Here are 3 that I found. I don't remember if one of those worked better. funky siding wow 2.zip

But the file does not have an accurate Pattern file so you can keep your name. I don't know how to do an alternate pattern file. I just paint. "Once rockets go up who cares where they come down. It's not my department say Werhner von Braun".

You must now change your name to Mothra.

I attended one of these classes after about 4 months of using the software. We were on X1 then. I found it very valuable at that point in my learning process. If you are proficient with the program, you will definitely learn something in the class. The thing that about Chief Architect is that you don't know what you don't know until someone shows you a really easy way to do something. I wish they were doing one of the specialty classes at the show like the Kitchen/Bath class.

There was a thread recently where someone was looking for a similar siding.... siding on the walls.zip

Turn these off and your problem goes away. I don't have more time to mess with this but I am still curious. It is probably only one thing that is the problem. Maybe the glass one?

I opened it again and in trying to move things in your elevation I am getting the freezing with labels on or off. There is about 12 seconds of freezing on my machine but with labels on I had some longer freezes to the point of closing the window. I have been working with the file shown in the attached image without any problems. I have labels on and I do a lot of editing in elevation and 3d mode. My guess is that you have some issues based on a macro. I tried deleting the window and door macros on the front elevation but that did not help with the front elevation.

I just checked my setting for that long word thing and mine is set to Application Controlled. I strongly suspect that is the default because I had never ventured into that dark area before.

No problem and I am at home on my Sunday computer (not as fast as the specs in my signature). When was the last time you rebooted?

The print size is relevant to the output quality you desire. If this is print quality for a magazine or brochure they would probably want something like 300-600 dpi. With that in mind you would calculate the 300 dpi (dpi -= pixels per inch). 8.27 inches wide x 300 = 2481 A4 at 300 dpi = about 2500 pixels by 3300 pixels. Therefore you just need to set your output resolution to at least that size. Also, when you save the file, save as a .TIFF file rather than a jpg so as to not lose anything through compression.

What do you need it to do? If you want to be productive with presentation drawings, get a new computer. If you want it to be fast and be able to handle large files for con docs, get a new computer. X6 is very resource intensive and so unless you want it to bog down, get a new computer. If you only produce one set of drawings a year, try the Vista set up.

Thanks Glenn. You are a life saver.

I have done something to break this and I can't build a bacony on my second story. There is a label in the second floor near the stair tower called "Bad Balcony" where I can not figure out why it is not closed enough to create a balcony area. Thanks for looking. Alan Gheen RMD v2 new tower b 1.zip

Sweet. Thanks Bill.

More pics to describe the issue.

I am at a pretty messy stage with this 3d model so it won't help to attach a plan. What I am pointing to in the attached image is where a roof plane will intersect the curved wall of a tower element which goes through the roof plane. In my previous version of this I just cut the roof plane along the curve and made a segmented line with a lot of breaks to come close to the curved wall. I can, and will, do that again but I sure would like to have some one point to the curved cut in plan projection onto a roof plane tool...

I have been deleting a lot of my ranting before hitting the "POST" button due to that fact that a basic Google search for me comes up with my posts on this forum on the first page.

I don't know why that worked for you. Without my cross hairs in perspective view I can edit in 3d.

Hardware edge smoothing?

At 7pm your sun should point to just north of west. Looks correct to me.

Post your plan. If someone else can move the desired object than it will be local to your computer as DJP is suggesting.

Did you, by any chance, first build the upper skylights and copy them to the lower roof?

Got it. You are too skinny. Change the thickness and the opposite side will not bleed through. Or, convert it to a solid.
