I tried deleting the other two lights and set the fitting to "Use in Both" but it didn't help it seems... ***, just read you post above and turning to Spot after deleting extra lights finally got the weird shadow to disappear...
-
Yep the only option was to turn off shadows , point lights , spotlights etc made no difference , neither did the view type , PBR just looks worse than STD view. Are you two perhaps both using the same Video Driver ? are we all on the same version of CA? ie .54x64 My quick plan: Surface lights Plan.plan
-
The Driver ( 398.11) isn't that old but you could try the last of the 300 Series ...399. 24 which is what I am using..... I have seen a few issues reported on other forums with the newer 400 Series Drivers which is why I am still on 399.24 https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/137727 Lets see your NV-CP setting again after you update the drivers and reset them.....something doesn't sound right , definitely should not be slower.... maybe not a whole lot faster either but not slower....
-
I dropped it off the ceiling 16" ? like you and the Brown splotch tripled in size , So I guess it is somehow a shadow effect.... Will have play with my Nvidia Settings....
-
All 4 seem to be cutting holes in the Drywall here All sides present once I set clipping to 6" in the Camera DBX, both in plan and a qick box house plan.
-
Hmmm do I have the correct light fitting above?

if you use the x264vfw codec you will also get much smaller movie files that .avi too https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17455-x10-windows-7-video-card/?do=findComment&comment=146648

The sides appear to be there but WTH is the big brown splotch? ( awful weird shadow if that's what it is) it not there in the Library or Materials list..... or is my default Template screwy?
-
The attached pic shows CA-X10 has Crashed.......... ( not responding in red) Reboot and check settings again in NV-CP..... DON'T change settings while anything 3D is running. I am guessing your tried running 3D Views without opening and close Chief after making changes in NV-CP? What driver version are you on for the 970?
-
I normally use 2x4 Decking and Borders as it lasts better , and the Triple and Fascia works then , but for 2X6 you could do a double then blocking then another double (Including Fascia piece) perhaps? blocking takes forever , especially when every cut is on a 45° so the extra wood is easily paid for by the reduced labour. ***Looks like a number of your Rim-joists are using LVL at 1 1/8" not 2x10 etc...
-
Under Chief Arch. change Power to Max. Perf. and choose the OpenGL Card as the 970 , not autoselect. Under Global set power to Adaptive , not Optimal. If it is a desktop with the i7 iGFX Card make sure the Preferred Card is set to the 970 , so it uses it all the time too. **you may not have that option depending on the MB and if it auto-disables the iGFX card if a discrete GFX card like the 970 is plugged in.
-
Okay , I wasn't quite sure where we got to Do you normally frame your deck edge with a Single rim-joist? I think you Contractor will hate you for all that blocking It is usually stronger, faster and cheaper to build if you use a triple rim-joist and perhaps a Fascia (cedar?) to make up the width at the edge to catch the Border and plank ends. M.
-
did you drawing the beams and joists on 0 or 1 ? cos it's working for me on your plan after adding a blank foundation drawing on 0 .....
-
Maybe we better Start again Framing view with the Planks turned off shows me lots of Blocking, so what was the Issue? just that you had to lower it all manually? M.
-
Are the Decks auto built/framed? or did you draw the decks all manually? and then lower all the Framing? that would change things....as they are actually seen as Ceiling members or General Framing on the 1st Floor then I think.
-
Yes but the house must still be sitting on a foundation of some kind right? even if only 1-2ft high. or a Slab? you haven't built one yet , so in essence the House is Floating....
-
let me look at the plan.... why is there no foundation level?
-
you don't get this?
-
If your aren't showing Deck Framing on level 0 you won't see anything.....

https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01187/creating-a-barrel-roof.html Others on HomeTalk may have better Ideas than above too since they "know" your Software. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/?_fromLogin=1 Please fill in Your Signature as the Version you use is important...especially in this case as HD Pro cannot do what CA.X10 can.

It happens quite often in Plans brought Forward .......the Fix is usually to Group Select all text , open the DBX, make no changes and close it again , so it fixes itself.
-
a quick guess would be you are drawing them on level 1 not level 0 so it thinks it is a Ceiling joist for level 1 , ie any framing below 0" is displayed on the Foundation level so you need to do the Blocking there too At least that is the one that gets me with the way Chief Works
-
Your signature isn't accurate , it that the hardware you are still on? I shot the view above and like Graham it was about 6 secs...but my hardware is a generation ahead of yours as I think is Grahams', I went from a 970 to a 1070ti earlier this year after noticing slow down due to the new RCS Shadows in X10 ( I believe) but it was not a WOW what an improvement or noticeable speed improvement really. Are you sure Chief is using the GTX 970? and not the intergrated GFX Card? is CA assigned the 970 for OpenGL and set to maximum Power in Nvidia Control Panel?
-
OOPS ! my bad ..... it would seem the mistake was mine and has confused people..... I will change my other post to reflect this so others aren't confused....... Still Impressive work I think.... M.

no need to be home but go ahead and try it at home 1st ...works for me.... Open CA on the laptop and click the link in the popup saying it needs activation , you should end up on a webpage showing your Current activated licenses, click on In Use, webpage changes and you get a make available Button, click that, then restart Chief again and click activate with the Current Key. that should be all it takes..... Of course if you are not Home , you will need Wifi for the Laptop as you need Internet but nowadays you can actually do it via your Phone too, via your Digital Locker. ( do you know the Password? )
