Thanks for the answer Dermot. I will try that.

This is what it looks like in a perspective view

Hi everyone! I am ray tracing my custom cabinet. I created a material with a picture of the original cabinet doors and applied it to my cabinet. For now, I get pink cabinet doors. In perspective views, the cabinet is ok. I presume this comes from the technique I used to create the material, but I can't find what it is. Also, there is some light emitting from behind the cabinet and the corners of the room. I didn't find why and how to fix that. What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance!

Thank you Eric! I thought I it was impossible to embed the legs in the cabinet corners manually. I will try that.

Hi! I am trying to reproduce my client's 20s sideboard to insert it in the 3D models. Can someone tell me the easiest way to have that free space under the cabinet with corner pilasters serving as legs please? I have been watching video for hours and searching the forum without finding what I am looking for. Attached a picture of the sideboard and the cupboard. Thanks in advance! Danielle

Thank you Tina, this is great! I wish I had something to share with every one too!

OK! So I will take the chance to install X13 and hope for the best! Thanks again!

I had the same issue and fixed it by lowering the sun lumen down to 600. that also fixed the problem with the blue back light window treatment.

Hahaha! Kbird1, you got the point! So I spent a few hours trying to fix a non existing problem! It might be a good idea if Chief added a note about which versions the videos are about. This would save users some time. I didn't find that information anywhere, not even beside the Chief logo on top of the video window. I have SSA yes, but I was hesitating to upgrade because of those issues with the 3000 video cards. I have my laptop since January, I will update the drivers. And since you say that this will fix the card issues, I will upgrade to X13. And find the Ray trace check box! Thanks for the link about the drivers, I only have to find the right version now! Thanks to all of you for your help guys !

OK, so I had a look on how to force Chief to use a specific video card and I tried that and rebooted the laptop. But it seams that it was already using the Nvidia RTX 3080. (See picture) The problem is that there is no box to tick in the "rendering technique options" window to activate the Ray Trace it is like mentioned in the video "PBR technique" video. And I don't see the "Hardware Ray tracing" line in the Preferences window either. Here is what I see on my screen in the rendering technique options window Preferences and compare of what is illustrated in the PBR technique video. Thanks again! Danielle

Thanks! I will have a look!

Thank you for taking care of my question. I can't find how to configure Chief to get my video Card to support Ray Trace Danielle

Hi everybody! I am trying to render PBR views with my new Alienware X17 laptop. I had a look in the forum and listened to this video "https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/2426/physically-based-rendering-technique.html" The video mentions a "Use Ray Tracing" tick box that should be in the "Rendering Techniques Options" window. But I couldn't find that and there is no mention of the Ray Tracing in the Video Card Status of the Preferences. My graphic card is an Nvidia RTX 3080. It's supposed to support real time Ray Tracing. Can someone tell me how to fix this please? Thanks in advance! Danielle

Good to know David! Thanks for the information. Danielle

Thanks for the answers Chopsaw and Kbird1! I don't think my freelancer would upgrade to X13. But having her to start the file first and then transfer it to me is a good idea. Kbird1, I have X12 installed since last fall (yes, from v10!!!) and I plan to upgrade to X13 as soon as my computer will be fixed. I need more drive storage. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm considering hiring a freelance designer. Is it possible for two users that have different versions of Chief to work on the same file? - If yes, how can this be done? - Is it possible to "save as" an older version?

This was funny! :D

Robert, you are perfectly right! I appreciate your opinion and I agree. Thank you! But this is a special customer request. They said that the toilet lid will be closed most part of the time. :D

Hi everyone, The issue is gone. I don't know how. It might be an update issue. When I saw that Bullzip was working well again, I reinstalled Cute PDF. Everything is OK now. Thanks to all

Yes Michael, you are right! I was so focused on having that red line off, I didn't realize I could change the colour only in one layer set! Thanks for the reminder.

Great Joe! I hope we could have the pleasure to see you participate in our French conversations! Can't wait!

Bonjour Gilles, je suis d'Orford! Je travaille avec X12. Au plaisir de partager avec vous dans le futur Danielle

Thank you Mike. I thought about that. If this is the only solution, I will do that. If possible, I would prefer not to have to change the layer color. Thanks again

Hi everyone, I am tying to turn off the display of the coloured outline around the electric symbols in a wall elevation view. I have seen something once, but I can't find it back. Would someone tell me where to find that configuration please? Thanks in advance! Danielle Working with X12.
