  1. Hoping someone knows how to adjust the library preview panel to be "two" panels wide rather than one strip. I have enough monitor room to display the folders on the side then the filter results and preview in a new column beside it, rather than the 3 items being on top of each other. I can't seem to adjust these other than vertically. Thanks!
  2. Based on the last sentence, really what Chief needs if you aren't rendering is just one single super fast thread on your CPU then, to make those processes and layouts work more efficiently?
  3. I too felt weird typing that. It's 8gb. Apparently Speccy can only read up to 4gb graphics cards and thats what I had up at the moment. What do you do for your sections then? I add CAD elements, text etc, and like to send it to layout using plot lines. Do you recommend I use live view?
  4. I've got a 4gb gtx 1080, using x11. As I mentioned above I'll upload a plan when I have a chance. I never usually experience slowness in plan view, but cross sections with cad elements.
  5. I'll definitely check out the NVME, even if I just reinstall chief onto it rather than windows. The layout in particular has a PDF on it that made me post, which I do know is the issue but I do have plans where when updating my plot line elevations it can cause some delays. I'll have a look around and see about uploading it. I usually add a bit of text on the layouts themselves but nothing dramatic. I also don't have many 3D objects in my files such as furniture etc. But in sections views I can get program delays/slowness with moving cad elements etc. I've changed chief to have limited undos as at one point I thought it might be slowing the software down but might look into the ramdisk idea as well. thanks for your reply by the way, I appreciate it.
  6. My CPU is a 3.4ghz. I use SSD's, my ram is DDR4. Do you ever experience this issues? comparing our CPU's you do have a larger cache. Are you suggesting I upgrade my solid state?
  7. I've been using chief since X6. Why will chief never use all of my computer memory? At most it uses ten percent, then goes to not responding when dealing with high detailed layouts, refreshing plot line elevations, generating layout previews etc. Can anyone help me to get chief to use more memory? I've tried setting the process to use more in task manager, it does help a bit. Chief also only ever uses a small percentage of my CPU if I'm not rendering I have a Ryzen 7 1700x 8 core CPU, 32GB of ram. Chief uses 1.3gb and 6% of my CPU max. I wish we had these settings like we do number of cores used in a render,
  8. Never mind, I found the option; for any future users: baseline angle under general tab in roof. This allows for a roof pitch opposite the baseline direction
  9. How exactly did you "tilt" the baseline? I seem to only be able to rotate it, which then changes my slope direction. Thanks!
  10. Can't believe I didn't see that. Solves the problem, Thanks
  11. Hi there I'm wondering if it is possible when drawing manual dimensions if one can choose the layer that they will be on before I put them in. For example. I've gone and done all of my floor plans with manual or automatic dimensions. Now I want to do a roof plan with dimensions, when I go to the layer set it pulls in the manual dimensions from before. It is possible while wanting to put in my next dimensions on the roof plan to already have them in the dimensions roof plan layer? Or would I have to change all my dimensions from before into a floor plan dimension layer, then start my roof plan and turn the new layer off? Thanks!
