    I have owned X 13 since its release date but have yet to experience its magic because my current computer does not have the proper video card. 

    I'm not sure how decent your current processor is but if  you are willing to wait with a fairly decent one the CPU 3D Ray Trace is essentially the same picture however it takes an hour to two hours to process - about 35 cycles for outdoor and 50 for indoor - whereas the video card will do it in about 1 minute.   

     

    It is a shame the 3D function doesn't take advantage of the numa processing as far as I can tell on a decent video card without RT tech.

  2. Hello,

     

    Maybe the only way to buy is from them direct but I can't seem to find any discounts or anything and perhaps that is just the way it is.   If there is a legit way to get the software for even a few hundred less than $3000 I would really appreciate the info.    I realize they have the rental but if possible, I'd like to purchase if there are any big enough discounts.   

     

    Thank you.

  3. Thanks - so much!  I'll give this a try in a bit.  I didn't want to leave you hanging - I'll check on this in a few hours.   Oh - by the way the screen shot was from around the corner - between the garage and the main house attic - although it is probably the same issue.

     

    I'll also try that ignore second floor trick!  That was kicking my butt for hours!

  4. OK - this is kind of embarrassing to upload but if helps people like you willing to help why not?   Please be aware I don't claim to be an architect  or a interior designer.   I just thought I'd see what a house might be like visually if I wanted to know how much space I want if I had deep pockets and a couple of more cars than I currently have.    I then got playing with this a bit more and realized I enjoyed killing time with this due to covid.

    Not really able to tell what the first picture is...

    Thanks for taking a look - it is a view - looking over the wall at a wall behind it.   There is about a 2' gap over the wall that allows you to see beyond it.  I want the wall to go to the underside of the roof - not 2' below it.


    There is drywall  - then the wood color is the center of the wall construction and you can see more drywall in the background from another wall way behind it.  The murky green is insulation.

  6. Hello,

     

    I'm not sure why but if I specify that a all is an attic wall - it stops about 2 feet below the roof.  I need to divide my garage attic from my house attic and they share a wall on the 1st floor.   I'm trying to put in an attic wall above and it is about 2 feet below the roof construction.

     

    I tried a few things but couldn't figure it out - I turned off attic roof and it seems to go halfway into the roof construction but it doesn't go through the roof.
