Chief said maybe a windows update triggered it, it is now disabled so that should stop the issue.

Got it fixed, i had to disable this program Nahimic

Do you have RTX 3080

i installed a number of versions... so if i roll back it will just go back to one that didnt work either...

installed 460.79 dec 9, 457.51 dec 2, 465.55 sept 28, nothing works now for 3d camera...

i am going to install dec 9 version and see if that works

How would i roll back?

I just updated to the dec 15, 2020 driver update and now Chief wont even open a 3d camera, it just spins. I have escalated and put in a ticket, any other suggestions? HELP!!!

Another walk through example...

Michael, you weren't kidding..i had to save it 5 times for chief to save new time...how would you even know to do this after you saved it say 4 times and it didn't work? This took me about 21 mins to render, 1604 frames, 783k surfaces, 15 fps

Thanks Michael... I will try .. good tip

I want to do a walk through and stop and pause in certain views using a walk thru path, is there a way beyond slowing the speed after a camera?

thanks Michael

Yes I understand, when I spoke to su they said someone might have a download since my license is still valid, just not sure how to get from one computer to the other

thats why i need help, this link does not give me su2018

i have a license for sketchup 2018 and i have a new computer. you cant download sketchup 2018 anymore, anyone have a download for this?

It sure seems like chief doesn’t actually have people that understand real world construction standards... I 100% agree on truss heel.. Mitek the largest plate manufacturer for engineering plates for trusses and every other truss fabricator specifies truss heel height from underside of sheathing to top plate... so why are we even talking about this? It is the accepted industry standard ... Why doesn’t chief know this? just like prior to x12 you could not set stringer width! I think ca needs to hire a construction person to advise them and not hope it is ok...or maybe listen to their users a bit more.. maybe both

Yes I do...

I got my new desktop the other day Alienware Aurora R11 with Rtx 3080 with 32gb ram 1TB ssd drive wow is it ever fast. takes about 1s to render a water colour.. before my laptop took 5-10s i had a framing model with about 20k surfaces and I ray traced with 100 passes in just over 2 mins i also exported a spin video of a kitchen in water colour with a rotation angle of .25 degrees.. 60 fps, no problem at all... my laptop would only export about every 30-45 degrees because it couldn’t keep up.

As mentioned I do mostly remodels, my laptop is a few years old and works just fine to do an asbuilt on site but is struggling to keep up when I have a model with 700,000 surfaces. i mostly use pbr and wc to show customers their design... because I am using the design to get the remodel the ease of which I can do this and the result is important for me. Also I can then use past designs to show future customers how I can show them their new design Thinks like stairs drives me crazy... they never seem to work.. so ca needs to make these kind of things work! Anyhow I really like keeping up to date as @Alaskan_Son does and my new desktop computer lands next week... with a RTX 3080... bring on rtrt

I mainly do remodel design and what I do for window placement when doing the asbuilt plan at the home is measure to inside of windows and add 1.5” to account for frame and then measure to nearest wall and use Temp dimension to place and add 3/4”... easy peasy And if you can’t add in your head you just +.75 to the dimension you just lasered... it doesn’t get any easier than this, not sure what the big deal is?

I did download paint toolbar, not still getting the rest... how do you assign one of the colours

Hi Renee, i am trying to set up your cool paint setup and i am stuck on step 4, not sure what you mean by select your colour? You say there are 4 whites? Any clarification would be helpful

worked great thanks...

Eric, when i try and do this my shade is very segmented, my molding is smooth but when i add it to a polyline it becomes only 3 segments for curve?
