Can we somehow manipulate door lite count? Trying to get one vertical. Or do we have a manufacturer in the 3d library that has these? Thanks guys!

HAHA, I have been thinking the same thing for years and just modify everything to suit.

I feel your pain on this sometimes. Oddly enough alot of times I just reboot the PC and it works good again. I shouldn't be having this with my setup either.

I believe ya man, I know you speak truth but I was hearing about a lot of bugs earlier on so I wanted to wait.

Oh ok. I have been noticing lately that two years into my 3080 card it is starting to sound like a jet taking off when I do physically based so I was wondering how to take some of the stress off it.

What does "cap live samples" do when checked?

HA, I have become quite comfortable with X13 and have everything set just like I want it. Waiting until the last of December and ordering a new dell Alienware and upgrading then then.

When does Chief plan to release X16? Isn't the beta version usually released this time of the year? Nothing more than curiousity as I plan to finally upgrade from X13 in January.

Do you know why the layout files changes the brick lines? layout plan file

I figured it out, uncheck stretch to fit and give the XY texture scale 40 and 40.

I tried course but it widens/narrows with the window size and not uniform. The brick I used is called Tan Terra and does not have a course size. Example shown, surely the adjust material def manipulates this correct?

Hey guys, is there a way to make the soldier course uniform instead of having the staggered pattern? I used the "adjust material def" but no luck. I made a pline solid and use it as a lintel then paint it with the brick type/color. I am sure whatever suggestion you have should work for the brick sill too.

Well well, I had no idea. Thanks!

It actually was unchecked.....what does that do when checking it?

yep!

Hey guys, I had to draw in the gable attic wall manually, CA would not generate it. Do we have to break the wall plane and shape it ourselves?

Learned something new, thanks!

I guess the next question is how do we even set up E size sheets in a new layout file?

see above what I just posted.

I am making all sheets the same size but adding a extra sheet to give them two options on the floor plan....3/16=1'-0" on d size sheet or 1/4"=1-0" on e size if they prefer that.

Hey guys, anyone got a link on layout sheet sizing? I need one sheet in the layout file to be 36x48 to get my floor plan to fit at 1/4" scale.

I feel bad for your co-worker. That is all of our worst nightmares, especially with no I.T. dept when you are self employed.

Cool!

why does this always happen when you mull triangular windows? I rebuild walls/floors and ceiling and nothing happens.

9 times out of 10 if they send a pdf form you can "pdfimport" into Autocad and get your lines. They are busted up lines but it is still a clean picture. I do it all the time for my site plans IF the client has it. I am building a spec home and got the surveyor to send me the pdf. I input into AutoCad, positioned the home like I wanted, sent it back to them so they could go back out and stake it out and they never yelled at me. OR, right click and copy their scanned image, paste into AutoCad, find one dimension you can read, trace a line on it and scale the entire image to that dimension. Then spot check other dims to make sure it is scaled properly. Then import as .dwg into CA. AutoCad is just faster for me for these things, that's why I keep it in my back pocket.
