  1. Larry is there anything running in the background while you are working? your specs look ok to me. Do you have lots of complicated railings? I do try to stay with intel processers I7 or I9 and always have. Good luck, I can see why you are going crazy.
  2. i have been building the second floor up on a 4x8 block up on top of the existing c.j. , double block between the ceiling joists I have been doing this for 40 years now. The framers love it b/c you create a duct space and room for large beams when needed. manother plus is new floor is not a part of the ceiling , so no sound transmission . The clients I work with want nothing to do with trusses of any kind. extra time is most of the reason. After the block up you have approx. 18" to work with
  3. Sorry I don't have that one but solver is correct
  4. i have asked that this be fixed for many years, we need Chief to give us separate ridge and ledger edit boxes. Right now I just put the ridge in with the roof beam tool and leave the ridge the same size as the rafters. Edit. also need a way to have ,or not have, a fascia on any selected roof plane edge.
  5. It's now called plumbing fixtures.
  6. I would also crank up the exposure to around 70 and add 20 to the saturation and brightness
  7. 300 for me but test out different resolutions to see if that helps.
  8. I use a reference display ,also good for showing roofs on different levels
  9. pony wall with a wall cap is the way I would attack it also
  10. I have been using windows 11 on my desktop for a few months now and not seeing any problems with Chief so far. As for a laptop, I don't use one, screen is just too small for these tired eyes.
  11. I will use a 24" door for a walk-in attic access door.
  12. I would use a "PBR" and export it using a high resolution. This is of course if your video card can handle it.
  13. I have been using a 3060 12gb for some time now and it' works just fine , I did pay too much for it 1300, at that time, but not seeing any problems so far
  14. You can use reference sets to do that. You should check in each door's dbx to see if show concrete cutout is checked, then it will show on the foundation plan. Sorry I didn't download the plan.
  15. Larry , I have been using windows 11 for about 6 months now, at first there were some problems but nothing I couldn't work around. they have fixed all that now and it's working fine.
  16. THANKS Joe, those stair macros are working very good, they save me a lot of work.
  17. pigs always fly around here I flew then and I will fly now when I have to seats are just too small for me , btw I flew there first class with lots of legroom
  18. Larry ,I sometimes see this , not sure why but it does happen.
  19. I use 2x4 framing with r-15 in the walls all the time but this is California where the energy code is tougher than the ICC codes, I also use the computer method where you can trade off different methods.
