DRAWZILLA

I run into this every so often and the floor joist just won't change direction. I then turn off auto floor and ceiling framing and delete those floor joists and add them manually. Don't forget to use the bearing line when needed or mark a wall as bearing. Sometimes its a mixture of several tools.

20 min. is too short for me, it will be tough to keep in any time limits. We have so much fun, we really don't notice where the time went. We also learn so much, you can't find anywhere else.

70 is ok, but not more, just a little slow, but I also turned on shadows, bloom, ambient, I also set up my video card using chief.

I find the opposite is true, I always keep that on the fastest

no , it's been around a few versions.

Larry, I hope it all works out for you, but you are thinking from behind by getting older Zeons. I think about the future and know I will need a new system every so many years to keep thinks running smoothly. There comes a time when just replacing things isn't working in your favor. Too many bottlenecks can only be solved by a new motherboard and a system that flows freely and fined tuned. Good luck buddy.

There are several laser measuring device's that work. Check with Chief on which one's work but I have been using Disto and never had any problems. Just be aware, there is nothing for measuring outside to property lines in Room Planner, you have to use paper for that. It takes me longer to measure a project using room planner, but when transferring to Chief, its already laid out, so a time saver there.

Can't you go to the window and under the label tab, just mark labels to show the individual labels, and not the mulled unit label, even if they are mulled.

go ahead and try to print it to "PDF" , a lot of times those lines go away in the final print.

YES, Just set it up that way in the framing DBX

Not sure what your answer is, but I know when I hardwired my computer to my modem , never had any problems again, and was much faster.

Any one try this cpu tool to limit what's going on in the background. Looks like it could help some. https://bitsum.com/portfolio/cpubalance/?fb=1

I remember Chief telling me it was ok to just bring your templates forward a few years back, but now they say always start a new template with the new profile plan.

Mark, I wonder if Larry was using an old profile plan, I create new template plans with every new version from the new profile plan.

very nice analysis Graham, interesting for sure. Funny thing, I am not seeing the lag but I always have my very nice analysis Graham, funny thing is I always have my Active layer display options on all the time and don't notice any lag as bad as you guys are.

Wouldn't the "Edit wall intersections" tool fix that siding coming through to the interior wall, I use that tool to fix a lot of those lines.

Chief has some of those in the lib.

Not sure what you mean by " Disclosure tables"? Haven't heard that term.

Gotcha, good luck,

Bob, are you saying you would do a whole new house for 800 bucks? How do you survive at those rates. You must do a lot of business.

I like to lock it for safety and highly recommend it, you can lock the layer or the cad block.

Put that cad block, and unblocked lines, on a separate layer so you know where they are, and lock it if you find yourself losing lines.

Now that the king of hot keys(Scott) is gone, hot keys just blow.

I just use a cad mask set behind the floor plan, so when you remove a wall, the dotted line cad mask will automatically show up. There is a video on Chief's web site.

You can try to restore windows and see if that brings it back.
