  1. Doesn't sound right ? but maybe Eric is onto something.... how are you setting the 1st Floor height and does it match the Floor Default ? ( each floor has a Default accessed only when on that Floor btw) Defaults>Floors and Rooms>Current Floor>edit and look for the floor level in the title bar of the DBX (dialog Box) to ensure you are on the right Floor.
  2. You need to NOT paint exterior Walls especially twice ! your wall definitions are all screwed up in this plan.... siding 6 , brick 6 etc etc are ALL using Moss Green Alum. siding, Painted "Antique" as the material .... you need to select the wall and switch the Materials to Default in the Material DBX , in the case of the Siding 6 which is usually Lap Siding you have also changed the wall Definition and painted it Be a good Idea to hit the Purge Button while in the Material DBX too to remove unused materials from the Plan before choosing Default. Don't try cutting the wall right at the Corner like in your pic, do it about a foot away and once the wall is defined properly just drag the new wall out to the Corner and let it join up at the corner like normal. M. figured you might want the plan back too.... FS 2_MHD.plan
  3. You could try the B&B Batten Library I made in the Symbols Forum...it uses a "Framing Material" to generate 3D B&B just make sure to have Framing on in ALL views to see it.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16852-board-and-batten-library/ there is also a Rainscreen Batten library done the same way https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16723-rainscreen-batten-library/ M.
  4. Ahhhh ..... this explains ALOT ..... I was only "Salt and Pepper " in January and now look like I have a Grey Beanie on ...be aware PBR doesn't only effect the Head too .
  5. Yes I was surprised to read last week that there will be no more Updates for X10 , which really surprised me as I don't think it is really "Done" , still seems to be lots of little niggles and PBR I thought was a "Big One" , as noted above with exteriors being a mess still in particular. M.
  6. That seems typical if you have no background .......is that your case ? I have been using Sky3 lately as it seems to impart the least colour to the lighting in the scene
  7. right, I forgot about Resene's Library but have seen Lysaghts libraries. .
  8. It's a bit strange as in a current test drawing with decks on 3 sides of the house I have it displaying 3 different ways --- for 3 different measurements 10' 2 3/4" shows as 10' 2" 18/25th" 12' 1/16th shows as 12' 0.0525" (and 9' 1" 1/16th shows as 9' 1.3025") The house interior is 25' 9" and shows as 25' 9" so it might depend on how accurate the drawing is perhaps ? I didn't find a setting to get them all the same however. My 1/4" defaults are set for 1/16 accuracy currently
  9. There is an Ozbreed Plants Library but I don't really know if the are truly Australian Plants or not ? ( I am not a landscaper or in Oz) Hardi Library is available though not in All styles yet as I think it is based on US Market Products but Boral has a Library too There is an Old Library of Australian Home Templates around however I don't think they would be all that useful in X10 ? Glennw may know more about that , but I really can't think of too much specific content for Downunder, lots of people from OZ and NZ on the Forum though so you will be in good company. 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.
  10. Ahhh .....that is not clear from the OP ( it says free ) , OR the new Post.... M.
  11. Nicely done Bryce ! There you go Archi , save yourself some time and buy an Auditorium Symbol off Bryce
  12. Add it as your cover photo in the Profile , not to the Signature I believe... delete it from your Sig. too
  13. Not sure ? all I did in a fresh copy of the plan was mark the walls knee and deleted the truss base and everything is fine , but I did the Wall>Knee change 1st .
  14. I have noticed CloudFlare has been having some Issues myself if you use their DNS servers?
  15. Nice work as Usual Dave , you might want to Put things in there Own thread though as Others who saw the Railing may not look again in this thread. PS the Door does not appear to be where you think you left it page 2 ? http://www.davidmichaeldesigns.com/free2.html M.
  16. No. 7 clearly states knee walls...... I don't know if it makes a difference in this case , but marking them Knee ( Roof Tab) and deleting the truss Base lets the 3 trusses at the Front generate properly 7. Select each of these two interior walls and click the Open Object edit button. On the Roof panel of the Wall Specification dialog, specify them as Knee Walls. creating-an-attic-truss.pdf
  17. Use the Windows Snipping Tool in Accesories to take a screen shot , save it to your Desktop and drag the pic into this reply box where it says drag files here... you can then delete the file on the Desktop.
  18. It's there now .....not sure about earlier ...sounds like a Server issue
  19. ConDocs are not Automatic ... just a FYI ... they can be a lot of work....
  20. Good advice..... some cards come in smaller versions like the 1060 too
  21. Hmmmm if you have X10 , I am unsure why you don't have Support (SSA) , I thought it was automatic with X10. The Error message is caused by the Attic Truss Setting as I don't think you have fully gone through the Attic Truss tutorial ( I see no knee Walls per the KB) as once I finished the Roofs I can do the Trusses no problem until I set the "Attic truss" in the Truss DBX. ( because I don't have the Attic knee walls either yet I think , too late now to keep playing.) As Eric pointed out there is an unneeded truss base in there too https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00933/creating-an-attic-truss.html?utm_source=Chief+Architect+Premier+20+x64&utm_medium=software&utm_campaign=Resource%3A+faq&utm_content=Error+ID%3A+272003072
  22. Would depend on the Model but you would have RAID 0 NVME SSDs PLUS a HDD ( 1TB-2TB?) for Data in most cases , higher end Laptops have 2 M2 ports usually plus a SATA connector for a standard HDD or SATA SSD for Data
  23. This should really be in the Off-Topic Chatroom but any 10 Series Nvidia card 1060 6GB and up ( 2nd hand 980ti too) will do the Trick...your budget will determine the rest and perhaps the computer you want to add it too....the devil is in the details hence please fill in your signature too. See mine below for how.
  24. No Support , so I guess V10 , not X10 ? (X10 = V20 shingabiss ) If you have HomeDesigner V10 that is a different Forum altogether.....this is why we ask for the Signature. The usual issue is the Roof and Ceiling are not generating properly, hence the Trusses won't build as they need both, to Shape them automatically.
