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

+1You can always go to their download website and read the release notes. That will tell you if they have done anything that will improve your performance. Most of these driver revisions are to address or add very specific game related issues. If that's the case then the update is not necessary unless you play that particular game.
Graham
The 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.

I recently replaced my laptop with a New ASUS Republic of Gamers G751JL unit. It was reasonably priced and works great with Chief.

+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.

Here's a quick cost breakdown of one option with a 5960X CPU, gtx 980ti etc. With a new PCI M.2 ssd add about $350 - $500. Build it and overclock it yourself.
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.

You have to be kidding me.... 10 years later I learn this? Hey, thank Ken, nice job, I will give you a point, I would give you 20 points if I could.
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.

Just be careful when interperting those system/component performance numbers. That #6 unit is heavily tricked out. You can use the Baseline options to locate and organize the comparative systems or it may be best to through-out the top two and bottom two to get a better picture, especially when one really jumps out way ahead of the pack.
Graham
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

Thanks Ken, which brand motherboard?
Asus ROG Motherboard. Great product. I also run a Asus ROG laptop with a ssd. Works great in the field.
-
NICE! That's almost as fast as the fastest Xeon. Pretty impressive.
4.5 is a pretty ripping OC. Any cooling problems? Which mother board? Coolers? Thanks
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!

Go straight to x8.

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.

I found that I already had both of these catalogs downloaded in a prior version (X6) on at least 1 of my 3 computers. So I just exported imported them to X8.
But that isn't the point. SSA is supposed to include all content, not just some.
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 think a compromise would be to give current SSA members the opportunity to download and backup what was previously included. Give us a grace period to get what we need.
-
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!!!!!
