Thanks for help with my issue.  Is there any adjustments I can make in the 3d settings that will help speed things up?

I am using a desktop, and have for a year.  Just recently started moving really slow.  Last few projects 

I have a 

Intel(R)Iris(R)Xe Graphics

NVIDIA Geforce MX 550

Here it is, just started it yesterday, so I is still a pretty small file

Good Morning, I have an issue with 3D.  I have read a few threads, but I can't figure what I have check on in the past week that is causing seriously slow movement just in the 3D camera view.  I have several plans that are slow, so I don't believe that it is the plan, vs maybe RTRT.  I am unsure what I can turn off to improve my lag

not sure how everyone else does it, but I generally do not use the working layer set. I have my foundation SPV set up, so that any text created on it, is put on a layer Text, Foundation. If you are just using the working plan SPV, and want to accomplish the same thing, you have to change the annotation set (Active default). I find just using the SPVs simpler

 

The only reason I use the working layer set to to see what is all on the plan, because the "All on set" is too much

 

Ok, thanks.  So, do you generally begin drawing on the main floor of your plan and in a main floor plan view or one similar.  I assume all of the in from any SPV is available for any View??  

Yep that worked.  Thanks for the quick reply!

Hello, I have a question that is very hard for my mind to figure out, and probably simple for everyone else.  I have never been able to successfully use Saved plan views.  My question is, when I change my foundation Saved plan view, it also changes my working layer set view.  I am not sure how to change this.  So I then can't remove cabints from my foundastion because it changes the Working layer set. I think maybe that I have always drawn the plan in the Working layer Set.  Should I use a different Saved plan view to begin a new plan?  I would begin in Working Layer set and then save different Saved Plan views for my layout.  I don't quite understand the Working Layer set

Perfect thank you!

are you pressing the auto exterior dimension after you put in the p2p dimension,

 

or are you suggesting you go to another view and come back and now they are gone?

 

I use a separate dimension layer for dimensioning foundations. i auto do them first and then manipulate the auto line to be where I want or p2p it. I have never seen the p2p vanish

 

I can't seem to find anywhere, but how do you create a separate dimension layer for your foundation?  I know it must be simple, but I am not sure what to do

That worked for both of my problems!  Thank you

Hi, I am drawing a new plan and I messed up something that I can't figure out what and now I have a few things wrong in my plan.  1st is at all of my wall connections it is showing a line where they meet and I don't know if that is related to my real problem.  My basement floor doesn't show rooms or floors.  Except interior rooms it is showing a room with a concrete floor.  All the other rooms are missing the floor.City View Ranch.plan

City View Ranch.plan

That's Perfect, thank you

For Instance, how can I separate these 3 windows and the space in the wall to be equal distance from each other?

This might help you out:

 

How do I find this menu?

I typically want them to space evenly from the exterior.  Trim is not really a factor as I would just like to space the multiple windows in a specific wall without having to go through each space add the extra space and divide into equal portions 

I am new to chief, and I can't seem to find an automatic way to get same dimension on multiple windows in a wall.  If I have 3 windows, can I get the same space between the windows without manually setting the dimensions and having to divide the measurements to get the spaces equal?
