Very interesting. While it is faster, the difference is so little, I may need to hold off for a time. Thank you!!

Yeah, I am having some fun, but wanting to see of I can improve what I am doing a bit. With any CAD software, once you get good at what you're doing, you can often outperform the processing... click, click, click is always nicer than... click, click, wait, click. I will need to pay closer attention as I work to notice how CA is working and then once I upgrade how it works.

Thank you for the info!

Per pcpartpicker - my motherboard can work with the Intel 11900K... see image But does require some additional items... see image I did just build this computer a little over a year ago with some upgrades since, but I would not be against putting in a new motherboard. For those who may find this thread, my son turned me onto this guy who tests and helps you find the right hardware... EDIT: I wanted to add that with my motherboard, it does support the "Intel® Core™ i9-11900K" with an update to the BIOS. Based on my study into the CPU fans I believe the one I have is already fine for this setup.

Good info! Thank you
-
Thank you Mick. I was thinking a new CPU may be in order. Back in the 80's I built all of our companies computers, but today I relay on my two sons and people like yourself as my interest is not what it used to be

This was very helpful... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00521/troubleshooting-slowness-in-chief-architect-plans.html#Work on Files Locally I would say I follow all these recommendations quite well and my speed is just fine for 95% of my work. I can experience some lag with larger houses, and then I keep my 3D off as much as I can which does speed it up. I do zoom meetings often where I use one monitor and split the screen to plan and 3D and then things slow down a bit.
-
Another question I will have, and you can see that I have 4 monitors which I love as I draw (plan view) on the bottom left, 3D floor in my bottom right, client notes, etc on the top left and my email, calendar, schedule software (Asana), G-Drive, etc, in a browser on my top right. Works very nice. My question is can 60Hz monitors slow down the performance of CA? Or better said, can a higher Hz increase performance speed with CA?

Hi Mick, (or anyone with knowledge of this) I am about to order the "SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3c Samsung V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V8P2T0B/AM" - "Get read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s with 980 PRO" per Newegg.com My son is telling me I should just reinstall CA on this drive and not on the C: drive. Does this make sense to gain some speed? Most of my work is without an issue now on SSD drives. My storage drive is where I have all my plans. I never paid attention until I read this thread and see we can control where the Temp and Undo folders are located, and it hit me that CA, knowing that these files are being accessed within the operation that we can take advantage of putting these folders on a NVMe drive to speed up file transfer rates. This seems like a good move - yes? Thank you, Steve

Sorry I missed that. Good call

Ah!! Thank you very much!

It's a new drawing and I only have the two roof planes which were auto generated from the defaults. Set to 7.25, generated to 3.5
-
When I set the roof structure thickness to 7.25, the roofs are still generated at 3.5 https://www.loom.com/share/58d662203eb545dfb7acf75239cde336 Thoughts? Thank you, Steve

So I learned from support that for winders to work, you need to make the space the stairs are in a room. I did not make the basement stairs yet so did not have a room. I added a few room divider walls and it works. FYI

Here is the final result and DBX options on each wall... https://www.loom.com/share/6161b2bb24194744b93497344a71fb02

Thank you! That makes perfect sense! Perfection!!
-
Here is what I have... https://www.loom.com/share/97a8d4d7d505469ea195b3c8a7459e08 I do have some issue with my winders, they are not working and have a support ticket open. That might be my issue. I will update once I get an answer to that. Thank you, Steve

Very ingenious, Yusuf!

Thank you!

Thank you! It cuts into the ceiling correctly, but still not following how you control the bottom to follow the stairs. Still trying. This is the other way where you manipulate the walls, but cuts the ceiling...
-
So I tested both left and right curved stairs, and mirrored them and I cannot get the winders to curve with the wall. I'm going to report this to support.
-
Ah! Thank you for looking into this. You know, they do offer left and right curved stairs. Maybe you are not meant to mirror a stairs if you decide to go the other direction. Not saying that is what I did, but now I want to check. Thank you for looking into this. I will report a bug if I confirm what you are saying.

No hurry, it is a holiday - have a good night! Thank you, Glenn 2009.zip

Well, either way, I like the walls and appreciate the help!!
-
Getting closer - just need to figure out the winders https://www.loom.com/share/c6dc7629518f4bada6e6389f88fe78b7 Happy Thanksgiving BTW!
