I maybe wrong Antoine , but as far as I know there is only a 90 Day forgiveness Policy on SSA and after that you must Upgrade to the Current version. However if you upgraded now, it would come with SSA, and you would get X12 in 2020 as part of SSA. IF you wait and upgrade to X12 next year (March/April?) direct you will have to pay an extra level of upgrade cost eg rather than X9 to X11 it would be X9 to X12 and I am not sure you would save anything doing that . If you are lucky they might have an Xmas Sale again on Upgrades and New licences so you might be able to save 10%??? and still get X11 and SSA and X12 in March/April or whenever it comes out. M.

Yes , some of Chief's "auto" texture orientation can be a PITA for sure............. With Drawer and Door front's though it is sometimes as easy as switching the Drawer front from Default to the Slab type from the Library ( not the auto Slab option which uses the same "default" orientation) in this particular case.

There should be an auto archived file and backup in the Archive folder , which is inside Chief's Data Folder in My Documents. If setup properly you should have lost more that about 5 mins of work hopefully. M.

This works for a down and dirty method ......the pic is custom gutter and gable shadow board profiles ( since we can't control individual eave or gable shadowboard offsets, the eave shadowboard doesn't sit quite right...or i didn't play long enough?) Molding Polyline should work just fine too ( since a gutter is just an auto generated one) but will also be way more time consuming go up the gable etc.

it's Under the Railing Menu Item next to the Wall Menus/Icons

A room molding Polyline will work in this case too , you just need to manipulate it to fill the gap and turn that piece back on. It actually easier to add the room molding polyline BEFORE you draw the Room Divider (RD), nothing to do then as it is already there, the RD doesn't seem to effect it

perhaps share the plan in your other thread ( its not a nvidia problem apparently) so someone can have a look for you...... How many lights are in the Plan? as I see your max is set at 60 ......that could be 1 rope light...... ( Re Cheryl's Thread ) M.

Chief only adds the "Auto Light" in the center of the Room if there are no "User added Lights" in a Plan AFAIK , so looking from a Room without added lights into a room that does may seem okay , but other rooms may appear "dark" M.

I would just join and make your own post, explaining you aren't a "techie" too .... lots of knowledgeable people over there who will likely try to help... M.

Thanks for the Help BT , much appreciated Mick.

Do some searching on MAC issues over on the Nvidia Forums ......join and Post over there Perhaps for the best help.... https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/discover/ M.

Well it not really mine, it was BrownTiger's info from an earlier post (it is a standard Ruby command to clear Hashes.... in this case $tree) I used Michael's Method to deploy it originally on the Attic Level but I too have found that Opening and Closing the Schedule causes the macro to be refreshed so there is no need to go up and down the levels although that works too. M.

To do it roughly you can /12 (to get feet) and round it up (.ceil) to the nearest ft Not sure the items Fascia line is needed ??? Note the current formula ii for Eave Fascia only ...this will also show/add the Ridge for example on a Shed or mono slope roof

any of the walls labelled "no room def." I don't see Slabs/floors on those Porches either? I am assuming they are "Rooms" in the Chief sense......... M

Not sure about New versions but in older Versions the trick was to Print to PDF at 12 x 18 ( max size for HD Pro I think? ) then Print the PDF at 200% for 24 x 36. I too think you are wrong about the Dims.... M.

Good Point ... it should never be Off if you are using PBR Views from what *Dermot or *Brian said a while back. *CA Software Developers

No , just use a Straight Railing off the Railing Menu and define it per the Deck Railing along with setting it to "Follow Stairs" . Turn the Railings OFF on the Stairs themselves in that DBX. (might be already by the looks?) M.

Post your Plan if you are still having Issues so someone can have a look for you..... always the best advice since there are just too many variables. M.

This....... I don't remember the "Make this...tool" in a recent version of Chief ? In the video She likely has the Defaults already setup , then she changes some settings in the Render Tech. which are live/instant, been a year since I watched that video so not quite sure what She did now.... M.

Not for the Default setting changes as they won't apply to existing cameras , you will need to open/shoot new cameras for the new Defaults, The Settings under Rendering Technique change pretty instantly though , these can also be setup in Defaults once you find settings you like, so when you switch to PBR from STD you are close to what you like.

Try .4 Exposure and turn on Improve Lighting Quality I also bump the Brightness to 70-80 for interiors ---a tip from Graham

It sounds like you might not be switching the Camera Rendering Type to PBR from Standard after shooting the Camera? by Default the Camera is usually in STD view , then you can change the Rendering Type

You can put this in your Forum Signature , so you don't need to post it each time ... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 some answers are version specific and also in that vain the HD Line has their own Forum over here too: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

Did you download the Macros I posted earlier in the Thread? import the clear_hash macro, it helps force a reset of the Roof Planes ( or room info if using that Macro too ) I have it in a text box on the Attic level but that maybe not necessary ? Mick.
