Turn off the Stair railings altogether and then draw your own Straight Railing , setting it to "Follow Stairs" , then change to panels etc just like on the Deck Railing. Mick.

And they wouldn't do it for you ? , I'd have thought they would if both versions were licensed to you ? M.

Note the Link to the X8 viewer in this KB Article in the Green Shaded area. Once the file is opened in the X8 Viewer save it and it will convert it to the new File type for you. YMMV though as if you only have the pl-1 file, the others maybe missing. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html

What Greg meant was go here ..... at least for Brosco Moldings.......... https://www.brosco.com/resource-center/cad-drawings/ if they aren't in the Brosco Chief Catalog already? Chief Library is here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/977 New England and Windsor1 also have libraries but also not Complete Catalogs https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/712 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/713 M.

These tuts. in the KB may get you started........ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00166/creating-a-custom-molding-profile.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00899/creating-a-stepped-molding-profile.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00824/editing-a-molding-profile.html

I think it is there so if you have done a lot of manual changes to the Deck Framing you don't lose those if you need to rebuild it for some reason. M.

19 = 2019 I assume Looks correct to me M.

Reshaping the Wall seems to work okay , delete the small triangular automatic wall with siding that generates on the right

Reshape the Wall Polyline perhaps , but as Eric said easier to diagnose with the Plan available. M.

Thanks BT , I really appreciate you looking at the Sort Order issue/request and re-writing this Macro , so I didn't need to Play with the code you supplied above and figure out where I was going wrong ! And for Supplying the Macro as a standard Text file , so much easier to read etc in Notepad .

Probably changed the number style to Decimal Feet when you were doing your Plot Plan earlier....

1 option possibly, would be the Post with Footing Tool and edit the Footing to the size need , you'd still need to add the Cap yourself though eg with a Slab or P-Solid. If you need to show more material types you may need to add a 2nd Slab or P-Solid.

Ouch ...... I don't think Rob made the claim it was Photo-Realistic , just faster and better than some other views available....... Just set your Raytraces to run after you leave the Office at the end of the Day perhaps.... personally I am hoping for some changes in X12 now Nvidia is supporting RT in Real-time , of course we may not get it to X14 or Xxx?..... M.

No Attachments..........but double check that you have Snaps ON , not just set to 1" ( or 1/2" or whatever you prefer )

If it is an Image you should be able to save it as a Material to the Library and Apply it normally via the Room DBX.

Reference Layer with only Stairs and Ramps Turned on perhaps? M.

You are correct BT, I tried opening the .json Chief saves directly in the hope of comparing your new and old code yesterday and of course got all the hidden text etc etc. The Font Size is way too small to work with easily if you aren't a 20 something anymore I did not think about using a simple copy and paste to NP++ (or even windows NP?) from the Edit DBX and back again if needed. I believe the Help System uses QT framework too and it has a Zoom function , so I wonder why it hasn't been implemented in the TMM/TMM Edit DBX. I have Suggested several times that Chief allow us to Change the Font to our liking through the Program as , at the moment only parts of it respond to the Windows Font settings , maybe in X12 since we got Themes in X11....... Mick.

Good news , luckily Graham had a brain wave

Oh Wow , interesting ...that would be bad unless it has other Ports like VGA or Display Port , assuming they don't have the same issue. I assume it has Bios 1.12 ? it's old, Dec. 2016 , but may correct some issues if yours is not upto date. M.

Wow Acer is brutal , there isn't a single hit for your particular Intel HD 530 on the Microsoft Update Catalog, which explains why it says you are upto date, lots for other brands eg Lenovo , with the PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B GFX Card but generally they won't install without the full number. Found some Info back on 10Forums ( great Site for all things Windows 10 ) here for your CPU and HD 530 in the 2nd section for Gen.6 Chips. https://www.tenforums.com/graphic-cards/14192-latest-intel-graphics-driver-windows-10-a.html Know that you download any drivers at your own risk and as it seems the Driver type has changed from Standard to the Modern DCH Drivers make sure to download the .EXE version NOT the .zip version here : https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29113/Intel-Graphics-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT A FULL IMAGE BACKUP with a rescue disk/usb made and tested.....PLEASE I use Macrium Reflect Free for this purpose , do a search on 10Forums if you need it, for more info, or have a local computer store do it all for you.... M.

Nope -- an upgrade has been suggested. I use Notepad++ to edit. Hi Eric what settings in NP++ do you use to display .json files correctly ? currently it is just one long line and wordwrap doesn't format , just wraps to window. I can't remember what I did to get it to display Arduino Files properly , so hope you can remember what .json needs.... Thanks, Mick.

One Idea........If you put the Macro %scale% in a Text Box in Plan (not Layout) you won't need the ruler as you zoom in and out.... M.

Details Tab >Hardware ID Dropdown> ( see my pic above) ....copy and paste the PCI/Ven Code info back here please... Also what is the EXACT Model Number of your Acer Nitro Laptop please , it is not in your Signature after all. M.

Ultimate is not an option on Laptops , but High should be, though some laptop manufacturers seem to disable all but balanced. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/110372-restore-missing-default-power-plans-windows-10-a.html
