Yes that paints a different story.

For those concerned with the SATA II versus the STA III take a look at this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-upgrade-sata-3gbps,3469.html I'm still looking for a better price on the 850 Pro 512gb but am close to a purchase. My video card is the weak link in my old system, but I may wait on that until I get a new computer.

Many thanks. It's easy once you know how. Now if I can jut remember for next time.

Here is a test plan WallTest.plan

Walls will not break but pulling then apart I made a short 8" thick wall out from the intersection & then moved it into place.

Your walls are too far apart. The north south walls share the framing line. i.e. no drywall.

When you do that it creates a notch at the cabinet side of the junction.

That one worked great with a swap out of the existing. Now for the switch.

How can I close the walls so no notch?

How can I turn the outlets & switches 90 deg? There is a raised counter top & half wall that they are in.

So most likely a driver issue. I'll research that. Thanks

Printing ALL sheets to PDF file via "PDFCreator" driver I have 2 sheets out of 7 that are rotated 90 deg. In the preview pane all are correct, they are landscape view. Is this an issue with the Driver or Chief? Is there a way to send each sheet to a separate file or is this the driver too?

I looked everywhere, i think. Where are the exterior flood lights, Usually a pair at the corner of a house.

Interesting, I assume you can raise/lower all roof planes at once, cool!

Currently the lower roof is supposed to be 10', at garage the floor is -6. The higher roof on the main house is supposed to be 11'-8" The high roof over the entry needs to be adjusted up/down to be high enough to allow the entry shed roof and not be too high for the tie in on the right side roof. I may need to raise the 11'-8" roof to 12'-4" for a better look on the gable. It looks too tight where it is. I'll be back later today. Thanks

Yes a typo, ON the wall, exactly as described. Metal plate separates truss & concrete. I have a plan with varying plate heights. As I try to adjust roof heights I am confused as to what the best method is. There are two areas that need manual roof plane adjustments & auto roof keeps deleting the manual adjustments. I wanted to move bearing height up & down & change the roof pitch as well to determine the optimum for this house. Once I added interior walls, using the floor structure to adjust bearing plate height became troublesome. At first I was using just large areas, calling them hall, living room & garages. What method do you use to adjust plate heights to change the roof plane? BellaVistaLot3-r3.plan

99% of my roof trusses are pre manufactured trusses and sit on the wall with no 1-1/2" plate on CMU walls. Top chord on trusses are 2x4 except for tile roof or long spans & then 2x6 They can be standard overhang or cantilevered overhang. Overhangs vary from 12", 16", 20" & 24" Sub Fascia boards are 2x6 or 2x8 typically. What settings are critical to achieve a true roof plane & fascia height? Assume ceilings are 10'

Does it bother anyone else that the basic description & size is missing when you select an object in the Library Browser? Searching for a Large Dresser I get many pictures but no way to judge actual size. Seems to me as a no brainier that that info should be displayed if you select an item. Or is there something I missed? Also some items can be stretched with no problem but some can not. I tried to stretch dresser to make it wider but it moves the right side like a blank & the left side it only stretches the top. Should be some warning that the object can not be stretched, like an Astrix or something. Just venting.

We use 1/2" Sag Resistant Drywall, at least that is what I spec.

I though I had too but could not find the article.

Oh,I was looking at the 850Pro for warranty info. Product Capacity Product Warranty Policy (Period or TBW) 830 Series 64GB/128GB/256GB/512GB 3 years 840 Series 120GB/250GB/500GB 3 years 840 PRO Series 128GB/256GB/512GB 5 years (73 TBW for enterprise applications) 840 EVO Series 120GB/250GB/500GB 3 years 850 PRO Series 128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB 10 Years or 150TBW Must have miss read the life span thing.

You give up some longevity in Rapid mode but with a 10 year warranty who cares.

Perry, Did you read the article Steve posted. Bottom of 1 page talks about a software boost for speed. Rapid mode. Have you tried it?

Wow, great info Steve. Thanks so much for you time & expertise. Yes the power supply was a weak link. It died earlier this year so I now have a 500+ watt from CompUSA. I just took a big hit buying CA last month and it runs OK. Slightly longer load time than ACAD2006. So a new box will have to wait. I am not concerned by start up times. I leave my computer on 24/7 and restart every 3 day mostly. I think I will get the SSD 850 512 I have 296gb used on my 1TB C: drive. I use the 2TB as back up for my & my wife's computer. Actually 2 each 2TB drives & a Black X External Drive Dock. So I keep one of the 2TB drives in my fire proof safe. Maybe the RAID1 would be a better choice with the SSD as C: drive and the two 2TB drives as the RAID set up.

Knock wood, I haven't had any issues with the ATI although my Wife's computer has. I bought Dell Refurbished & have been happy with them. I may go the build your own route next time. I see the 1 TB EVO is 450 & pro is 600+ Wow, that's quite a hit for Pro. My question is would you be better off with 512 Pro or a 1TB EVO?
