    I'm not a Mac user but have you done a hardware test on your RAM?  I believe there is a built in test on some Macs at least during boot.

     

    Your type of issue is often driver or other software related but I've just replaced some RAM on one of my home servers (not EEC as desktop hardware) as it was starting to have infrequent file corruption issues on very large file transfers. It turned out to be just over 20 bits (not bytes) out of the 128GB was faulty and further testing found just one of the four sticks was the cause.  It was only when the OS disk caching used so much memory to cache the error appeared.

     

    It's rare to have faulty memory but its worth ruling it out at least as it does happen.

    That's good advice!  I did get it checked and everything passed, so the techs were baffled, but they figured the motherboard was dying. I found the advice to downgrade to 64 GB from a user on a Mac forum who had done extensive testing and arrived at that conclusion.

    I have not had time to try it on my MacBook Pro yet.  But I plan on it.  thanks.

    I'm sure it's not the same, but I kept having crash problems on my 128GB iMac and it was directly related to that RAM. Scaled back to 64 and no problems since. In my case, the RAM was 4 mismatched 32's from OWC. Bought 2 new 32's and bingo. If all else fails, might be worth checking into. Even if just reseating the RAM. 

  3. One way would be to select the walls you want, and create a materials list from the "selection". The "Siding" category should give the square footage, and it doesn't include windows or doors.

    Curious if 'Interior dimensions' is available in X12?  

    Yes. But I forgot that "volume" was not yet an option in the room schedule in X12. My apologies. :wacko:

    However, it is weird that your Interior Area (Sq Ft) is not calculating.
