DRAWZILLA

I tried to update my video card today from Nvidia's latest 3/7/16 update. Don't do it if you have dual monitors going on. It will crash your system so bad that you need to use a restore point to get back. So at least create one before you try it. First one ever from them for me. They agree is it a problem for people using multiple monitors. I would wait until they fix it.

The way I do things, it would save me a lot of time, maybe an option to have the same name. I'm always exploding and saving all the time

I really wish when we explode a block make a change and re-block it would use the same original name.

That was it Joe , thanks

We tried all of them in X7, and no go except plants. Back then We decided The plant sched. was the best way, for some reason I can't remember.

I think there will be some slowdown if you have views sent to layout to "Always update". Try changing that setting to "On demand" and see if that helps. I have all my views set to On demand. All you really have to do is hit one button to update everything.

yes, but only in X8, in X7 you couldn't use anything but Plants b/c that was the only on that had labels

Scott, the wall material region does have a thickness you can assign, or am I not understanding what you are saying

For me it's basement on level 1, foundation on level 0, works good for me. I want my foundation plan separate than a basement plan, too much going on ,and the cities might reject it drawn that way as too hard to understand.

I also use Ariel exclusively. The problem is in my text blocks on the layout, that I have had for years. It seems that the last update is the culprit.

If it installed with Chief then it's already in you fonts section

I thought he wanted something else.

did you get all the windows 10 updates?

why not you can still use walls on the second floor, no matter what height your 1st floor is.

Chief has tested well with windows 10 for long time now, but sometimes the little buggers have a problem, try to send it in to support.

You just need to divide the 2 rooms with an invisible wall or room divider wall and change the ceiling heights.

Just change the height for that room or rooms. Chief works with rooms as the main thing

it looks like the casings are different sizes door to window. I would make the sidelights out of doors.

Yes, just make sure you get one that works with Room Planner. Chief has a list.

Also there are some old mirror textures floating around from previous versions. Try another one from the lib.

Happened to me and I use "Ariel" for everything but only in a text block.

YEP I ALSO GET THIS, WISH THEY WOULDN'T DO THIS EVERY TIME I now have been going thru all the templates and unblock and click on height and width and rename and re-block.

Thanks Greg, I think it will be great for my client videos I do. Unfortunately my wife will put the kabash on it until my birthday so I will have to find another way. She always says I have everything, so she want to surprise me --some surprise.

Looks to me like the batts are white or light gray. Change them to black in the edit texture DBX. I have an anno-set just for sending elevations to the layout,(Scott does this also) to get the lineweight I want, like windows ,doors, and roofs for the pop effect.

I don't think Chief is really made for commercial work (Con doc's) so you would have to do some workarounds.
