Has the switch to a SaaS-only model increased overall sales, or have you seen a loss of customers due to the higher costs for small businesses and individual users? Offering the software for purchase, along with the SSA support subscription, would make it more accessible and set you apart from competitors like AutoCAD, which is the same annual price. As a hobby designer who bought the software back in X10, I do appreciate being able to keep my investment updated via the SSA subscription, but if it was $2k a year just to use it, that would put it out off consideration and I imagine that would be the case for potential one-person shops and individual buyers as well.

When I create an elevation the basement (level 0) exterior walls do not display but the interior is displayed. I can see them in 3D but they are just invisible in my elevations. No idea why. What am I missing?

I want to add lighting to deck stairs, on the riser, and have found nothing that works. Any suggestions or guidance? thanks,

My X14 is constantly freezing and I'm at a loss as to why. I use Windows 10 and have an RTX3080 GPU and 64GB of RAM, tons of HD space and no issues with any other application. Does anyone have any suggestions to the cause or tips for maybe fixing it?

We are starting the long journey to build a custom home in the Lake Adger area of Mill Spring, NC., and are looking for an architect to assist us in the process. We prefer someone that also uses CA for their plans as this will make collaboration much easier during the design process.

Fantastic. Thank you so much!

I've been unable to change the direction of a hardwood floor. I've tried changing the angle in offset and angle settings but nothing changes. I can see the pattern change direction in the preview but it just doesn't change the 3D view at all.

Are there any gains to a dual-Xenon CPU setup vs. say a single 8 core i7 for ray tracing performance? Or is it all about the total core count?
