You could try to run with the cover off to see if it's getting enough air, if it's getting too hot.

Can't remember the last time a computer I built

had the cover put on it. BTW, having the cover 

off doesn't always result in cooler operation.  

I'll be entering through the garage if it's all the same to you.

but is that the best way to get a hold of him?

The best way is to grab him by the lapels. 

Or you could type the "at sign" followed by his 

forum name.    @Joe_Carrick

Do you know of any sources for such square washers?  I haven't been able to find them in HD or Lowes.

HD has them.

There is a Wine Barrel in the Irrigation Library , you should be able to drop a sink in....

Of course there is. Gotta love Chief's library structure.

Where else would one look for a wine cask but in the

Irrigation library?

It would be great if there were more attic vents in the library. 

There are a handful of others in the core catalogs.

I was looking at them just the other day. Are these

not what you are looking for?

hi where is pint marker

i simply want to rotate an object like 8 or 9 degrees 

Typo. he meant point marker.

Why limit yourself to just one corner?

Looks like it was back in 2014 that I

had a play with a glass house. Let the

contractor worry about how to actually

build it. 

I bought the Vehicles bundle. I couldn't be happier. 

If you are going to do believable exterior views you

need believable vehicles or your images will suffer.

The bundle includes 81 symbols for $37. That works

out to 45 cents per symbol. You get all manner of

cars from sedans to exotics. You also get trucks, RV's,

motorcycles, boats & trailers and even license plates

and burn out skid marks.  A small price to pay to add a

touch of realism to your renders.

...We are also trying to work with Nvidia to see if they can help us find a solution for this problem.  When we last spoke to them, they said they could not reproduce the problem.  Unfortunately, they were not actually using a 3000 series card on Windows 11 when they tried. 

I find this totally incredible. I get it that there is a

shortage of 3000 series cards on the market, but

Nvidia doesn't have one to put in their test rig?

I am working on a remodel right now that the homeowner said they had the original plans for. I kid you not...pencil sketches on a 4 sheets of 8.5 x 11 graph paper. The house is about 20 years old, and that's what it was built from.

Sounds like you got the deluxe plan set Joey. 

Pretty sure I posted this before, but when I got

my little slice of heaven here the sweet lady who

owned the property had started a complete redo

of the place without getting any permits. The

interior was gutted and there was no sign of any

plans. When I asked if there were any plans she

said "oh yes" and gave me this page (with a

straight face).

Cool man. Not everybody is willing to share their best grass with just anyone.

But again that is my preference and I am wondering what peoples preferences are when viewing the two renders.

 

 

I can confirm that you are not losing your mind. 

The X12 render is far superior to the X13 one.

So I've been using my 4th string computer

out in the garage. It's an old machine with

a dual boot setup with Windows XP Pro &

Windows 7. It won't support Chief X13 but

X12 runs fine on it. Recently when I exit 

the program I've been getting this annoying

APPCRASH error message after the program

closes. If I click on check online for a solution

the computer gurgles for awhile and then does

nothing. It's no big deal, just an additional click

to close the message but I'd like to get rid of it.

Wow! You guys all think that you're listening to Iron Butterfly.

Maybe I'm misreading these responses.

I don't know if this is some sort of evil Rorschach test,

Hi Rich.

 

I think I can make them work. Will check that.

 

Have a great day.

 

That would really be a nice touch.

I'll probably pop for this one either way.

Damn that's nice. Do the headlights work? 

Please don't take any offense but I was literally 

taking out the trash when I came across this

rogues gallery from years gone by. Enjoy?

I guess this isn't what you were looking for then.

Good luck on the project. My current office for the next 9 months is going to be dusty.

That looks like some serious hardpan.

BTW, I could swear that your hair is growing. 

I believe @Christina_Girerd is also located in that neck of the woods.

...Also the step from kitchen to the living room is 8". Code max. in California is 7-3/4". Not to get too picky but that is also an abrupt floor level change. Is there any reason not to make that 6"?

While we aren't being too picky, I must say

that those stools on the near end of the

island look pretty sketchy to me.

Thanks for the link Jacob. Disabling automatic

updates using the Local Group Policy Editor

worked like a charm. I did not know you could

do that there and I'm not a fan of mucking about

in the Registry.

....It is also possible that you just need to update windows 10 as some of the older versions do not support a high enough Shader Model.

I'd bet against this one Chop. If you know a way

to keep Windows 10 from updating itself I would

love to hear it. Aside from being marooned on a 

deserted island if you are connected to the web

you will be upgraded whether you like it or not.
