  1. My setup is in my signature. The video card is an RTX 3080Ti which seems to handle rendering at a very reasonable speed. Of course an RTC 4080 or 4080Ti would be significantly better. The GTX 970 will not perform physical rendering for you, so that needs to be changed for sure.
  2. You can still have automatic roofs by setting the default roof dialog to ignore the upper storey.
  3. Hit the nail on the head Gene. Let's hope that the manufacturer isn't a hole in the wall company that only has pictures or a gallery of their wonderful product and actually has that type of data on their website. A lot of retrofit manufactures (cheap cheap cheap) have scant information about what they do and how it's made.
  4. Hey thanks for that Robert. I have never experienced this strange behavior. The work around seems to work sometimes. I will report this though.
  5. Glen, those are the lot lines. From the intersection of the wall to the lot line is a valid dimension and should be accepted. I have done this lots of times with X-16

  7. Strangely enough, although it looks wrong in plan it is fine in 3D including the molding continuing around the jamb or through when flush with the wall. I then wondered, what if you didn't want the moulding on the door opening, but I haven't experimented with that yet.
  8. Has anyone heard from Eric lately? I just realized that I haven't seen any posts from him in quite a long time. I hope this isn't because of some bad news.
  9. The problem with this form is we need to be able to add custom fields for all the items that Joe listed, and some that he didn't.
  10. Nice colour though...
  11. You should also avoid vinyl siding, as when exposed to higher temperatures, well you know the result...
  12. My pleasure. By the way it would be a good idea to update your signature so that other members can see more about who you are, and what your hardware is like. Sometimes that can make a difference. To update your signature in Chief Architect, you need to access your account settings and update the signature field. You can do this by clicking on your username at the top right, navigating to Account Settings, and then finding the Signature option. Once there, you can modify or replace your existing signature. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Locate Account Settings: Click on your username or profile icon, typically found in the top right corner of the Chief Architect interface. Access Signature Settings: Within the account settings, find the section related to your signature or profile information. This might be labeled as "Signature" or "Profile". Update Signature: You can then edit or replace the current signature with your updated one.
