    That is pretty good! I would probably do it with custom Backsplashes shaped in wall elevation.

    Use a different rendering technique besides glass house. But this is not typical Drafting standards to show an addition on a house. Typically you would show an existing elevation and a proposed elevation on the plans (many AHJs request they be side by side or top and bottom on the same page). Showing the differences. BTW overall consensus for best practice is to use plot lines to send to layout as they are cleaner and easier to read plans from.

    And I am assuming after you restart your computer it happens every time? To confirm you are using a CPU ray trace rendering correct?

    So a couple of questions and a screen grab of the issue would help. Just to confirm you are using the cpu ray trace tool correct? Are you getting an image? Do you see any information on the bottom status bar?
  5. rgardner
    Yup @Renerabbittor @MKBDesign Melissa Nunes are the best in that area.

    see this previous thread.

    Or use a reference layer which will also work just fine.

    This should be a different post as it has nothing to do with the original question. Please feel free to delete this to keep it clean and post. Btw I have a studio with the ultra and have no issues but am happy to answer more detailed if you post separately.

    In oversimplified terms: Home Designer products (made by Chief Architect) is a DIY homeowner product. Although the Home Designer Pro has a lot of functions (more than the other two HD products) and can do most basic work it is still made for DIY users. Chief Architect Premier and Interiors is a professional grade product for Architectural Designers, Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Kitchen & Bath designers, and are made to be used for professional users.

    Quite a few other issues on this but your railing is because of how you have your room setup. Setup the loft story as 1.5" Ceiling height (your 2x toe plate the rafters will actually build off of or set on. Then select the railings and set them to balloon through ceiling above in the structures panel.

    Convert it to a faceted and closed poly line before converting to a solid. Another tip would be to use solid subtractions with cones.

    Take a look at minimum requirements on the site for x14 gpu and types of vivida cards. It a PC guy but I believe u remember seeing that it was an issue with your series of card.

    It is the fact that Chief locks the file and so until you close it out and release it then it is not gone it is still in the undo memory.

    Alternative method is to use the Wall Material Region tool.

    1x2 nailer at top 1x10 fascia at the bottom and a a 1x6 shadow nailed to both at top for a built up fascia. Alternative is 1x2 nailers top and bottom with rolled metal wrap

    Your roof is too high and is cutting the roof. Try selecting that upper wall and setting it to be cut by roof in the roof panel of the dbx.

    Sorry I think I tagged the wrong designer. Steve Price is in Phoenix and is ALSO very good. @Beautiful1 is his business account for Beautiful Space Co.

    @Steve-C (Steve Price) is there and does great work!

    Most likely it has to do with the custom toolbar spacing. If you are separating them by dragging them apart apparently that is an issue with something with mac in particular the limitations set on simple icons that chief uses. Use the toolbar empty space instead of separating them that way. It seems to have worked for me although the process above was done at the same time so it may have been a combination of the two.

    Check the existing items to retain framing before framing the rest. For floor and ceiling framing you will need to use framing groups.

    By chance does it happen when you have it being used on multiple monitors? Does your side panels (ALDO, PB, & LB) disappear as well or rearrange itself? If so I might have fixed this issue recently. Part of it was with the toolbar customization with spacing and the rest was "setting" my side windows so they would not rearrange.

    Upgrade for future proofing.

    Very nice. Used to meet the wife's family there for lunch when visiting the area there in Alexandria Bay or Fisher's landing. That is always a bummer but at least you got something that sounds like it will work.

    Even easier if you make a quick copy of the siding texture and rotate it 90 degrees:

    It is designed to be on the same layer of what it is being attached to. I find it helpful and prior to that would always change the layer with the layer painter tool so that It would show only when I wanted that text or note to be shown. Otherwise your text might not be showing in a particular view but a random arrow would be.
