  1. I'm always willing to help Scott out, he taught me everything I know and the king of workarounds back in the day when we had a lot of those.
  2. I do have the card but not into pbr raytraces because frankly I don't want to send an image to the layout, I get a lot of changes sometimes and I know I will forget to re-send the updated image. I really like to keep everything live.
  3. You don't say what video card you are using, that makes all the difference in the world with X13
  4. Must be a mac. thing, never seen that error message
  5. sorry, I was moving myself at the time
  6. 24x36 minimum here with all the notes we in California have to show on the plans, anything else smaller isn't readable. Many pages of notes.
  7. not sure what video card you have but an updated driver could fix it or you could need a new one ,depending
  8. no ,he doesn't even know I'm alive but he is a distant cousin in real life.
  9. That process will cut the file size about half.
  10. reference sets are the way to go, been using them for a long time now. Scott is correct.

    Remember that you must send a image to the layout using RTRT with PBR. you cannot keep it live or it will not go beyond the unfinished view.
  12. Gene, your video card is very old and might not work correctly with chief
  13. I know that Chief is working on it, in the mean time you can raytrace the old way --cpu
  14. there are some in the Simpson lib. you can download
  15. Scott ,I'm running 2- 43" 4k monitors on my 3060 card, Windows is good to go. I think Chief is still working on getting Apple in line to work.
  16. get a PDF of the truss plan and import it to your sheets.
  17. just make it an "A "or "M" page" page. I also use the title box on every page to say what is on the page
  18. having a plan and layout already configured is a must for saving a lot of time. I have been doing that for 15 years using Chief.
  19. I would have just made the entry a room and set the ceiling height all the way up to what you need there.
  20. Check your file associations and open with settings. I have never seen that.
  21. I show the 1st floor roofs in a reference layerset as dotted so it's a little bit easier to make since of it.
