You can also once clicked Close to what you want, use the Next icon on the Toolbar or perhaps quicker use the TAB key to scroll through things in the area of the Click. M.

I changed the Wall type to Railing Fence from Interior Railing (what you are seeing is the Drywall on the wall/floor below the railing) and checked Follow terrain and it seems to fix it, you'll need to alter the height again as you lose the Floor thickness from the height. Check DJP's video for other Ideas , I didn't look at it....

The Error reporting message does work , once they had a bad plan from me they were able to check those reports and figure out an Issue for me earlier in the year, so it is worth send bad plans in. *** Re the EKG I can relate , exact same thing happened to me, She was so freaked out, She pulled me off the Treadmill before it even stopped. She forgot to push record or something in the Panic, so I heard the Cardiologist telling her off.....I offered to get back on the treadmill ( I hadn't felt a thing) but there was no way they'd let me.

did you try 3D Warehouse? (Trimble) M.

Thanks Mark , that sounds good and makes me wonder even more why CA's symbols can't measure to centers too.... The 0" high seems wrong but it works ? that's one I haven't seen before. M.

Yep, strange one.......but then we know CA hates anything Round with lots of polygons......and many 3D Warehouse symbols are done by Students learning Sketchup for a School course, so you really need to check the Polygon count. M.

it's a pretty common error if you google search it..... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&q=fbx+converter+not+enough+parameters&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOkIyR2_7dAhUnJTQIHRpqAUwQ1QIIqgEoAg&biw=1425&bih=936 did they change the Converter to an SDK Kit? https://www.autodesk.com/products/fbx/overview

Perhaps they can Print to a different PDF Printer then, if using Sketchup's built-in one? eg BullZip which I use.

I have not seen that Alan , did you try importing into the plan and then sending to Layout ( I may misunderstand your workflow here? ) Mick.

I would contact Tech Support with this kind of Issue..... Are you the only one accessing your particular plan? , that is the only thing I can think of , other that the VPN used? some are slow due to encryption I have read.

Using FBX in what? I don't have anyway to test the File if it works..... Your DB is empty ?

Check the MEP Library Items and 3D WareHouse for Sketchup Files you can convert. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php Also, it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in, especially with the Software Version, and of course a real Name is nice too .............. See mine below in Blue for how to do that. If you don't see my Signature then you have them turned off for the Forum so you need to Toggle it on by going to the Upper RH Corner of this Forum Window and Clicking on your Username and making sure Signature are enabled (green) and then Add your Own Sig. too : UserName> Account > Signatures M.

CA can import OBJ but not export AFAIK.... Did you try exporting 3DS instead ? looks like AutoDesk FBX can convert them too http://download.autodesk.com/us/fbx/Converter_online/index.html?url=WS1a9193826455f5ff-3a29af00119afd28e95-21e6.htm,topicNumber=d0e273

How appropriate thanks.... didn't know he could play like that.....not just a pretty face apparently. M.

I think you are talking about my Green Treated Spruce Material right? in that case when I made it I inadvertently named it the same as CA's default material and dropped it into the Root of the Textures Folder and Chief was finding it 1st before looking deeper in the other Folders and/or Referenced Zips which made Plans using the default CA texture look all wrong with my Green Spruce Treated Lumber. Mick.

Ahhhh.... I did post a while back in the Tips Forum that Ram Drives makes CA do weird things , including not Update Correctly..... I also had issues with Windows Update assigning my temp Folder to the Ram Disk. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17662-why-does-ca-get-slower-and-slower-the-more-i-use-it-solved/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-162092 *** ahhh I see you found that thread...... M.

Ahhhh....no I hadn't twigged to the difference in what was Purple but sounds similar to MTL's issue with templates too. M.

PM him and see what the issue was.... I didn't find much Else on it but maybe CS did from his Post earlier in the Thread?

see the last part of his comment.......

I don't recommend updating a Bios from a Windows App but in this case it sounds like it worked out okay..... Use EzFlash in the Bios , it is much safer..... Pity that wasn't it though , you are sure it isn't the backdrop right? since it's only effecting the BD now? very strange one .......Only RT right? not PBR or anything else?

then the name would be...

This happens when you assign a Railing Panel as a Baluster in a Baluster Type Railing , instead assign the Cable to the Panel in a Panel type Railing and its all good.... This still happens in X10 too if you assign the wrong railing types... M.

I think I am seeing the same weirdness fairly frequently , I will need to open and close views more often it sounds like. M.

It looks like you need to Use a Corner Cabinet where you can specify the Right and Left length..... or use an angled front? .... ....it can be done with 2 modified 12" cabinets ....one set as the angled Part. If not please give us more details to help you and please do you Forum Signature and different versions of the software require different answers. M.

This is the Material I changed from the one included.......with your skills you can likely make it better..... Mick. MHD_Window Screen Material.calibz
