    I always figured they thought we could not do fractions in the southeast... LOL

    Thanks for the pattern!

    Here is a comparison to My computer. cpu i7-6700 = cpu mark 11090 mine i7-5690x = cpu mark 20180 disk drive 223GB INTEL SSDSC2BP240G4 (SSD) disk mark 3957 which is fast by most test, mine pci-e ssd disk mark 13633 Super fast. Video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 G3d Mark =5001, Mine GTX 980 11222 Hope this helps!

    The PCI-e ssd is one of the major items to speed up the computer. Even moving from a ssd drive to the PCI-e made a huge difference in speed. Do not under estimate how a hard drive effects the system speed. I do work with all of my files local to improve speed.

    My 5960x overclocked is $1015.00 compared to the 6950x at $1649.00. My cpu mark is 20180 compared to 19,995 for the more expensive chip.

    I would not go the extra cost of the new cpu. No real advantage / cost ratio. I had looked at swapping mine out and selling my cpu but after the investigation decide to stay where I am.

    I did build it. Not overly hard if you are not scared of computers. Many links on the web to help answer build questions. I do like the ASUS ROG motherboard it is a name I personally trust.

    They show up on the link when I click on them.

    Take a look at this topic in computer speed for comparisons. There are other benchmarks before and after my post below I have never found my computer slow in large complex 6000 sf plus detailed with many 3d items. If you want to get an idea what speed a new computer would be the run a complete backup of your drawing and contact me. We can even d an online meeting for you to see the speed.

    You may want to post the details page or send plan & layout to someone that can give an answer. I am on the other coast and use different details for your area if you want to me to take a look. My email is below. Maybe share via dropbox if it is huge. What do you use for your hard drive? You did not list all of the system specs.

    Thanks Joe!

    Yes there is one. It shows up when you select an item. Look up "Point to Point Move" in help" edit I copy and paste in place then move point to point.

    I use a 17" asus rog with a ssd hard drive. Great machine. Here is a newer version of what I am running. ASUS ROG GL502VY-DS71 Intel i7 2.6GHz 16GB DDR4 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD GTX980M 4GB 15.6-inch Full HD Gaming Laptop

    Glenn Glenn, I would have never thought of that but you are most likely correct! My patterns show correctly unless they are moved far from zero
  15. KenL-sdd
    Larry is correct. I think the roof defaults are control + R

    +1 Best way to keep the details updated.

    Nice JOB! Thanks for posting.

    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.

    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.
  22. KenL-sdd
    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
