Yes, I had the task manager open but on my second monitor so I couldn't keep track of everything going on. I was using a stopwatch on my iPad to record the times...

16 seconds to open plan camera. 16 seconds to open new Full perspective overview camera.

1.) = 18 sec 2.) = 21 sec 3.) = 19 sec 4.) = 34 sec

I agree with Jorge... carpenter uses more than one type of saw...

I just watched the video from Digital Canal about panelizing your framing... Thought you might want to check it out... https://digitalcanal.com/

I have seen a big improvement using my new computer. I don’t know what Chief uses but I have been having fun doing ray trace renders... in the past I never had the time to do them. I just did a ray trace in my other CAD and it was done in just a few seconds. I opened a large plan along with the layout that I had been working on with my old computer and noticed immediately no lag time when making changes. The computer was just a smidge north of $3k. No assembly needed! And I would like to thank the guys on here for their great advice when I was shopping...

Did you turn gyro on?

There’s a way... but not as quick and straight forward as the above.

Did you select a cabinet?

Yep! It’s a miracle that the human race has survived.... with all these older homes just slipping off the foundations everyday due to lactating anchor bolts placed into the concrete by mere mortals.

We didn’t have those anchor holders back in the 70’s when I worked for a foundation company... I was thinking about placing the mudsills with the anchor bolts after the top had been troweled... you could stack all the sill plates, layout and drill mass production wise...

Good to know my new system will at least be good to play video games on... wait! I thought CA was a video game.

One is in ft and inches and the other is in inches. A 2-6 door is 30 inches.

I have always thought it would be more efficient for the foundation crew to install the sill plate when they set the anchor bolts... even if the framers had to remove the plate later to roll out the sill sealer. At least the anchor bolts would be set to the proper height and we could actually have anchor bolts within a foot of the end of the plates.

Graham, do you have something to monitor your ram usage? You may be able to boost your pbr performance there. I recall one of the big render guys on here mentioning he has 32gb but wants to bump up to 64gb.

Have you tried rich text yet?

Layout Box Borders and Labels A border will display around each layout box when the “Layout Box Borders” layer is set to display in the Layout Page Display Options dialog. See Layout Page Display Options. Layout boxes can also display labels when the “Layout Box Labels” layer is set to display. See Object Labels. Automatic layout box labels display basic information about the original view in the plan. For example, plan view sent to layout from Floor 1 will have an automatic labelthat says, “1st Floor”. A camera view sent to layout will have a label that states the camera’s name. Layout box labels have their own edit handles and can be customized to include text as well as Object Specific Text Macros. See Text Macros. 9

Maybe if the saved plan views had been called saved layout views, it would be more intuitive for some???

If the same question gets asked every week... maybe the search feature should be enlarged, highlighted or emphasized more???

Very well done presentation, Rene. Thank you for your time... I felt like I was watching an episode of Bob Ross painting.

Thanks Joe!

Allow me to suggest a battery backup with surge protector for your system also. It has saved my butt more than once... https://amzn.to/2Uwk6my

My PDF file size was 2.17MB. I changed the missing font to Arial and no logo... Looks like you need to stretch your text blocks a little on page 7... if you go with Arial.

If you go 6" below the top of foundation wall at the back wall with your slab, and then slope the garage slab 2" down toward the garage door, you should end up with the required clearance between your final grade and the wood framed garage wall.

Go to your windows file explorer and look under most recent...
