the terrain specification dialog box and set building pad to 1/2" to 1" - a value of zero will cause your porch floors to conflict with the grade. The other foundation issues are going to require more time to explain. There are folks on here that you can hire to train you, or hire to clean up your models.
