Is anyone noticing files opening faster in Windows 10. Maybe it is my head cold and everything else is moving slower?

I like this feature. The task bar has an indicator under the items that are currently open.

It keeps files and even the desktop icons. No reinstall of existing programs although I have only started up CA and Firefox so far.

I was out of my office all day. I spent about 20 mins in the morning getting the install downloaded and started. Walked away all day and finished up in about 15 mins when I returned. I did not customize any settings yet.

Where are you? I am in Carmel.

Don't wait. Download it and go. I just did a web search for windows 10 and what to do and there was a link. X7 is up and running. Some fudging to get my second monitor to be recognized but that was all (so far).

In your first post, is that a raytrace?

This is how it opened for me. The only thing that did not come through was your backdrop image. I am not sure if there is some way that the backdrop is creating the dark image.

If you double your RAM and get the 980 card are you still under your max. price? I have an SSD but I really don't know if I am noticing the performance boost it gives me.

check your ambience?

Also, do you have a sun in the scene?

This is really easy to do within CA. Just make a rectangular prism the shape measuring the wide area at the base. Now go to an elevation view and draw another rectangular prism to use as a cutting block. Follow the bouncing pics.

1.

Make your shape and size

2.

Make your cutting shape in an elevation view

3.

Mirror your shape

4.

Make your shapes into  solids for the subtraction process.

5.

Cut with the solid subtraction tool

6.

Rinse, repeat.

Post your plan file. Without your plan file it is mostly wild guesses. Also, you complete specs on your computer may reveal something.

Your triangle size is too big. This gets the fences to work but I don't know if you can navigate the file still.

I live in a place where CYA (cover your a$$) is very important. What I would do at this point is to include an A and B scheme. A being what she asks for and B is an alternative design. Email these each time and create a paper trail.

Some days I feel like I don't bill for my drafting service either.

How big are your arrows? They look small enough but that may be the cause. If the arrows are larger than the space measured there can be no dimension. Maybe, since you have your dimension text in the dimension line it will not allow it even with the arrows less than the space contained?

I have turned down as much work as I have taken on in the last year. Everyone in my local area is buried and contractors are telling people they can't touch new work for 6 months.

Did you try clicking on that triangular interior wall with the Wall Material tool? Just guessing at an easier solution than PS.

Scott, Fast Web is free with an account. Yes, you need a password so therefore you need to golf with someone who works at First American Title. Lose to them badly and sing their praises. Maybe even buy lunch.

Alright already, I will send Christine an email and see what I can do.

Once you set the default for the wall material you only need to click once on each wall in a 3d view. The other item that would need tweaking is the baseboard or crown. I did not try adjusting the thickness of the base to get it to show.

What kind of help do you need? What do you have so far and what are you trying to get?
