Here's a possible solution to x13 crash issue from a FB user: "Alan Lehman Try this: If you are having crashing problems with X13, these steps took care of the problem for me (95%). 1. Restore Nvidia Control panel to default settings, remove Chief from program settings. 2. Put chief back into program settings, I only changed Open GL rendering to use the Nvidia card (but I doubt that matters with X13) 3. Be sure Windows Graphic Settings has Chief set to High Performance."

Yes. My MSI RXT3080 64gb x13, windows11 2TB SSD laptop, no longer functions in 3d with out crashing to your message. It to gradually worsened. Several others have mentioned the same on FB, all with RXT3070 or 3080 laptops MSI and ASUS systems. Contacted CA Tech, sent System Summary and Messages reports as well as disabling apps and drivers they suggested and rebooting to clear cache to no avail, but they are continuing to look into this. I was concerned about Onedrive so good to know you've already tried that. All other programs are working fine to include Twin Motion. I'm hoping that if a few more people describe this problem and their setup, we can find a common denominator and help resolve this issue. I'm currently working off an older computer until we can get this resolved so any info would be helpful, to many of us.

That is perfect! thank you so much. Something i should have known but never ran into before. Appreciate everyones patience!

Attached is the base plan for roof build problem solve. Recap: Trying to us auto-build roof for plans with multiple pitches. This plan is 6/12 with noted rear porch pitches at 5/12 for second story window clearance. This configuration creates roof problems as noted on the two front bumpouts with raised plates. Changing the rear 5/12 to 6/12 corrects the problem but doesn't solve the issue. Same issue on other plans as well. I'm hoping there is some way to lock a setting so that the overhang depth is adjusted vs the base line moving in auto build so as not to manual build in this situation. Thank you Jones Roof Test.plan

Thank you and will do...

I do appreciate everyones help and If there is a way to upload or reduce this 80MG project, I'd be happy to do that. Although I've been a CA user since 1997, this is the first time using this forum so appreciate the suggests. (hoping signature auto-inserts)

All the roof pitches in the problem area are 6/12. The program is moving the baseline in which is off setting the ridge. I experimented with changing the rear 5/12 pitch to 6/12 does correct the problem but i do need the pitch change for second story egress windows in this instance. Attached is an overview of the first floor with the 5/12 pitched roof area hatched and all the rest is 6/12. In this view I've changed the 5/12 to 6/12 and all the problem areas have corrected themselves. Can you think of another setting or lock i can put on the roof/wall to avoid this? I can build the roof manually (and adjust overhangs accordingly) and it's fine but hoping there is a way to auto-build since this is, unfortunately, a common scenario for us. Also attached are two screen shots of the settings auto-build has for the problem area and offset ridge. Gettting closer so thanks again. CompuDesign x13 RXT 3080

PS, all three houses have pitch changes at hips. Never have this problem on single pitch roof projects.

I agree and saw the same. Those are temporary invisable walls so I tried interior walls and reversed them and still same results. I'm working on a simpler (smaller) version so i can upload it if nessesary. Unfortunately this is a rework of an existing plan so no telling what may have been moved but i still think it could be related to pitch changes at the rear and the auto roof trying to level out the fascias but just guessing. There are some walls with the baseline off and manually adjusitng these reverts to original postion when auto rebuilt. I'm checking roof planes to see if I've locked something that's forcing the rebuild incorrectly. Everything works fine with front bump-out plate height the same as main body but stepping up might be giving the fascia a place to break and both sides are adjusting differently. Pure guess so still working on it because this is the 3rd house with this issue. Thanks for reviewing! CompuDesign x13 RXT 3080

This project is quite large and reproducing small portions corrects the issue as you've shown. Althought the pitches are correct and base line is positioned properly, this roof does intersect other roof planes of different pitches and i'm getting the "roof structure does not touch top of plate" message. I'll look into this further and see if i can reproduce it on a smaller scale. Thank you for your help! CompuDesign x13 RXT 3080

I'm trying to let auto roof build bumpouts that are 1' higher than the main structure. To let the hip continue over the lower roof and plane out, i've built temporary walls to create the higher plates. I know i can do this manually but with several bumpouts on this project, it would be nice not to have to manually build with each adjustment. With plate heights all the same, the roof builds fine. When the bumpout is raised, an extra hip and ridge is created and the main ridge line moves off center. This is the case with all the bumpouts on this and the last project. Any suggestions?
