  1. You can select the outside room and select room molding p-line then put it on any layer you want. where you don't want the belly band just break that line and un-check molding on this line. A lot faster method for sure.
  2. I'm talking about the placement on floor 1 when you are on floor 2 when on floor 2 a slab will place it on floor 2 where a p-solid from the primitive tool will place it on floor 1 even when you are on floor 2.
  3. Then why are they both listed as p-solids from both category's EDit, ok after further review, one is listed a slab and the other a solid, but they do act differently when placed on a floor.
  4. For all you guys that have to do or have done sun study's--good luck.
  5. I wonder why the p-solid tool acts differently if you pick a p-solid from the toolbar, and if you pick a p-solid from the primitive solids section. From the primitive solids section it always give you the solid located at "(0)" height even if you are on the 2nd floor. From the toolbar, it puts the solid at a 2nd floor height.
  6. Yes , I always use rapid mode b/c I have plenty of memory. There was another reason for trying to get top speed but, I only have SATA 1 so I can't get top speed without changing out my motherboard. If you have SATA 3 you can get there. It's still fast at SATA 1. I'm happy.
  7. Maybe your thinking of the roof plane tools section. its there. Just select a roof plane and it comes up in the edit toolbar.
  8. I'm thinking somehow that may have gotten changed.
  9. Lets keep it going and make it a hot topic, maybe someone will notice. Also p-line labels is needed.
  10. Have you tried this tool, not just brick, it also works for stucco and drywall
  11. Isn't Idaho where Chief is? maybe that's why they don't understand some of the things we need to draw a complete structural plan. It's nuts down here and there are a lot of tools we could use.
  12. Scott's correct, we have been talking about this since Ruby was added to Chief. Many , many posts
  13. Chief has an app called "Room Planner" that will work with that Disto. There is a video floating around here that Chief made available check Youtube.
  14. Kirk, is this kind of thing coming to X7 soon? Just a hint will do. Last year Joe did all this hard work on layout sheet index's and it came out in X6.
  15. Yes, its GB. Friday, fried, fickle, frozen brain day at my house. Ain't I lucky. X7 anxiety, it's Chief's fault.
  16. I have almost 600mb used on my 840evo 1tb drive. I also have a 1tb backup drive ( my old main drive). on a desktop you just plug it into an unused elect. and data wires, then just copy your drive over to the SSD, then go into the bios and switch the boot drive to the new SSD and done. The software that comes with it makes it real simple. If you have a laptop you need the usb transfer cable.
  17. NO BUILDING CODES!!!!!, are you kidding me? Permits must be easy for you. Oh, how I dream of that. Lucky dog.
  18. I put everything on the 1tb SSD I have, also backup to the cloud, no fus -no muss
  19. The floor material region will delete the flooring under it, if its set up that way, you might have to put it back in the floor finish.
  20. I have the 840 1tb and love it I also would not get an ATI card, NVidia is the only one for me, but, in the past Chief has had some problems with ATI. I think its better now though.
  21. Draw it in a cad detail and save it in the my moldings folder. Then when you attach an edge to a countertop just go get that one. Use size to fit.
  22. you can have 8 lites per room, just not more than 8 per view
  23. Just draw what you want and use it as an edge profile for the countertop
