@325302054302543 Said they were sending plans to layout. My choices are also grayed out and X14 was the same. Only when sending vector images can you change to plot lines. @DBCooperyou are 100% correct.

If you are sending floor plans to layout this is normal in x15 from what my system is doing. Turn the colors off in the layout

Thanks. Ken Latham.

@plannedRITE Ethan, what is your center monitor model? I might change out my center monitor.

That looks nice. @Alaskan_Son is very talented.

I have had an Epson ET- 16500 for many years. I rarely have to buy ink for the super tank, and it's inexpensive. I have my computer run a batch file once a week to do a color print to keep the heads from clogging. I do the same with my wide-format printer. The Epson may be more expensive upfront, but you don't have to by the expensive cartridges. The person that said it has crap output likely doesn't keep it clean by having the system run a color print every week. Anyway, I see you bought the Brother. That should do fine as well. I would still have my computer run a batch file once a week to do a color print to keep the heads from clogging. Happy printing

I use Toggl to track time for each job and it's FREE unless you are a large company. For me it's much easier than Chiefs time tracker. There are other time trackers out there as well. My opinion is to use a third party program. Best of luck and have a GREAT weekend!

After a quick test everything seems snappy. I will let everyone know if I see a problem area.

This was an in person event. However, now that it is out of beta I will start testing.

I appreciate everyone's input. I will test on my laptop with the old version and desktop with the new release in the next few days. If anyone has noticed a speed difference between the last Beta and the last update please let me know.

During a class with about 60 people everyone was commenting on the sluggishness of the program with the last x15 beta version. The slowness was very noticeable. It seemed to be in the entire program. I have not started using X15 for production for that reason, so I don't remember the details from February. @Renerabbitt would be familiar with the details. @Joe_Carrick I do the same with the AV and it does make a difference in x14. I have excluded X15 as well I just have not been using the new version. Thanks for the input and ideas.

Was the slowness issue of X15 addressed in the latest update (25.2.0)?

@TeaTime Ok then materials are not the issue.

@BruceKC By chance, did you change the deck materials? If they are not framing materials then the deck won't frame. It makes it easier to help if you post the plan.

@BruceKC Post your plan, and I will take a look. I believe it is in your settings.

@KnotSquare Thanks for taking the time to create the video. This should help many users to understand programming the spacemouse .

Hi all, My space mouse is jumping around when I move from one room to another. I'm guessing it is a setting. Does anyone have a fix? Thanks in advance

@Chrisb222 Good catch! I just started searching to find the answer.

@rgardner If you have an 18 ft deck then you may only want to stagger near the center Look at the attached image to see how Chief is laying out their decking boards.

This can't be done automatically in Chief. Chief does not give us a minimum length for a deck board. Hence their pattern keeps repeating on what looks like a 16" stagger length. You may want to send this to suggestions@chiefarchitect.com. This has never bothered me, but it may for some others. The only way to do this as of today is to get the boards the length and stagger that you want and then copy the deck boards

@SBCWyoming I believe if you explode the dormer then you can use Vhampon fix.

Hello Everybody, I couldn't find anywhere to write a review of Rene’s quick tools. This seems to be the best place. Rene has done so much to help the Chief community with the free symbols and videos teaching new tricks. I personally thank him! I have bought all of his tools including his entire library. Rene’s tools save me so much time and taught me new ways to draw faster. He is always there to help if I have a question about his tools. His Entire Library has all of this quick tools and well thought out details that he has created over the years. The library contains well organized details, and symbols 2d & 3d. He included moldings and almost anything I could ask for from buying his package. Rene is updating all of his tools and the entire library package for x15. I started with the free items and then kept buying his tools. Each one saved me time. I finally decided to upgrade to his entire library. Rene deducted the cost of all of the items that I purchased from his entire library. It will take you a while to go through everything he has included. I'm still finding new things. If you have enjoyed his free symbols and tools, do yourself a favor and buy his quick tools or the entire library.

@jtcapa1 While it is not a review of the mouse look at any of the videos from @Renerabbitt. He shows the use in Chief and he shows the keyboard on screen. I'm still working with a new spacemouse pro, and it works like the video you denoted. I can say get off the fence and buy one. Best Ken

@RenerabbittThanks for your expert input. No doubt you are the spacemouse master and very talented when it comes to chief and so many other programs..

Hello All, I'm trying to find out how @Renerabbitt creates multiple menus from binding. Anyone who has seen his videos sees his great menu system. I'm trying to figure out how to use the modifiers to get the 2nd ring of the radial menu, It would be great. I figure it is just another menu, but I can't see how to get to it from the XML file or how to generate the modifiers. Such as the CTRL key on spacemouse with another CTRL key, if I'm understanding. I'm using the spacemouse pro. It looks like he is using the CTRL key on the mouse and a CTRL key as a modifier. Any Ideas, I'm lost in space.... Thanks in advance!
