  1. The GT720 is a card that is known to have this issue a couple of people have picked up an AMD Card to suffice till they get a new computer AMD RX 560D-4G D5 from Yeston. 4GB GDDR5
  2. Some Thoughts........ Are you using the Default Chief Theme (colors?) Latest Drivers installed for the 5700XT? macOS over-riding color scheme in Chief? Mick
  3. worth a try as it is almost a year out of Date and updating the Video Driver if from the same time period too..... Nvidia or AMD I see no sig , so not sure what the hardware is ....... Mick.
  4. A friend pointed out this one from ABS too , with slightly better components , it has the same Motherboard as I have actually, though I I don't personally know ABS nor have I ever used them so YMMV , ...they are a Newegg Subsidary apparently. https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ali535/p/N82E16883360140?Item=N82E16883360140
  5. @Chiefer Jintu does Rendering : http://www.jintudesigns.com/residential-renderings.html @ericepv as does Eric https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/26082-quality-3d-rendering-floor-plans-and-models-from-us-based-company/?tab=comments#comment-247069
  6. you're welcome..... this might help too...... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00032/creating-an-energy-heel-truss.html
  7. Chief places a Newel ( column) where-ever the Railing is broken in some cases you can set the AutoStart End setting to none for the end, but is also looks like you played with the Doorway at the top of the stair that Chief uses to make an opening in the railing as nothing lines up..... or you might need to play with it to fix it ? making the short piece Post to Rail may work too depending on the look needed , beam may need doing manually though... M.
  8. This can happen if the Roof Planes are not sitting on the top plate properly ie you raised roof Planes manually to get the right heel height, but Chief will frame the "space" Automatically to support the Roof and fill in the wall M.
  9. Walls>Layers ( Off or On? ) or maybe Main Layer Only is On ? Mick.
  10. Look like the OP has X6 , so the posted advice and symbol may not help him.....unless his Sig. needs refreshing ? M.
  11. Is auto generate Framing on in the Deck Room DBX ? you might want to turn on deck framing , posts, beams etc in the camera view The posts/footings will build down to the Terrain auto ....if you have one ? ( also not displayed in this camera if there?) There are a number of short tutorials in the KB as well if yu are new to Decks and using Railings to define them..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/category/226/decks.html https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 M.
  12. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 It is always best to post the plan if you can, there are just way too many variables, ie did you accidently spraycan the ceiling ? The .Plan file can be attached to a post but the new Forum now only allows 14mb , so you may need to zip the file 1st, they compress well , however make sure the Plan is not open in Chief when you do it as Chief locks the file and the Zip will be empty. ( 0kb)
  13. Please add this post as a "Sticky" somewhere thanks..... still not sure why new Users aren't ask to fill it in when joining , would help stop Spammers too. @Dan_Park
  14. If the Camera are "Live" I'd try sending them as Images to layout instead. ( my SOP ) and please Report to Technical Support , through your Digital Locker Mick.
  15. I see you don't like Chief's AO much either ( 8% ) did you try turning the sun setting WAY down ie 500 Lumen not 100,000 * at some point it's good to do your Forum Signature....so people always know what version you are using etc.... Mick.
  16. You can't in a plan that is already drawn ( you could display both if needed with the secondary format.) to Start a Metric Plan , Start by Opening the Plan from Template > and open ResidentalM.plan file ( the M on the end of names indicates Metric templates. )
  17. This will likely fix it ....are Electrical Notes Checked to display in the Schedule DBX?
  18. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Latest Driver Release July 19th 2021 DCH: https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/471.41/471.41-desktop-win10-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe STD https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/471.41/471.41-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe Mick
  19. In Plan , with Chief being a 3D Program EVERYTHING, is true to real world or "Life Sized" , and only once sent to Layout is anything "Scaled" , and as Glenn said it is just far easier to work Full Size , a lot of Details can be done with a Backclipped Cross Section for example, ie a typical Wall Cross Section, and then sent to a CAD detail , if needed for Cleanup, or left "Live" ........lot less "hand drawing" that way. Mick.
  20. How are you "snapping" the leader-line to the Room? Does the Block need UN-Blocking to work? M.
  21. This Option works fine IF , you don't use the Auto Monoslab foundation. *Chief likes Monos all at the same floor Height Chief Cheats and does not actually build a monoslab it is really a stemwall foundation made with a 16" thick stemwall and a 4" height to match the slab thickness so I use the same method , only manually, then add a few CAD lines as needed eg if you need a chamfer where you are? it may still show issues in 3D though *I keep my Autocad subscription because of stuff like this, *** TurboCAD Deluxe is way cheaper....
  22. I have found that many of the X13 Libraries for download were made in X12 ---- at least all but 9 Bonus Libraries Installed in X12 as well this week, so there maybe no reason to re-download libraries you all ready have , just make sure to run an Update when done.. M.
  23. That tells you you have not "played" with the wall in 3D/elevation which isn't recommended as standard operating procedure....(SOP) in chief.
  24. Just use the Windows Snipping Tool or the Screen Shot Tool (mac) and post it directly here ...no need for PDFs , many won't download them in this era of ransomware etc. They send you a Chief .Plan file now AFAIK , , you just need to extract the Zipfile they sent and then open the contents of the Zip in Chief. Eg with 7Zip or WinZip or even Windows 10 built In Extract Tool in file Explorer. * would be a good idea to do your Forum Signature too..... Mick.
  25. Should hopefully be a copy in the Auto Archive but I would just close the program and SAVE NOTHING when asked as a 1st attempt to recover. how to look for your Archives https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00099/accessing-your-archive-files.html
