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!

@Smn842Thank you for your input. The solution you pointed to works perfectly! I entered from x12-x15. This also explained why I would loose all of the programming since it would reset back to the default settings. A B I G THANK YOU! I'm sure you have helped many users today and in the future.

I can get the 3Dconnexion Spacemouse to work in x15 or x14 but not both. Do I need to make a change in the .cfg or another file? Does anyone have any suggestions?

@ComputerMaster86 I'm so glad that I requested help and you answered. Your post will help so many Chief users with their space mouse. Ken

@ComputetMaster86 thank you for your help and files. We located the problem with@MPDesign. He had a older software. He updated the software and your menus are now working on his system. We all appreciate your time and knowledge. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Does anyone know if you can import the setup from a space mouse pro into the enterprise version?

You have had this for a while. Have you updated to the new driver version?

@MPDesign menus doors, edit, views, walls, window

@ComputerMaster86 I'm not sure where I went wrong in my initial programming, Your download worked. Thank you!

@ComputerMaster86 A HUGE thank you! I thought that is where I started off programming the menu (no pics). Thanks for your information it will be a huge help. I can't tell you how much time I have wasted trying to program the SpaceMouse. I'm also on Windows 10 Desktop and 11 Laptop and both have X15 since Beta. I appreciate you taking the time to send me the menu file. Again, Thank you and I will keep you updated.

I'm working with the 3dconnexion spacemouse pro and trying to program radial menus with no success. All my hair is almost GONE...<LOL> I have tried using the hot keys of W,E for "Walls Exterior" I have a screen capture of the macro and the xml text below. PS:I have tried different delays with the same result. Here is the xml file data for that command. <ButtonAction Type="Sequence"> <ID>ID_WI_743333667c714231</ID> <Name>WI</Name> <Sequence Pause="120"> <ActionID>Space</ActionID> <Text Pause="2">w</Text> <Pause>250</Pause> <Text Pause="2">i</Text> </Sequence> </ButtonAction> Since that didn't work I went to using the keyboard commands of "ALT B to access the menu. Then W for walls, then E for Exterior walls. This always puts me on wall hatching. I have tried different delays with the same result. I even tried on another computer to be sure that it was not an issue on my desktop. The result was the same. Here is the xml file data for that command. <ButtonAction Type="Sequence"> <ID>ID_we_c710f12e7bdd6a35</ID> <Name>Wall Ext</Name> <Sequence Pause="12"> <ActionID>Esc</ActionID> <ActionID>Alt+B</ActionID> <Text Pause="2">W</Text> <Text Pause="12">E</Text> </Sequence> </ButtonAction> Any help, suggestions, examples, or comments would be appreciated.
