I do not know why that file is so big.  The symbols have relatively few faces. 

 

Anybody know why the file is 8.98 mb's?

Scott, 

Also I wonder why after opening the file, saving, then close file.  it ends up at  2.8mb's?

I have noticed this behavior for quite awhile.

make sure the setting for scaling icons is checked

mine are working properly.

you need to turn on the ceiling in the room dbx

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.
