    One item of interest on the catalog that I have bought of the attention of Chief Architect is the Search Attributes in their catalogs. I have gone back and created my own search terms. The bad part is that when you update the catalog you loose all of the custom Search Attributes. Chief please correct this problem. Thanks

    +1The updated driver was the Game ready driver. The graphics driver is 358.91. By my understanding this is what chief uses.

    Computers are a lot like race cars. Speed cost money. How fast do you want / need to go!! You can scoot along with a low end or fly with a top end. $800-4000.

    +1 ASUS ROG. I have a 17" screen laptop. Huge but works in the field great.

    Thanks Michael. I never used that tool. I appreciate your input.

    Larry, One of the things that speed up the system is the Intel 750 pci-express 3.0 400gb drive or equal. This speeds up undos, etc. Anyone that is looking to upgrade to a new system needs to look seriously at this type of drive. Cpu's are fast but one of the major slowdowns is the i/o to the hard drive. This solves the issue.

    Scott this does not even begin to repay all you have taught me. Edit. To all chief users whom have answered questions this does not even begin to repay all you have taught me.

    From what I am seeing #6 is a pretty typical I-7 -5820 intel processor. The average cpu mark is 12991 the benchmark for #6 was 12868

    Asus ROG Motherboard. Great product. I also run a Asus ROG laptop with a ssd. Works great in the field.

    X99 deluxe mb. Off the shelf water cooler. I had run up to 4.6 and moved back to 4.5 . No problems. Well except maybe me. Computer cant fix that. LOL

    Here are the passmark results for my pc. I7-5960x Clocked to 4.5 Ghz.. PCI-e NvMe c-drive. Notice the drive speed @ 13633. A normal ssd is about 3500-3900. PCI-e ROCKS!!! I'm a firm believer that when I upgrade I go to about the top of the line. I run HUGE drawings. The one i am in now is about 25 MB and only into the end of preliminary's. No framing, etc.

    Glad to help!!!

    There in no need to add that extra step. Draw line at one end use multiple copy using 5 copies. That will give you your spacing.

    When this happens to me, I update the view.Then it is clear. Sometime just zooming in fixes..I think...

    I went thru the plan you posted. There are many issues causing the problem. The 1st floor wall does not align with the wall above and you are not using the same pony wall at that area at the foundation. I attached a picture of that area. I have been where you are in the learning curve. While the people in ChiefTalk help it can not replace training. I fought Chief for way to long then finally took classes. Now I run Chief instead of it beating me like a drum.

    I use manual roofs to create the returns. Works 100% of the time.

    Dave, The textures imported perfect. I imported the "DMDz Chief X8 Textures.calibz". Then when I opened your plan file they all showed up for an easy reference. Thank You!

    Amazon has the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM) for $149.00. Free shipping. That is a good deal!

    SSD made a huge difference in my systems. I cloned my main drive to a SSD then used the old drive a D or E. Be sure the operating system, chief and all drawing files are on the ssd.

    Joe, I have not downloaded either since x3. Just kept paying my SSA. My understanding was I could download at any point that I found a need for them. Now I feel like I have just been ripped off / pick pocketed. It was kind of in my pocket a few days ago. Now I reach in and find someone (CHIEF) just stole it from me. Yep Chief just ripped me off!!! POC Below Joey had the best answer

    I do NOT LIKE WHERE THIS IS HEADED!!!! Chief I pay my ssa fees. Is now the time for you to start nickel & diming us to death? I see you changing the rules when we are already in the game. I call FOUL. THIS IS NOT APPRECIATED!!!!!
