  1. Can you post a plan with a saved camera so we can look at your settings?
  2. You might verify you have the latest video driver. If that does not solve it, reach out to our tech support group to help troubleshoot.
  3. This sounds like a possible memory leak. There have been a number of updates since X15. You might see if this happens in X16.2
  4. Once you create the Style Palette, there are several settings you can control on how they are transferred. In the attached Style Palette, you can see some of these settings; I isolated the 'handle' settings.
  5. You might try the Chief Architect Substance Tile Builder. Here's a link to learn more
  6. David, it seems to work for me. Verify in your preferences your computer supports 'hardware ray tracing'. Otherwise, give our support group a call.
  7. Have you tried the 'delete newel' tool? Select the railing at the newel you want to remove, then use the 'move newel' tool in the edit tool bar, then the 'delete newel' tool.
  8. If you find yourself dimensioning to countertops often, you can 1) change your dimension default to only pickup countertops or preferably, 2) create a specific dimension default for that purpose (and save that in your template plan). In the attached image, you can see that the end-to-end dimension is set to only pickup countertops when used.
  9. Your default ceiling height for the foundation was set at 20”. I changed the default to 96”; then on one side it appears you wanted a crawl space? I changed those rooms to a ~42” ceiling – and set them to NOT have a floor. In an elevation view, I used the wall break tool and adjusted those walls upward. Hope that helps.
  10. Michael, X16 will be released today (June 25) around noon PT.
  11. Elliot, there is a bonus modern fireplace catalog on the 3D Library. You can also make your own fireplace using the 3D solid tools. This render below is from the Saguaro sample plan made with 3D solids.
  12. Here's a benchmark graph Ryan mentions https://www.chiefarchitect.com/blog/computer-for-design-and-gaming/
  13. Gene, if open the sample plan, look in the CAD details and you will find that flashing.
  14. Here's a video on Apron sinks https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1552/placing-an-apron-sink.html?playlist=87
  15. Here's a video that may help
  16. You can select the specific members to exclude from the schedule by unselecting “Include in Schedule”. This will turn off automatic framing however.
  17. This issue should be resolved in X16 (due out end of Q2 2024)
  18. Trees/plants will be visible through glass when using physically based ray trace in version X16 when you set the plants to NOT rotate with the camera. (X16 is planned for release in late Q2 2024)
  19. If you use the Material Painter in component mode, you should be able to paint the riser.
  20. We are adding the ability to move newel posts in X16 (due out in late Q2). They can be repositioned with in the railing using a new move tool found in the edit toolbar or by clicking on the newel and pressing the tab key. Here’s a brief video. Deck-Newel.mp4
