The videos from the User Group Meeting were all added to playlists based on the topic being covered. You can still find them all easily using the search box on the video page, (left side, not top right search box) using UGM as the search term. They are video # 1910 through 1956 as well. I hope this helps!

I should have included that you can still contact support through our website - support.chiefarchitect.com and create a new ticket.

The phone company has been contacted. We are in the midst of a pretty powerful wind storm and it looks like lines are down. John Jones

Hi Rob, I believe that this issue was resolved recently but left a few people in the state you are in. If you could email me with the names of the seminars you show "owned", I can get this resolved for you. John johnj@chiefarchitect.com

Here is the plan file if you would like to look at the windows. corner window.plan

I should have posted the image~!

Probably the best one I have seen was done with the Pass-through window tool and a small invisible room. The glass in the windows are slabs. Don't forget to set your Plan Default to "Ignore Casing For Opening Resize" and turn off the frame on the pass-throughs.

We have prepared an interim update to correct two important issues in X7. The update notes for 17.1.2.2 are attached. chief-architect-17.1.2.2-update-notes.pdf

Hello All, As we have stated earlier, this is not a trivial problem and manifests itself only on a specific video card manufacturers hardware. Our development staff does understand that this has impacted productivity for some of you, though, and is continuing to work on this issue with the third parties involved as well as looking at changes to Chief Architect that may resolve the problem. The issue has to do with drawing a single pixel, horizontal line on screen consistently. There is a setting in Preferences that can resolve the issue for you by forcing the lines to draw at a minimum of 2 pixels, though it may make other lines on screen render larger: Preferences>Appearance – Line Weights – Minimum Display Weight: 2 Pixels We will continue to work toward a permanent resolution with the highest priority and hope that this suggestion will be helpful until then.
