    You may be pushing the limits of your graphics card now that CA recommends a dedicated 4-8 GB card.  However this should still be sent in.  There may be some other settings you can use to keep using your current setup.

     

    If you would like to run the file in X9 there should be a usable copy in your X10 Archives folder.

    Thanks for the reply!

     

    The thing I find odd is that it performs great otherwise! Even with reflections on it runs smoothly as long as I am looking in a north-ish direction. It's just when I go to turn around that I start having problems.

  2. Alright, before I get jumped on, I did search through pages of X10 camera issues and couldn't find anything like what I am experiencing.

     

    I have CA X10 on a Mid 2015 MacBook Pro with an Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB graphics card. 

     

    So here's what I've run into. I can create a standard full camera view and it looks great. As soon as I turn the camera so it is facing the eastern hemisphere I will get this glitchy looking view - like the framing members are showing through in the view. Once I look back to the west, no problem. In the attached screen shots this is a view, and then one click to the left and it glitches. Go back to the right and it looks fine.

     

    I have narrowed it down to the reflections setting. If I turn reflections off, I don't have any issues navigating around the entire plan in the camera view. Once I turn reflections back on, the issue resurfaces. 

     

    Anyone else seen this? I was so excited to download the latest update as it said something about graphics issues with Intel cards, but it doesn't seem to have fixed my issue.

     

    This is a plan that was originally created in X9, but now that I have opened it in X10 I can't go back to X9 (the plan didn't have this problem in X9). 

     

    Edit: Sorry the problem arrises when facing the Southern Hemisphere, not the eastern

  3. Help! Fairly new to CA and having a heck of a time getting recessed lights placed in box eaves. They angle to match the pitch of the roof instead of sitting flush with the boxed eave.

     

    I've done a fair bit of research and all I can find is a topic from 2012 discussing this (see here). Has this been addressed yet? I am running X9. 

     

    The one suggestion in there of copying a recessed light into the user catalog and modifying it to place in the floor, then manually setting the height seems easiest. But I can't seem to figure out how to get the recessed light to place in the floor instead of the ceiling. 

     

    Any tips?

     

    Edit: Well I did figure out how to get them mounted in the floor and then offsetting them, but is there no easier way without adding additional roof planes or soffits?
