i'll check out pix plant, thanks for the recommendation!

Stevenyhof, i came across this thread looking for brick downloads - thank you for posting this - beautiful renderings and super helpful!! i am looking for more realistic light colored brick downloads (i do a terrible job importing!) do you by chance have any?

Thankfully it was all still there!

That worked thank you so much!!

I just went to open my latest saved version of a plan I had worked on and got the following message. "Unable to read the file ...name and location... This file does not have a valid header record." I saved it as usual last time i opened it and i'm not having issues opening other files... Does anyone have any tips to help me get this open? Hoping all my work isn't lost

Thanks Eric! I saw another very similar post and it said to change it to a glass door - i was changing it from the library of doors and not the door type drop down and taht wasn't working. Changing the actual door type worked, thank you!

Hello Can someone offer advice on how to properly arch a door? I have chosen "round arch" but it only arches the frame on the inside. On the exterior both to door and the frame are arched but the image on the inside only shows the frame arched. I've tried changing the door but it doesn't help. Picture attached. Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the late reply, I have barely sat down at my desk all week as I have a couple builds finishing up right now. I am looking at all the suggestions and going to see what i can change settings wise, i'll come back and update!

@HumbleChief and @joey_martin i just use the camera view - i like to keep it open while i'm editing the exterior in the plan, no Ray Trace. @robdyck i might have automatic framing on but i don't think i do - i'll check, i do not use automatic roofs. i'm not running hardly anything else on this computer as it's brand new and i've only transferred outlook, chief, and documents so far is this info helpful? Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KF 3.20 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor nvidia geforce rtx 3090 desktop mode 3440 x 1440, 60 hz bit depth 8-bit THANK YOU FOR EACH OF YOUR RESPONSES! If i can provide any other info or you have any tips they are appreciated!

Thank you Shane, at least I know it is not just me and I will check all of that! I was thinking this new 3090 would be like lightening, especially with the price tag, but nope

Is everyone experiencing a slow program since 14? The program has gotten a bit slower / taxing on the computer since each update since 10 however 14 is becoming unbearable! Does anyone have any tips??!! I was running the software on a high end gaming laptop (i prefer a laptop so i can take it to jobsites) however i couldn't stand how slow 14 was so i had an IT professional build me a new desktop with a nvidia 3090, which has definitely improved the speed, BUT even with the 3090 when I have a 3D open and i'm editing in the program is takes several seconds to process and the 3D to update! I feel very inefficient. Any tips welcome and appreciated!

done thank you

Is the baseline not the bottom of the roof framing where it sits on the plate?

A little embarrassed - i had baseline view turned off i was mistaking it for the wall line thinking they were lined up I have it turned on now - i set this particular one we are looking at right on the outside of my framing...and it has baseline at 120" but plate at 106 7/8" so I'm still lost

Attaching part of the file. I closed Chief and zipped it - hopefully this works I usually draw my own roof planes as the auto roof usually gives ugly results lol - i gave it a try this time and it wasn't too bad - now i am going through and making it look how i want, adding gables etc. I did have to move a couple walls in to shrink the square footage for the client, so i have been working on going around the plan adjusting the roof planes back over the walls and checking the heights...chief help roof.zip
