did you try adding Ceiling finish and Highest Ceiling to the Marks to include ? it maybe a reach issue too , ie it doesn't see that ceiling if say reach is only 25% , try 100% as a test perhaps then dial it down as needed. M.

That's one of those little areas where CA is a little too smart for it's (our) own good, it automatically makes two subsections the same width if they are connected, we would need the ability in the DBX to lock the Width of subsections to get around it. M.

You can turn off Callouts and Specify the Label instead and use the Schedule and width x height macros..... do it in your Defaults>Window and it will be used for ALL Windows from then on. Do it in your Template plan if it's something you want to always have too.

Are you talking about the Schedule Callouts perhaps ? enable it in the Schedule Options>Labels>Use Callout.....pick a shape and text size M.

Carl, you can download the File from your Digital Locker or from the Program Archives if you are just trying to re-install it? Scroll to the very bottom for X1 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/updates/oldupdates.html

did you give the CAD boxes a fill perhaps? The icon should be on the Edit ToolBar unless you turn something off perhaps?

you can set the default in Preferences>Architectural to treat them singularly/independently or not .... not sure if that is the issue or not ..... but normally draw one set , draw the 2nd set at right angles to it then click in the corner between the two to get the Auto landing...

Check this thread Alan , Rotate is a PITA to Work in..... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/20736-odd-angle-drawingmodeling/?do=findComment&comment=168728

Good Advice.... This is not that uncommon around Dormers etc especially on steep Roofs you can also try selecting the Wall ( red ) and dragging the wall polyline up into the Corner....Pink.....

Do a Forum Search as MarkMC did a plan a while back which had a few different ones in it ...... ***edit found it easier than I thought.... @MarkMc

It's another of those half done features that has never quite been finished and has ALOT of quirks.....there is a (many) reason most don't use it or only use it when there is no choice

You don't need to use all CAPS Jim ...in internet speak that is the same as "shouting"..... Hold the Ctrl Key as mentioned on your other Thread to open two instances at once.... M.

I had a play around with a couple of textures I found online , the single tiles cause too many Repeats for my liking, so I made them into 4'x6' samples too rotating the image to break the repeat. If you have Photoshop skills you can likely do better, I just used Paint to do these, but should give you the idea..... they will be in a Folder called Marble once imported to your User Library. M.

Check the Ref. Manual page 812 onwards....

Printing a Screen capture would be the easiest way..... M.

I use the Windows Snipping Tool in Accessories for doing this and also DBX etc This can also be done.......... by holding the Control Key and Clicking the Chief Icon again....

The easiest method as Phil and Mark mentioned is to find a Tile in the Library of the desired size and then change the Texture to the desired Carrera Marble, this can be hard as you need a nice image of the tile you want to use eg from the Manufacturer's Website . The DalTile Library has a number of 12x24 Tiles too eg in the Kimono Silk or Pietra Jura or EC1 Folders. There is a Short CA Video on making Custom Tile which might give you some more insight too : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10145/creating-custom-tile-materials.html

Normally trusses will automatically remove/replace any (Automatic) Framing they intersect or in their immediate area eg Roof Rafters or Walls, and the Reduced Gable End Truss normally replaces the Gable End wall's (Attic) Wall Framing automatically if it is placed correctly behind the Sheathing. This is just a Test Building which I put Trusses on only 1/2 the roof and as you can see the Reduced Gable End Truss (Black) has removed the wall framing seen on the other end of the Building. As you can also see there is no rafters between the trusses I made White for easier identification *** rebuild framing if you don't get similar results

I do believe I am slightly closer to Idaho than you however it seems to post before you or Eric I have to come here at 2AM but all good, as long as someone is answering right !

You could copy and paste one of mine into your Plan , depending on the Object Type I am not sure if everything will be "blockable" in the 3D model. Glenn's (or the STD) way will most likely work better I think if you want to resize and then rebuild Roofs M.

That's surprising , Win 10 will normally try and update your Drivers along with Win10 itself., can't remember if it was 398.36 or 398.98 that had some issue for me though. 391.24 was a good driver for me too and 399.24 too........ https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/137729 I am using 417.35 on my desktop though.

It appears I just didn't have a nice dark gray texture to use in the Normal slot ...I do have that Swirl-Grey in your pic above and it works Your Material Works fine too , so thanks. M.

Thanks Jintu , for some reason I could not get the results you were so will try this one out , much appreciated. Mick.

I almost made a note last night to say you'd know how to fix it however I should have thought of that too but hardly every use that option actually. M.

I have never seen or heard of an access denied error from the NV Control Panel , which Nvida driver Version are you on currently? I have had some bad interaction between the Intel iGPU Drivers and the dedicated NV GPU Drivers though. the latest are 417.35 , the notebook version is here : https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/141171 It sounds like it was using the intel iGPU for 3D previously ...which is why I recommended you set the OpenGL which Chief 3D uses to the Nvidia Card. Unlike games it seems the NV Driver does not recognise CA as a 3D App and doesn't switch to the more powerful card. It will use the intel card for 2d like the plan views to save battery unless you set the Preferred Card to the Nvidia card for full time use , will use more battery though but not a big deal if always plugged in on your Desk.
