DRAWZILLA

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.

NO BUILDING CODES!!!!!, are you kidding me? Permits must be easy for you. Oh, how I dream of that. Lucky dog.

I put everything on the 1tb SSD I have, also backup to the cloud, no fus -no muss

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.

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.

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.

you can have 8 lites per room, just not more than 8 per view

Just draw what you want and use it as an edge profile for the countertop

I think you can name it prior to sending to the lib.

Are they turned on and light adjusted maybe to a higher lumen

My wife says "I have no moving parts"

Didn't notice it either.

This one is 2 min. with some tone adjustments. There was no light leak it was the bar lights reflection.

Here is a 3 min RT. I adjusted the lighting. I also turned off all lights and just used the light sources. Some color would really help this view.

Just try to learn manual roofs, once you learn them, its very easy to do. I use auto roofs to start ,then manually fix them. try to connect your walls at that point, depending on how you defined the room those could be attic or regular walls. Use the "edit wall layer intersections" tool. Remember the roof edge should be located at the exterior surface of the wall not the framing. usually Chief does this automatically but sometimes it doesn't . You probably have 2 moldings in the roof DBX , maybe in the freeze section, you can have more than one so check to see if you have 2

Put that info on the layout. Also you can set up template plans both plan and layout and link them, add any info,(plans, elevations, sections you want and use those for new plans. When I start a new plan, I start with my plan and layout and everything is already linked ,camera views, sections, all plan types. My plan template file has a basis box house and all the usual fixtures ready to go. You can also use Scott's SAM method where you just take your last plan and layout rename it and delete items that don't apply in the new plan and go from there.

I'm not sure building things out of cabinets is ready for prime time just yet. Too many of those little things pop up. It sure would be nice to have a generic tool like that, though.

I added an SSD to my system and it was the best thing I ever added for speed

If you have turned off auto roofs, you might have to adjust the roof in the z- direction to get it to set on the plate line.

Not sure but it could be a video card issue, are you using the latest update for that card?

I have noticed some sinks need to have their "origin" changed in the symbol DBX to sit correctly. you need to select the countertop hole and adjust it.

The raytrace is really all about the setup . I do 3 to 5 minute RT's and they are pretty good but I really have never had to wait 21 min. if you have a lot of lights on it does take forever. What I do is turn off all the lights and use light sources in each room as needed. Its all in the setup.

You can use the "country" box or any other box you don't use. I use the country for lot and tract numbers

here is one of them http://www.locklizard.com/pdfsecurity.htm?gclid=CLq43JXwmsECFU1afgodKAwAPw

There are programs that will let you delete a "PDF automatically from their computers on any date you want or you place the "PDF on someone else's server and they have to get permission to download it, it can also be deleted from their computers. You set a date to be deleted, if they haven't paid you by then then its deleted. Not a cheap program though.
