DRAWZILLA

Try to put some light sources in that room and lighten up the scene. Those are pretty bad quick RT's. I would put 3 or 4 lite sources in that room. You might not see it then b/c no light reflecting off the cabs. Also see if there is difference using a different door style. I also do crappy 5 min RT's and never seen this.

In the symbol options, when you create it, there are options for inserting into cabinet top.

Barry's good, I have been using him for a while now, fast service, accurate with great prices. I have stopped doing them and use Barry. One less thing to worry about now.

Put your plant on a separate layer, turn it off, but leave plant labels on. You can also adjust the transparency to 100% in the plant DBX. and it won't show in 3d. I don't use a plant schedules so not a problem for me

Thanks again, Joe I'm wondering where any people from Chief are , haven't seen many here lately. I'm sure they must be busy working on all the new goodies to come.

Yes, that works good, I'm just trying to get the numbering like 1-6 on the first floor and 7-15 on the 2nd floor. The second floor starts with 1 again, could get confusing for some people.

What I love about this is that I can also have plan notes on each separate floor on the plan. I wish I could just number the schedule so 1st and second floor didn't have the same numbers to eliminate some confusion. It would also be great to have plan notes on Foundation, Electrical, Framing, and all the other plans.

Too bad we can't add an arrow within the label spec's.

I use it all the time for Electrical.

Joe, the genius just keeps coming. Thank you, sir.

When I save the symbol to my lib. and add it to the "Place lib. object" it won't keep the same layer I saved it with, it always reverts back to furniture interior layer. BTW I saved it in a new plan notes layer so every time I place one ,I have to change the layer to my new layer. Question, did I have to change the symbol layer before I created the symbol? ps even when I copy the symbol it reverts back to the other layer.

Who said I kan't spel

Yes, JOE IS THE MAN. Now watch Chief come out with this in X7. like last year with Layout Page labels

Joe, you did it!!!! You are the man. I got to try this one. What's great is that you can save this to your template plan and ----done. You could even pre set-up the notes for those standard things you use every time. Nice!!!!!

Also is it turned on?

Thanks for the tip, Joe, I'm going to set this up right now.

Bug,Bug and double Bug?

Look at it this way, you can't get permits with chicken scratch anymore means more business for us.

I hope your joking, everyone else was.

In prefences, you can also change the amount of backups you want higher or lower

I won't do it at all

Delete the oldest ones but not all, keep a few.

I have spent over $800 for a video card and it made all the difference for me.

Gaming cards aren't designed for cad work, they are for 3d, and fast refresh rates for camera views and make all the difference in the world for me. Raytracing is done with the "CPU", the more cores the better. Chief is a 3d program and has Cad on the side. They have always recommended gaming cards for the best performance.

Usually Chief recommends you turn off import hatching, so my is off. Whoever sent you that must have had some layers different than usual.
