    Hardware Recommendations

    In my experience, using Quatros was a waste of money. Seems like a fast gaming system is a way to go if you're doing a lot of renderings. Keep in mind that raytracing uses your processor, while most of the other rendering styles rely on your video card. Take a look at my signature, which is a new system. No complaints. 

    Object line change from plan to layout

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    In Layout, select the view you're having problems with;

    Click on the Layer Set Options;

    Select the same Layer Set as the one in plan view that looks correct. (that you thought you sent to Layout); 

    That should fix it so you're seeing the same lines as the one in your plan view. 

    Network User Library in X11

    I use three systems, with all the library items in DropBox. This works flawlessly as long as A} the preferences in all three machines point to the correct folder, and B} this is the kicker, the files are not open on multiple machines at once. But I'm assuming you work simultaneously.

     

    I recall at the Users' meeting that networking is now possible, so I'd give tech support a call and see what they recommend. 

    Invisible Wall Breaks

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    552257038_Untitled3.thumb.jpg.43a03a40f095ad98fed4ef0bf6bab6c0.jpgThis is so odd. There are new wall break lines that aren't really breaks, in four places. 

     

    1. Where the two invisible walls (dashed) touch the walls, they appear to break the solid wall, but the wall is not broken. When I select those walls they are whole. The "breaks" show regardless of whether the invisible walls are showing, and the "breaks" move in conjunction with the invisible walls when I move them. 

    2. The "breaks" on two corners are not breaks either. They appear to be Through-Wall-Lines, but that layer is off. When on, yet another line appears in another corner. 

     

    The adjacent rooms are the same height. 

    The walls are all the same type. 

    Temporary dimensions on one wall go to the surface (as it should), yet on another wall in the room goes to the main layer. 

     

    I usually try to get feedback from your peeps before I send into support. 

    New computer system

    in General Q & A

    My old system:

    Win 10 Pro; i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz (12 CPUs); 16GB RAM; GeForce GTX1060 6GB; 500GB SSD

     

    My new system: 

    Win 10 Pro; i7-8700 CPU @ 3.70GHz (12 CPUs); 32GB RAM; GeForce RTX2080 8GB GDDR6; 500GB SSD

     

    Not a huge difference as far as I can tell. Just thought I'd put it out there. 

    .PL1 files

    After searching old threads, it doesn't appear that anyone has a solution. But if any of you old timers found one, please let me know how you've been able to view these ancient Chief files.

     

    Maybe someone has an old version that I can "borrow?" But damn, all my dongles are long gone. 

    Adding Cabinet Pulls

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    I"m sure it must be me, but when creating a pull, or getting one from 3D Warehouse, and converting it to a symbol, I don't see how to attach it to a cabinet. When I open the symbol, I assume I should check the radio button "Inserts into Cabinet Front." But it doesn't show up in the library. Who knows the proper way to create cabinet pulls and add to the library?
