  1. I'm not seeing any slowdown, must be some setting or your computer
  2. It appears that a while back Calif. has included the construction assemblies in their free program now, and couldn't find a separate free program for that . No wonder I haven't needed that for a while .I guess they don't want people coming up with their own methods of assemblies. Here is a link to our free title 24 program if that helps. Chief does not export to this ,but it does export to Rescheck. http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2016standards/2016_computer_prog_list.html
  3. with X10 newest update, you can use Sketchup 2018 files.
  4. Try to call that room a porch and see if that helps
  5. No way to get the construction assembly r- values for walls, ceilings in Chief, but you can export to Rescheck to get those. Here in calif. there are some free programs to do it.
  6. usually it's the soil report that determines the footing depth, sometimes the city will have their own minimum depth
  7. Make sure you send it into to support or it won't get fixed
  8. You can also look up fire rated assembly's and sound rated on the internet, lots to find there
  9. Thanks Mick, sorry I thought they were talking battered walls. Sloping wider at the bottom.
  10. First turn on inner dims. You have changed the name of some dims, so it' difficult to tell what you are doing.
  11. How does that work using doors and windows?
  12. light intensity (lumens) does matter for energy calculations and if you might export to rescheck.
  13. Call it a porch in the room type box , then change the name of the room to whatever you need
  14. I use a Logitech mx master, works great and you can hookup via usb or Bluetooth wirelessly. It is a bit pricy (100) though.
  15. no way to change it that I know about, but we have been working on it ,with suggestions to Chief.
  16. I will run into trusses about 30% of the time, mostly conventional for me. Any bearing walls on the 2nd and above floors will usually have beams under
  17. Thanks Graham, that's all good to know and very insightful. Even though i haven't had any problems, i am now changing my lights from 100 to 40 which is more than enough for me
  18. wow, i had no idea. the 900 cards are still good
  19. You rig looks just fine to me , it's your video card. Might cost a few hundred for a new 1000 series one
  20. Contact Chief, that one will be tough to find.
  21. I also still put them under all parallel walls bearing or not. just b/c walls weigh more than not.
