Why aren't you using X12 Dermot?

Did you let your SSA lapse?  

While I can't personally vouch for any of these sources,

if you scroll down the Offering Services forum there are

posts offering 3D design services. Also @PH_Decor_Design 

has offered CA compatible 3D models in the Symbols

and Content forum.

Why would anyone want the door at an angle to the floor?

Self closing?  

Only 10 terabytes? Geez Charles, what are you backing up? The library of Congress. 

Don't know if I would trust an antique HDD (with

all those moving parts that can fail) as a back-up

drive, but I do use my older SATA SSD drives as

super flash drives. All you need is a SATA to USB

adapter cable and you can use your old internal

SSD drive as an external storage device.

Very handy. 

Turns out that if you have Windows 10 you have

a screen recording tool included in the software.

When was the last time you scrolled all the way

to the bottom of the Start Menu? That's where it's

located disguised as the "XBox Game Bar". You

can also access it by holding down the "Windows"

key and then hitting the "G" key.

Don't know if it's robust enough to record Chief

sessions though. I did a quick test of a modeling

session in Chief and it worked fine for the action

in the window that was being recorded, but the

opening any new drop down menus or browsers

in the window did not show up on the recording.

But what the hey, it's there and it's free. Give it a

shot. Maybe it can be of use to you.

Videos only show when everything goes right. What some people need to see is video where everything goes wrong and they show how they fix it. IHO

Then you need to check out @dshall's YouTube

channel.   You've pretty well summed up his

modus operandi. Sorry Scott 

Renderrabbitt....? 

I like it. I think Newell may be on to something here. 

This is a slippery slope for sure.

Without getting political I can only 

say that increasing the population

density of neighborhoods that don't

have the infrastructure to support

the increase is a recipe for trouble.

IMHO

Corel VideoStudio X10 has a nice live screen capture feature.

Dell Alienware. $4000 and yes I do mustitask. Screen 1...Client info screen with selections, site phots, etc.  Screen 2... Plan view  Screen 3.... Camera/elevation views, library

If you don't mind, how loud is the computer.

I have read some reviews that the fans are noisy. 

Many moons ago I did something sort of like that.

Use your bird's eye picture as the background and 

tweak your camera position so that your Chief

model is in the proper orientation for the picture.

God love you guys, but when you start hashing out

these macros I might as well be reading this stuff. 

More than ever I am convinced that macros should have a forum of their own.

Don't want to range too far afield here but

@CharlesVolz you have a typo (an extra "lot")

in the 4th paragraph. Just a FYI.

Don't know how many of you have taken the

Customer Survey in the Announcements Forum?

Also don't know exactly who is compiling the

results, but it does afford one the opportunity

to input suggestions to improve the program.

I suppose It can't hurt to fill it out and ask for

the main improvements you would like to see.

I sent one in.

Berkeley was the first town to ban smoking in restaurants.

 

Now the ban is most everywhere.

 Even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn.

Berkeley was also the first town to ban the

Fire Dept. from having U.S. flags on their

fire engines. 

Don't believe that ban has been universally 

adopted.

Here is an example of what I consider to be the best CA PBR I've been able to create to date.

Nice work Graham.

BTW, how much does a bottle of that 400

year old Rembrandt signature wine go for?   

I think they are over-reacting. Just because the 

giant bankrupt energy provider nearly blew San

Bruno to kingdom come and almost burned down

the entire state last summer is no reason to fly off

the handle and ban natural gas. 

Don't know if it's an argument, but it looks

like a one sided conversation to me. The

guy is trying hard to make an impression

but the young lady seems disinterested.

Now that I think about it I've found myself

in his shoes before.

That is not correct ...

Is to. 

It's odd that your X11 "icons" would look like X9 "icons"

since the installation of X11 or any future update of X11

would automatically update the "icons".

Chief calls the "icons" buttons and you will find them @

C\Program Files\Chief Architect\Chief Architect Premier X11 (64 bit)\resources\buttons

There are hundreds of them. You could copy them all,

or just the ones you want from your employee's 'puter

and then paste them into the buttons folder on your rig.

You may be asked for administrative permission to 

overwrite the existing buttons. Also be aware that if you

are hand picking a few buttons to change, there are many

similar buttons. Be sure you are copying the correct ones.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but Chief has

it's own Screen Capture tool.

Would you happen to know where I can purchase trees from, aside from Chiefs 3D Library?

Thanks in advance.

Check out Xfrog.

I always knew it was ALDO's fault. 

Lots of good info Graham.
