  1. I usually export my files in DWG to Architects no problem.

    An Architect told me that when he tries to open it says that the file is an unsupported version of Auto Cad.  I did the export on his supporting year AutoCad as well.

    Is this new with X15?

    How do I export DWG files?

    Thank you!

  2. My ceiling molding is not wrapping a soffit all the way.  I am creating a shower.  When I put a glass wall at the doorway, no molding appears. When I place a pony wall the same thing.

    How can I get the molding to wrap the soffit all the way?

    Thank you!

  3. Every time I work on my Laptop, Chief suddenly crashes and closes.

    I have a very good laptop.  What can I do so it will stop crashing on me?  Every 15 min. it crashes!

    Thank you for your help!

  4. Does anyone have a favorite light data setting for their recessed lighting?  I am trying to create a better PBR rendering by changing the light data settings.

    Attached is a PBR of what I am working on.  Just not happy with how it is lighting. 

    I attached an image of my rendering and light data settings.

    Any help is appreciated!

  5. I am really struggling with sending elevations to layout.  It is super slow to resize and the auto dimensions aren't always working.  I had created the file in X13 could this be an issue?  Also I have an elevation that is "remembering" items67706386_ELEVATIONSNAPSHOTCHIEF.thumb.JPG.72480add38d705e7d785b25ac55d1c25.JPG I have deleted. Attached is the picture of the elevation.
