Only one card in this computer

I can post my plan but I don't see how that would help. I have the problem globally so it doesn't matter if it is a new plan, old plan or something I'm currently working on. Here is a new plan I'm calling "Test Plan" file from my computer. I tested it as a new plan and still having the same problem. Test Plan.plan

Thank you for your help guy's!

PLEASE HELP! OK, so I'm really getting tired of this white screen coming up and loosing all my work! I have been on technical support with CA twice with this issue and so I need to find out if anyone else is having this problem and can help. PROBLEM: Whenever I try to open anything in 3D on my external monitor I get this dreaded white screen and the wonderful circle jerk. Just to be clear, there are no issues if I don't run the external monitor. I have never had this problem until the upgrade to Chief 10 I have been using laptops for several versions of Chief (ever since we could first do split screen) and this has not been an issue. THINGS I HAVE TRIED TO CORRECT IT: CA had me uncheck the box in to "Show Option on Startup" in the preferences under the general tab and then I was at least able to open the program and work with it CA also walked me through on how to get the very latest updated video card driver (didn't work). I messed around with screen resolutions and tried everything else under the sun with my computer guy I tried three different laptop computers and had the same problem. Only because I was in the middle of a computer upgrade I have tried 4 different name brands of monitors I would very much appreciate any help I can get to solve this problem. I think it is a CA glitch that needs to be fixed Here is a picture of what I get when i try to run anything on the external monitor in 3D. This picture all i did was try to edit a smoke detector.

No luck trying to make that work. I can select vertical or horizontal siding and it will show that pattern but I can get it to show the stucco (sand or concrete) pattern. There doesn't seem to be a simple solution.

I was playing around with different ways of sending the elevations into my layout page and I noticed on every one of them it does not show the stucco pattern. I tried looking around but couldn't figure out how to get the stucco pattern into the elevation view. Is this even possible to do?

I was always taught growing up if you don't have anything good to say about someone then just don't say anything at all.

What the difference between "Like" and "Approve" (upvote, downvote)? In other words you have three categories; Like, Upvote and Downvote. I just don't get how they are supposed to work together or which one to click on.

This was very well explained! I tried to use the liked thing in the lower right hand corner of the post but I cant figure out how that works so I'm just telling you. Thank You!

Day late and a dollar short Mr. Solver. Thanks for the help though!

Thank you Glenn! I was just looking in the wrong place. I'm not really even sure when they added that option. So used to doing a manual build I never even thought to check.

I didn't see an option to select a wall to place a dutch gable like we would to place a regular gable or hip. That was the purpose of asking the questions to see if I might be over looking something. I cant seems to find any instruction on it in the video's or help menus but sometimes that is because I'm not asking the right questions.

OK, so all this mumbo-jumbo Tomato-Tomato leads me to another question; I know that we can do an automatic roof build and select where we want our regular gables and hips within the same roof structures but can we do an automatic build and select where we our our Dutch-Gables to be and still have regular hips and gables on other parts of the roof? Can I do this in an automatic build?

I'm more then sure that is is a Chief software issue. I will call tec again in the morning. Not sure what more information I can give anyone to get more help. 3D Works fine on the laptop screen but locks up when I move the 3D view to either of the additional display monitors. Once and while I can get it to work, not sure why. I've tried all different ways. I installed, reinstalled and updated video cards and CA several times. Always have the same issues. Tried every setting I can think of.

The computer is plenty powerful enough. The resolution settings match the two additional monitors. Nvidia is set for triple display and I only have the one graphics card so its not like my other computers where I would have the standard display card and the Navidia as an optional. Everything is fine until I move the perspective view in the larger displays and then I get that stinking white screen! Never had this issue with any of my past 6 laptops. Bummer!

Thank you! I will check that as soon as i get back to the office.

Did Did you only have the issues when you were working with 3D views? It appears that is it only problem with mine at this time.

Good Morning! I have to additional monitors plugged into my laptop. I'm having issues with Chief running on the additional display monitors. Seems to be only when I put the 3D views on them. Any suggestions to help me remedy this problem?

With the screens being so wide these days I prefer to have the task bar on the right side of my screen. I have really gotten used to it and it works nicely! Also it does not obstruct Chief when I'm in full view as attached picture.

Updated my computer specs in my signature. You would think with all these fancy new gadgets that it would fix itself!

Yes I can access the digital locker. I just purchased this new computer a week ago so everything is new. It all started when I was trying to convert some cad auto desk files into Chief

I just has that working circle and it wont let me do anything. I have to bring up the task manager to shut it down. My internet is working great. I have three monitors and I can serf the net and open other programs even when CA is hung up.

Hey guy's, Could use a little help. My Chief Architect program wont open and I'm not sure why. Please see picture below and you will see what opens when I try. I deleted the program and re-installed it a couple of times. I got it to work for a little wile but I am now having the problem again. Any help would be much appreciated Thank You

Did you want to see them on the floor plan like this?

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it.
