JLU_Design

Since you brought it up.... I use linux for everything except Chief Architect. I have a headless PC running Windows 11 specifically for Chief Architect that I use over a 2.5G network connection. I have been doing this for several years now with great success. If Chief would run on Linux I wouldn't have any real reason to have a Windows machine. Linux is way more stable than Windows in my experience. I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition because I wanted long term stability not the latest flashy tricks. Earlier this year I had a bad Windows update that I could not recover from and had to reinstall Windows on that machine. This setup saved me a lot of headache because I don't keep any critical documents or files on the Windows machine. I'm thinking of trying to visualize the windows machine on a Proxmox server sometime. Linux does what an operating system is supposed to do with out imposing itself into your business "Copilot"

I am working toward using the project management option because of all the advantages it brings. My plan is to export "archival" copies of the .caproj file to my project directory which is also stored in dropbox. This means I can remove completed projects from Chief to reduce clutter but can reload a project at any time I may need it. I really think the new project management is a huge improvement.

You could try this: It's a little hard to say for-sure without the plan file.

You could try this: %"First Line \n Second Line"% There may be other ways to accomplish this but it's the first one that popped into my head.

Drop the roof plane 2 inches and rebuild the trusses.

I think this may be part of your problem I don't think Chief likes the baseline out at the edge of the roof. For some reason I can't select that particular roof plane in the plan you sent. I can select the other roof planes but not that one.

Style Palette for everything!!! I know there's probably limitations but still...

Do you have a picture of a cabinet with one of the moldings you mentioned? I have some Ideas but I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

You made me think of this book: Get Your House Right Chapter 10 talks about Cornices and Eaves

You definitely need a larger hard-drive. You may need more ram as well. If you are short on ram your computer may be trying to use a swap partition on the hard-drive as well which could be exasperating the problem. I would also recommend this tool box to fix common windows problems which could potentially improve the performance of your PC. https://christitus.com/downloads/

My guess is you may want to adjust your exposure.
