    Sounds like you need to adjust the brightness on your new monitor. As for the difference in clarity between the laptop and the monitor, the first thing that comes to mind is the resolution of the image you're working with. You didn't state what type of file you are working with (jpg, pdf, plan...) but if the original is low resoution, it may look OK on a laptop sceen (15" - 17"??) as opposed to a larger monitor (24" - 31"???). A little more information would be helpful.

    Open the Dialog Box for your pendant and in the 'Options' tab, make sure 'Flush Mounted' is unchecked.

    Chief will align walls with their outer edges by default. This article covers the topic in detail: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00332/aligning-walls-between-floors-in-chief-architect.html

    I misunderstood the OP's intent, Mark's solution is a good one.

    You an just place you can lights on your plan view and they should automatically place themselves in the sloped ceiling as long as you un-check 'Flat Ceiling Over This Room' in the structure tab of your room DBX.

    Make it from a polyline solid then break the surface and drag it to match your ceiling.

    Since you are sending it straight to Chief, it doesn't really matter which version you choose, I always download the newest one.The only time it matters which version you choose is if you plan to open it in your own version of SU.

    Chief recommends an NVIDIA RTX 30 series card. Lot's of discussion on the topic here https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/33864-best-gpu-besides-rtx3080/

    I have experienced this issue before but necessarily with glass. As Tea Time suggested, start by adjusting the refraction of the glass.
  21. ericepv
    That's the first thing I would try.
  22. ericepv
    You could make a copy of your glass material for your user library and then assign that material to the window. This would allow you to alter the properties for that window only.

    Make sure you check 'Default Light Set' in your camera DBX otherwise you'll only see a maximum of 8 lights.

    3D Warehouse has a selection, perhaps one for your project? https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=pivot door&searchTab=model

    Mark: Here's a quick PBR I ran with a new camera (I did not see an interior camera in your plan other than the walk-thru) on X15 using mostly default settings. I also added a couple more light sources at the base of the stairs and set them for 4K lumens. To check on your end: Make sure all your light sources are turned on (be sure to select 'Default light Set' in your camera DBX) Increase the lumens and add more light sources Make sure your video driver is up to date Hope this helps - Eric
