  1. Tommy, that's some fireplace you got going on there. I'll bet that took some time to do.
  2. I think what's happening is ,Prices just go up, haven't seen prices that go down and we all have to pass it along to the client as everyone else does.
  3. not sure, but I use the NVidia control panel and adjust those settings for my video card. and always update the drivers. Also not sure what video card Bill has.
  4. all I can say is , you must have sent an image to the layout instead then.
  5. This is why I don't include these items in my door sched.
  6. Just refresh the view, Chief does this on purpose so the program works faster. Select the layout box and look at the edit toolbar below( the double arrow circle) , then it should sharpen up for you.
  7. I don't think a lot of people here have lots of experience doing chicken coops and barnyard stuff but you never know. It is possible though. You could try Shetchup warehouse. they might have some of those things
  8. never been an interior anything, i provide working drawings including structural for building permits --Con doc's. Never said Chief does commercial but I don't do that anyway. I just stick with custom homes and mostly remodeling up to 1.5 mil.
  9. Looks to me like that room needs some accent color in that scene.
  10. For me the new features in X10 are much more important than hardware locks b/c I'll take productivity improvements any day
  11. If you have the option to balloon thru ceiling, in the wall DBX, that will make the wall go up to the roof also.
  12. There is a lot of good stuff in X10, you'll be left in the proverbial dust.
  13. I think Chief will include things we need , but it might take some time, they do listen to us but its their company so it might take some time to get there. I know for a fact Chief has included many items I have wished for but there are many more that hasn't come around yet.
  14. You can choose the lib items you want to export, right click and choose export , do it to your desktop, them import from the lib tab. into X10
  15. try to turn off any lights in your plan that are not in the scene Why rt them if you can't see them.
  16. try this , check the clip surfaces in the camera DBX and see if it is to large for what you are trying to do, i use 24, you may have a too large number
  17. YES, I have many old mirrors, and with all these new materials I'm getting many doubles and not sure which one to use.
  18. I agree, saved plan views are very useful for me, getting around the plan is very fast now. If you use the plan views when sent to the layout, that's exactly what you see and if you use reference sets, you'll see how good it is vs. the old way--without them.
  19. I build bay's and box outs manually, then you can do it any way you want. The auto system for those are just too limited.
  20. you can set up a template plan with all the saved views already included.
  21. Related to that is, I wish Chief would put the joist direction and bearing lines on separate layers oob.
  22. Nice one Scott, never thought of doing it that way. Right now I have to use cad details and notes to get the point across and the 3d is not correct--just flat. Sure wish Chief would give us sloping decks that actually frame correctly.
  23. I usually need a beam for those so just draw a ceiling beam
  24. Scott, I'm happy you are doing videos again,. a good laugh is priceless.
