  1. I would stay away from the Zeon's and the quadro's
  2. You have to take care of these kinds of things by signing a contract ahead of time., then no questions about what you provide.. Just don't give it to him or her, if you never agreed to it. Of course if you want more work you might re-think it. Whatever is best for you.
  3. anything Alienware has been my choice for many years. they are gaming machines and that is what is best for running Chief. Never had any problems
  4. NV idea has a new driver since 12-7-17, try that, about every month they have new drivers.
  5. I'm running the 1709 version without any problems so far.
  6. I haven't seen any of that also.
  7. I would have to see your roof plane DBX to see what exactly is going on but wouldn't you put a beam there to hide it anaway?
  8. Thanks for that, I didn't know, check it out.
  9. I use a digital level and it gives me the exact roof pitch, I put it on the underside of a rafter for the reading but if you have a lot of soffits where your from then it get a little tougher , Sometimes I will use the fascia to get the pitch.
  10. Chief doesn't do joists hangers automatically, you have to add them manually or use a cad detail for them
  11. You can also get some info from the materials list. I have no idea how its done in Canada.
  12. Well, I'm still learning after 13 years. Good luck. I took a couple of classes when I started and that was enough to go with it. Everyone has their own way of doing the setup, and I know of no one that does it just like me and I can't work with anyone else's setup. It is fun though.
  13. There are some reasons to turn off framing b/c Chief will not downsize a 2x12 hip in a 2x6 rafter system correctly and it will show through the ceiling.,
  14. It could use some enhancements but works good at this point.
  15. Mouse driver also caused me some slowness lately, it was the Bluetooth mode, switched to usb mode and worked good again. Logitech mx master.
  16. Thanks I'll keep an eye out.
  17. I'm also not having any problems with the undo tool, Chief has greatly improved it over the last few versions. I think it's something else going on there.
  18. I have noticed sometimes those lines are there ,and they will disappear when you print to pdf, in which it prints to a higher resolution automatically..
  19. I have that killer card and haven't seen any problems yet, also 1gig speed, maybe I haven't put a heavy load yet.
  20. here is a quick answer, I think it's a bug right now my sound isn't working but look closely just remove the roof and ceiling from that little room and it will apply the roof correctly then just patch that area with a roof. I think it' a bug o report it haven't seen that one before.
  21. Start out using automatic roof tool, then use a manual roof plane for that front overhang. add brackets from the lib. or create your own from p-solids
  22. try turning on automatic framing for walls , floor, ceiling, and roof in the framing defaults.
