Main menu 3d Camera view options or this tool icon

Try installing the Paint color library, its not that big and shouldn't slow you down.

I forgot the auto update of layout views!!!

I like a lot of the new features! Well heck all of them! My fav's - Elevation reference for objects Object painter-match properties Auto Story pole dimensions in elevations Colored elevations to layout Auto detail and layer improvements for roofs Stair display improvements! Rendering and Raytrace sun options per camera!!! Bump and push objects to casings of doors and windows! Plus the big bonus of the software working faster! thumb up All 3d views are up very quickly! Especially the line style view! Thank you Chief! a great improvement in making, detailing, and presenting our designs!

Hey Cory, sent you an email, lets chat.

In the dimension defaults, under locate objects, select framing sides and the centers if you wish.

Sweet! Will give them a try. thank you for your kindness Facer!

looks like brick walls, 4 or 6" or a custom thickness. measure the dwg wall thickness and figure out an appropriate wall type. or make a new one to work

I would try adjust (increase) the emissive property of the color/ texture on the ceiling.

Jeff that is sweet! thank you! Does it tile well in chief? or is there a noticeable repeat in texture image?

What is the total footage of the building? Need pdf's or scan's Andy how can you put a number on this ? No info

First adjust the window default setting to bump at 0. At the bottom of the window default dbx. Make sure your bumping and pushing are turned on, move them together. Select first window, hold shift key and select 2nd unit, click make block tool.

I did the upgrade to 10 and no issues. I think its great so far, actually like it.

Go to build roof dbx and rebuild fascia and roof trim, that should remove leftover trim.

Use a pony wall, set the height of the lower wall off the floor.

I really like my Asus G750! Core I7 2.4ghz, 12 gig ram, 1T media drive and I added an SSD for the primary C drive. Boots in 8 seconds! 2 gig Nvidia card You wont be disappointed, good quality build and great battery life.

It has to do with the red color you are using. If you want it to not to go black use a lighter color of red. RGB color (R-255,G-70, B-70) it appears after testing this that if your green, blue is below 60-65 it looks black.
