Sounds cool Rene, link? Sounds like something I have done before chopsaw but not with actual walls just pline solids. Cool idea though. Roof planes, never thought of that.

Sometimes you can get away with pline solids for chimneys. In this case I don't want to do that. I have a 2 story home with attic space. What are some techniques you guys use to transition the exterior 1st floor walls to the 2nd floor tapered walls for he chimney?

So that's what the wall covering does. Now I know!

Very interesting guys. I never knew that. So, I added 1/16" to the color and it worked/ I did a molding pline for the island wall. Why doesn't chief recognize the end of the wall and let it expose the wall stud?

I actually do rgardner

Sometimes I can add these type walls and they come in fully enclosed in drywall and molding and sometimes not. What determines this? Shown is a kitchen island with a half wall (plumbing) with no molding and then a simple wall closing off a fridge.

Hello guys, I'm back in town and reading these replies. So, it turns out, my issue was the driver. I posted the thread on 7/28/21 and with SSA on the phone we looked at the AMD site and they had just released another update on 7/27/21. I had to turn off a setting in windows to allow the new driver update and what do you know, problem solved. Vector views are crisp and sharp and standard view doesn't have all these colored lines shooting everywhere.

I got off the phone with Chief about an hour ago after having your issues. My vector views were horrible. Apparently there was yet another upgrade to my driver we found and now I am back to crisp and sharp renderings.

I do mine similar to this and use the caps provided in the library......

Good feedback guys. I was gonna wait till December to upgrade my PC but I may be having to do that earlier. None of this was to hate on X13 but when you do this for a living, I don't need these headaches.

I have kept delaying posting this issue for weeks but now It's getting irritating. If you have seen my posts for the past 2.5 years you know I speak highly of this software. But X13 is costing me time. X11 & X12 were flawless. Now, I find myself losing work several times a day from all the crashing. If I need a new computer (in sig) to run this let me know because time is money. This just will not work and is unacceptable. All my drivers are up to date and this whole new rendering thing they say is different isn't the best and it's not just the rendering causing the crashes. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to go back to X12 but all 7 of my projects are currently in X13.

10-4......I am due for a PC upgrade this year and want to get a bad ass one, better than the one I have. The homes I am getting are more detailed and larger every day.

Cool, 3 years on the software and still learning new tricks.

So, apparently, I learned something not to do. I am working a exterior rendering of an existing home with a lot of windows and don't want to see the inside of the home. I made all the glass "mirror" and it really bogged down my PC and it crashed several times. After changing it to a colored glass it went smooth again. Does mirror glass try and reflect too much on perspective views? My PC stays quiet but sounded overloaded with mirrored glass.

nice! now I know. thanks to you both.

so are these really considered 3 way switches? I have been manually going into the symbol and turning them off but when you run a plan check or close and reopen they reappear. one for the light and one for the fan.

What do you guys recommend or should I say how do you print? I do print in color when sending to clients.

600 DPI

Anyone know why when printing layout files and then opening in adobe, the file sizes are huge, but for those of us having adobe pro, you can reduce the file size? Why doesn't it just print at a lower file size in the first place. We are talking like 35 megs down to 8 megs. Seems like a redundant step to take every time you print and the clarity of the plans stays just as good. Weird?!?

LOL, you mean someone else does this too. It is my last resort, but time is money and only I know it is faked. It still bugs the perfectionest in me though.

will do chop......I DID find that plot lines with color fill worked excellent.

Anyone else having these vector views after updating drivers for X13? I use vector for everything.......PC specs in sig. Am I powerful enough with my current system for X13?

it was nice to reclaim 15 gigs back AND download the latest video card driver for X13.

Solver and Joe, looks like I was on the right path then. Thanks
