BTW, Graham, I was in my late teens when we owned a Kitchen store. We built houses and did lots of remodels. (I'm the youngest of four brothers). Back then, I was the "processor" I drew all the perspectives of the kitchens we sold and even added grain to the cabinets. That was over 40 years ago... This would be a close example of a perspective back then...

I checked my order and it shows the RTX 2060... EVGA 06G-P4-2068-KR GeForce RTX 2060 KO Ultra Gaming, 6GB GDDR6, Dual Fans, Metal Backplate Sold by: Amazon.com Services LLC $329.99

Thank you for the feedback and info. Concerning Dell, I have had them all, even Alienware, and ASUS out performed for both laptops and desktops. I can always upgrade the video card, but as it is, I am getting too much lag with Chief and need to get something in place. I will update my Signature with new info once I have it in place.

That makes a lot of sense! I think I will check it out. Thank you

Do you prefer OneDrive over google?

Thank you for everyone's help on this forum and even in messages. This is what my son put together... https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jordhof/saved/#view=rHK2mG I'll need to update my signature when he gets it built. Steve

ok, google is now backing up. I am shutting down Code42 - Thank you for your help!

I have a paid subscription. Very good!

I do you google drive, so I could just connect that

Ah! I will look into that. Thank you!

Very good. But I also want things backed up online.

I will look into one drive. Once thing Code 42 does is backup every day - meaning, I can go back to specific days and find a file that was completed to a point on that day. It does not overwrite files, but keeps making new backups each day of files that change. This is also an old service, so maybe OneDrive offers such features.

I don't even know what the Windows Host Audio is. I can turn off my backup for a time, but that has saved me many times. I think over 11 years, there is just stuff on here running that could just go away with a new computer. Start fresh. Thank you for your help, Graham!

i can also pause my backup for a time if I run into issues. But it seems to me that our conclusion is that it is time for a new and faster computer.

Here is the list - jumping all over the place - right now CPU is at 51%

Wow! How time passes! I have had the best luck with ASUS over the years, so looking at a new computer. I built this last one, and maybe I will build a new one. The plan below is one that I started to really notice this on - and it is about 5000 sq.ft. I have not messed with my camera and light settings - still learning things.

The main thing I see is my backup software, which runs less during the day, but seems to be hogging up resources. I will look into that and see if I can make some changes.

Thank you - I will look into this. I thought my build was about 2 to 3 years old, but now that I think about it, it maybe be like 5 or 6. But, if it is older, maybe best just to get a new computer as I would be up the creek if something happened. I have like 9 jobs I'm juggling now.

Thank you to both of you for spending the time to test. I think upgrading to 16GB is going to be the first move I make. Even ADT runs a little slow at times when I have other things open and being worked on.

Thank you Michael, for checking it out. I have a very powerful computer - I have built my own computers for many years. But the last build is about two years old, and who knows why in time computers just seem to get slower. Maybe it's time to reformat and start fresh. If it continues, I will do that. PS. Yes, we have beautiful beaches here!

Thank you!

I'm working on a new plan and just noticed that my Living Area square feet notation is missing. This is the second plan I have worked on in the past number of days that this has happened.

It is my template. This is the plan it was happening on just a while ago. I do have YouTube open and playing music - that might be part of my problem. MPI1825 Bill and Sharon Kirkwood.plan

At times, and not on even very large homes - like under 2000 sq.ft. - every edit I make, I get the popup telling me it is rebuilding the model. Now I am trying to force it and it's not doing it - of course! There are times I get a delay with my drawing and editing, and what I find is normal as I know there is a lot going on as the software recalculates. However, other times it just takes like 2 to 4 second with each step. Is there something I can turn off? This happens even if I only have the plan in front and no other windows/tabs open. I have tried rebooting. Once again, it is fine most of the time, but then I can work for an hour like this. I do not have my layout open either. Thoughts?

That did it! - It must have been a bad symbol. Thank you Eric!
