Well, I certainly got an answer to the question "is this normal?" The answer is ... YES.

I'm new to using terrain tools. I have installed a terrain for a plan. While working on non-terrain items in this plan often, but not always, the update terrain icon appears. To remove it I have to click on the build terrain tool. Is this normal?

Thanks

Well, I certainly got an answer to my question, "Is this normal?" Answer is ... yes. Thanks to all, and Dermot for your eventual explanation. Kbird1 gets kudos for explaining what the forever nebulous "Behavior Indicators" means.

HUMM....   Has something changed ?   Pretty sure your previous comment was also in reference to X12

 

 

Very confusing for a new user and frustrating for the rest of us who have been using the software for a while. 

Yes, very frustrating; I've been using since 1993 V1. When Terrain tools became available, I ignored them because I did not need to use them. I'm just now learning I'm not too interested in using them again.

Thanks, but I'm not sure this helps. As stated something has affected a change to the terrain and the icon means that a build is pending. I suspected that but what does changing a cabinet size have to do with the terrain? I'm doing normal plan object changes, not terrain object changes, like cabinet resizing when the icon shows.

Tools>Screen Capture>Capture Screen.

You can drag a rectangle to capture the area you want.

This automatically saves to your -My Images folder in your Chief Data folder. 

Thanks, I don't see the auto-save feature ... I have to manually save it ... ?

"File", "Export", "Export Picture". It will capture the displayed window.

Am aware.

Windows 10 has the Snipping Tool which lets you capture specific areas of the screen.

Yes, I am aware.

I'm not worried about judgements at this point in my 78 YO life!  How did you guys post the picture of the wall directly in your post?

Thanks, Graham and Eric.  That was the problem, however I must say someone must have hacked me because I did not do it!

Where is the texture switch?

No it does not.  All of this started in the last few days.

The texture does show correctly in the thumbnail preview.  I am posting a sample plan file.

Driver is latest available version and is working.

I'll check the video card but it is fairly decent:  2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Thanks, I will correct my signature.  I did provide that info, however.

Textures are not rendering properly in standard or physically based techniques;  they are showing texture but seem to have a solid over-color.  This just came out of nowhere! How do I correct this? I use X11 Premiere. Thanks.

Some how I lost control of vertical and horizontal slide bar controls...they disappeared.  I probably inadvertently selected or de selected something.  Anyone know how to fix this?
