Call out arrows - nice.

Here's a roof framing bug I THINK I found. User error always suspect and only post to see if others experience the same thing? https://www.dropbox.com/s/10qkr4knn6vuqp6/ROOF BUG.plan?dl=0

Wanted to have a thread dedicated to all things X-14 which I think is a BRILLIANT release. There are so many new features it's really hard to keep up. Linked details - wow. That new text leader tool - awesome. Callouts can now have different arrow styles - LONG time coming but so, so nice. Way too much to list but nice job Chief. Really nice job.

I've got 2 new plans started with X14 and haven't used the new features yet but linking details? Sweet. Text leaders pulled from the text box. Nice. So much more. One small 'bug' so far upon moving doorways the preview of the doorway disappears so you can't see to relocate. I'll report. Otherwise stable here.

I was thinking the same thing, assuming your post is showing that enthusiasm?

Select foundation walls and spec 'stop at ceiling above' seems to have filled the gap with framing. Another method?

Yeah pretty dumb thread title but was curious how to auto build the condition here. Thanks raised floor 1.plan

I concur and might add a suggestion re: the 4TB 3.5" HD? Why? Genuinely curious. Backup? Or? A 2 TB NVME seems to make the most sense these days and will be faster than the other drives and speed is usually the reason for the season. Also do not forget a GOOD cooling system as I believe the i9-12900F's run pretty hot. Also good chance your post will get lost in this thread but good luck and let us know what you end up with please.

Thanks Rene, working through the video and appreciate the effort!! Some GREAT new features.

Same here. Chief advises against such things but I've had only a couple minor problems.

Never knew there was a 'Billboard' in Chief. Thanks Mark

I've used a poly line solid with the desired picture placed outside the windows. Worked OK and can be customized much more than a 'backdrop'.

Hard to jump into this conversation at this point and the OP's frustration is understandable but I was wondering if kgschlosser might find a way to post a/the plan he's working with and have someone else with a different video card or setup try the same RTRT runs and check results? Just an idea.

Very interesting. Thanks

'bout time for some teaser feature leaks doncha think?

I think the decision will pay benefits for a few years. Please let us know what you end up with.

Nice Gene...

The history of Chief is now a pretty long story and I don't remember all of it but I think there was a time when the Ray Tracing engine used to max out multiple cores (and there was/is a setting to do so) but most other operations performed better with a faster, single thread operation core machine. Nowadays, as Mark has noted, Chief seems to max out multi cores for every day operations. Either way the concern is a bit moot as today's processors have both very fast single core operations and multi core competence. None of that information would lead me to buy yesterday's 11 gen processor/MOBO when the newer 12th gen platform is available today.

I would seriously research this assumption, and would always get the latest CPU/MOBO platform when upgrading. GPU's can always be upgraded later.

NICE Mick. Will take some time to play....

THANK YOU Michael. Looks like Chief doesn't really like this condition. Appreciate the creative approach.

Awesome and very much appreciate the help. The pictures look very nice. I'm attaching what I see. Looks like the plan's corrupted? THANK YOU 460680887_roofdeeck_corrupt.plan

Can't seem to resolve this condition. Any help greatly appreciated. roof deeck 1.plan

THANK you so much Glenn! Your help is always very much appreciated. It did take me a while to locate the Roof Group in the 'Room' setting, even though you clearly stated as much in your reply. Brilliant! And thanks again. Now all we have to do is clean out all the debris in that valley
