Yes, helpful and you can but if you did not know what these lines were you could search for a VERY long clicking on each layer to see when they they disappeared, a VERY long time, ask me how I know?

Which catalog was it?

+1 and thanks again.

Thank you Michael, worked perfectly. For some reason I thought creating a pattern of some simple spaced vertical lines would be a super simple task, and maybe it was for you but I have no idea how and REALLY appreciate the help.

Looks nice. Fortunately I don't need near that level of detail, just a simple vertical pattern. Will figure it out. Thanks for all the help....

Here's an elevation shot of one side of the project. Anything short of a simple new pattern seems like a crazy amount of work. Are there no pattern gurus out there? Seems so simple on the surface...

Good idea but way too much work for this project with so many elevations and wall regions. For now I've just stretched the B & B pattern and it looks like that may work OK.

Thanks Eric and yes the patterns supplied by Chief work great but I need to show something with different spacing than Chief's stock patterns, more like 1 x 6 @ 12" O.C. rather than Chief's (assumed) 1 x 2's. I can stretch the existing pattern(s) and that works OK and that may have to do for now. It seems an easy task but have researched a bit and can find no simple answer or method...

I've got a project that must show a difference in B & B patterns for historical review and the Chief supplied patterns are OK for new construction but the old construction has a 1 x 6 batt @ approx. 12" O.C. and I need to apply that pattern to the old construction in elevation. How does one go about creating a custom pattern like this?

Did you try send as "current screen"?

Stepping Stones?

I dunno but if you don't experience any slow downs why would you upgrade? I have quite a few plans that 'hit the wall' and Chief just starts to crawl and it blows. Very time consuming and painful as my mind is going X miles an hour and Chief is going X minus 3 - 5 seconds slower.

Seeing that pretty clearly with the benefit of using the 1080 if I upgrade. I'll test a couple more plans at some point if I decide to upgrade but the video card doesn't seem to be a weak link on this system as well it shouldn't - the 1080 is very capable...

Just a little test to add to the confusion....

NICE job Jim! Yeah there's some really weak links in Chief as well some strong points but the curved wall tool has always been above my pay grade. Again nice job.

The 3 key will create a break in any line or p-solid like a region. Press the 3 key, click the break point where you want it. Now right click the new line segment and change to curve. VERY basic stuff. ...and yes there's a difference but I honestly don't know. Try googling for the answer? Here's a vid.

Too easy - here's a hint attached...

It's doable, painful using Chief's curved retaining wall (really, really awkward) tools, but doable. Same thing as above make sure the walls and regions don't overlap and sit adjacent to each other the proper distance. BOTH walls and regions are curved!!

Pretty sure the same principles apply, move the retaining wall lines and the elevation regions boundaries until it looks funky no longer...

What? Not a real world test? I dunno man..........

Hope this helps... Tony_House 3.plan

I think it might be bad forum form to not follow up on your first post by adding a second question under the same topic but perhaps you try learning about terrain regions. They are very powerful...

Was hoping you really didn't have to post that disclaimer as I for one understood those parameters from the beginning, but thanks anyway for those who did not. Now the remaining question, a HellCat Processor? Or a Hellephant processor? Maybe a Hellephant with a turbo cache? Could you run a couple tests please?

True, I think one of these is a much better investment.... https://jalopnik.com/the-1-000-hp-mopar-hellephant-crate-engine-sold-out-in-1834548083
