Go to the Tools menu, then select Floor/Reference Display On the line you have "Reference Display Layer under Layer Set, make sure the Plan Name is the same as the one below it. Then make sure that line is on Automatic and XOR is checked. (See above) Click OK, then go from the first floor to the foundation floor and it should show you the 1st floor reference in red.

If you are good with the road and parking lot being the same material, I typically start with a polyline road and draw out the complete perimeter of the parking area and roads connecting it. Then I add medians as needed for islands. For example, if you parking lot goes all the way around your building, then the building will be on a large median. Your median may even form once side of a road depending on how your parking lot is configured.

Use the rainbow tool on the screen material. Then go to Properties and make sure your Emissive is set to 0. It might just barely have any, but set it to zero. You can then adjust the transparency in the same tab to fit what look you are going for. See if that helps any.

Can you post the .plan file so we an see your lighting, sun and camera settings?

I only have that in an X16 version, but you are welcome to it if you can use it. Custom Mantel.calibz

I have been working on some new items for my X16 library. I have attached the EV Chargers I have. I don't have them in X15, but you can download the models from the 3D Warehouse pretty easily to create your own if you don't have X16 yet. EV Chargers.calibz

Here is a good source for PBR textures I found which has separate files for Normal Maps, Bump Maps, Ambient Occlusion Maps, and Roughness Maps for Chief Architect. The textures are free to download. https://lightbeans.com/en/

Try lowing your sunlight level to about 1000 and see if that helps

It is actually a reflection that looks like OSB. Change the material to a matte finish or change the roughness to 100% using the rainbow tool, and it goes away.

OK. We have been seeing the same issue with the Intel 14900K, but it sounds like your issue may be different. With those chips you had to back the Performance Active-Core Ratio (P-Core) down a bit to resolve the issue. When the graphics card called for more power, it cause the CPU to shut down the computer to protect it. I found the best solutions to try came from gaming forums since those guys deal a lot with high end systems and spend a lot of time tweaking things. Best of luck to you. I know it is frustrating.

What CPU chip are you running?

I have had great luck with Honeybook for my client portal. It keeps all of our communications and files in one centralized place and once you set it up with personalized templates, it make onboarding and and obtaining signed contracts a breeze. It offers invoicing, but I still use QuickBooks for that. It is not perfect, but they seem to be pumping out new features pretty often, and they are open to suggestions for improvements.

In the IAMDesign Catalog is some cable railing. When you are in the railing dialog box, change your railing type to "Panels", then click on the Newel/Baluster tab on the side and under the Panels area click on the library button. You can type in cable and it should bring up all of your cable railing options. You can then add top and bottom rails if you prefer and change your newel posts to something appropriate.

Same here. Are you using a laptop or desktop? What kind of video card are you running?
