Are you talking about the Windows in Room 8 and 10 and the 45° wall between them? ( btw is room 9 missing? ) Chief really doesn't like extra thick walls,with deep recesses it seems, eg many European thick stone walled Buildings, you will find other posts on the Forum about that issue, as there are several Users from France who have run into issues too especially when the area where the windows and doors are is thinner, Chiefer doesn't cover the ends of the thicker part properly is that your issue too? Some images of the Issue may help someone suggest a few workarounds ....nice images in the Goodies thread BTW M.

Faulty Graphics Card ?.....try another Card if you can or RMA the 1070 perhaps I assume you have set Chief to use the 1070 in Nvidia Control Panel and that OpenGL is set to render on the 1070? (ie there is no iGFX card interfering with the 1070)

- A new Fresh install on a New computer will have nothing from the previous System or any of your Personal Files or any Libraries other than the Core Libraries. - Bonus Catalogs have always been a separate Download , the Core libraries can be installed via the Library menu though. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true Personally I save any Bonus Libraries I download to a Separate Folder and it is backed up to an external HDD Drive along with the Chief Data Folder, so I don't have to go through the Online Library one Bonus Lib. at a time to download them ever again. If you don't have a Backup "in the Cloud" or on an external drive of the Chief Data Folder in My Documents ( and your plan Files if not kept there) then your only hope is accessing the HDD from the old system as mentioned. If you do have a backup you will also be able to save your User Catalog too from the Library.

perhaps if you entered a positive number it is refusing to do it ? since the other numbers are negative but Eric is right best to post the plan for quick answers like this. M.

Wrong version year of the .skp file perhaps? or just a bad 3D Warehouse Model KB

I also use 125% Windows Scaling (recommend) and sometimes also see this Issue.

You need to include the Plan File with the layout otherwise views can't be refreshed..... I see an office reno , so am not sure what Bracket you are talking about , I thought it was a Rafter Layout PS it is best to Annotate in the Elevation View and then send to Layout, I am see cutoff Text boxes in this layout. you should fill in your Forum sig. Janea, and let people know what Version of CA you are Using, it is important for answers, see mine below.

Yes there is a Tutorial in the KB on how to migrate files and move to a new computer. Yes Via your home network assuming both are connected to the same Router. You can use Google or Dropbox yes, though personally I don't trust it 100% and keep my own backups Not once the File is loaded locally as far as I am aware. ( the same file can not be accessed by both computers at the same time) M.

From my research, MSI currently has the best cooling solution for this combo.....in the US both Best Buy and NewEgg carry exclusive Models at good prices. M.

You could perhaps use a separate Plan file for each State with the Notes in a CAD Detail and send them to Layout from there at the correct Scale. M.

post images direct to the Forum , not PDFs which need to be downloaded..... Lower Wall Type if cut by Roof perhaps? posting the plan may help too

I think you can open it in X8 1st and resave it to the newer .plan type you can use the CA X8 Viewer to do this if you don't have X8 instead. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html see the Green highlighted area for the link....

I think this image about the Scale Factor came from a Dan Baumann Video I was watching Online... Are you using the CTRL Key with the Tape Measure CS? otherwise it with snap to the Grid if it's on which IS a PITA and I have no idea why it does that....

You should have something in your Archive Folder assuming Autosave is setup in Preferences...

I like my 32" BenQ VA ( IPS like) Panel BL3200PT monitors, there is a newer Model ( size up from Mark's above) out now , so not up on current pricing. 4K did not work for me at the time , I tried a 43" TV 1st and decided dual 32" would work better. M.

did you only import the Plat Layer from the DWG or EVERYTHING? the Plot Plan Annoset takes about 2mins to open for me, not often I see the spinning blue circle, but the Plan opened in 15-20 secs. if you click the fill window icon while in 1/4" scale Anno the house is barely visible , it's a tiny little black dot , so my guess would be the DWG has something very large (whole County?) in it or it was imported at the wrong scale perhaps? Did you try again with a backup copy of your plan?

KnowledgeBase.......... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01027/creating-an-elevated-structure-on-pilings.html

In the KB there is an Article on doing elevated Structures in CA....it has not been updated for x9/x10 though. M.

I think the Teaser only related to the ML and selecting Items there ie Find in Plan which takes you back to plan View with the item ( and layer on) selected or any one of them selected....not much help if its a floor joist etc , even then it is not with two windows open AFAIK. M.

I think we have all wished for this but I have always assumed there is a reason they can't do it easily (programming) otherwise it would already be happening as it would be a no-brainer otherwise.... M.

Yes , One off them should look at the house before Demo and determine what if anything is Savable, as mentioned above in some Jurisdictions Foundations cannot be reused... M.

Oops sorry P. for some reason I thought you were in San Diego , but maybe that is just Scott?

Thanks for getting back with more info Joe M.

Hi Joe , the Screen is not an Issue I just updated the"material" for Rene's window, Steve was wondering how to use the Window with NO Jambs or Casing , ie with just drywall returns but it appears that the parametric Jamb setting is ignored in this case , as Rene Built the window with a full Depth one.... so the Question was if Rene's Window had no Jamb in the Symbol would CA's Parametric one work as Usual?

That is the Cabinet Schedule in the OP Pics not the Fixtures Schedule which controls the Appliances and other Interior Fixtures (eg Bathroom fixtures) M.
